right"

Whether or not an attachment case
or other suit may be filed during the
holidays has been a question that has
puzzled officials and lawyers since
Governor Chamberlain sent forth his
first vacation edict. 1t is a matter
upon which lawyers differ in opinion,
as usual, but the later sentiment
seems to be that the holidays do
not mean that suits may not
be filed, though no court sessions are
allowable except for specified pur-
poses
But whatever the legal aspects of
the matter are an attachment case
has been filed here and others will
now be accepted on the same basis.
The case filed was one by the PEN
dleton Iron works VS.. F. E. Van Du-
sen for the collection of s409. When
the suit was first offered by Lowell
* Winter, attorneys for the plaintiff,
it was refused by County Clerk SAL
ing. But the attorneys had first in
formed themselves rather thoroughly
upon the law and insisted that the
case should be accepted. In addition
ii was urged that the defendant might
leave the state and if a suit could
not be filed a creditor had no re-
course whatever.
Finally, upon the advice of District
Attorney Phelps, the clerk filed the
suit Saturday but according to Mr..
Sailing. it was accepted at the plain
tiff's risk" and also a bond was re-
quired to cover the costs and any
damage that might be sustained.
Having accepted one attachment
case Mr.. Sailing says that others will
be taken on the same basis, though
he is in doubt as to the regularity of
the action and is plainly averse to
any such. business at this time.
Claims Ministerial Act.
Attorney Winter has probably
made the most exhaustive stu,ly of
the holiday question of any lawyer in
the city and he holds that suits may
be filed, the acceptance of the same
by the clerk being a ministerial and
not a judicial act, According to Mr..
Winter the Nebraska statue is the
same as that of Oregon and in the
past the courts have held that papers,
may be filed on holidays.
Rush is Expected.
When the holidays are declared off
there will be a rush of legal business
and attorneys are now planning how
TO be in several places at the same
time. AS soon as the holidays are
off the supreme court will convene
here and circuit court sessions will be
aiken up in several counties. Judge

The above message was received
this morning by G. NJ. Rice, cashier
OF the First National bank, and 1t is
good news, through the fact that II
shows eastern money is now being
sent westward. While the amount
sent is small It shows an improve
ment in the situation for short time
ago It was impossible to secure any
coin whatever from the east, though
the First National recently had
large amount OF currency shipped 1t
from Washington.
That the situation Is gradually
growing better is declared by Mr..
Rice, who says that his bank Is now
In better condition with regards
ready money than 1t was at the be-
ginning OF the furry.
According to Mr.. Rice 1t Is now
possible to realize money, to some
extent. on wheat drafts and this Is
aiding the banks of the inland em-
pire. Also he says that the people,
especially travelling men, have be-
come accustomed to the situation and
are not making the demands they did
at first This is a relief to banking
people who were forced to devote
their time for awhile to explanations.
Yesterday the cash on hand at the
First National made a substantial
gain through deposits from the banks
local customers.
Wheat Is Moving.
Another hopeful feature of the sit
uation as far as this county is con-
cerned is the fact that wheat is now
being rapidly shipped to the seaports
Though no buying has been done for
several weeks wheat shipments have
continued almost as usual and the
grain companies are now getting the
wheat they had already bought on
shipboard. As they dispose of what
they have already purchased they be-
come in position to buy more and as
a result those who have held their
wheat will be given an opportunity
to sell.
That the local market will open
soon and at a good figure is now
predicted. According to one buyer,
the price should be as good as 1t was
when the market closed. providing
the companies can get into shape to
do their normal business. But should
the market open halfway the quo
tations will doubtless be lower than
the ruling prices a few weeks ago

REPLIES TO CRITICISM.
War Department Explains General Me-

Washington, May 10.-Answering
some criticism which followed the
designation of Brigadier General Will
lam S. McCaskey to be major general,
which promotion was made over the
head of Brigadier General Frederick
Funston, the senior brigadier general,
the following statement was issued at
the war department:
Concerning the recent promotion
Of General McCaskey, Notwithstanding
the seniority Of General Funston, Gen
eral Bell, the chief Of staff, said at
the war department that prior to Gen
eral McCaskey's promotion he had
personally received letter from Gen
eral Funston in which he stated that
he had no objection to General NC
Caskey's promotion ahead Of himself,
because of General McCaskey's char
acter as a soldier and his Civil war
record and that he would gladly have
made this statement officially were it
not for the fact that this would be as
Stunning that the war department in
tended to promote him because he was
the senior brigadier general, an as
sumption he did not care to make;
but he desired the chief Of staff to
know his true sentiments on the sub
ject and for that reason wrote per-
sonally about the NATTER

After reviewing briefly the settlement
of the recent. troubled political situa-
tion in Ohio the statement concludes:

politics this fall, SO that the Republic

the full responsibility of putting up

Suit Begun to Set Aside Patents to
VALUABLE Lands.

valuable IanoS.
Denver, May 10.-That a conspiracy
was fostered with the object of wrong
fully obtaining several thousand acres
of valuable timber land from the gov
eminent: that titles were acquired
through false filings by Ineligible en-
trymen and that persons were induced
to settle on the claims and make
mock attempts at cultivation and 9th
er improvements-all violations of the
provisions of the homestead act-are
the chief allegations which form the
basis Of two bills of equity filed in
the federal court here asking to have
set aside patents to land titles held
by the New Mexico Lumber company
and the Pagosa Lumber company.
An Injunction is also asked to re
strain the defendant companies from
further destruction Of the forests
which cover most Of the lands. The
timber properties claimed by the lum-
Der companies are situated in Archul-
eta county and their value is placed
at $4,000. In the complaint the court
is asked to make the different persons
who filed claims on the lands defend
ants in the action. A long list of en-
trymen, who are named as parties to
the alleged fraud, is presented in the

IN EVENT OF ACQUlTTAL.
Trials of Other Miners Leaders May
Be Abandoned. T. .-

Boise, Ida, May 1O.-William D.
Haywood, secretary and treasurer of
the Western Federation of Miners, has
been placed on trial for completely in
the murder at Caldwell, Ida, on Dec.
30, 1905, of former Governor Frank
-Steunenberg- Haywood is one of four
defendants charged with the murder.
The others are Charles B. Meyer,
president Of the federation; George A.
Pettibone, former member of the eX-
cutive committee Of the federation,
and Harry Orchard. The last named
is expected to be the most important
witness for the state against Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone. He is
said to have made confession and
it has been the task Of the prosecution
to endeavor to corroborate this con-
fession wherever possible. The fact
that Haywood's case. is the first called
for trial Is regarded as Indicating that
the prosecuting attorneys believe their
strongest evidence is against the Sec
rotary of the federation. The outcome
of his case will determine the action
to, be taken with regard to Meyer and
PettibOne. Should there be a cOnvic-
ton of Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone
will be called for trial in the order
named. On the other hand, an &C
quittal of Haywood undoubtedly would
mean an abandonment of the cases
against the other accused officers of
the miners organization.
Orchards Trial Will Come Last.
Orchard will not be tried until all
Of the other cases are disposed OF. It
is said that the evidence against him
is so strong that he cannot hope for
other than a conviction of murder in
the first degree regardless of the YER
diets upon the indictments against
Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone. Or
chard, it is said, has been promised
no degree of clemency whatsoever in
giving evidence for the state. Having
admitted his active participation in
the heinous crime of blowing the for

would recover.
Countess Blumberg is the daughter
of Russian nobleman, Count Andre
Blumberg, once member of the privy
council of the czar, who fell under the
displeasure of the crown and was ex-
lied after his immense estates had
been coDffscated.
