their hearing in police court yesterday

The first jury of the present term was
called to the box to serve for the rest of
the session. There was an irregularity
in summoning the jurors, and when the
names were called this morning three or
four failed to respond.
In the rush of business just before
going out of Office Sheriff Burdge sum-
moned the men for tomorrow instead of
today, but afterwards notified them by
letter to come today. Judge Hazen chose
extra men from persons in the court
room. Some of the delinquents may
show up tomorrow.
The first case taken up was that OF
Louis Charowhas for selling liquor. This
is an old case.
Alkire and Martin, the chief witnesses
for the city in the case of Robert kneis-
Ter for selling liquor, have not been
found. They we're living near EmporIa

there was hung jury. The Case was
