Treasurer Nicely made the jurymen

Sheriff Howard and his deputies pre-

AS usual, D. w. Bruckart figured in
the most cases. Dan is popular in
Mile Laos county, and his services are
always in demand.
Judge Gard, the attorney generals
representative, is venerable looking
man. But he is as full of fire and vigor
as any of the younger attorneys, and
he is fine jury lawyer.
Law is a luxury and comes high.
The parties who resort to litigation to
settle their grievances should be com

would be fewer lawsuits.

DISTRICT COURT.
Adjourned Tuesday and Several
Important Cases Go Over
Till Next Term.
The Docket was a Heavy One
and the Term was Ex-
pensive.

District court adjourned, Tuesday
afternoon. When the UNION went to
press last week the grand jury were
still in session, but that body concluded
It's labors on Friday afternoon and
was discharged. Only three indict-
ments We're returned one against A.
=. Norton charging him with murder
IN the second degree, for the shooting
OF Joseph Brumbaugh three years ago.
Mr.. Norton was village marshal at the
time Of the shooting and the coroner's
jury exonerated him. Bail was fixed
at 81, 600 and the case continued. AL
bert Pitmon, a boy of IL years, who
was indicted for placing distractions
on the railroad track, was admitted to
bail in the sum Of $500, and the case
continued. Fred Bradshaw, another
youth, indicted for grand larceny.
Case continued and bail fixed at $500.
NJ arion Brumbaugh, accused of assault
ana battery; appeal from justice
court. Case continued by consent.
Fred Young, accused Of petit larceny;
appeal from justice court; case con-
tinued. In the case of State VS.. Pit
mon, indicted two years ago for the
crime of incest, defendant did not APP
pear and a bench warrant was is
sued for his arrest. In the case of
State VS.. Matte Pierce, who was in
dlcted for assault in the first degree at
last term of court, jury disagreed.
Contrary to general expectations Big
Pete, the Indian who was accused of
3wanton destruction of property in the
town of Robbins, was not indicted.
VIM. Lange, the wife-beater also es-
capped Indictment. We do not know
what evidence was brought before the.
grand jury relative to Big Pete, but we
believe him guilty Of the offence
charged and an example should have
been made of him. However, it is
next to impossible to convict an
Indian in Mile Laos county. The set
tiers will be obliged to take the law
into their own hands if they would
protect their lives and property. A
great many Of the civil cases we're set
tied or continued by consent. In the
consolidated railroad damage cases
verdicts were rendered in favor of
plaintiffs and against the Eastern Min
nesota as follows: VIM. Meyer,
Sl07.85; Margaret Guyette, 81 1000; r.
D. Byers, 1920; John Boyn, s75; George
H. Chalmers, s218.30; Henry Holthus,
$40; Theodore Rosin, s45; August
Pinz, $40; William selhorn, s56.25;
Erastus Fletcher, S134.75 A verdict
of 81, 642.23 was rendered in favor of N.
~. Jesmer and against Mile Laos Lum-
Der Co. These were the only impor-
tant civil cases save those mentioned
in last weeks issue of UNION.
