Objects to Being Served with sum-
mons from state Court.
HARRISON. Neb.. April 23.-(special.)-
After district court had adjourned Saturday
evening, the sheriff Of Sioux county-a big,
Btrapping, typical western sheriff-was no
tlced to enter the hotel and call Special
United States Agent F. B. DeFreese aside,
and TO attempt to serve upon him some
process from the state courts. Nothing
much would have been thought of this,
however had not Mr.. DeFreese become ex-
cited. and attempted to stand upon his
dignity as the representative of the Presi-
dent of the United States. and refuse TO
recognize the authority of a Nebraska
offi er or court. However, his dignity didn't
cut much figure with this officer, VINO holly
declared, well. I'm the sheriff of this
county, and I'm going to serve this sum
mons upon you, even il you are president
Of the United States" whereupon he served
It. This caused Mr.. DeFreese to become
more excited and attracted the attention of
the crowd, who were In full and gleeful
sympathy with Ed Lyons, the sheriff In
stead of taking the matter philosophically,
Mr.. DeFreese got more excited, and after
wards Jumped an attorney who had been
attending district court, in public, on the
street, supposing that this attorney was re-
sponsible for the process, which Mr.. De
Freese held In his face.
1t transpired that one Sam Chrisman, a
worthy young pioneer, crippled from birth
made an entry on 100 acres of hills and
, canyons in this county about seven or eight
years ago. About two years ago he offered
| his final proof. and received his receiver
certificate therefor. and then moved of the
claim temporarily. Some months later HI
was dumbfounded to receive a notice from
the land Office that his entry and proc
were peremptorily suspended. No suspicion
\ of any complaint or protest had been filet
against him. and no special agent or repre-
spoken to or applied to him for information
or direction over the claim, upon which h,
1 had three houses. The notice further com
manded that unless he produced witnesse
! at time and place appointed and showed
cause thereby to the contrary, his entr!
| and proof would be cancelled. He EN-
! ployed an attorney and they endeavored I,
| get some information from the department
| at Washington as to the nature of the re
port and offered to pay for a copy thereof
but the department refused to give the in
formation or the copy. Chrisman attende,
with his witnesses at the time and plac
appointed on several different occasions
only to be told that, owing to other en-
gagements Of Mr. De Freese, he woult
! have to come back when he got furthe
/ notice. Each trip, with witnesses cost hin
about so. and Is yet out his patent ant
| the hearing. He has sued Mr.. DeFreese II
! the district court of Sioux county for 81 90

SAN FRANCISCO. April 2s.-The MEM
bers of the Clearing House association
met this morning at the residence of Mrs.
Eleanor Martin. The association was in
session for about an hour, but it's plans
were not in sufficiently comprehensive
form to be given out. 1t was announced,
however, that the association had passed
the resolution unfolding and recommend
ing the action of Governor Pardee in de-
claring a holiday from day to day. The
association regarded this as the best pos
sible method OF giving time to the banks
! to get their affairs into such shape that
! they may pay their depositors and meet
other obligations without the trouble that
would be likely to ensue IL they were to
be called upon at the present time. II
was the general opinion that the banks
would be able to meet all calls on them
