said: "I see that they aro having quite

A llttlo flurry ot excitement was caused
In pollco court yesterday by Judge Gor
don's "doubling back" ifter having left tho
station
Ho sat in tho upper hallway during the
greater paVt of the forenoon, guarded as
usual by Officer Davis and presiding over
a court that wasn't oven a kangaroo court.
It might perhaps bo called a cockroach
court, since cockroachu, ants, waterbugs
and an occasional mouse were tho only
malefactors to appear before him. At 10:30
he notified these Insects and rodents that
court would be continued until 9 o'clock to
morrow morning, when they wero to be on
hand with their witnesses. He then thanked
Officer Davis for his attentions and walked
down stairs to the street. P
A moment later a stentorian voice ,wak
heard shouting up the, staircase: ','Wktcfa
out up therel Gordon's coming baaltt" .
Mcanwhllo Officer Davis had kfls post
as guard. Court officers and tMMHhmti ran

plain sight, had turned in from tho street
and was climbing tho outer steps. Captain
Hayes was notified.
"Is Davis up thero?" he colled.
"Not Can't And him!" was the answer,
"Well, then, put Sergeant Whelan on
guard at the door!"
Judge Gordon, smiling and bowing so
rencly to the officers as ho passed, climbed
the stairs to his wlckcr-hottomcd dais on
tho upper landing. He reached underneath
and drew out a pair ot rubber overshoes
"It's most too warm for these," he re
marked, "but I don't like to leave them off
for fear I'll catch cold. I'm always forget
ting them."
The shoes donned, his deposed honor
again withdrew, and Sergeant Whelan went
to a window and watched him until he had
passed out ot sight. Then the Jail crew
breathed freely.
While this was going on Judge Berka was
holding court In tho court room. Peto
Nlckolson was fined $3 and costs for being
drunk and disorderly and Blrdlo Martin was
assessed a similar amount for soliciting on
ths street. Charles O'Ncll paid 1 and
costs for the privilege ot getting drunk.
Attorney Eller, Judgo Gordon's counsel,
mado his debut as a police court lawyer
Tuesday afternoon by appearing In behalf
ot Bud Weatherford, charged with disturb
ing the peace by fighting. Qt course every
body thought that Kller's new role was but
a ruse to got a poko at Pollco Judge Berka,
and such Is Droved to be. '
Bolng arraigned, Weatherford pleadod not
guilty.
"Well, we'll havo to object to this pro
ceeding," said Attorney Eller, addressing
no one In particular. "In the 'first place,
my client objects to being arrested on a'
warrant signed by Louis Berka. purport
ing to bo pollco Judge, and In tbo second
place ho demands to bo arraigned before
thn rightful pollco Judgo ot tho city of
Omaha, Judgo Gordon. I demand this ot
all tho pollco officers within my hearing
and of all the officers of this court ot
you, Mr. Thomas, ot you, Sergeant Whalen,
ot Officer. Gibbons, Officer Wooldrldge, Mar
tin Shields"
"Make a list ot them!" shouted some
one
Who is Judgo Gordon?" asked another
voice.
"Oh, he's playing horse with Officer Davis
out here In ths hall!"
Judge Berka set the case for hearing
ono week from today, which was another
rude shock to the Ellcr-Gordon plan.
"If that case had come to trial," said
Attorney Eller, "I would havo done my
best to defend WcathorfocL. ' That would
put' Mister Berka In this position: It be
turned him loose It would be a' trlbuto to
my ability as an attorney; if ho fined him
or sent him to Jail it would glvo me a
chance to test In the district court the
validity of his 'claim to tho bench. Now
