LOT CIldl. l'.~'- -'s...- ... ::
The criminal docket however promi-
ses to be interesting.
William Eich having pleaded not
guilty, several days will be consumed
in the presentation of evidence and At
torney Somerville will nc doubt show
up to advantage in making his plea in
the young mans defense. .. '~ ii 4
Mar; Martinka is woman with a no.
torious reputation in New Ulm, and now
that she has been indicted on the charge
of conducting house of ill fame, the
court room is sure to be crowded when
the case comes up for trial. She plead
ed not guilty of course, and Jos. A. Eek
stein was appointed by the court to de-
fend her. The indictment against her
was returned by the grand jury at the
instance of the authorities OF this city.
The names of the witnesses have not
been made public.
AS was expected William Buggert was
indicted for assault in the second degree,
committed upon Barbara schlegel of ST.
gel. Not being in the state at present,
tie case will necessarily go over until
some future term.
The only other true bill is that against
Don Menear for larceny. Menear claimed
to be without money or property, and
inasmuch as he refused to plead guilty,
Attorney Eckstein was appointed to de-
fend him.

settled: Willis Cunningham vs.. Geo.
Dauer, Alfred Schlumpberger VS.. Bern
hard Remnant, Werner Bosch VS.. Chas.

The cases of L.. G. Thornton VS.. Julius
Krueger and Thornton vs.. VIM. Gieseke
were dismissed by reason of failure of
plaintiffs attorney to appear when cases
were reached.
In the matter of Thayer VS.. Semans
the judge ordered that the decision of
the justice court be affirmed.
Barbara Schlegel's suit for damages
against William Buggert was continued;
so also the case of the Minneapolis, New
Ulm & Southwestern Railway against
Edward Stoeckert.
Judge Weber settled the case of Lor,
Der VS.. Constable Geiger without the
aid of jury. 1t will be remembered
that Constable Geiger in December at
tached team and buggy belonging to
one of the Lorbers on debt in favor of
Klossner & Mueller. Suit was brought
by Frank Lorber to recover the same
but Justice Jacobs ruled against him.
An appeal was taken to the district court

member of the petit jury who failed to
make his appearance. Judge Webber
excused him on account Of sickness.
VIM. Buggert thought it of more i'm
portance to serve his country as SOL
dier than as grand juror. At any rate
that's what his attorneys affidavit set
forth.
Every lawyer, and in fact everybody
else, wore broad grin when attorney

and grand jury duties as "private mat
