Had Another Hearing This Morning
 Before Judge CoweH.

5Iad Another Hearing This Morning
 Before Judge Cowell.
 The inquiry into the sale of the Do- mestic Pie Baking company was re- sumed to-day before Judge CoweH at short calendar in the district court. Attorney Cole opened the proceedings with a statement that when he got Judgment for Mrs Margaret Grebbins versus the Pie company, he thought that was the last of it. Judge Cow ell started to speak when Attorney Cole said he now wished to make a motion to erase the, motion of E. R. Perkins receiver for the company, for instructions Thereupon Attorneys Wood and Church jumped up with ob- jections Attorney Cole held there was no such case in court as that which Attorney Durant was sum- moned to appear. That case was dis posed of. therefore the court had no Jurisdiction here. Judge Cowell re- cited the circumstances of the case down to the appointment of the re- ceiver, who found things in such a con- | dition when he took possession that he applied to the court for instruc- tions. But Attorney Cole replied that that had nothing to do with Mrs r Grebbins, then why should other pro- ceedings be instituted to recover a pal try debt of S2S in the name of Mrs l Grebbins. MT Durant is a busy yo11ng man and it was not fair to him to be yanked into court by the back of the neck to please MT Bronson or his cli- ent. Attorney Cole had the audience and attorneys in roars of laughter. l put Tn concluding said the whole af- fair was nothing but a local, petty en- mity. Why, the whole sum-" said he, would not buy a keg of decent butter''
 Attorney Bronson in taking the floor said he rose in shame and confu- sion with the filth that had been ca st upon him. He did not understand that l he was associated with MT Coles cIi- ent. He would plead not guilty. Then he went over his actions in the case. As to jurisdiction if the court has the power to appoint receiver, it. can do so. and whatever mistake there may be in the title of fhe case can easily De Temed1ed. Attorney Wood appeared for the stockholders of the Pie company. If the case is thrown out of court it would be like throwing meas go dogs and the interests of the stockholders would be wasted in law suits.
 Attorney Church appeared for the receiver. and asked Attorney Russell whom he appeared for. Attorney l Russell thought it made no difference to Attornev Church whom he appeared l for, but after short tilt admitted that he appeared for Attorney Durant, that he had so stated before and did not think it necessary to restate it ev- cry time he spoke. Attorney Russell repeated his previous objection to B. R. Perkins continuing to act as receiv- CT because he had not signed a bond. All the attorneys were then heard and Judge CoWell spoke on his jurisdic- tion. He believed he had jurisdic- ton, but would be very glad to find he had not. It was evident to the court that the largest stockholder of the Pie company did not understand much about business for he allowed a creditor to take away goods, he, the stockholder, had bought, claiming that he, the creditor, had legal right to them.
 Attorney Durant asked if the stock
 holder had said that the goods taken away were bought fam the original Pie company, and. the court said he
 could not say as to that
 Attorney Cole took the floor again and said the whole proceedings were . improperly drawn up and should he thrown out of court. There is more
 bother about this paltry claim of S2s than there was in the whole case ot
 the Parsons bank. t'Why don't you sue Durant manfuIly?" said Attorney Cole.
 T have done so," replied Attorney !, Bronson.
 ''nhen if you get Judgment I'll pay the bill. I'll pay 1t anyway" said . Attorney Cole. Attorney Russell said he would also } pay the claim. and Attorney Bronson , asked them to put their offers on pa } per.
 The court settled the matter by or dering the clerk ito vacate all order. and all papers issued in tire matte
 except the Judgment for forecIosur, . granted to Mrs Grebbins, and if an, of the attorneys wish they can renew , proceedings under the proper title. f NlANTED-Four Union Carpenters af ones
