MIR. BLANCHARD UNWILLING
To Enter Upon u Trial Of the Moore MUIR
der Case at Once.

der Case AT once.
Ford and OBrien occupied their ac-
customed seats in the County Court
room Monday morning, ready to hear
what the court thought about the
motion to call a special venire and try
them for the murder Of David Moore
1t was expected that some decided
action would be taken in the case and
as a result the court room was
crowded.
Mr.. McDOugall stated that he did
not feel justified to enter into the
trial Of the case at present and gave
several reasons. The extreme hot
weather, he thought, would interfere
materially with progress in the case,
and, again, his health at present was
not the very best and such Il strain as
would arise from excessive overwork
on the trial might result seriously to
himself. He thought that the prison
ers should be given time to consult at
torneys and prepare a defense, and
this would be impossible were the
trial to begin at once.
The court conceded with Mr.. Nc
Dougall's remarks as to the extreme
heat and the necessity Of giving de-
PENDANTS ample time To prepare de-
Tense. He thought 1t very foolish TO
call special venire when farmers
were so busy in the fields and the hot
weather would make 1t very trying
for all concerned, and in case a juror
was to be taken sick the case must be
tried over again. After reviewing all
the circumstances attendant upon the
trial, Judge Blanchard said he would
hold the matter as it stands until the
time comes TO adjourn for the term,
when IL would be decided.
1t is very probable that the case will
not be tried until the October term.

OTTAWA ASSESSMENT.
How That of 1889 Compares with THU
Year-West Reports.


Year-West Reports.
Chas. West, the Deer Park assessor,
placed his books for 1890 In the hands
Of the county clerk at late hour
Saturday afternoon. The abstract OF
assessment had been printed before
the return was made and, OF course,
the assessment for Deer Park is not
given. The clerk had to get the re-
port ready for Mondays meeting Of
the board and had no time to wait on
this assessor. This difficulty arises
nearly every year and the sooner 1t is
remedied the better for all parties
interested.
Ottawa's assessment for 1890 Is much
larger than that of last year. The as
sessed valuation on lands is 1853, 800 or
1899 per acre, against sl56.095 and
$500 per acre for 1889. On lots IL is
1878, 067, against s672, 09i for last year;
or sl79.45 TO slSs.63 per lot. The as
sessed valuation on all personal prop
erty is S403,977, against 1896, 325 for
1890. Property in Bruce township is
assessed much lower than last year,
while In La Sale IL is considerably
greater.
