stable Can serve the InjuRc-
ton on Him.

Justice Of the Peace George Plambeck on
Willard is a rival OF "Shudge' Altstadt In
an effort to maintain the dignity of this
justice court. lie did not. like Little Bis
marck, reverse the supreme court, but he
went almost as far. He issued an injunc-
ton against the county board to prevent 10
from proceeding with some grading 1t was
doing in Willard. The injunction was thS
outcome Of a local fight. One faction
wanted the grading TO be done on one
street, and another faction favored a secs
ond street. To settle the controversy In
court, Justice Plambeck issued the injunc'
ton, including in it's scope Dan Harmon,
the contractor.
But the judicial ukase was rendered null
by the fact the constable was out OF town,
and no officer could be found to serve the
papers on the contractor. While the court
was waiting for the officer to get back to
town, the contractor got busy and did the
work. When the constable showed up.
there was nothing to enjoin, as the street
had already been graded.

REVOLUTION IN PARAGUAY
RumOr of Battle in Streets of Asun-
sion i'm Which Hundred Were
Killed and wounded

BUENCJ AYRES, July 4-The latest ad-
vices from private sources at Formosa, in
the northeastern part of Argentina, say
there has been sanguinary fighting in the
streets of AsunsIun, where a revolution is
said to have broker out recently, and thai
hundred of persons have been killed OF
wounded. Edward c. O'Brien, the United
States minister to Paraguay and Uruguay
and Harry b. Owsley, jr., secretary of
legation, both are in Asunsion.
Communication by telegraph and te!e-
phone with Asunsion has been cut off and
recently there are conflicting rumors Of
a sensational character current here.
In an interview with the Associated
Press tonight DR.. Gondrn, who, with Or.
Lopez Of this city and General Cabellerc
and General Escobar, both former presl,
dents Of Paraguay, is one Of the LEADING
spirits in the revolution in Paraguay, says
the present movement, which was organ
lied over a year ago, is a purely nationa
rising headed by the Colorado party against
a government that has reduced Paraguay
to d condition approaching bankruptcy
with a daily falling off in trade, an in.
c~reasing premium on gold and growing
distress of the population.
The revolution commenced June 80, DR.
Gondra said, with a mutlny OF the frs
regiments of artillery and infantry, which
with the armed transport Llbertad, bonn
barded the police barracks at Asunsion
where a thousand men were quartered.
Or. Gondra added that It was his belle
that the government would be overthrow

eral Escobar will be installed as president

Democratic judicial Convention.

According TO The call issued by Chairman
Wadsworth the democratic convention Of
the Fifteenth judicial district, which will be
held in this city Tuesday, July p, will be
composed OF but thirty-five delegates.
The representation has been figured by
Mr.. Wadsworth that one delegate to every
so votes cast for Claude r.. Porter, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, at the gem
eral election in 1906. On this basis the nine
counties composing the district are entitled
to the following representation in the con-
vention; Audubon, two; Cass, three; Ere
mont, four; Harrison, five; Mills, three;
montgomery, two; Page, four; Pottawatta-
mie, eight; Shelby, four.
Ut 10 date there has been little talk as
TO who is likely 20 be the democratic can
didate and 1t is not likely there will be
any rush for the nomination. The demo
cratic nomination in the Fifteenth judicial
district is more or less an empty honor, as
the district is strongly republican. The
names OF Emmett FINLEY and John p. Organ
Of this city nave been mentioned, but il Is
not known whether either OF them would
accept the nomination.

BOONE, Ia, July S-(special)-The
Desert Flyer is not having such an easy
time in getting across the Iowa pralries as
they thought 1t would when they left Chi

mud a mile and a half west OF Ogden and
the prospects are that the machine will be
further stuck before Omaha is reached.
The big five-ton car left Boone with flying
oolors Wednesday afternoon. Ogden was
reached on short order and the trip on
west was started. Tit Flyer had gone
but a mile when the accident happened.
The road was narrow and the soft mud
permitted the five-ton vehicle to slip off
INTO a beautiful patch of mud and water.
AT first the occupants of the car thought
II had been completely ruined, but later
developments proved that nothing serious
had happened TO it. The car was buried
In soft mud up to the gasoline tank. The
