Inaamnch aa ou the 28tbof this month another federal grand jury ia to be summoned to investigate land If announced tbat Judge Hant ol Montana will preside over ell pendiug eaaa and. possibly others, the follow, icg interview of attorney Callaban of Baker City, in tbe Journal, who ia well acquainted with Jadge Hunt, will be interesting. Colonel Emmet Callaban, tbe Baker City attorney, who ia here attending legal business, baa known for many yeara Jndge W U Hunt, who will finish tbe land fraud caaea. Tbe at toroey pays a warm tribute to tbe Montana jurist for peraonal integrity and tbe qualitiea that make a great man on tbe bench. An interesting atory ia recalled o! the Jays when money in Montana politica followed lavishly, and multi-millionaires paved with vnM r.h w n K ! thr!r ! ml. if inn "Judge Hunt was on tbe supreme bench of the state at tbe time disbar ment prooitdings against George B Welcome, manager of Senator Clark's senatorial campaign in tbe legislature of 1868," said Colonel Callaban yesterday. "It was at tbat session of the legis lature tbat Senator Whitebouse arose in tbe senate, tmUed 31 f 1 000 billa aloft and aaid tbey bad been tendered bim for bia vote. The investigation following caused tbe attorneya of Ana conda to commence debarment pro ceedings against Mr Weloome. At tbe i time I waa one of Marcus Daly's attor neys, and waa oonneoted with tbe matter. OFFERED (200,000 The wee went before tbe anpreme bench in tegular manner, The ft ienda of Mr. Welcome an1 Heoator Clark were bending every effort to prevent the disbarment ot tbe former. They felt tbey were sate If they could win Judge Hant. While the disbarment proceedings were pending and about tbe time tbat a decision was to be rendered, a prominent pbyaiolan wh o waa a close personal friend , of Jadge Hunt's, drove ap to bis place one afternoon and called him to the gate for a talk. " 'You are a fick man, judge,1 aaid be. Too mast take a trip to Italy or some other country.' " 'Take etuipl aaid iheMr haven't money enough to Portland ia no' of pity : 'I thought yoa were a friend of mine; I thought yoa knew me better than that.' Mr. Weloome waa disbarred immediately following that, aod be remains disbarred until thia day, although I believe tbat every attorney who prosecuted him en-ept myself bae aigned a petition to have bla certificate restored. Possibly 1 would have signed it bad 1 retrained in Montana. GOVERNOR OF PORTO RIOO These facta regarding Judge Hunt were brought oat at tbe bearing of the aeuate committee on privilegea and elections. : The occasion was dramatlo io the extreme. I remember gazing at the strong, clear features of the judge as he testified, and related thia incid ent in hia testimony. The effect was' never to be forgotten. , The capacious room waa crowded with dieting ll.hed men, and as the witness proceeded there was an unbroken quiet that told the Intense fesling of everyone pieseut. : As a result ot tbe restlmony given, and tbe impression made of a man's keen sense ot honor, Judge lluut was later honored witb the appointment of governor ot Porto Rioo. He waa a aiok man, badly overworked and worn ont by his arduoua duties. When be waa offered (200,000 for a vote in favor of keeping Mr. Welcome on the list of attorneya he was in poor health, as be stated. .The act for wbloh he was offered a fortune waa not to influence a judicial decision. The judges ot the supreme court bad it within their absolute discretion to ' disbar Mr. Welcome, or permit bim to remain There would have been no especial criticism attaching to a dedslon one way or tbe other, and certainly it could not have been regarded aa more than an individuals view of the case. FIRM AS ADAM AM hlle he waa aerving aa governor of Porto Rioo, tbe district federal judge ship of Montana waa made vacant by retirement and Judge Hant was ohoaen to fill tbe offioe wbioh be now holda. He la a groat student, on of tbe brightest men on the bench, demooratlo and eaay to reach, bat firm as adamant in the performance of bis duty. Be will meet anyone in tbe most cordial manner, bat it la an error to assume tbat this acquaintance will bring favors when the genial man tab ud bia Judicial dutlee." 4o.atioi Colonel Callaban is a caya the affloe of federal hia petition bajtan 1 PRICE AND QUALITY GUARANTEED.
