over-working in pumping thick, kidney

WINCHESTER MAY
SUCCEED CLERK NEARY
Well Authenticated Rumor
That Judge Cochran Will
Name Popular Man

There was awell authenticated rumor
on the street this morning to the effect
that Municipal Judge Edwin r. Coch-
ran would appoint Sidney Winchester
clerk Of the court to succeed John f.
Neary, who now holds that position.
It is the belief of many persons who
were spoken TO regarding It that Mr..
winchester will eventually receive the
appointment
Judge Cochran was seen by a reporter
for the Evening Journal in the Ford
Building and when asked If he would
appoint Mr., Winchester clerk Of the
court. said that he had nothing to say.
To all other questions asked him Judge
Cochran had the same answer.
Mr.. Neary. the present clerk, was
also asked about the rumor but he
refused to talk on the subject.
It seems 90 be the general opinion
that IL Judge Cochran is determined to
remove Mr.. Neary. who has been a
most efficient officer. that the selection
OF Mr.. Winchester would be a good one.
He is a brother Of James p. Winches-
ter. president Of the First National
Bank and was formerly in the lum-
Der business.
Il is not thought there will be a
change in the clerkship before the
first Of the year. The judge first in
tended to appoint Former Councilman
II. r. Smith to the position.
