following in Ottawa After great deal OF
drumming end high sounding promises of
court house last Saturday evening drew an au.
dience of not over seventy-fve, of whom "A ma
jority had gone there out of sheer curiosity.
The abscntees, however, were the most fortu-
nate, as they escaped the inhiction of a speech
by Doc Garfield. A club was formed, with
G. S. Griffin, of Farm Ridge, AS president, and
p. ID. Crimmns as secretary. The meeting

into Court, the Sheriff stated that
Churchill was too i'll to appear.
Judge Granger, for the prosecution,
insisted that he should be brought
in, which was done. The prosecu-

nesses from the Court room, and
also that they be kept separate
from each other, at the same time
demanding from the defense a list
of the witnesses whom they had
summoned and intend to summon
in order that they might be placed
under the rule. After resisting this
demand, the counsel for the
defense demanded that the Sec

Gliding the public, reporters and
all, from the Court room. To this
the prosecution agreed, wher eupon
the Court granted the motion. The
counsel for the defense then, on re-

Court adhered and the audience
and reporters were ordered to leave.
