A rather peculiar ease was filed in the supreme court this morning. Some time ago the county court of Coos coun ty, after an examination of Charles Sneddon as to his sanity, declared him insane and committed him to the asylum. Sneddon took an appeal to the circuit court, where, after a trial before a jury, he was declared sane. Now comos the state and appeals to the supreme eourt, holding there is no law for an appeal in such cases, and that the decision of the county court is final. It is held that the man should have been sent to the asylum, and that only the authorities there have the power to declare the patient sane and to discharge hime. It is claimed this is the first case of the kind ever aris ing in tho United States.

If Rockefeller complies, . it was stated, federal troops would be kept out of tho coal fields. If he refused or simply fails to act regulars will be used to restore peace and keep order.
