LAW OFFICER IN JAIL.
District Attorney Stidaer Of Denver
Committed for Contempt

Denver.-The News of Sunday
morning says: District Attorney
Stidger spent last night in Jail and
will have to stay there until Monday.
He was arrested at 8 o'clock last night
upon an order signed by District
Judge Frank T. Johnson, charging him
with contempt of court. The order
committed him to the county Jail until
he had paid a fine of $500 into the
court treasury. Sheriff Nisbet served
the order. He was accompanied by
his attorneys, Willis Elliott and Rod
ney j. Bardwell. Before acting he
had asked their advice and was told
by them to serve the order, as the only
safe thing ito do. They reserved their
judgment on its validity.
The district attorney was given a
cot in the warden's quarters in the
basement of the jail. He went to bed
about IL o'clock. After he had been
made fairly comfortable he gave out
the following statement:
Il was taken completely by surprise
when | heard from Judge Johnson's
lips that | was on trial for contempt.
He had given me no intimation that
he had any intention of bringing such
charge against me. | believe the
Whole tnlnS Was llOtnluS more ludu IL
conspiracy to get me before him and
have me testify under oath that | had
purposely transferred cases from his
division to the criminal division of the
District Court.
ITO say that | was surprised when
he informed me that | was fined for
contempt does not explain my feelings.
At the most, any action that | took
was but constructive contempt. l
committed no contempt in his pres
ence or before the court. And in cases
of constructive contempt the accused
| is entitled to due notice and to a trial
by jury. To my mind his action
throughout has been entirely outside
the pale of the law"
The case is the result of an attempt
| by Judge Johnson to enforce the laws
against gambling and Sunday liquor
selling. Persons arrested by direction
| of Judge Johnson, instead of being
| brought before his court, were
taken before Judge Palmer's di-
| vision of the court by District
| Attorney Stidger, where they prac-
tically escaped punishment Mr..
Stidger claims that his action was in
| accordance with ruleu of the court.
while Judge Johnson holds that the
district attorney was guilty of con-
tempt in removing to another division
/ of the court cases originating in his
| division.
The case will no doubt be carried
to the Supreme Court of the State for
a final decision.

Imboden's Offer.

Denver. - Leonard Imboden, con-
victed bank wrecker, now in the
county jail, announced Tuesday that If
the receiver of the Denver Savings
Bank would pay SO or 80 cents on the
dollar, he and J. A. Hill, and others,
whom he declined to name, had In
Denver about $25O,000 in cash, which
he would turn over to the creditors of
the bank to make up the deficit of 10
or Is cents on the dollar. His plan Is
to take over the assets of the Denver
Savings Bank, which are declared by
the receiver to be of no value, and take
a chance on realizing some part OF the
$250,000 which he alleges they are
ready to advance.

Bad Break in Eggs.

Chicago.-The coterie of gentlemen
who blithely bought up millions of doZ-
ems of eggs last fall, expecting to reap
a golden harvest this winter, are fac
ing bankruptcy instead. Because of
the unusually warm weather there has
been no dimnution of the regular sup
ply, and eggs that were bought to cor
ner the supply at IL to 23 cents per
dozen are now drug on the market
at IL to IA cents. Members of the pool
admit they are losing more than a mil
lion dollars month and unless cold
weather comes soon and stops the
hens laying throughout the country
they are facing certain ruin.
