ure cases and In hearings in chambers.
The Judges are all back from their va

return from Denver this week, ready
for the work of the fall term, which will
be one of unusual interest, though it is
the lightest recorded in several years.
The civil calendar was closed yesterday
with about /, 100 cases. The court work
and the work in the clerks Office was
never before so well III hand at the be-
ginning of a term as iG is at present.
The old cases of long standing are few,
as many decisions have been filed
since the new judges were appointed.
There are several cases of interest on
the civil calendar. The action to fore
close the mortgage on the st. Louis
road, and the action to determine the

Manitoba roads are among the number
The supreme court has ordered new
trial in the notorious HoSford will case.
This will also be on for hearing.
The grand jury meets Sept. 10. They
will probably find indictments enough
to keep Judge Booker busy for several
weeks. The noted forgery case of
j. Frank COLON is the case of
prime Importance, and three others
memo. G. Klemm,J. Colleran and Alex
ander Freemen, will also be tried for
forgery. Of course Reddy Hackett is

complete without him. Bertha Len
mock, charged with infanticide, and Ed

salacious evidence. Among the con-
tinued criminal cases are those of Col.
Tanner, indicted for gambling; Andrew
Nelson, assault; Theodore Shotwell, EN-
beZzlement, and W. w. Erwin, criminal
libel. l.. NJ. Stewards thirteen cases

tried separately, although motion has
been made for a consolidation. The
GLOBE has three cases, the Pioneer

sides these there is the Maben-Smith
libel suit, which will be holly contested.
