The coming term of the circuit
court promises to be longer than com
mon, there being an unusual number
of criminal cases on the calendar and
some of them Important. There are
two murder cases, the first that were
ever in the county. Both Of these are
from the west side of the county, one
from Minocqua and one from woodruff,
and they both grew out of saloon
osff
ty also furnishes an adultery case, one
rape case and one forgery to be tried
this term. There is one case from the
town of Arbor Vitae, that of J. F.
Scholtz. accused of selling Liquor with
out a license. Eagle River is repre-
sented on the criminal calendar by
Henry Schroeder and Anna Schroeder
accused of grand larceny. They are
husband and wife and have. been in the
tolls of the law several times before
and are evidently a bad lot. Henry
broke jail few weeks ago and has not
been re-arrested as yet and Anna will
probably have to stand her trial alone.
Geo. LaPage, accused of resisting an
officer and VIM. Smith who is to be
tried for larceny, both from the west
side of the county, winds ap the crimi-
nal calendar. There are but two is
sues of fact for jury on the civil calen-
dar, John Gillen VS. M p. Beebe, ct. al.
and John McHugh VS. Town of Minoc-
qua, which is a damage suit for injur-
les alleged to have been received from
defective sidewalk. Under issues of
fact for the court, there are seven
cases on the calendar. Among these
is the application of the Town Of Eagle
River for the appointment OF a COM
mission to equalize the county tax.
