Judgo Gordon put on his coat.

he p?cd out of tho gate.
"Silence! I havo adjourned court!"
shouted Judge Uerkn. "Court is adjourned
until 2 o'clock this afternoon!'
The officers were clearing the court room.
Kvcryone was hustled Into the corridor,
after which the doors of tho room were
securely locked.
"We don't want Judge Gordon coming In
here and stealing a march on us by holding
court while we're gone to dinner," was
their explanation.
The prisoner shambled out of tho pollco
station to the street, as his former bond
held good.
"I'd like to know what I'm to de now,"
ho said. "I novor silw such a disgraceful
proceeding in my life."
Ilrrkn KprliiKft a Surprises.
Judgo Derkn took Judgo Gordon by sur
prise by swooping down on his preserves
two days before ho was expected. January
! Is tho day the new county officers assume
ofllce, but Judgo llerka saw fit to ho fore
handed nnd act while tho enemy least sus
pected it. He was on tho bench nt 7
o'clock yrflterdny morning. Tho usual grist of
drunks and vagrants was brought up and
one by ono the mnlfactors wero arraigned
beforo the new magistrate. Nino of them
were discharged and one was sentenced to
ono day In tho county Jnll, Two hours
later Judgo Gordon nppcared. He soemed
surprised when he saw Judgo llerka on tho
bench, but was going behind tho big desk
to assume his wonted place when tho court
officer arbpped him.
"You can,'t go up there," ho said. "Court's
In session."
Then Judgo Oordon took n seat besldo the
Judge's bench, pulled a tablo In front of
him and waited until It waa time to begin
tho Macon hearing.
A fow mlnutos later Attorney J. W. Eller,
Gordon's counsel, dropped in and was fol
lowed soon by Arthur Oordon, both having
boon notified by telephono of the Impending
clash. They held a whinnered consultation.
"I don't know what we'll do," said At
torney Eller nftcr tho court room had been
cleared, "becauso I don't know what the
other side will do. We havo decided only
upon ono point. We will write Icttern to
tho mayor, tho members of the city council
nnd tho lire and pollco commissioners, call
ing their nttentlon to tho tumult thnt was
In pollco court this morning and nsklng
them to Instruct tho pollco to prosorvo
order. If they disregard our reaucst. then
wo will do something clso."
'Ho wna neked If thcro waa n probability
of deputy sheriffs being present to enforce
Judgo Qordon's rullnga.
"Thcro Is a possibility of such n thing."
was his reply.
At 2 yesterday nftornoon Judgo llerka
opened court nnd proceeded with tho bus
iness in hand. A few minutes later Judge
Gordon appeared at tho door of tho court
room, whero ho was stopped by Officer Dan
Davla.
'Do you want to go in thero as a private
citizen, or ns Judgo of tho court?" naked
tho officer.
'Unless I resign," answered Gordon, "I
can't 'go in as anything but the Judge ot
tho police court."
"Well, then, you'll stay out."
At last accounts Gordon was occupying a
chair outside the door to tho court room,
closely guarded by pmcer Davis.

'It rcrafndB mo of one time down In
Kansas City," said Tim Ormsby, as he filled
the plpo tho desk sergeant had given him
for a Christmas present. "They's a

"Wall, thoro you are! What was they

SPECTACULAR SCENE OF RIENTAL POMP
ontplcte Absence of Trndltlonnl Uel-
floutlon of Chlncae Itoynttr Is tho
Co ram an dinar Frntnrc of the
Memorial Kvcnt,
PBKIN', Jan. 7. Tho re-entranco of the
Chinese emperor into Pekln today was tho
most romarkablo episode In the annals ot tho
dynasty, save tho flight of tho Chlneso
court when Pekln was bombarded by the
allied forces.
The spectacular phases ot tho return ot
tho court exceeded expectations. Tho cor
tege was a sort of glorified lord mayor's
how nnd was a bewildering barbaric ex
hibition of the Oriental tinseled splendor.
Its chief significance was tho complete
ffaccmcnt of tho traditional deification of
Chinese royalty. Foreigners wero given
greater facilities of witnessing tho cere
monial than would havo been afforded them
at most European courts.
The sccno at the Chlcn gnto when the
mperor and tho dowager empress entered
wns nothing less than revolutionary when
towed In the light of all Chlneso customs.
Tho horseshuo wall forming tho ancient
gato waa crowded with Europeans, diplo
mats, army officers, missionaries, women,
photographers and correspondents.
Arrlvlntr of MnJrutlm.
Whon tho emperor and dowager empress
rrlvcd at tho templo tho procession halted
nnd their majesties alighted from the chairs
hlch wore covered with Imperial yollow
Itk nnd lined with sable.
Tho emperor proceeded to tho temple of
tho god of war on tho west sldo ot the
plaza, with hundreds ot foreigners peering
own only forty feet abovo him, and doz
ens ot cameras wero focused upon tho
eon of heaven." When ho roturnod his
chair was borno through tho gnto. Tho
dowager empress was brought to tho door.
w,ay of the templo of tho gods of mercy on
tho east sldo ot tho plaza and the dowager
mpress appeared. Amidst a great scuttl
ing of attendants sho proceeded In the
templo on tho arms of wo officials, fol-
oweu ny n company or iiuuaiiist priests
bearing offerings.
The spectators then heard tho booming of
tho templo bell.
Aftor nn Interval of five minutes the
dowagor empress reappeared. Standing In
tho doorway of tho templo sho looked up
ward. Directly overhead wero tho Gorman
minister. Dr. Mumm von Schwartzcnstctn,
tho secretaries of the German legation, tho
officers nnd women from tho American gar
rison nnd tho two correspondents of tho
Asoclntcd Press.
Uniirm How to I'arrlgnrrii,
Tho dowager empress saw tho foreigners
nnd bowed low. Sho advanced a few steps
and bowed again In acknowledgment ot the
snlutatlons ot tho foreigners. Sho returned
to her chair looking upward to tho aeml-
circle ot foreign faces, and bowed repeat-
cdlv.
In the mcantlmo tho Chinese soldiers,
Manchu banncrmcn nnd minor officials who
bad crowded the plaza wero reverently
kneeling. Tho two arches at tho side ot tho
nclcnt gateway framed hundreds ot faces
f Chlneso coollos, who, emboldened by the
presenco of tho foreigners, ventured to
gaze upon their rulers. This Incident con-
tltutcd a sharp contrast with tho old rci
glmo, when nolther diplomats nor natives
wore permitted to view the passago of royal
personages nlong tho streets.
Tho expression of the dowager empress
seemed almost appealing as she faced thoso
who had humbled her and brought her
down from her former arrogance, and this
confirmed the Impression that sho Is re
turning to Pekln with anxiety for her safety.
I'lnnn for the Hp-Entry.
The streets from tho Machlapo station
to the gateway ot the forblddon city, n
dlstanco of four miles, woro Bwopt and gar
nished early thla morning. Tho great plaza
between the Temples of Heaven and Agrl
culturo wero sprinkled with yellow Band.
Hesldents were compelled to remain In
doors. Tho soldiers and pollco formed a
close cordon along both Bides of this entire
dlstanco. A sharp wind, bringing snnd
from tho Mongolian desert, blinded tho
spectators. Tho special train bearing the
emperor and empress dowagor, composed of
twenty-two cars, was preceded by a pilot
englno nnd arrived here shortly after noon
Tho engine and tho cmporer'a enrs had
bocn decorated with yellow silk dragons
by the IlrlMsh railroad offlccrs. Two com
paniea of Chinese cavalry mounted on wnuo
horses, ai.d two companios astrme norses
from Australia, wero drawn up at tho
sides of the station.
Two Thousand Notable.
Two thousand officials, princes, viceroys
nnd taotis, in a kaleidoscopic field of silks
and furs, in "which gleamed an occasional
yellow Jacket, wero maased upon the plat
form.
When the emperor appeared tho entlro
assorablago prostrated ltsolt and rcraalnod
kneeling until his maJcBty had taken his
nlaen in his chair. At tho atatlon tho
dowager empress summoned Traffic Man
ager Foley and Superintendent Moffatt ot
tho railroad, tho latter naving anven uio
englno which drow tho special train, and
presented them to tho emperor, wno
thanked them for their services.
The Imperial cavalcade then moved off
at a swift trot, tho Chinese cavalry In tho
lead. Then followed tho great body of of
ficials, riding shaggy Mongolian ponies; tho
Manchu bannermen, the umbrella bearers,
tho Bpeanncn, Ooneral Huaa Shi Kai, In
his newly bestowed yollow Jacket, nnd tho
emperor, with eight bearers carrying his
chair and a guard ot inrantrymon raarcn
lng on either side. Then camo tho em
press dowagor, with an equally conspicu
ous, ontorago; tho latter was followed by
the Iloxor chief and Prlmo Minister Jung
Lu, In a yeltow chair.
Wltiiraa Grand Galaxy.
Tho dowager empress, Prince Chun and
the lesser officials wero carried In yellow
and groon chairs. Whllo their majesties
passed the soldiers lining tho route of the
procession knelt down, holding their guns
at present arms, nnd tho buglers sounded
their Instruments constantly. Although the
streets were kept empty, thousands of Chi
nein crowded the elevations along, the lino
of march, a thing never permitted before,
The soldiers ot tho Atnorlcan garclson
stationed hero witnessed the spectacle from
the parade ground, opposite tho entrance to
the palace. The British garrison, Includ
ing Uh officers, were kept In their quar
ters. This occasioned much lamentation
Tho majority of tho foreign ministers here,
Including tho IlrltUh, Amorlcan, French
and Russian representatives, absented
thomselvea from tho spectacle, but the
ladles of the legations wero entertained
by Chinese officials on balconies along tho
lino of march. It appears that the em
press dowager ordered that ovory courtesy
be extended to tho foreigners at Pokln and
that the efforts to excludo them from wit
nesstng tho passage ot tho Imperial cortege
emanated from local officials.

NKOAUNEi:, Mich., Jan. 7. The most
distressing accident occurring in this
county tor years occurred at the Negaunco
mlno today noon, when, by a cave-In, tho
lives ot thirteen to seventeen mluers aro
thought to havo been lost. Tho cave-In was
nt tho bottom ot tho old shaft. Had It oc
curred halt an hour sooner about 150 men
would havo been killed. Tho names of tho
doad, so far as known, aro:
WILLIAM WILLIAMS, married.
JOHN SULLIVAN, single.
JOHN PASCOK, single.
JOHN l'EAUCK, married.
JACOB HUNLALLA, married.
Thus far but ono body hns been taken
out, that of Hunlalla. Hundreds of men
are at tho mine, eager to help In tho work
of rescue, but It Is thought tho other
bodies cannot bo reached beforo twenty-
four hours. John Pasco was rescued allvo
and described tho wrecked mlno as follows:
Wo wero sitting around tho pump at
tho bottom of tho shaft when, without nny
warning, thousands ot tons of ore camo
down. I remembered no moro until I
henrd the sound of picks and shovols In
tho hnnds of rescuers and their shouts, and
I was in total darkness nnd my feelings
cannot bo described. What socmcd nges to
mo wns but minutes. When found I was
sevcnty-flvo feot from the place where I
was sitting nnd found mysolf In a drift.
How I got thero Is a mystery, but can only
bo nccountcd for by tho concussion of the
wind."
Tho Negnuneo mlno Is one of tho most
unlucky properties In tho Lako Superior
district. Much trouble In sinking and
drifting has resulted from surplus water
nnd quicksands. It was at this mlno that
$1,000,000 was recently expended to sink a
shaft to tho ledge.
Shaft Clinked with Delirl.
From tho condition of tho shaft It would
seem that tho men aro surrounded by a
mass of dirt nnd broken timber. Tho lower
end of tho shaft l so badly twisted that tho
cago will not operato within 100 feet of
whoro tho men aro entombed. A dull roar
and tho crashing of timbers gavo to the
men on the aurfaco tbo first intimation ot
tho disaster below. A rush was mado for
thn shaft and when all had quieted down
flttcon volunteers under Captain Jnmcs
Plpor descendod In tho cage In nn attempt
to rescue It was found, however, that tho
shaft was badly damaged, It being Impossi
ble to get within eighty feet of tbo level
In which tho mon were hurled.
Crle for help wero heard at tho lowest
point reached and tho removal ot tho tim
bers which blocked tho wny found a man
who shortly beforo tbo cave-In had startod
for the surface. Ho was uninjured, but
wns drenched to tho skin and suffering
greatly with cold.
Urperate Work of lleacne.
Tho man could throw no light on tho
fato of his associates, the majority of whom
aro thought to be Italians and Flnlanders.
Tho steam pipes lending to tho underground
pumps wore so damaged that It would bo
ImpoHslblo to operate tho pumpa If It were
possible to reach them, nnd tho mlno is
the wetest In tho Iron country.
Tonight tho force of mechanics employed
at the various mines of tho steel company
are getting other pumps ready for opera
tion, but it Is problematical whothor theso
can be put Into commission soon enough to
prevent tho water from flooding tho mine.
A big forco of rescuers working In relays
Is making efforts to reach tho damaged
level beforo the water reaches It.
It tho workmen aro not roscued within
tho next ten or twolve hours all hope of
getting them out alive will be abandoned.
Tho mine officials would not make a state
ment tor publication as to tho condition ot
the mine, nor tho number ot men under
ground. In fact, they will not be ablo to
toll until all the other workmen In tho level
report at the ofllce. It Is assumed this will
bo done tomorrow.
