Judge instructed Sergeant-at-
Arms to Notify the Men TO
be Present.
CAUSE FREQUENT
Trouble Nearly Always Caused by
Failure of Those Subpoenaed for
Jury to Attend Court.

EXasperated at the repeated failures
Of men subpoenaed for jury duty in
the district court to appear according
to law, Judge Adrian Lyon, this
morning. took steps to remedy the
evil. He delivered an order to have
the clerk notify five men, who failed
to appear for duty this morning. to
appear before him Monday morning to
Judged guilty OF contempt of court.
The five men who were not in court
to answer when their names were
called were Joseph Bluck, William
Pfeifier. Harry Drost. George Evans
and Charles Snyder.
For Il long time. since the establish
ment of the local court, this trouble
has been Il bane. Delay has been
caused in frequent instances in the
drawing of juries for trials. Some
times, after wait of considerable
duration. counsel have agreed to pro-
ceed with Il jury of.eight, nine or ten
men. Other times. the court has been
held up until the sergeant-at-arms has
gone out-and reminded the negligent
citizens of their duty.
\ fine of go is provided by law for
failure to obey such a summons of the
court
The case this morning was the suit
for $50 brought by David 5. Holcomb
of 81 Dey street. New York, against
the G. Pardee Works.
This was special day for the trial
in question, and the hour set for the
commencement OF the proceedings
was 80 O'Clock. The jury seats were
gradually filed, until but three of the
twelve remained vacant,
Finally, when 10 o clock had passed.
the court and counsel grew impatient
and Judge Lyon said; The clerk
will order the persons who have failed
to answer to their names to appear
Monday morning to show cause why
they should not be adjudged guilty OF
contempt OF court"
The jury box was by this time filled
and the trial commenced.
The jury at the first trial Of this
suit disagreed. Mr.. Holcomb sues for
the price of Il second hand three
horsepower electric motor. The
Pardee concern refused to pay for the
motor on the ground that it was not
as represented. a large number of
witnesses were introduced, including
expert testimony.
At the former trial. two weeks ago.
the jury consisted of but nine men be-
cause several failed to answer the
summons.
Lawyer G. J. Plechner represented
Mr.. Holcomb. and j. f.. Stricken is

Youthful Bandits Decide that Their
Captive Must Die at the Stake
Taken to a Shanty.


John Christoffersen. the thirteen
year-old son of Christian Christotier-
sen, of 81 Smith street, has COM
planned TO the pc lice that he was held
w in true western style by eight boys.
none of them older than himself and
an attempt made to burn him while
tied to stake.
The affair took place in the aristo-
cratic section Of the city. near the foot
of High street, and the six youngsters
accused are all OF highly respected
families. and have heretofore borne
good records.
Young Christotlersen, who was ac-
companied by his father when he
visited police headquarters, say, that
he was near the foot of High street
when the wild and woolly eight ran
up and. with hatchets, clubs and
stones, took him captive. Menacing
him with threatening geSticulation>
the alleged youthful banditti led him

nearby.
There his captors held a council of
war. while he sat trembling in fear,
They decided to carry tile affair
farther in a spirit OF mischief, it j,
supposed, and led Christotfer,en to a
secluded SPOT short distance away,
and tied him to stake or pole.
Then, according to the lads story,
they became imbued with a tiendish
idea. Some of them he says, hcaped
up brush and sticks about the stake
and set fire to the pile.
Before he was burned, however,
Christohersen, amid the yells and in
cantations of his captors, managed to
wrest the pole loose, and made his es-
cape.
The eight boy, were arraigned be-
fore Recorder Piclersgill this noon.
According to their story they used
no hatchets and their fire was simply
burning some papers. They acknow-
ledged starting the fire, but claim that
it wa, fully yard away from the
pole to which Christoilersen was tied.
The eight all wanted to speak at
once when the charge was read TO
them. but finally the tallest boy. Il s)n
