Judge Dunno Issues Writ of Habe Corpus

I'VE do not feel that we have any
favOrs coming from this court" Mr..
Altgeld answered. I'VE are very much
obliged"
The courtroom was crowded to the
limit when Judge Hanecy read the de-
ciSiOn.
The article in the American upon which
the proceedings in contempt were based
was a criticism of the courts decision
on an application for the forfeiture of
the charter Of the Peoples Light, Gas &
Coke company.
Judge Hanecy said if the matter pub
lished were allowed to go unnoticed by
the court. it paved the way for other
attacks and that the judiciary. if not
held in respect, would fall with all dem
Ocratic government.
The article, the court declared, was
not merely an attack on the people and
on the court, but bold threat to every
other court. 1t should, therefore, not go
unpunished.
A few minutes after the rendering of
the decision and the imposition of the
sentences as to Lawrence and Garfield,
Judge Dunno. upon application. issued
a writ of habeas corpus as to them, re-

has been made to have the census office
announce the result of the live stock
census made last year In time for the
national convention of stockmen here
next month.
At the present time there are no re-
liable figures to show the condition of
the visible supply of cattle in the coun-
try but the census figures of last year
will give a basis from which to make
close. estimates. Assistant Secretary
Johnson of the national association says
that the census Office has promised to
have the total figures upon the census
of last year ready in time for the con-
vention, the first of the month.
While local packers admit a scarcity
of hfgh-grade corn-fed beef, they say
the supply Of ordinary cattle is still
equal to all remands being made.

STUART VS.. HAUsLR.
Great Mining Suit Now on Trial at
Boise City, Idaho.
(By Associated Press.)


Boise. Idaho, Nov. 12.-In the trial at
weser of the great mining suit of Stuart
versus Hauser ct AL, the plaintiff put on
some local witnesses who testified that
they considered the property Hth a
million dollars in 1890 the time OF the
transaction, out Of which the present
litigation arises.
After the plaintiff had rested L. F.
Blayden of Helena was put on by the
defense to impeach the reputation for
truth and veracity of Lucien Eaves,
a witness for the plaintiff. His testi-
mony was objected to on the gr r)und that
he is not now resident OF Helena.
The question was taken undec adv :s--
ment.
Governor Hauser took the stand and
detailed his transactions with Gran\ lille
Stuart, the plaintiff. He SAID Stuart was
in financial difficulties, owing the bank
$4,000 and the late A. =. Davis $4,000.
He proposed a general settlement Of
their accounts.
In this settlement he allowed Stuart
$25OO for his interest in this property.
When the amount was made up Hauser
was found to be owing Stuart $4,000.
He (Hauser) had pressed his credit and
for that reason, it was arranged that
the settlement should be made in the
form of two drafts by Stuart on Hauser
at six and eight months for $4,000 each.
Governor Hauser was still OH the stand
when the court adjourned.

Port Townsend. Wash, Nov. 12.-As-
sistant United States Surgeon Dunlap
Moore, who for the past season has been
stationed at Nome in the quarantine
service has returned to the states, and
confirms the rumor that the native Alas

The doctor says that one-third of the
native population in certain coast set
Elements, islands and along the Yukon
river, have suffered from an epidemic
which was brought by whalers from
Northeas stern Siberia. -
The disease was at first diagnosed as
smallpox, but subsequently proved to be
measles.
The condition of the people is most
pitiable.
Every effort is being made to relieve
the sick and care for the orphaned chill

fected section renders the efforts to col

unavailing.
