lit I f - SENT TO JAIL AGAIN. Judges Copenhayen and Lyons Recommitted by Judge Philips. Kansas City, Mo., May 10. B. R. F. Copenbaver and George LyoriH, judges of the St. Clair couuty court, were this morniug again committed to the Jackson county jail by Judge Philps of the United States Circuit Court, "until such time as they comply with the writ of mandamus heretofore issued in the case of the Ninth National Bank of New York against St. Clair couuty." Judge Thomas D. Nevitt received the same sentence as his two colleagues, and he will come to Kansas City and give himself up to Marshal Stewart as soon as his wife, who is quite ill, recovers sufficiently for him to leave her. Immediately after the sentence had been imposed court adjourned for the day and Judge Philips re tired to his chambers, where he was met by Judge Copenbaver, and the matter of the St. Clair county bond case was fully discussed. Judge Philips stated that the interview was amicable and very satisfactory. He will make an effort to get the bondholders and the county .judges together in a short time to try to agree upon some basis of settle ment that can be submitted to the voters of the county. Judge Copen baver expressed himself as being willing and anxious to submit auy sort of a reasonable compromise proposition to his constituents. The judges marched off to jail with as much composure as if they were going on a holiday trip instead of to a dreary imprisonment that will probably last for months. "There is nothing for us to do but to go to jail," said Judge Lyons, "we simply would not dare to face our constituents if we consented to make the levy ordered by the court. The feeliug now among St. Clair county people is strongly against any ef fort looking toward a compromise. Governor Stone's message, with which you are familiar, has done more to defeat a satisfactory com promise thau anything else in years. But fcr that message I am satisfied the matter would have been adjust ed ero this. The people were be ginning to come to the conclusion that a compromise should be made wheu the governor's message stirred them up again like a hornet at a camp meeting." A Woman i.'liitreii With Hog Stealing Nevada, Mo., May 10. Mrs. Delia llarkless was arrested here last night charged with stealing bogs nud selling them. This morn ing she was released on a bond of $500. She has been for a loug time a resident of Vernon couuty. and at the date of her alleged crime was liviug with her husband at Sandstone.
