in the municipal court and bound over
to await their action. When the jury
adjourned last evening there were q
large number of witnesses present who

very much as though they might not

terday morning and most of the cases set
for trial. The three cases against Ezra
w. Aldrich, for receiving stolen prop
erty, were passed during the call, as

for the present. The county attorney
wished to have it set for trial this

attorney for Shotwell. claims that he
will be unable to try the case before the
middle OF January. After the call
of calendar the following parties,

served her plea until this morning.
Eugene A. Bassett, OF private detect
i've fame, was called up to answer to
