they ask that the petition ot the creditors
who seek an order of bankruptcy bo dis

A notable departure from established
court methods occurred yesterday when
Judge Scott halted proceedings In the dam-
ngo suit of Mrs. Tcnnlo Richardson against
Jlenry Bans , ualoon keeper , long enough to
read to the jury extractu from The Dee ,
whkb vero nlmply a routine report of tha
trial based on actual happenings :
The language used by Judge Scott In his
rcfcrenco to The Bco and to another Omahii
newspaper cannot bo published for the rca-
Bon that common decency forbids. The oflli
clal court reporter did not take this peculiar
speech , but It will long bo remembered by
those who heard It. Heading between the
lines and stripping the tirade of Us verbiage ,
It was evident to the casual observer that ]
It was a plaint of Judge Scott based on elec
tion returns. "If The BCD had fought mq
n Httla hardei I would have been reelected -
elected and my majority would bo still com
ing , " was In substance ono'of his utter- *
onccs.

Colonel CoilsIle crll e III * Kn-
tertaliiiiient of Mllen' Party In
Game Country.
Colonel William F. Cody of Nebraska
stayed In Omaha yesterday on his way to New
York , where ho will bo engaged In reor
ganizing Buffalo Bill's show for the opening
In Madison Square Garden In April. Colonel
Cody Is much refreshed after a long outing
on his Montana ranch , and Is the picture
of vigorous health. In an after-dinner
humor ho spoke Interestingly regarding his
entertainment of General Miles' party dur
ing the summer. With the commanding
general were his wife and daughter and
Miss Hoyt , his niece. The general's party
was further made up of Dr. Daly of Pitts-
burg , -who 'was ono of bis chief defenders
during the attack made before the beef ln
vcstlgatlng commission , Colonels Black and
Mlchlcr and Major Cooper , the latter having
served with honor In the Porto Rlcan cam
paign. The personal guests of Colonel Cody
were Dr. Jacobus of New York , consulting
physician of a prominent life Insurance
company , and Captain Hcgeman , eon of the
sugar magnate of that name. The women
of the party were the guests of Colonel
Cody's family.
"The party of General Miles went as far
as Red Lodge , Mont. , In Us special train , "
said Colonel Cod."where our wagon train
was In watting. The equipment consisted
of a stage coach , mules and drivers and
wagons for the transfer of baggage. We
then traveled by coach sixty miles north to
Cody , where General Miles and family were
entertained at a ranch I selected for. their
use. The general became attached to the
property and lias slnco purchased It and
ordered It stocked In readiness for his future
visits.
"Tho women then returned to Bllllnga ,
while the other guests packed Into the moun
tains for elk. Wo proceeded with mules
thirty-five miles north to ono of ray upper
ranches and found game In abundance. The
visitors shot all the elk they wanted and
then wo went down to the plains for ante
lope , which wo found very plentiful. Gen
eral Miles was obliged to return before the
other nuilo members of his party , who spent
several weeks hunting In the mountains.
"At Billings the women of General Miles'
family were entertained In an agreeable way.
Prominent women of that city , together with ,
my own family , planned a number of excur
sions which , with other entertainment , con
sumed most , of the visitors' leisure. Ono
particularly Interesting- expedition was to
the Custcr battlefield , where the Seventh
cavalry made Its final stand.
"After my guests had returned cast I
found an accumulation of work , which has
occupied me until this'time. The Irrigating
plant connecting the various Cody ranches
Is being constructed and the ditches are now
completed. My portion of the work has Just
been finished and I am on the way to New
York to reorganize the show , which Is scat
tered all over the world. Agents In Europe
and various parts of America , however , are
rapidly getting the material Into shape. "

Is very painful at times , and necessarily

Dr. Charles Allison , the attending
physician , said this afternoon : "In making
a thorough examination of Mr. Edholm's
wound , I find no positive evidence that he
was shot. The wound Is a puncture icsam-
bllng a bullet hole , but the other symptoms
do not warrant the shooting theory. I shall'
make no further effort to locate the sup
posed bullet , because I do not consider it
necessary. While Mr. Edholm's Injury is
painful , he Is doing nicely today and I ex

within a few days. "
Mr. Edholm still believes ho was shot ,
