Divorces, Charters, Notary Appoint
ments. Lunatics, Criminal Cases.
Three more divorce cases were disposed
of by the superior court yesterday. The
case of Jacob Friedman against Jennie
Friedman was the only one in which there
was any contest She made a showing, it
| appears, which convinced the jury, that
the fault in the case was on the part of
the plaintiff instead of on her side, and
the jury granted a verdict in her favor,
refusing the defendant a divorce. This
leaves the matter just where it stood be-
fore the application was made.
In the case of Julius Krouskoff against
Catherine Krouskoff, a second verdict
was rendered and a decree for total d.
vorce. In the case of Lorena Wolfe
against Calvin Wolfe, first verdict was
rendered in the plaintiffs favor.

In the court of ordinary a warrant
charging Pat Noon with lunacy, was
sworn out by his mother, Mrs. Kate Noon.
Pat is now in Jail on a charge of forgery,
and has been in Jail at odd times on va
rious other charges. To all appearances
he seems to be another of the class Of de-
generates. His mental condition will be
passed upon by jury in the court of or

The day in the city court was devoted
to the trial of criminal cases in which jury
trials were demanded. Henry Patterson
pleaded guilty to keeping a gaming house
and was sentenced to pay a fine of SIS
and costs or spend six months on the
chain-gang.
III. d. Lowry and C. P, Cochran, after
trial, were found guilty of keeping a gam
ing house, and each was sentenced TO pay
a fine of 800 and costs or spend six months

1t is probable that the trial OF the petty
misdemeanor cases in the city court will
be taken up to-day or to-mor-
row. There are now thirty-six
city court prisoners in the JAIL the
lower floor being filled with them. The
Tailor says he has had to double up on
some of them, so great has been the rush,
and he Is quite anxious to have a clearing
out.
