Guard Rail for
hangman Creek Hill

Street Commissioner Root has de-
cided to put railing along the steep
hill leading into Hangman Creek

safeguard was made apparent a few
days ago when a wagon containing q

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-James
Metcalf. until yesterday superintend-
ent OF the money order division Of
the postoffice department, had q
lengthy interview with Postmaster
General Payne this morning. He
knew yesterday that his conduct was

Of some to question the accuracy of
the information upon which Mr.

of Senator Allison. Payne's friends
fear he Is on the verge OF nervous
prostration and feels keenly the bur-
den of criticism. Yesterday evening
he broke down completely while at
tempting to answer questions In re-

CARELESS
IN CASE

Attorney John Gleeson in arguing
for a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Richardson this morning
charged that John Lea had been lille
gally deprived of his liberty by in
generation in the county Jail without
due process Of law through the fling
Of an information. Lea has been with
Jailer Doust for IS days, the only
matters Of record being in the police
court and no formal commitment
having been issued out Of that court
for the crime charged. that Of dis
posing of mortgaged property
Prosecuting Attorney Kifnball ad-
mitted that the statutory time had
passed and he could not resist the
application for the writ. He asked
the court, however, to hold Lea and
he would file an information forth
with. Then Attorney Gleeson waxed
warm. What he said was in effect
this:
ed and SO have IS days without any
show OF diligence to hold him on any
charge. That is a gross violation Of
his constitutional rights. Now the
prosecutor admits an that and says
that If the court will only hold the
man little longer he will fix up
some charge or another"
Judge Richardson considered that
according to the law he should dis
charge Lea, but, using his discretion
as an official. he decided to hold him
for an information. Mr. Kimball be-
fore noon brought in an information
charging Lea with disposing of one
brood sow and four pigs, and that
they were mortgaged at the time of
the sale. The SOW and pigs were
valued at $98.
