EXPEDITIONS PRocE.
DURE IN ENGLAND


Some idea of the admirable way in
which litigious work is disposed of in
the English courts may be gathered
from the fact that at the middle of
July last there were only 1856 jury ac-
lions awaiting trial OF these more
than half had been set down for trial
since June l, and less than twenty
five were of older date on the calendar
than May 1. In fact, the CELEBRITY with
which business is dispatched is so
great that solicitors shrink from set
ting their cases down for trial until
they are absolutely ready to go into
the trial. According to the English
practice the solicitor for the plaintiff
or for the defendant may set case
down for trial within ten days from
the time when the issue is joined by
the pleadings. If the case is thus en-
tered it must be proceeded with, un.
less for a substantially good reason the
court consents to have it delayed. No
such excuse as the mutual inconveni-
enCe or engagements of counsel would
suffice to procure a continuance to the

the region was visited with the Sc
verest snow-storm of the season. Here
we were detained five days, waiting
for the Arabia, which, on her VOYAGE
from England, had met with much bad
weather and was somewhat behind
her time. Meanwhile our consul, Mr..
jackson, and family, becoming ac-
quainted with our case, sought us ont.

The deck stewards went about
explaining and as they explained

RAILROAD INTO
EUREKA THIS YEAR

From the many railroad rumors
that have been floating around
Eureka during the week, tcday's
Sentinel will no doubt be looked
to for some definite news regard
ing the time the work of rebuild
ing the Eureka & Palisade Rail-
road will be commenced We are
sorry to say that this has not been
obtainable
Friday afternoon the Sentinel
interviewed S G Dye, agent of the
E. & p. in Eureka, and he in
formed us that he had nothing in
the way of news to offer; also that
during the forenoon he had been in
communication over the telephone
with Superintendent Randolph at
Palisade, who had stated to him
that there was nothing new in
regard to E. & p. railroad mat
ters at that end of the line.
During the week the Sentinel
learned from a party, who refused
to be quoted, but whose informa-
ton we believe to be most reliable.
that the rebuilding of the Eureka
K Plaisade Railroad had been
definitely decided upon. and that
without doubt the road would be
completed into Eureka during this
year. He thought that after the
first of mex month it would not
be long before some action look
ing to the rebuilding of the rail-
road would be taken, but further
than this he refused 10 go.
While the uncertainty of the
situation is most disheartening,
the statement from what the
Sentinel believes to be a reliable
source that the railroad will be
rebuilt into Eureka during the
present year is encouraging, and
the best news Eureka has received

bugs at SHELTON that should be IN

ago they vented their spite on Mr..
Ed. Carvills by burning five stacks
of hay and last night two barns.
one nearly new that cost $1,000,
and a stack of hay were set on
fire and destroyed.
The fire was discovered be tween
~ and o'clock. At 1870, this
morning Mr.. Carville was called
up on the telephone and informed
of the fire. He summoned Sheriff
Harris and about 2:S0 the sheriff
Mr.. Carville and Ted left for the
scene of the fire in Mr.. Boyce's
automobile. They reached there
about sunrise and began an in
vestigation.
From the repor S we learn that
Two or three saddle horses were
shut in the barn by the party or
parties that started the fire.
These horses run in the corral at
night and the door of the barn is
left open for them to 60 in and
out. When the fire was discovered
last night the horses were found
in the barh and the door was
fastened on the outside. The door
was left open as usual last night by
the men on the ranch. The
horses, two or three sets Of
harness and several saddles were
taken out of the barn without
injury. A little pup in one Of the
barns was burned. A pig pen and
chicken house were connected with
one of the barns. The fire did not
reach them and the pigs and
chickens we're saved. Tho loss
will reach 50. 500.
The fire was discovered 10y Mrs.
White who was awakened by the
dogs at the ranch making a big
fuss. She got up and while stand.
ing on the porch the flames dartcd
up from the barn.
Mr.. Carville is at a loss to
account for the burning of his
property. He lived in Mound
valley about forty years and had
no enemies so far as he knows.
Mr.. White who has the ranch
leased is said to be n very quiet
man who attends to his Own
business and has no cnemie.
