Among the attorneys in attendance
at this term Of court we notice the
the little, keen-eyed Gen. Il. S.
Bragg, Of Oshkosh. His name is
familiar to all as the gallant leader of
the "Iron Brigade, so-called because
Of the many hard battles it fought in
defense of the old flag.

up to look after the interests of the
Superior Publishing Co., in their libel

the Supreme Court no doubt. Messrs.
d. L. Roberts with H. n. Setter, Of
Taylor's Falls, Mimi, appeared for
DR.. Gauvoau, the plaintiff.
The well known and popular G he
Boucke, Of Fond du Lac, put in an
appearance Wednesday morning just
Us happy and smiling as usual, and
Just as strongly Democratic as eyer
In the DAYS of the war he commanded
the 18th Wis Vols, and is an excell-
cnt lawyer, and has amassed a fortune
in the profession !le is somewhat
eccentric in his manner, and even so
far forgot himself once as to talk
christianity at one time, that is, he in
quired ii there we're really any chris
tians at the head of the lake, and
where he could find the Democratic
editor.
II. y. Setter Of Taylor's Falls, is 10
stranger to our people, and he always
receives a hearty welcome when he
comes here. 1t is sand that when
Setter and Boucke are pitted against
each other, the air turns blue, and all
the little imps take TO the galleries so
as not to be stepped on.
J. J. Dick, and J. E. Malone, rep
resented the plaintiffs, and District

OF course our local array Of legal
talent is out in force, and all have
more or less business before the Court.
/ The present indications are, that the
court will continue through at least
