EASTMAN'S CASE DEFERRED
County, oOmmissioners Take Day
II Consider Points in Law
and Evidence.

Sltlihg as a court to consider the impeach-
mehtl of Justice of the Peace Eastman, the
Boar N of County Commissioners found
themselves with an elephant on their hands.
Attorneys Daniel Horr4gan, who brought
the Gharges, and John H. Wharton, defend
lng' fhad many a warm tilt over the method
OF Procedure, and Mr.. Wharton was not at
all careful to modulate a naturally strong
VOICE. Mr. Horrigan is low-voiced but per-
sisfent, and tina chief itIstice of the court,
NJ Kennard, was compelled to hold many
y conference with his colleagues over the
objections and counter objections raised.
frhe associate justices looked as wise and
interested as the veriest big wig OF them all
could possibly look. Heads were wagged,
eyebrows lifted. law points canvassed and
decisions given most soberly; but, be 1t
said to the credit OF the court, with a hber-
ality that sought TO develop all the facts
\ Justice Eastman admitted changing a
judgment after 1t had been entered in a
replevin case, and also that he had paid
back certain amount that had been paid
him for change Of venue. This after he
had tried the case. Mr.. Horrigan contends
that a judgment must be entered within
four days and cannot be changed. There
were two other counts in the com
plant lodged with the board by Mr. Horri-
gan. but this transaction appeared to be
the principal one to which exception was
! taken.
! The taking of testimony occupied half a
day Saturday and two hours Monday morn
ing. The arguments were then opened and
the chief Justice and his associates had to
sit ana listen But they first took the pre-
caution to limit the attorneys to fifteen
minutes each.
At the end of the talkfest the court took
| ntil Tuesday to consider its verdict.

MOTHER SEARCHING FOR HER son
Leaves Train Between Kansas City
and Council BLUFFS.


and Council BLUFFS.
Mrs. Bridget Cunningham, who resides
near Merle, Ia, applied at police head
quarters yesterday afternoon for assistance
in locating her son. Thomas. aged 30 years,
who mysteriously disappeared from Bur-
lington train Saturday afternoon while she
was accompanying him to Council Bluffs.
The son was recovering from a severe
attack OF malarial fever and Mrs. Cunning
ham went last Monday to Billings, Mo-.
to bring him home to Merle. intending, how
ever. to stop OF here for a day or two and
visit another son, Philip Cunningham, in
South Omaha. At Kansas City Mrs. Cum
ninghAm bought tickets over the Burling-
ton for Council Bluffs. After leaving St.
Joseph the son left his mother and went
into the smoking car. but when the train
reached the local depot In, Council Bluffs
he was not to be found. A search at the
transfer depot failed to locate the missing
man and Mrs. Cunningham FASTENED to
South Omaha thinking that perhaps her
son had succeeded in reaching the home Of
his brother there. He, however, was not
in South Omaha and up to yesterday after
noon the aged mother had failed 10 secure
any trace of her son. and when she sought
the assistance of the local police she was
almost Frustrated with anxiety.
Thomas Cunningham. the missing man,
is about six feet tall. but bent from sick
ness. He was dressed in an old plaid suit
and wore a blue peaked cap. His hair is
dark brown and his face was clean shaven.
He had no money and his mother fears
that his severe illness may have made him
mentally deranged. Mrs. Cunningham re-
turned last evening to the home OF her son
in South Omaha, deferring her return TO
her home in Merle in the hopes of getting
some tidings OF the missing man, as the
local officials OF the Burlington agreed to
send a tracer out along the line.

Although Councilman GeoSse 4. Nichoi-
son of the Fourth ward did not die until
$50 Sunday afternoon, and even then his
end was sudden and unexpected, politicians
were avidiy discussing tine matter OF his
successor Sunday evening. II is said that
one or two secret meetings were held for
the purpose OF shaping up the deal. Coun-
cilmen who will have the task OF choosing
a man to I'LL the vacancy say they know
nothing about any such gatherings.
The death of the Fourth ward councilman
is the second in the present city council,
the first being that of r. w DybaIl of the
Seventh ward, early in the year, after
long sickness of Brisht's disease. In his
case the matter OF a successor was discussed
openly long before his death and arrange
ments made to have him resign from his
sickbed so that his brother, Charles G.
Dyball might be installed in his place, This
proposed shifting involved corporation in
terests and did not go through. Later
Charles @, Dyball was elected to fill the
vacancy, but not until some time after
his brothers death.

Coming very suddenly, the demise OF
Councilman Nicholson left the politicians
and corporation lobbyists unprepared but

 colonists near Nuevas Casas Gran des, Chihuahua, are Investigating the sugar beet business in the United States and planting experi- mental plots on their lands near Nuevas Casas Grandes with view of exploiting the industry on a large scale, if it is shown the sugar beet will flourish in Chihuahua.
 Mexican Herald: The Los Taios Development Company, which has been operating group ot proper ties at Morelos, Chihuahua, has abandoned operations, owing to the fact that the mines. which obtained under option, did not come up to expectations Morelos was once famous for its silver ores but of late years there has been little doing in the camp.
 Mexican Herald: It is now be- lieved probable T. H. Oxnam will continue as general manager of the Palmarejo mines in Chihuahua. It was rumored at the time Mir Oxnam went to London to attend the annual meeting of the com pany that he would not return. It is now stated the company in all probability will renew it's con tract with Mr. Oxnam.
 Mexican Herald. The public works department of the city gov ernment has conducted a contract with the Mexican Electric Light and Power company to supply en- ergy to establish two electric pumps at puItepec for raising the water from the springs to an elevation sufficient to run the water into the city. The operation has been effected hitherto by steam pumps which are very defective.
 Mexican Herald: As a result of a quarrel growing out of jealousy. Altagracia Gutierrez and Margarita Camacho, two woman of the lower class, fought a desperate duel yes- terday on Calle de la Peniten- ciaria. Knives were the weapons used. When the police appeared on the scene the Gutierrez woman had sustained four long cuts on the face, while the Camacho wo- man was suffering from eleven wounds in different parts of the body, several of which are consid- cred dangerous. Both were taken to Juarez hospital and placed at the disposal of the authorities.

Arrangements, it is stated, have been completed for the purchase of site for the plant at Tabaloapa, three miles south of the city, and the final surveys are now being made How soon actual construction work will be started is not known, but it is believed it will not be long delayed as the need for smelter in Chihuahua is generally recognized. There has been talk of the construction, but it is probable that if the trust erects one this project will be dropped.
