fornla decisions cited for appellants
may no longer be considered good

there has been departure from tho

because at that time the value OF

light of reason as applied to the or
binary rules of practice, and give due
weight to the later section. Appar-
emily the object Of this legislation was
to prevent the granting of extensions
and the meddling of judges in cases
which they had not tried or which
We're not properly under their CONTROL
and yet in the case of the absence or
inability of the judge who tried the
action, to grant relief, or allow ex-
tensions to be made to deserving 1iti-
giants.
The argument advanced comedies
that if Judge Murphy had gone to
Reno and entered the order in open
court it would have been good, but I'M
der this contention if he had stepped
through the door into the chambers
and made it, it would have been void
Orders extending the time for filings
are business usually, or properly
transacted in chambers and under
Section Z573 can and ought to be
made as effectually in any part of the
State by the judge having the case in
charge. as if made by him in cham
bers or in open court. Judge Murphy
was merely acting for Judge Curler
during his vacation, but by analogy
the construction ,laimed, if adopted,
would, in every case where district
Judge dies resigns or is succeeded,
invalidate the orders extending time
under section 1877 made out of court
by his successor in office although
they are of that character ordinarily
granted in chambers. This would
mean a distinction and two rules for
fling orders of the same kint,
and that the judge who had tried the
cause as Judge Curler had done in
this instance. could make the order IN
chambers. while his successor could
so make it only in the cases tried by
him. and would have to be in court
to make these simD'e orders extend
ing time in actions which had been
previously tried by another judge.
Appellants desired and were entifl-
ed to the time granted for the pu~-
pose of enabling them to secure from
the court reporter who had left the
State, a transcript of the testimony
given on the trial. which would ena-
Bile them to properly prepare the state
meni
Under Section 2573 Judge Curler
could have made an order granting
them the extension at any place in
the State, and as during his absence
Judge Murphy was requested by the
Court minutes to attend to all bust
ness for him. we conclude that he was
empowered to make the order at Cai
son City as he did and as Judge Cur
Ter could have done, and that it Wa;
not necessary for him to make the trip
to Reno and undergo the Formally OF
opening court to enter ex parte orders
simply extending time. such as are
usually made out of court.
The motion to dismiss the appeal
from the order overruling ne motion
for a new trial and to strike out the
statement is denied.

HOTEL NOW SURE
Important Deal in Real Estate
Last Thursday

The Greeley hotel situation is TAX
ing on more definite shape every day.
Last Thursday d. A. Camfeld pur-
chased the Oasis hotel from the
Colorado Mortgage s. Investment
company for something less that
1926, 900. 1t is probable that the
Elks' lodge will buy the hotel and
remodel it, and use the two upper
floors for club rooms and lodge rooms.
Mr.. Camfield was acting for the
hotel committee OF the Commercial
Club in the purchase, and this was
really only desirable step toward
tine new hotel which will likely be
erected at the northwest corner OF
Tenth avenue and Ninth street. lt
was felt that the town could not sup
port two large hotels, and as It was
desired to, put up structure tnat
would in every way be modern Tor
its size, it vas decided to eliminate,
if possible, the Oasis from the hotel
field. 49,.
1t is probable that the entlre
lower floor will be remodeled, the
floor dropped to a level with the
sidewalk all over and nice fronts put
in, This will give six or eight "s
nice stores as can be found IN oree-
lev, and will help materially III oc-
fraying the cost of remodeling'
The changes in hotel accommoua-
tions to bring these up on an equality
with the rest of the town Will DC
directly the result of the efforts OF
the Commercial Club, although ~,
A, Camtield and his brother VIII.
likely put up the greatest amount o'
,,op,y ,f onv Individuals.

lust Repairing.

The First National Bank building
has been the center of attraction the
past week on account Of some little
repair work that has been going on.
A crack in the wall of the second
story that has been there for twenty
years, or thereabout, is being filled
up, because it didn't look good.
This gave rise to all kinds Of rumor
that the building was falling. 1t
was simply crack in the outside
veneer of brick and to draw this to-
gether a little, 4 strong truss was
put under the floor in the office of
j. w. McCreery.
The Railways on the second floor
are being covered with cork and
mating and rubber mating is being
put on the stairways.

Child is Lost.

A New Harmony. Indiana, editor
has sent out market copies of his
paper to every newspaper In the
country in an endeavor to help To-
cate the six years old son of DR.. S.
L. Byers of Seeleyville, Ind who
was stolen from his home about a
year ago.
More because it is a worthy pur-
pose than with any hope of results
the following description of the litJle
fellow is republished:
Richmond Byers, If alive was
six years old last July, is of light
complexion, has grey eyes, left eye
Doticebly crossed, has small V
shaped nick in the edge of the left
ear, has sharp chin and narrow,
projecting forehead. He is rather
small for his age and is unusually
bright and intelligent, talking after
the manner of a boy much older.
CDR. Byers has searched among
the rowing bands that frequent the
United States and believes that his
son can be found among travelling
junk dealers, SO called horse traders
or movers. He does not think the
boy was stolen..by genuine gypsies.
He thinks he was taken by wan
dering band that used him for the
purpose of begging in the towns
along the route. This child may
now be in the family Of some farmer
who would be glad to give him up
toshis parents if their identify were
known. For after child reaches
the age of seven. the gypsies abandon
them or give them away"
