Governor PEaB0DY
SEVERELY CRITICISED
A Democratic Judge Declares His Off
GERS to Be in Contempt of Court.

Ouray, Colorado, April 11-District
Judge Theron Stevens today declared
Adjutant General Bell and Captain
Bulkeley Wells to be in contempt of
court for not complying with the writ
of habeas corpus which required them
to bring before the court today Charles
H. Meyer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, whom they are
holding in confinement at Telluride.
The court ordered Sheriff Corbett to
arrest the two officers. Judge Stevens
severely criticized the course of Cover
ties, saying they appeared to be in an
insurrection against the courts.
The return made by General Bell
through Assistant District Attorney
David Howe of Telluride excused his
action on producing Meyer in court in
pursuance of the writ of habeas cor
pus, on the ground that the Governor
had ordered him to disregard it. His
plea was that he deemed it unsafe to
take Meyer to Ouray or to reduce the
military at Telluride, by doing SO.
Judge Stevens said: ''The people of
Ouray will rightly resent the imputa-
ton that General Bell or Captain Wells
could not come alone and in safety
with President Meyer before this court
The charges against the law abiding
citizens of this county are unjust
There are no signs of violence here. If
there is to be reign despotism in
this state and the civil authority is to
have no jurisdiction the latter might
as well go out of business

WILLIAMS TROUBLES
IN AFRICA
The Natives Defeated After a Hard
ight-Germans Lose Two
Officers.

Berlin, April 1.-THE foreign Office
received today the following dispatch
from Colonel Leutwein, the Governor
of German Southwest Africa: with
the united principal division and the
western division | attacked the enc
my's chief force, about 5000 strong at
Onganjira. The heroes were in strong
semi-circular position on the hill
fronting the northwest. We first flank
ed and then forced back the enemy's
wing, attacking their center and right.
Two energetic attacks of the enemy
against our left were repulsed. The
enemy's position was broken through
at nightfall after eight hours hard
fighting and the enemy driven back on
all sides. Our losses include Lieuten-
ant Won Esteroff and Won Erffa and
two cavalry men were killed, Lieuten-
ant Rosenberg and five men were
severely, and five men slightly wound
ed. The enemy's loss was not ascer-
tanned but it must have been heavy,
owing to our artillery fire."

Montreal, April 1.-THE flood situa-

the water has entirely receded, but
the Verdun municipality west of Mon
