Judge Pritchard of the United States

ards interference. So great was the
feeling over the matter that the rail-
road company backed squarely down
and it's agents were punished as the
State law provides. Judge Pritchard
seems to have disappeared from pub
lie view. but he has served good
purpose in calling the attention of the
country to the arbitrary and improp-

eral judges are lending their high Of
