 Unable To Attend.

When the executive committee of the national association of railway com missioners. having in hand the matter of an inquiry into the express rates and the express business of the cOun- try. held its initial session in the of fees of the Illinois railway commisson July 27 and 2S. it adjourned to meet again August 15.

not prepare his paper finally until after the proceedings of the next session are in hand. A great many shippers who were unable tO attend the first meeting have expressed a desire to be heard by the committee and the second meet ing is being arranged largely for their convenience It is expected that the next hearing will Illuminate some phases of the questions not brought out in the first session.
 The work of this committee is a very important one in that its findings will not only be filed with the natonal as sciation for the information of all commissioners or others interested but its report will probably be the basis also of recommendations to congress for legislation affecting the express business.

ARRESTED FOR MAKING
 DISH OF CHICKEN BROTH
Big Hearted Bisbeeite Plays Good Sa maritan With Somebody EIse's
 Chicken.

The court of Judge T. Burdick of
 Bisbee. was the scene of a thrilling
 and sensational chicken trial last
 Monday afternoon. when Judge Me
 Cormick, charged with taking a tooth
 some fowl from the coop of John
 Gunderson, was arraigned and tried
 by jury
 The defendant admitted that he
 visited Gunderson's coop and extract
 cd the chicken, but there were "ex-
 ;enuating circumstances that caused
 the jury to bring in verdict of not guilty The trial developed a circum- stance that is not generally known. and that is that the chicken was killed for the purpose of making chicken soup for Red" Cannon, a well-known citizen of Bisbee.
 The circumstances of the case were: Mccormick and Cannon are roomers at Gunderson's house and had been rooming there for several years, in fact so long that they were under the impression that they were almost members of the family Gun derson and family went away re- gently and during their absence Red became ill and was confined his bed Mccormick acted as Reds nurse
 Having that nothing tastes good" appetite, as folks have. Red craved nothing but chicken soup. so. resting under the impression above stated. | he told Mccormick to go out to the | chicken coop. slap a weller leg and | make chicken broth of it, which he | did
 When Gunderson came home the | first thing he saw was the head of | his Once-prized chicken and he i'm | went into a rage McCor- mick and Cannon eXpostulated with | him, all to no effect. and offered to buy him a dozen chickens. Gunder- son. however. mourning his chicken, swore out a warrant against McCor- mick
 During the course of the trial. the attorney for the defense. Fred Sutter, the court dollar and a half in payment for the chicken. but { was not accepted. That was where iundersOn lost his chance to recOup. or the jury found that although Me 1 ,ormick took the chicken in ques- ion, he did not steal it, holding in fleet that chicken soup" was what Red Cannon needed most and the nd justified the means. All ordi- lary rules for obtaining chicken ,roth material were suspended and. Is an emergency measure the chick n coup" was justifiable
 Cannon nObly shouldered the re- for he rape of the coop. There's a lot of difference between 1 stealing a chicken" and taking a hicken for broth purposes when it is leeded to restore one to health. The warrant might lead one to believe hat Gunderson's coop had been visit d in stealth and an inmate abducted IT kidnapped But as the story turn d out on the trial of the case it vas a testimonial to McCormick's oyalty and friendship for his friend Cannon Y
