FIees From Jurisdiction.
Bradford, it is said, has fed from the
jurisdiction of the court, having obtain.
ed advance information of what was
forthcoming. The whole proceeding
hinges on an alleged attempt by Brad
ford to sell for $4,000 a decision of
the supreme court in the Huddleston

was in touch with what the court was
doing, and had been obtaining advance
information for the railroads. II is I'M

matter at the present time he said
last night when called up by telephone
at his home in Taylorville. The Off

tions. This is ali | can say at present.
but the proceedings and the record will
show all i'll good season.
The disbarment proceedings against
States Attorney Redugh are the result
of his alleged acting as an intermedi-
airy between Bradford and the litigants
with whom Bradford was attempting
to do business. He says that his ac-
ton III the case was in pursuance of
a plan made to trap Bradford. and to
ascertain the truth of his statement
that he could influence litigation and

more successful outcome"

Jim Larson, who arrived in Rampant not very long ago, is of different opin- ion regarding the origin of the Novitno stampede. He believes it was gotten up by parties with goods to sell at Novi- kakit However" he says, "it would be no surprise if something worth while should be found higher up the Novitno. It would not be the first time a fake stampede has led to important discov- cries. Having their outfits there, many will go on up and continue to prospect all winter"
 Mir. Larson says the first work was done in most unpromising place. It Is nothing but an old lake bed, filled in and now devoid of water. Sixty feet down old beaver dams were encountered. Very light colors of gold were found in the sediment, but on bedrock, 100 feet beneath the surface, there was nothing.
 The men on the Novitno, Mir. Larson says, are fine lot of fellows They are workers, and there is no hanging back to see if the other fellow finds anything.
