M. F. Tytler, the local assayer,
has plans drawn, specifications
made, and the project is financed
for the erection Of a 20-ton capac-

which is to be erected on "China

come together, and where the
company has bought two squares
Of ground in the Hye addition to
Elk City.
Work is to be started on the
plant early enough to have it
ready to treat ore when the roads
are open in the spring. The
battery will consist Of four
stamps and the cyanide process
will be built along plans now in
use in the latest mill construc-

All ore brought to the mill will
be assayed and bought outright,

Commander Not Liable.

The commander of a military force
upon "riot duty is not subjected to
any liability, civil or criminal, provid-
ed they are acting within the scope
of their authority and under the spe-
a military superior; these facts will
be complete defense to any charge
or suit arising from the said duty,
that may be brought against them.
However, they /must not have acted
wantonly or maliciously, or they will
have rendered themselves liable.
A military officer, during riot duty,
is justified in doing any act by al or
der from a superior officer apparently
within the scope of his authority. =
Fed. Cases No. 8, S22 But this justifl-
cation ceases when the act ordered is,
upon its face. wholly without the
scope of the authority Of the military
officer so ordering or is apparently
wanton or malicious.
The same rule of law may be ap-
piled to the acts of enlisted men act
ing under the orders of military SUI
perior.
The doctrine of respondent superior,
with the nonliability Of the performer,
may be applied.
Military officers are not liable for
unlawful acts of soldiers. done with
out authority and not falling within
fair scope of the orders given them.
The civil and not the military Off
GERS are liable, civilly or criminally,
for the execution by the military of
any unlawful order given by the civil
officer; but if the military officer acts
without the scope of his orders and
commits acts unauthorized by them,
he is then liable. - &c. AM Dec 356.
A military officer is not liable,
though he is enforcing an unconstitu-
tional law, providing he is acting I'M
der the proper authorities.

In commenting on the prospect of
Junkin being taken to Centerville,
the Citizen of that city has the fol-
lowing:
Judge Vermilion of this city, will
have the say as to whether the negro,
John Junkin, held for the murder Of
Clara Rosen of Ottumwa. will be tried.
If he follows the wishes of his con.
stituents in Appanoose county he will
not send the case on change of
venue to Centerville
The general sentiment here seems to
be that the Appanoose county district
court has already about as much bust
ness as it can handle. and while the
Junkin case would not cost the coun.
ty anything, there is the danger of
riot and disorder which is not pleas
ant to contemplate. Centerville is not
conveniently located to be easily
reached by rail from Ottumwa
On the other hand, there are other
counties where the court business is
lighter and the case would not be in,
convenient to the court. Jefferson
county is considered as being the
most suitable place to try the negro
