CONTEMPT OF COURT.
0verseer Lamb Must Explain Why
Witnesses Were Detained.

The proceedings of Tuesdays ses-
sion Of the superior court were mark
ed by the issuance of a bench war
rant for John A. Lamb. an overseer in
the employ of the Grosvenordale COM
pany. charged with eontemtp of court.
hisA case is set down for trial next
Tuesday morning. H
The issuing of the warrant followed
the failure of witnesses that had been
subpoenaed to appear to testify in
the case of Bido Cello, who was to
be tried on a charge of breach of the
peace. The dozen witnesses wanted
are employed under Overseer' Lamb
and the information that Lamb was
alleged responsible for not allowing
them to come to court resulted in the
bench warrant being issued.
Mr.. Lamb was notified that he was
wanted in court and came down in an
automobile without awaiting the for
mality Of having the warrant served.
The case of Cello is relatively
unimportant one and grew out Of an
assault he made on Demetri George
in the town of Thompson. Cello is
Turk and George a Greek, and race
and religious prejudices were proba-
bly, responsible for the trouble they
became involved in.
The trial of the case was not COM
pleted when Cello pleaded guilty and
was fined 800 and costs, amounting
to an additional $50.
The failure of the witnesses to ar
rive when first wanted delayed the
transacting of business before the
court Attorney Huber d. Card will
defend Mr.. Lamb on Tuesday.
Pepin Fined S25 and Costs.
