men OF the crime. There Is also testi.

COURT NOTES.
There are several more blind Dig.
gers under bonds, and the sheriff has
sufficient goods in his care to set up
a county blind-pig In the vacant jury
room.
The Till trial has attracted large
audiences, and sometimes nearly one
hundred ladies have been present.
There has been hardly . smile ex-
cited by the testimony, and the at
torneys had scarcely a scrap, and very
few exceptions" were taken.
The supreme court of Cavalier is
still at it. A man drove through the
streets at afurlous rate on the 4th
of July. Five separate cases we're
made from this offense, drunk and.
disorderly, fast driving, crulty to ami.
mails, resistance to az officer, and an.
other case was sent to another justice.
For each of the first four were separ.
ate fines and costs amounting in all
to $97 90, which have since been com.
promised to about half. The next
case Is where a tenant Is accused Of
taking six (6) eggs from his landlord,
which the tenant claimed were his by
the terms of his contract. The ten.
ant is now 10 the county jail serving
ten days 10 default Of fine. Eggs are
ten cents dozen, but the county
pays more than that for this half
dozen. Comment is unnecessary.
