JUDGE CHLOUPtK'S DECISION.

A. j. Svacina has taken an appeal to
the circuit court from the decision
rendered by Judge Chloupek in n suit
brought by Svacina against Mrs. A. b.
Melendy to collect the premium on n fire
insurance policy on the residence of the
defendant. The case was tried in the
municipal court by Judge Chloupek
Municipal Judge Schmidt being absent
The court held that, inasmuch az Mrs.
Melendy had not paid the premium on

her property against fire. In other
words rs the premium had not been
paid the policy was not in effect. The
attorney for the plaintiff argued that
the residence of the defendant was in
sured from the time the insurance was
written, inasmuch "a the policy was ac
cepted Mt that time. Mrs. Melendy
subsequently accepted another policy.

Alleged Assassin's Innocence.

Denver Jan. 10.-After long con-
ference on the question whether the
Western Federation of Miners should
take up the defense of Harry Or
chard, now held at Caldwell, Idaho,
charged with the Assassination Of for
iner Governor Steunenberg. Secretary
William d. Haywood sent the follow
ing telegram to r. ]. Hanlon, finan-
cial secretary of the Miners union at
Silver City, Idaho:
Press dispatches indicate there is
another conspiracy to connect the
Western Federation of Miners with
grave grimes. Several persons in
Caldwell have been arrested in pur-
suance of the conspiracy. The West
ern Federation of Miners defends no
member guilty of crime.
But in the past it has found that
every one of its members accused of
crime was innocent and they would
have been victims of conspiracy had
not the organization aided in their de-
fense. Have Mr.. Nugent take up the
defense of any member of the organi-
zation. so that If innocent he may be
discharged"
John F. Nugent is an attorney at
Silver City.
