District Court,

From Thursdays Daily.]
In the district court yesterday the case
of Moorhouse against the Walter A. Wood
reaping and machine company was re-
sumed. Mr.. Moorhouse was on the stand
all the forenoon and part of the afternoon
on direct examination, and the cross ex-
animation began during the afternoon ses-
sion. Mr.. Longbrake, who conducted the
cross examination, had not concluded his
questioning when the court rose at $50.
This is a long and somewhat tedious case,
put it is expected that the testimony will
be all in to-day, and perhaps the case may
get to the jury before the close of the day.
This is the last civil case on the calen-
dar to be tried by a jury. The case of Bly,
VS.. Healy and Ecklund was yesterday put
over the term by consent of counsel.
The court stated yesterday that the dis
trict attorney informed him he would not
be prepared to move any criminal cases
this term, so the civil case now on may be
the last case that there will be for the Jury
to hear: There are a few court cases yet
to be tried at this term.
