Judge Nelson appointed j. A.

the jury and said that it's labors would
be light, as there were but few cases
coming before it. Minnesota is al
most entirely an agricultural state,
and it is gratifying to know that
there are very few violations of the
law in such community. Where the
Indian reservations are located there
are more or less violations of the law.
The jury is drawn from all parts of
the state to look into the offenses
committed in the second division.
There are only two classes of cases to
come before the jury, one regarding
alleged violations of the postal laws,
