mysterious powers in the person Of
George G. Eakins Eakins was seated in
a chair, slumbering serenely, in the
Eagle Gate saloon, Commercial and Sec

one stole up TO him.
Apparently it was the intention of Mar

for he was making numerous gestures.
when Eakns suddenly became conscious
of his presence.

demanded Eakins, rOusing from his leth-
argy.
Il Gala da spee-rets," explained Mar
tinez.
And I'll call on you to get away and
leave me alone" insisted Eakins.
Martinez grabbed his hat and darted
from the saloon PatrOlman Phillips

MANY COMPLICATIONS
IN STOCKAOE CASES
Series of Legal Entanglements Are
Giving the Project the Aspect
of a Farce.

With changes of venue motions for con-
tinuances. filing of demurrers. demands
for jury trials and appeals to higher
courts. the legal status of the stOckade
cases is growing more complicated daily.
The whole project is taking on gradu-
ally the air of a farce. Witnesses are
giving testimony based for the most part
on hearsay. The defense IS demanding
absolute facts Tits between prosecution
and defense are Numerous. Job P. Lyon.
county attorney, is conducting the prose
cuJiOn sggressively. but IS handicapped
by the meager evidence furnished by the
sheriffs force.
These were the latest developments yes
terday. Margaret Smith. convicted last
week by q jury. was sentenced by JUS
tice Hanks TO serve ninety days IN jail.
Notice of appeal was filed Immediately
and a bond Of 800 VIII be furnished for
Nellie Blair was found guilty Of va
grancy. Sentence was deferred until &C
ton is taken in other cases now pend
ing. This was the fourth trial OF the wo-
man on the same charge.

woman. who was found in the same house,

nesses who testified against the Blair
woman viii give their evidence against
Lille johnson.
The case of Bessie Lawton also was
called yesterday morning in Justice
Hanks court. Attorney King, Tor the
defense. filed demurrer. which was
overruled, and a plea OF not guilty was
entered A motion for change of venue
was then made by King. 1t was granted
and the case will be called before JUS
tice Bishop some day this week
Deputy Sheriffs John COrliss and An
drew Smith and 3. c. Palmer. who said
he was an instructor in the Uintah train
ing school, gave testimony against the
Johnson woman. The only point uRon
which they were positive was the fact
that they had seen the woman in a ques-
tiona BILE resort: that they drank and
danced with her. Palmer came in for
a little toasting at the hands of Attorney
King.
Palmer was visibly embarrassed
throughout the examination When he
had finished with him his inQuisitOr in
timated he was unfit for the position he
occupied and declared he would use his
influence to see him removed.

Announcement was made yesterday
afternoon that a reorganization of the
officers and employees of the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company
would be put in effect July 1. The
change which was authorized by the
board Of directors yesterday afternoon,
has been under investigation and study
for several months and involves a re-
distribution of duties that will affect
almost everybody connected with the
company. 1t is not proposed, however
to make any changes in the personnel
as the company believes the plan can
be put in effect with the same employees
it now has.
The new system is what is known as
the "three-cOlumn," or functional"
plan of organization, by which the bust
ness of the company is divided into
three columns" commercial. traffic
and plant, each under a general super
intendent. The cOmpany's business has
been growing away from the old organ
izatiOn as the territory has developed,
and the new regime is expected to Sc
cure greatly increased efficiency. The
plan, although new in this field. has
been tried successfully by several other
Bell telephone companies of the cOun-
try. and it is believed that it will be
success here. The telephone business
divides itself naturally into the three
