st. George, Sept. 14-[Special]-
There has been only one jury trial at
this term of court, which was that of
j. A. Stratton, who was convicted of
adultery and sentenced this morning
to the penitentiary for eighteen
months. There has, however, been a
number of exparte cases disposed Of,
and the grand jury for the time it has
been in session has done good work.
Bonds Refused Bail.
Robert Bonds, for the murder of
Joseph Berry at Assay, was indicted
yesterday and today was arraigned
and pleaded not guilty. A motion and
attorney, e. V. Higgins, for bail, but
after examination of the evidence be-
fore the committing magistrate and
grand jury it was overruled.
A. S. Robinson was arraigned on two
indictments charging him respectively
with assault to commit murder and to
do bodily harm on his wife and child,
to which he pleaded not guilty. These
are two of the most aggravated cases
of the kind known in the history of
the court
William Bown was arraigned on an
Indictment returned yesterday for
grand larceny. He pleaded not guilty.
Bown is a man of considerable means
and deposited in bank his check for
81 500 for his appearance.

The petit jury was discharged to-
day and the grand jury will go out

Court at Beaver and Parowan.
The idea of holding court in various
parts of the district is a good one and
has been fully appreciated by the peo-
ple. more cases having been filed at
this end of the district than for years
past, showing that people will avail
themselves of the benefits of court
when they have an opportunity; but
the times designated in the governor
recent proclamation for holding court
at Beaver and Parowan are receiving
much unfavorable comment. The next
term, to be held at Beaver on the first
Monday in November, will take a great

Ashland Bosling Hot.

Chicago, Sept. IA dispatch from
lie Grande, KY, says:
The Ashland district is boiling hot
tonight. The canvass that will close
tomorrow will find Breckenridge, so his
friends claim, in the lead, a winner
from 1900 to $500 votes over Owens,
who is in the lead for second place.
This prediction is based on the follow
ing:
In Queen and Henry counties,
Breckenridge will have majority of
fully 1000 over Owens; Oldham will be
a stand-off; Franklin viii give a ma
jority of not over fifty for the one who
will carry Give it to Owens. Owens
will carry Scott by 1900 votes.
Bourbon will give Breckenridge $50 ma
jority. Woodford will be tie, or
pretty nearly so, and this will leave to
Fayette the duty of choosing the can
didate and Breckinridge's majority will
be from 1,500 to 1900 This estimate is
made on a conservative basis. Settle
will not poll over 5000 in the district
Henry and Owens will give him a
good vote and Oldham will honor him
with at least one-third of her 900 and
he will get quite a compliment of
votes in Fayette. He-s he will rest.
