lature alone having power to remove
an elective Judge.
Two points in the situation seem to
lead toward the belief that j. Q. b.
Hebbard Will continue to occupy mis-
place on the Superior bench. The one
is that when he became a Judge he
ceased to be practitioner at bar and
then passed from the Supreme Courts $
power to disbar him as practicing
attorney; the other that the Legisla-
ture is to adjourn on Tuesday next
and being Ruefish in the first place and
busy in the second, 1t will not have
the time nor the inclination to take up
the case of Hebbard on impeachment.
In this instance-the charges behind
1.-THE case is without precedence in
the local Jurisprudence. The Legisla-
ture failed to impeach the cases of
Santa Cruz and San Diego judge after
having heard the evidence, and now
there is no time left to hear the evil
dence in the case of the San Francisco
jurist who has made himself disliked.
The Bar Association has judicial
body of its own-the grievance COM
mittee. J. c. McKinstry is chairman,
and a half score other prominent at
torneyS are members. If a complaint in
writing is made to them they have the
power to conduct an investigation
which takes on the nature Of a trial.
They always give the accused right
to be heard and Judge Hebbard being
a member of the association would have
had the right to appear had charge
been made Doubtless the testimony of
Francis ]. sIeey would have been val
liable in suDh a hearing. But as no
complaint has been filed with the grlev-
ance committee the whole question will
be thrashed out in tomorrow night s
regular meeting and recommendation
will doubtless follow. The attorneys
have been "canvassed in an interroga-
tory way" but no consensus of opin-
ion has developed" at least for publi-
cation. There is, however, a rumor
that the association. Notwithstanding
the lateness of the day. will recommend
that the Legislature begin the impeach-
ment of Superior Judge j. C. B. Heb
bard.

Superior Judge J. c. B. Hebbard was
at his place in court at the usual time
yesterday morning and in a fearful
tone asked the attorneys present If
they believed what had been published
in the morning papers regarding his
condition on the night previous. when
he had attacked several persons and
been elected from the Majestic Hotel
for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct. The attorneys who had cases be-
fore the court were likely candidates
for a love feast ceremonial The court

slow. uncertain voice. not entirely free
from the twisting effects of the alcohol
absorbed on the night previous.

10 wake up in the morning. after many
years OF public service, and find his
reputation shattered by newspapers. I
hope that the members of the bar will
not think III Of me in the face Of what
has been published"
Hugh Jones, an attorney who fed the
city two years ago after he had been
accused OF looting an estate and rob
biDg an aged woman, was the first legal
figure to champion the cause OF the
maudlin Judge Hebbard. He said. in a
spirit OF fellow suffering, that he con-
sidered the attacks" of the news
papers TO be greatly deplored. Hugh
O'Neil, an attorney who has been ac-
cused Of employing peculiar legal tao
tics in behalf of some of his Chinese
clients. said that the newspapers
seemed to take a delight in attack
ing" Judge Hebbard. Why he could
not understand, for the court there
present was one of the ablest on the
bench.

by the absconding of Ruef from Judge

NEW p. o. FIXTURES.

Last week Mr.. Guy 7. Gould of Chi
cago. assistant superintendent of Salary
and Allowance Division of the National
Post Office Department, was in Alma
and inspected the present postoffice fix
lures and building. AS result of his
investigation the fixtures now in use
were condemned and Postmaster Brown
instructed to select an entire new outfit
Mr.. Gould also inspected FIVE locations
which are being considered for the loca-
tion of the Office when free delivery is
established, and requested bids for ten
years lease from the various owners with
the understanding that one of the FIVE
would secure the postoffice, bids being
satisfactory to the Government.
Postmaster Brown informs the RECORD
that when the changes contemplated are
completed Alma will have a post Office
with fixtures second TO none in any city
of twice the size of Alma in this or any
other state. Mr.. Brown is taking great
pride in this matter and our citizens may

FIREMAN JOHNSON KILLED.
Baggage Car Thrown Off Right of way
All Coaches Leave Track-N0
Passengers Injured.

Last Saturday night The p. M. train,
No. SO, going west, ran into washout
SO rods east of Riverdale, instantly killing
the fireman, Coval Johnson, and conf
pletely demolishing the engine.
Heavy rains had undermined the track
at point where the higher land slopes
down to the river flats and as the train
struck the washout at curve i'll the road
the rail on the right side broke ana the
engine left the track, plowing down the
ditch for distance of 200 feet before
turning turtle The baggage car laid on
its side in the cedar swamp, completely
off the right of way, and how the mail
clerk and baggageman escaped with their
lives is a mystery TO everyone, themselves
included, as there was score or more
trunks in the coach at the time.
Johnson. the fireman who was killed,
was % years of age and leaves a widow
and one young child, who reside in Grand
Rapids. His body was taken from under
meath the engine about 100 O'Clock p.
M. Sunday and taken TO Edmore, where
his parents reside
Bradley, the engineer, escaped in mir
aculous manner with only few bruises.
When the engine went over on its side,
he was thrown between the front drivers
and the cylinder, there being just space
enough to protect him. The passengers
escaped injury.
Work on repairing the track and pick
ing up the derailed cars was necessarily
slow on account of the terrible storm
raging at the time, but the track was in
shape Monday morning so that the regu-
lar trains passed. over. The wrecked train
was in charge of conductor Clair Powell
A special train was sent from Saginaw
to the scene of the wreck and the pas
sengers from the east bound train trans
fered and taken to Saginaw.

claims that the building was struck by
lightning while the officers of the in

that the building was felled by the heavy
wind, no signs OF an electric stroke being
evident. No committee of arbitration

scholarship to Oxford university. Fif-
teen students are taking the examina-
tons. The papers are sent to Oxford

in addition to DIR. Angel, of President
Dickie of Albion college and President
Slocum of Kalamazoo college, select the

COLLEGE NOTES.

Clarence Defoe visited friends in Mt.
Pleasant the last of the week.
Miss Irene Barns is now on the sick list
because Of an attack of appendicitis
Her many friends anxiously await a
speedy recovery.
Between the hours of nine and ten
O'Clock great commotion was aroused
in the third floor corridor of Pioneer Hall
last Thursday evening. For some time
previous, few of the fellows allowed
their surplus energies effervecse in dis
turbances of various kinds. The more
dignified and solemn members of the hall
thought il unwise and forthwith attempt
ed to punish their wayward neighbors,
but seemingly they didn't get any fur
ther. For few minutes trough house"
was enjoyed by those concerned, but
ended amicably. No one was tubbed but
perhaps this event may be the forerunner
Of livlier nights to come.
On this same evening some of our dar-
ing laddies braved the darkness of the
chapel, hung up clothes line and deco
rated it with various garments found in
Wright Hall. Fortunately it was dis
covered before chapel time the next
morning and relieved of its burden.
Friday evening was most delightfully."-
spent by twenty of the young people who
walked out TO the home of Mr.. Murphy s
for spread. The weather was favorable
and the refreshments were fine. Every
one present felt especially favored.
Miss Bessie Kellogg also entertained
another party of young people. They
were taken out to her home in load,
and from start to finish merriment reigned
supreme. A candy phil was participated
in.by all and many jokes were played.
Seemingly everyone had such a good
time that they were tired out laughing.
Such seldom treat is fully appreciated
and long remembered by dormtory
people.
Plans have been recently made for a
mixed company of seven students TO
represent our conservatory at Caro- and
perhaps at Cass City, under the auspices
of the High School classes of o7. The
entertainment will be given sometime
during the last week of February or Ist
of March. If this attempt proves sue
cessful, others will be undertaken during
the year.
Messrs. Maynard, Cook and Herman
Morse returned Saturday from Ann Arbor
where they took the examination for a
Rhodes scholarship. The test is reported
very reasonable. Returns from the ex-
animation will not be received perhaps
for month, but we are in hopes that
they will be highly in our favor.

A LONG TALE WITH
OUT ANY ENDING

Frank Harvey thinks the employ eei
OF the Road Department ought to be
paid every week instead of every
month. lie advanced the idea at III"
meeting OF the Board Of Supervisors
last night. lie also suggested that ar
rangemcntg be- made for paying IN"
members of the Police Department
twice a month
The latter suggestion was inconli-
Ecntly squelched by Chairman Hust-
ace, who stated cmphatically that IN"
police department Is. according To Jaw
paid once a month. and will continue
To be 80 paid.
Harvey's idea regarding the road
men aroused No enthusiasm except III

strongly. When the chairman re-
marked that its adoption would mean
. meeting Of the Supervisors once 4
week, there developed Il sudden int
Iulsc to sit on Haryey's suggestion
Archer said II that was adopted, the
Board ought Ia appropriate Few dol

Harvey and Fern refused Ia be
,quelched so easily and insisted on tn,
adoption Of the suggestion. They
thought the road men ought To gel
their money as soon as possible after
they earned II.
