harncy Case to the House.

| HELENA, Feb. 6.-The sensation OF
the afternoon in the house was the re-
port of the judiciary committee on the
Harney investig alton, recommending
indefinite postponement of resolution
regarding impeachment. The report
was signed by all the members of the
committee and was adopted without
division. The report was to the fol.
lowing effect:
"Mr. Speaker-Your committee on

following resolution. to.wit:

OF impeachment, present them at the
bar OF the senate and prosecute the
same.
"Beg leave to report that we have

have heard evidence concerning the
matters therein contained, trans.
cript Of which evidence is herewith
submitted.
"While the evidence will be found
IN many Instances contradictory, aud
while on some matters there is an ir-
reconcilable conflict. your committee
report that in our opinion such evil
dence is insufficient to warrant US in
finding that probable cause exists for
the institution of the impeachment
proceedings against said e. w. Har-
ney, Judge of the district court of Sill.
yer Bow county, for the commission
of high crimes and misdelreanors.

the evidence tends to show tn at in some
instances the conduct of said Judge
E. W. Harney has been such as is not
becoming in one occupying so import
ant and honorable a position as that
OF district Judge, yet IN our Judgment
the evidence is not sufficient to Justify
a recommend alton tn at probable cause
exists for the impeachment of said
Judge on the ground of m malfeasauce in
Office.

mend that further consideration of
said resolution be indefinitely post.

BET SEVEN LOCOMOTIVES.

That's What Missouri Pacific Omcial Staked
Their Bridge Across Kaw-He Won
did you ever see a man in a poker
game bet every cent he had on three
aces?" asked Fred S. Bullene, Of the
Kansas City Star, recently. "WeH that
is what W. S. Carson, superintendent of
Missouri Pacific terminals at Kansas
City, did last Wednesday. But the
stakes we're bigger, probably, than were
ever played in a poker game. He bet
seven mOgul locomotives and his job
that the Missouri Pacific bridge would
not go outfits in the face of the fact
that II bridges across the Kaw had al
ready gone. And he won.
"Now the Missouri Pacific has the
only bridge across the Kaw at that
place.
when Mr.. Carson saw that his CON-
pany's bridge was likely to 60 the way
the others went, be took a desperate
chance. He decided to weight the
bridge down with mogul locomotives,
Seven Of them, representing a value OF
sI25, 900, were run out on the trembling
structure.
"He knew, as did everybody else
that if the bridge went the engines went
with it, but he took the chance, and
took it alone, for the city was cut %
from communication with the other
heads Of departments, and there was no
one to consult with. Had the bridge
and engines gone, his job would have
gone, and with it a large share Of his
reputation as a man Of sound judgment
but the plan was a winner, and now his
stock is way above par. He is in line
for almost anything the company has tC

DEAD FROM CANCER.

Peter Doerfer sueeumbs After Five Years
Fight with Cancer OF the Pace
Peter DOerfer, for many years resi-
dent of Sherman county, and a veteran
of the civil war, died at his home in
Goodland, Monday, June 8, from the ef-
fects Of a cancer, which afflicted him for
five years. He was 81 years old. Fun
eral services were held at the Catholic
church at two o'clock Tuesday after
noon and burial made IN the GOOdland
cemetery.
The cancer made its first appearance
upon the face Of BIr. DOerfer five years
ago. After it was discovered that the
small red spot which made its discomht-
ing appearance was cancer, Mr.. DOerfer
went to Kansas City where he received
the treatment Of a specialist. The sore
was healed over in a short time, and
when he returned home no anxiety was
felt as to the returning Of the trouble,
but in less than a month the malignant
growth began to return and spread rap
idly around the point where 1t hrst
broke out. From that day to the time
Of his death Mr.. Doerfer was a great
sufferer, and nothing but a noble fOrti-
tude and unusual bodily vigor enabled
him to make 50 long a fight for his life
He returned to the same specialist
who had first treated him, but was told
that the cancer was beyond control
He then went to Denver in the hope OF
finding some specialist whose methods
might avail, but al in vain Wherever
he went and he counseled the most emil
nent specialists in the west, the same
discOuraging opinions we're always given
At last he returned home TO face a fight
against death. All the rest he got was
from the temporary relief afforded by
the influence Of anaesthetics.
The cancer all the while continued
to spread until the whole side Of MS face
was eaten away. Mr.. DOerfsr died
from exhaustion rather from the activ-
ity Of the cancer upon any Of the vital
parts beneath the face
Mr.. Doerfer was born in Germany
but emigrated to this country early II
life. He enlisted in the Third WiscOn-
sin infantry, serving IS months in the
civil war. he was only Is years old
when be was mustered out in July,
1854.
1t was in 1885 that Mr.. DOerfer and
his family came to Sherman county. he
was one Of the pioneers Of northwest
Kansas, and took up q homestead IN
Smoky township and knew what it was
to face the uncertain fortunes Of a new
country. The deceased leaves a wife,
Eve sons and three daughters.

suffered an accident which cost him his
right arm. He was getting ready to
pull a.train out Of the yard and had sp-
piled sand to start. 1t failed TO work
and he swung out on the steps to see
what the matter was, and he fell, the
wheels Of the tank passing over his arm
below the elbow joint. He received full
insurance for total disability, which was
