COURT NOTES.
Court will probably last until the
middle of next week.
No criminal case of any general
interest will be tried at this term.
1t would have been different if i'm
portant business had not impera-
lively called Messrs Dean and Molls-
see elsewhere.
One of the speak easy boat men
escaped, another gave bail after the
preliminary trial before Squire
Hayes. The two boys who are in
Jail were indicted, one of them
six times for selling intoxicants and
once for unlawfully resisting the
sheriff, and the other boy on the lat
ter charge.
This is the term of court when as
rule the young lawyers who have
been admitted to the Bar by virtue
of their w. V. University law di-
plomas take pleasure in insisting
and persisting in giving pointers as
to how eminent counsel should con-
duct their cases.
This has not been an entirely
pleasant term for bail sureties Frank
Gold, charged with violation of the
revenue laws, John Dean indicted
for perjury, and Henry Mollissee in
dicted for a felony have failed to
appear as per their recognizances,
and so the court, F. Marion Bunner,
Josiah Randall and George Nuce,
their sureties, are not supremacy
happy.
E. M. Hukill, the famous oil oper-
ator, was court visitor on Monday.
State vs. Aron Carlow, misdemean.
or. The jury failed to agree after
having considered of their verdlck
from Thursday until Monday after
