BRILL AND KELLY EN- BANG,
Trial OF Criminal Cases Continue
Until Next Thursday-COurtC Gull


ings.
Nothing very startling Jared the Dig
nifty of the district court yesterday,
Judges Brill and Kelly sat upon the
same bench in the morning, the latter
remaining but very short time. Ii
was expected that the criminal cases
which were set for yesterday would be
tried by judge Kelly, but the Judge,
feeling hardly able for the task, post
poned the hearing to next Thursday
morning. A. ID. Warner again ap-
peared in behalf ofClara BlatZ, andasked
that distant day be set for the trial,
because the witnesses being scattered
all over the South, 1t would be impossi-
BILE to get them together before late
in June. The Judge had heard
this story once before and granted a
| continuance. He now thinks that the
trial will be proceeded with about the
| first week in June. Out of venire OF
100 jurors, siXty-twO were present be-
fore Judge Kerr. Of these twenty de-
sired to he excused for all sorts OF rea-
| sons, from engagements to attend acct
dents at home to whitewashing the
children for the summer. Casper
Schat alleged that he was going in his
hundredth year-being seventy-so the
judge excused him without further in
quiry: 1t is very hard to get natural
born jurors just now. The season has
declared that he had been living out OF
this hospitable country for eight years
and had never been guilty of casting a
vote or taking out his naturalization
papers, the judge jumping at the OPP
portunity to reward such patriotism,
excused him from sharing the honors
| of an American citizen. Several others
were excused, because they showed
signs of knowing thing or two.

SUING FOR BACK SALARY.
In the probate court Mrs. Elizabeth
Scott. wife of l.. N. Scott, and formerly
the wife of Charles Haines, deceased,
has for long time had pending claim
against the Davidson estate amounting
to s1,576.SS for services her first hus-
hn, ff,H n1n
while manager of the Grand opera
house in 1854. The estate has SO far
refused to acknowledge the claim, and
while it has been set for hearing sew
eral times, it was postponed again yes
terday. Mrs. Scott has been endeaycr-
ing to settle the account with the Da-
Wilson's for long time, but alleged
discrepancies kept the matter open
until Commodore Davidson's death,
when the probate court was appealed
to, and compromise will probably lie
effected before the case is tried. The
account is for salary due Mr.. Haines,
and money he expended for the opera
house.
MRS. DAVIS VALUABLE DOG.
A suit that Doesn't come up every day
in a century was that of Sarah e. Davis
against the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st.
RAUL I:dIlIOau COulpdtys VII IL iuA, uCtOiO
Judge Brill yesterday afternoon. 1t i'll
wolves $500 and dog. The canine,
very reputable brute, was placed on
board of train OH the 21st of Septem-
Der, 1887. his transportation paid and
shipped to the village of WadSworth,
10. Mrs. Davis claims that the dog was
properly Gagged, fed and dated when he
was placed Oh the train, and his name
was put in small box, little larger
than the one the dog occupied, and it
was also shipped. The dog is OF the fe-
male brand, named Fly, and was adj
dressed when last seen to John w. Pal
meter. Its color was black and white,
and its breed a Llewellyn. Mrs. Davis
claims that nothing arrived in the village
of Wadsworth but the box containing
the dogs name, and the dog being and
having stayed absent since. she claims
damages in the sum of $500. Two lead
ing attorneys of this city are discussing
the matter before the court, while Mrs.
Davis occupies seat near the door and
her husband is testifying to the amiabie
traits of his wife's pet, and the profits
and other dogs they would have had it
Fly" had not been lost. The case will
probably go to the jury this morning,
and the merits of the canine celebrity
appraised.
