The foods throughout the state de-
layed the arrival in this city of officers
and Jurors of the United States district
court and when the court opened at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Judge r.
w. Archibald had to adjourn 1t until 10
o'clock this morning. 1t was the first
time that Judge Archibald appeared on
the bench in this city wearing his ju-
dicial robe.
District Attorney s. j. McCarrell left
Harrisburg for this city early yester-
day morning, but was stalled some
where en-route and Fred c. Leonard,
the marshal, found it an impossbility
to get here from his home in Potter
county. When the list of jurors was
called it was found that less than one
half of them responded to their names.
