court room in the Capitol building at - M. yes
terday for It's October term. Promptly at the
hour named Chief Justice Gilfillan and ASSOC
ciates Berry and Cornell entered and took their
judicial seats. SO did Clerk Nichols, bringing
with him the official records of the court At
the same time entered some fifty of the leading
lawyers OF the State, filling the little pen, by
courtesy designated the supreme court, to over
flowing. OF coure, in the array of legal talent
congregated, those from st. Paul and Mime
apolis largely predominated, at least in
numbers If not in judicial experience and abil-
1ty. But other localities were well represented
ny Judges Wilson and Barber and Hon. o. B.
Williston, J. G. Mcclure and VIM. ColviI;
Saltwater by Hons. J. N. Castle, Mcclure and
Marsh; Faribault by Hon. Gordon E.. Cole:
Hastings by Mr.. Van Slyck; st. Peter by Chas.
q. Davis. while Judge E. st. Julien Cox was an
interested spectator. Among the legal gentle
men from Minneapolis were Hons. E. NJ. Will
son, VIM. Lochren, Judges Atwater and Brad
ley, and several others. The local bar was
there IN force, but approaching the excessive
modesty OF these gentlemen the reporter omits
their names, for which considerable act he ex
poets the hearty thanks Of each and every one
of the gentlemen.
With the judges in their seats and in their
judicial robes, fguratively speaking; Clerk
Nichols present with the two great record books
OF the court, and the array of legal talent-a
part of whom have been mentioned-in wait
ing, nothing seemed wanting to prevent
the opening of the court in due

knew it and it made him decidedly uncomfort-
able. He had trusted to Minneapolis and Min
neapolls had gone back on him more completely
than the Millers' association are going back on
the poor farmers along the st. Paul & Pacific
road.
The trouble was as to the calendar. calen-
dar Is an essential thing in opening court.
Smith johnson, of Minneapolis, print the
calendar for this court Clark Nichols fur
nished the copy in his usual artistic style sew
eral days ago, but Smith & johnson failed
to put the writing into plain English letters so
the lawyers could read the titles to their cases.
and send it back.
In this emergency the court decided to hear
few motions and take recess. Motions were
heard until o'clock, when recess was taken
until 2 o'clock. At2 o'clock the court recon-
vened, but the missing calendar had not turned
up, so q few motions were heard, and at
O'Clock an adjournment was had to 10 O'Clock
this morning. And Clerk Nichols was mani
testify disconnected. So were the learned Judges,
while some of the advocates who had come up
IRON their rural homes in the expectation of
getting their cases set for trial or otherwise
disposed of, were Disguised. But such is life,
especially that having to do with st. Paul and
Minneapolis.
