Of the Week. D.,
An 10 O'Clock Monday the Sep
TENDER term of district court con-
vened at the court house. with Judge
l.. L. Baxter, Of Fergus Falls. ON the
bench. The grand jury was sworn
in, and the Judge gave them the
usual charge. not calling particular
attention to any line of work that
was needed. Only two or three Of
the regulation twenty-three were alb
sent, and they began work at once.
! The first call of the calendar was
gone through in the forenoon, and it
developed that many cases had been
settled. and that a large number
were for court trial. 1T looks now
as though there would be good
many cases for jury trial. but there
are none of great public interest, and
they will probably be disposed OF
rapidly.
There are many appeals from bills
disallowed by the county board, and
in most cases the matter will be left
to the court, as the question is gen
orally one of law. Several of the
county justices OF the peace objected
to the refusal of the county board to
pay their fees in criminal cases.
There is some prospect that an
effort will be made to punish someof
the proprietors OF "blind pigs" in the
county. It is understood that there
are "blind pigs" at Swan River, Two
Rivers, Buchanan and Randall. A
license has recently been taken out at
Buchanan, SO it is possible that bust
ness in that line is now lawfully con-
Quoted in that town. The one at
Randall is not generally in active
operation, but occasionly does bust
ness. The other two are regular
establishments. The county school
fund might just as well be increased
by O few hundred dollars, and those
communities be benefited by the
suppression of this illegal business.
Among the criminal cases the most
sensational one will be the case
against the young men of Royalton
charged with mobbing Matt New
man last winter. 1t Is possible that
not enough evidence can be obtained
to carry the prosecution to a trial.
but if the case does go to court the
developments will be interesting. A
large party were engaged in the
attack on Newman, the basis OF the
quarrel being the construction OF a
hjgh-board fence near an opposition
hotel. The only hope of a convic-
ton is in the turning of states evil
dence by some of the party.
Following is>a list Of the cases on
the calendar at the beginning OF the
term, and, as far as possible at the
time of going to press, statement
