Owing to various circumstances the
present has been the shortest session
of the circuit court ever held here.
Only two jury cases and no criminal
cases have been tried, and court will
probably adjourn Tuesday after an ac-
tual session of only five days.
In the case Of Pisarek against Marsh
for slander the plaintiff obtained YER
dict of ST. The plaintiff in the case was
tried at the last term of court for rob
biDg the defendant of 81 300, but the
evidence not being sufficient, the Judge
pronounced him not guilty and direct
ed verdict to that effect. In the
present case evidence was introduced
to the effect that the plaintiff had real
ly committed the crime with which he
was then charged, having told parties
in Chicago detailing all the circum-
stances and depositing part of the
money with deposit company. While
there were strong probabilities that
this evidence was all cooked up, the
jury evidently took some stock in it.
The case of Delaney VS.. Roberts for
slander has beer settled, and the case
against Dr.. Kaetel is now being tried.

assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. M. F. Man
ming. Not until 10 O'Clock did the last
of the guests numbering 10 arrive, at
which time supper was announced, to
which all did ample justice. Then the
merry dance began, which was kept up
till the aurora of the morning did IL
lumine the horizon, when all departed
for their homes, wishing many years of
prosperity and happiness to the young
couple, whose marriage life begins un-
der such happy auspices. Nothing was
left undone by the host and hostess to
make the occasion at once memorable
and agreeable. Among the large num-
Der of guests from abroad were John
Burke, Sen., John Burke, Jr and Miss
Libbie Burke, father, brother and sis
ter of the bride, of Redwood; M. Solon,
of Redwood; Mrs. Jos. Harvey, Mrs. P.
