District Court.
In the district court Tuesday Mr..
Register said in the case of state of
North Dakota vs.. Anderson Healy he
desired to move for a dismissal. The
case was tried a year ago and a verdict
was given against Mr.. Healy. A new
trial in the case was granted. Mr.. Reg.
lister said that if the case is tried again
in this county he did not believe a YER
dict could be secured, either for or
against the defendant.
The judge told MI. Register that if he
drew up an order dismissing the case he
would sign it.
sin the case of the state VS.. Swenson,
in which Swenson is charged with brib-
ing Mason, MI. Register asked that the
case be dismissed. His request was
complied with.
THE WOOL
MI. Register said he was ready to try
the case of the state VS.. Elvin Wood.
MI. Philbrick, who appeared for the de-
Tense, said that a material witness for
his client. MI. Geo. w. Nealy, was out
eft the state. He desired to have an op-
portunity to secure the testimony of Mr..
Nealy. The defendant does not desire
to make any unnecessary delay; he has
furnished a good and sufficient bond,
and asked for a continuance to the next
term.
MI. Register said he did not wish to
push the case if the defense was not
ready to go to trial, and he was willing
to leave the matter to the court.
Judge Winchester said the case had
already gone over two terms, and it
seemed to him that it should be dis
posed of.
The bond was examined and found to
be a continuing bond in the sum of
$4,000, with John Yegen and Joseph
Hare az suret1es, and the case wa con-
tinued over the term, it being understood
that it will be the first business of the
next term.
CIVIL CALENDAR.
The civil calendar contained thirty
eight cases, most of them being legacies
from former terms, in which the parties
to the actions seemed to be more anxi-
GUS for postponements of their cases
than for trials. There were but two new
cases-one of Brundage VS.. Mellon and
one of Glasscock VS.. Cramer.S
In the B~1undage case MI. Allen ap-
pears for the defendant, but owing to
Mi. Aliens unavoidable absence the
case was put over the term, the
defendant being called upon to pay a
term fee Of $40 and an amount to cover
the plaintiffs expenses of this term.
The other new case went. over the term
by consent Of parties.
There we're two appeals from justices
of the peace-one of Joseph Hare vs..
Poundmaster Pollock. This was con-
tinued because of the absence of Mayor
Allen, who appeared in the justice court
for Mr.. Pollock. The other appeal case
was Weymunth vs.. Burt. Mr.. Burt did
not come to time, presumably because
he was sick, and the case was made a
court case and will be tried later on if
the parties both happen to be in town
the same day.
The jury was thereupon discharged.
In the afternoon, q number of tax
citations were heard. A number of clta-
tions were put over till Saturday of this
week, at 10 q. m.
MISCELLANEOUS. ~ o.
Judge Boyle is the plaintiff in a case
against Erard Wooster Of Enmons
". At the late term Of court Mr.. Boyle
wanted the case tried, but Mr.. Wooster
did not put in an appearance. This
time Mr.. Wooster was not on hand. The
case was set for Saturday of this week,
and il Mr. Wooster does not put in an
appearance then, the case is likely to be
tried in his absence unless he puts up a
term fee. #s5
This morning the case of the w. G.
z. U.vs. MI. and Mrs. Slaughter, will
come up at 10 o'clock.
