CLEANING DAY
 IN FEDERAL COURT
Old Cases Ire Stricken From t"e Records By Judge Trieber-Hot Springs Cases To Be Heard
 This Term.

Little Rock, April 5.-Judge Jacob Trieber had a great cleaning day III the United States Circuit court yes terday afternoon, cutting off many cases which have been on the docket there for years. One of the cases he dismissed had been on the court docket for r years. A half dozen had been there for ten years or more, carried along from term to term by the request of attorneys.
 Many cases were set for trial dlr- ing the present term of court, prom inent among them being the suit of Count Mourick de Beaufort, and his wife, Countess Irma, vs. Samuel c. Watt ct al.
 These two cases are against al- leged gamblers of Hot Springs who operated the Southern Club at Hot Springs.
 The Count is suing for $2O,0O0 for the alleged unlawful detainer of his baggage, seized by officers to insure the payment of gambling debt.
 The Countess sues for like amount. The cases are set for trial for April 26.
 A number of injunction suits against the Arkansas Railroad Com- mission were dismissed because the short lines have since been absorbed by the Iron Mountain, which is fight ing the rate cases on a big scale. One case dismissed was that of the Jones' boro, Lake City and Eastern vs. J w. Crockett, who was at the time chair man of the Commission. This rail- road asked for an injunction against the enforcement of the Commission tariff, but when the case came ip for hearing the railroad had ID showing, it being shown in court that the rairload had agreed to the rates.
