Geo. Egan Disbarred.

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 10. The
supreme court of this state to-
day handed down it's opinion of
the famous Egan case. The
court disbars him from further
practice in this state. The
court gives the following rea-
sons for it's decision:
That the conduct Of George
w. Egan, after being retained
by Mrs. O'Grady, in advising
her to resist the application for
appointment of a guardian who
should act as council for her in
probate court was "a extraor-
dinary proceedin.ss, since the
establishment Of her mental
capacity would have aided him
greatly in defense of the grave
charge against her.
The claim of Egan that con-
veyances of property were
taken in the nature of security
to her bondsmen is not a valid
lain, /; ;l)vl oJ his subse
quent conduct.
Quoting directly from the
opinion, the case is summed up
as follows:
"The whole conduct of Geo.
w. Egan in the case, not only
shows his unfitness, but shows
that his perception of the duties
and responsibilities Of an at
torney rendered him an unde-
sirable associate of the mem
bers Of a highly honorable pro-
fession, and dangerous for
clients who may seek his aid.
1t has been the aim of the
court to elevate the character
both morally and intellectually

of the members of the bar, and
to maintain the accused longer
would be an injustice to our
selves, to the profession and
the community. Unpleasant,
therefore as is the duty, we
must perform it and strike
from the roll of this court the
name of the accused, and anc-
eel the license heretofore issued
to him."

eating stations for Wyoming

night and where the time of
arrival of trains may be chang

station has been built at Dou g

no longer a convenient location
for the Northwestern to stop
its trains for a meal. Trains
now reach Grim junction at
meal time, but because of the
uncertainty of that station re-
naming an eating place long
the company equipped four
cars as a hotel, and when the

may be moved to another town.
