From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily.
Judge F. w Eichelberger today gave
Judgment for the garnishee in the
case Of ]. B. Sax VS.. r. A. Houghton
ct al and the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy railroad company, garnishee,.
and similar judgment in the cases
OF w. H. Cooper & Son vs.. W. s..
Humphrey, H. e. Swenson and the
Martin Furniture company against the
same defendants.
The effect of this decision is to re-
lieve the garnishee of any responsible
ity. The cases were appealed from the
justice court and are all similar In
their nature Houghton, the defend
ant, contracted large number Of bills
with various merchants In the city,
among them being accounts with the
plaintiffs in these cases. Under an
assumed name he chartered car,
loaded up his goods and left the state,
going to Kansas.
Points of Law Involved.
Garnishments were issued by JUS
4 tice Berry in the several cases against
the railroad company. but the car was
delivered to it's destination. Later,
these suits were filed. The actions in
volved three rather complicated points
in law. The garnishee claimed that
a garnishment issued by a justice of
the peace in one county is not valid
outside Of the county in which it is
issued. The car was within the state
at the time some of the garnishments
were served and outside of Iowa at the
time Of the service of the others. Also
there was the question as to whether
in acting upon such a garnishment, the
railroad would not be interfering with
interstate commerce, when goods in
question were being transported from
one state to another All Of these
cases were heard at the same time
though they we're not combined.
Certificates allowing appeal to the
supreme court accompany the judg
ments.
Case Tried and Submitted.
The case of e. e. Townsend VS. the
Iowa Business Mems Building and
Loan association, was tried this morn
ling before Judge F. w. Mchelbergel
and submitted to him for decision
l~Ele action is one where the plaintiff

Years of Service-Take Notice of
Fact That No Decision In That
County Has Been Reversed.
Fairfield, Dec. 10 (Special.) -on
the occasion of the adjournment OF
court by Judge Robert Sloan yester-
day afternoon, at which Judge Sloan
was retiring from the bench after
twenty-four years of service, the JEFF
ferson County Bar association met in
the court room and passed resolutions
of regret on the retirement of Judge
Sloan
The judge holds probably the unique
record Of never having decision OF
his reversed by any superior court.
The resolutions are:
I'm the district court of Jefferson
county, Iowa, November term, 1906,
"The members Of the bar of Jeffer-
son county regret that this is to be
the last term of court to be held by
Judge Sloan.
| "He has served the people of Iowa
as circuit and district Judge for "a
years, faithfully and we'll.
"He has administered justice ac-
cording to the law without fear or ia
vor or affection or hope of reward,
equally to the rich and poor.
| Ellis decisions have been courteous
to the lawyers, just to their clients,
and so we'll considered and carefully
based upon the law that none made by
him in this county has ever been re-
|versed.
ut is with pleasure we express our
appreciation of his devoted and sue
cessful performance of the high and
difficult duties of judge, and we re-
specially ask that it be made a part
of the records of the court.
Therefore, be it resolved by the bar
Of Jefferson county. that in the retire
I ment of Judge Sloan at the ripe age Of
i II years, that it is the individual and
collective judgment of this bar that no
more capable or conscientious Judge
; ever graced court room, ruled or de-
i creed in matters criminal or civil, pro-
bate or chancery and that equally in
every sphere Of judicial responsibility
!! and during the longest term of official
trust Of which we have knowledge
: within the state.
Resolved, that "a copy Of these res
olutions be spread upon the records
of this court ss

Buckskin Red Top.

The Red Top mine, of Buck
skin, from present indications is
going to be bonanza. The tun-
mel being run on this property is
now in sixty feet on the ledge,
which is three feet in width with
a well-defined porphyry wall. A
good grade of shipping ore is be-
ing extracted from this ledge, and
a shipment will be made as soon
as sacks can be obtained and ar
rangements made to haul the ore
to the railroad.
A shaft being sunk on this same
property is now down forty-five
feet and is showing up shipping
ore that runs from $40 to $Ioo to
the ton in gold.
1t has been rumored that the
owners of this property had let a
large number of leases, but such
is not the case. However, when
the owners perfect their plan OF
incorporation it is likely that some
leases will be let on this ground.

Nell Completes Run.

The Wilson -four mill at Nor
dyke, in the upper end of the val
ley, has closed down until after
the harvest to come, all the wheat
on hand having been ground. The
company still has some -four in
stock, but it will probably be dis
posed of before the next crop is
harvested and the mill again starts
up. This mill handles all the
wheat grown in this vicinity, and
in the past year for -four, seed
wheat and chicken feed, used $50
tons. This year it is probable that
considerable more wheat will be
raised in this valley-the wheat
acreage has been increasing slight
ly for the past two or three years.
The new Pelton wheel which was
installed last Winter works excel
lently and requires less water to
run it than did the old wheel.
There will be no shortage of wa
ter this year for mill purposes.

Mill Shut Down.

The Dumontell mill, which was
leased by Webster and Kitchens
to work ore from their mine in the
Mount Grant district some months
ago, was closed down the first OF
this week. The boys became
somewhat financially embarrassed
before they could make their ship
ment of concentrates, and turned
their affairs over to Dumontell and
Segal. They had on hand $500
bar of bullion and about twelve
tons of concentrates that will av-
erage about $50 per ton. They
were under considerable expense
and were working the property at
a disadvantage. The mine is a
good piece of property.

Ordered Out.

Complaint having been made to
the Buckskin grievance committee
that one Tom Forrest had been
jumping claims in that district,
Mr.. Forrest was this week sum-
moned before a meeting of the
men of the camp and asked to
make an explanation regarding
his actions in jumping claims. AS
he failed to show that his locations
were good he gave orders to the
committee to take down all the
monuments and stakes that he had
erected on ground previously To-
Gated. This was done by the COM
mittee, and it is understood that
Mr.. Forrest was requested to make
his presence in Buckskin scarce.

An Indian Love Feast.

The fandango and dance a.
Schurz, on the Walker Lake In.
dian Reservation. was the biggest
thing in the way of an Indian eel
ebration that has taken place in
Nevada for several years. 1t
a week ago Wednes-
day and continued a greater part
of this week, the occasion being
the allotment of land by the gov
eminent. Invitations were writ.
ten and sent out by the Piutes
over this and various other States.
The Indians came in numbers
from all parts of Nevada, from
Washoes in the west, to Shoshones
in the east. Also Arraphoes and
Cheyennes from Idaho and In
dams from other States. There
were about 100 visiting Indians,
besides the Piutes of this section.
This valley was, for the time be-
ing, deserted by the Indians, ex-
cepting some of the very old and
a few of the blase. And not since
A. Gifford's historical corner on
the Piute labor market have our
pale sisters been SO reduced to
washing clothes.
