DAcu1Ct OOuIts
Since the last issue of the INDEX the
following proceedings have been had in
the district court:
A divorce was granted to DR.. III. j.
Gould, from his wife, Cora B. Gould.
Defendant is nonresident.
The case of w. D. VanSlyke vs.. C.
w. Ellis was called before Judge .. c.
Howe, special judge, elected by the
members of the bar. Plaintiff was not
present, nor was he represented by at
torney. The evidence of one witness
for the defense was heard, and judg-
ment for costs rendered in favor of the
defendant.
The case of J. G. Abel against J. w.
Haughey, ct al, was tried, and a judg-
ment for plaintiff recorded. Mr. Abel.
as court stenographer, in 1887, made a
transcript of the record in the old Nor
ton county-seat case, tried here, at the
request of the defendants, but they
failed to pay him as they promised.
STATE VS.. J. G.. SoUTHwoRTH.
This was the first case tried this term,
under the prohibitorY law. The COM
plant charged Southworth with selling,
last December oath, LIQUOR to L. l..
O'BrYan and VIM. Kelley, the only wit
ness for the state being Henry j. Kel
ley. There were three or four witness
es for the defense, and it took the jury
but short time to return verdict of
mot guilty" AS there has been some
criticism of the jury, it may be appro-
pirate here to state that they are as
good men as can be found in Barber
county. Their names are as follows:
j. r. Fair, John Wetz,
II. l.. Strickland. IL. A. Bailey,
Hiram Fuller, Geo. r. Boden,
j. F. Crawford, Jacob Kemp.
Fred. Stoker, John Southland,
r. d. Gaddie, Joseph Brown.
The jury in the case of the state YER
sus VIM. Creighton, returned verdict
of not guilty. 1t was shown that de-
PENDANT killed a bull, about six years
old. and sold part of the meat to d. b.
CrOll, of HaZelton. The complaint
charged the sale of "unwholesome"
meat. The jury appears TO have thought
that 'bull BEEF was wholesome, aud
so defendant was acquitted.
