COURT HOUSE NOTES.
Everything looked damp around
the court house yesterday and busl-
ness was dull.
The heavy rain of the past two days
\ has forced its way through the court
house roof and is now leaking through
into the district court room.
Look out for crowded court rooms
as soon as the criminal docket is
called.
A large number of witnesses were
summoned before the grand jury yes
terday.
Taken all in all, the court house
never had more efficient or courte-
ous corps of officers than at present.
Perhaps their most marked trait OF
character is the love they seem to
possess for a good cigar, and the re-
markable aptitude with which they
can find one on the person of quiet
and inof'ensive reporter is simply
astonishing.
The grand jury was in session yes
terday and at their adjournment
handed in seven indictments for
felony
