Under the moral reform subjects Mr.
Edwards heartily agreed with the idea OF
more attention to the arts and sciences
and less to the classics, and under the po-

When Judge Nash arrived at II o'clock
the courtroom was crowded. The first
thing be tackled was the grand jury, who
were sworn. Prosecuting Attorney Jones
examined each candidate and found that
there were two citizens from Okanogon
county on the panel to whose service he
objected on the ground that they had not
been properly summoned.
Judge Nash, in eXcusing the men, said
THE attachment OF Okanogon county to
this judicial district seems TO work great
hardship. | am afraid they hardly get
the first cost on their goods
John Haines and w. II. Boyd did not
respond and attachments were issued for
them. o. A. Lance aud w. II. Black were
excused and w. B. Park had not been
summoned. This left sixteen remaining,
and this number the court thought sutfi-
cient to transact business.

George Miller, the murderer of Fred Kohl,
challenged the entire panel They did
not specify any particular ground, and
asked permission to consult with the
prisoner in order to prepare an affidavit.

"But haven't seen the affidavit yet"
explained Mr.. Jones.

Nash, well wait.

the accused stating that he was without
means to employ legal talent. While the
prisoner and lawyers were having con-
ference, the court called all the cases on
the criminal docket and asked each man

have their fate decided by the men In the
box.
Several of them, like Miller, were with
out counsel and Judge Nash assigned
attorneys to defend them. H. E. Allen
will try to convince a jury Of John
Brady's innocence. He is charged with
grand larceny. A similar charge is pend
ing against j. B. McCluskey and the
court requested G. II. Connor to try his
powers in the prisoners be-
