The Februarr term q Che Circnit conrt

term is of considerable inporta
es especially as none has been t,rid sine, y
wear ago and to thn Important new Eases
on the calendar. The criminal eases a.r'
not very plentiful aud on" rarity in the
liGuor case. So iar there ~ not 81 new
u in sight and some "a the old oues
have be"n dropped
The old indictments standing against
Melvin Bennett. Tor liqaor selling and
against Lewis Tew and Vim. Smith iur

Bnt the prospect % having aWindictment

aud the ease viii b. brought to~trial.
TIL" civil c,sts are - great Number aud
81 varying Importance and will take upa
great deal o. tine. The divorces mill will
not amount to very much as>there are
only five or xix cases oi thIs kiBa out oi
a table of rs civil cas+s.
One o. these divorce eases is that OF
Wilirmina Good against John Good.
The case is over some domestic troubles
and should il end in favor OF the plaintiff
will leave Good in anything but II good
shape AZ the property la all in her name.
The way this happened was so@e years
ago Good ran Il binder over a Young lad
who vas helping him harvest and cut
his arm off and in order to escapspaying
some damage conveyed the property to
Mrs. Good.
Other cases that will attract consider
able attention will be the damage suits
OF Sophia Serenson against H.A. Pea
body and &. d. Peterson, in which $4,000
is sued for in each ease under the liquor
law. The complaint is that the defend
ants have incapacitated the plaintiffs
husband, Fl. c. Serenson, e~x-sherif, from
attending his business by selling him
liquors. This is the first case OF the kind
ever brought up in this county and will
be watched with a great deal Of interest.
The grand jury have brought in Eve
indictments SO far and they are AGAINST
Adolph Block, Mike Lemke, Conrad
Sauer, Gust Sauer and Ody Makins.
The parties indicted were ell arraigsed
Thursday afternoon and were all granted
until Friday afternoon to plead. Block,
Lemke and Conrad and Gust Sauer are
charged with several crimes but Block
and Lemke are apparently farthest ia
the tolls. They are charged with grand
larceny in connection with the late fine
and numerous other occasions, notably
the two thefts OF -four from the, Farmers
Union Elevator Co. and the .JeweH X
Englehart hogs. The story has been
told in the columns of the REPoRrsnbe~
fore and no more can be learned untlthe
trial comes OF.
Indictment number s was against; Oily
Makins who is charged with m~aliGiOus
mischief and the shooting Of A. j. M.saps
horse.
The court has been busy with. two
cases so far and the first; Brown County
Bank against James Gilmore; resulted in
the plaintiff receiving a verdict for $l56.
40 although they sued for $500. 1t was
a so called usury case.
The second case Is a damage suit OF
Fred Swartz against Feter koenigs and
involves the question OF a dog. Swartz
claims the dog was vicious aud bit him
while Koenigs claims the dog "a gentle
and only mindful OF the premises. The
jury on this case returned n verdict OF
500 and costs for the plaintiff.
LATER.
Just as we go TO press the Grand Jury
have brought in an Indictment against
eX-Sheriff Serenson for the enIbeZzlement
OF $755.3O paid him for the redemption
OF Il farm belonging to John Mckennett.
Ten days loss OF time On account OF
sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for a man OF a family
to contemplate, whether he is a laborer,
mechanic, merchanto or publisher. Jas.O.
Jones, publisher OF the Leader, Mexia,
Texas, WA sick in bed for ten days with
the grip during its prevalence n year or
two ago. Later in the season he had Il
second attack. He says. IN the latter
case l used Ghamberlain's Cough Remedy
with considerable success, I think, only
being in bed a little over awo days. Ihe
! second attack | am satisfied would have
been equally az bad rs the first but for
| the use OF this remedy" IL should be
borne in mind that the grip IA much the
same rs a severe col&ail requires pre-
| cisely the same treatment. When you
wish to cure a cold Vsickly and e~ffectually
