The district court is still occu-
pied with the examination of jurors
to try Florance o. Hay on the
charge of murder.
- At the noon recess about forty
jurors had been questioned and
eleven passed. There were seven
teen names still in the box. Each
side has eight peremptory challenges
and if these are all exercised new
venire of jurors will have to be
issued. The indications all point
toward another venire.

KEEPING TAB ON JARBIOGE

Will Walker, who is spending a
few days in the city and who was
one of the first locators in Jarbidge,
has kept in touch with the new
camp. From the letters that he
has received from his partners up
that way it would appear that there
has been considerable booming and
not great deal of mining. Mr..
Walker states that there are several
very promising prospects in the
district but the district is not any
better than any other where they
have proven the precious metals
abound. He looks for several good
mines being developed as has been
the case in all of the new strike
districts. His gound is considered
inside and he has been made several
offers for it. 1t is likely that he
will go the to camp shortly and
dispose of his holdings. ...
From advice sent to him it would
seem that the edge of the boom has
worn off and the claim owners are
getting down to business. Mr..
Walker expects to leave for Ameri-
can Canyon in few days where he
and his brothers are erecting a mill
to treat cinebar ores that they have
developed.-Carson Appeal.

BROKER HELD ON
 CONTEMPT CHARGE

New Orleans, December 17.-For refus- ing to answer questions put to him by the federal grand jury. which is investi gating alleged irregularities in sugar im- portations at this port. Sidney Salvant, a sugar broker, was haled before Judge Foster today on a charge of contempt. The court gave salvant until Monday to comply with the demands of the grand jury for such information as is in his possession.
 The jurors have asked for the produc- tiop of the books and letter files of the Salvant firm. as well as those of other sugar importers of New Orleans. As indicating the extensiveness of the governments probe into the question of sugar importations, witnesses were sum- moned today who have not been connect ed with the customs service here in iseven or eight years.
 The witnesses beo,Te the grand jury today included John W. Carey, formerly sugar sampler; Alphonse Perkins, an en:poye of the Henderson Sugar Refin- cry; Robert Salvant, a sugar broker ana James Brennan, sugar buyer.
 The grand jury Investigation probably will continue throughout next week.

 To be on the safe side, however, and in order to preclude the raising of an embarrassing question in the court later the majority of the roads decided to file their applications in six months after the the passage by Congress of the amended act regulating commerce. That period expired today.
 Hundreds of applications were received by the commission today, the most not able of which were filed by c. c. Mccain, chairman of the trunk line committee of New York, on behalf of approximately 200 railroads in trunk line territory. The roads include practically all of the lines east of Pittsburg. Fourteen omnibus ap- plications were filed by MT. Mccain, coy- ering all the tariffs on file with the com mission from the roads represented
 Had it been necessary to file a separate application for each individual tariff the work could not have been accumulated by the railroads in two years
 It is not probable that any action upon the applications will be taken by the com mission prior to February F.

In the fall of 1864 Captain McMillan re- .signed and Hickman became captain of the company, which he commanded up to the day of his capture, about two days before the surrender of Gen. eral Lee at Appomattox courthouse.
 rCaptain Hickman was a kind, gen. tle-spirited officer. No subordinate of- ficer or private soldier could lodge a complaint against Captain Hickman for harsh or unjust treatment; his policy was to lead, not to drive. He never said 'go forward but come on boysg follow me- He asked no soldier to go' where he was not willing to lead. Hs was always one of the boys Marion Higgins and I, two ordinary soldiers, ate from the same tin pan and slept un- der the same blanket with Captain Hickman. and the arrangement seemed entirely agreeable with him.
 But. comrades, Captain Hickman has left us. The Great Commander has ordered him to report for duty at the headquarters of the army of the invisi- bies.
