ELLER RUNS AGAINST sNAe
GordOn's Lawyer Meets with Little
LesaI Proposition from
Judge Baxter.

Attorney j. W. Filler has taken pains
not to tell It himself. but it has leaked ont
that Judge Irving r. Baxter Of the district
court gave lin a severe jolt when he ap-
piled last Saturday for a preliminary writ
Of mandamus compelling the council and
mayor to pay Samuel I. Gordon's salary
as police judge OF Omaha for the month OF
January, 1902.
The Judge told Mr.. Eller that his applica.
ton might look all right on paper, but
that the court had q perfect right to and
did take judicial notice Of the facts that
Gordon had submitted himself as a candi-
date for the ONCE Of police Judge at the
last election. that he had been defeated,
that his opponent, Judge Berka, had beer
elected, had duly qualified and was now
serving as such magistrate. Judge Baxter
further cited for Eller's beneht the fact
that Gordon, by submitting himself for
election to the ofice, had conceded the va
cancy in the once and that he could moi
now raise the point that the once was moi
vacant.
Attorneys who have learned Of the an
swer the Judge gave to Filler have APP
plauded among themselves. for they say
that heretofore It has seemed possible fol-
anybody to get almost any kind OF a re-
straining order, injunction or mandamus
signed upon its mere presentation and
without recognition by the court Of any ol
the circumstances Of the case.

TAMPER With CANNED GOODS
Ranchmen In Wyoming Think an At
tempt Has Been Made to
Poison Them.

SHERMAN, wyo., March 5.-(special.)-
The details Of what was undoubtedly a das-
tardly attempt to commit murder are COM
ing to light here ana a sensational arrest
may occur at any time.
A few weeks ago James Boyle, a ranch
man living ten miles east OF this place,
went away from home and when he returned
he found thai his house had been ransacked
from top to bottom. Several articles OF
small value were missing. Boyle thought
little Of the matter. however, until a week
had elapsed, when himself and partner be-
came dangerously III. The ranchmen had
eaten a quantity Of canned tomatoes and
corn and as soon as they we're able to leave
their beds they made an Investigation, the
results Of which were somewhat startling.
Il was found that every can in the case Of
canned goods had been tempered with. The
labels had been carefully removed, a hole
made in the tin with some instrument and
a peculiarly smelling compound pushed
through the hole, after which the opening
had been plugged with wood and the label
replaced. Two OF the cans have been sent
to Cheyenne. where a analysis of their
contents will be made by a chemist.

feet Of snow, which the men were compelled
to dig out OF the way before they could &c.

torneyss The jury had been out since noon.
Fer q trial In which the charge is murder
and the defendant a woman. the proceeding
