Vernal. April 1S.-After finishing up
a few minor items that were left over
from yesterday. and passing sentence

adjourned today for the term. Judge
Dusenberry and the legal itinerary de-
parted on their journey tc the out

centered.
Taken altogether, this has been a
very satisfactory term cf curt. and its

have occurred lately.
Indeed, it may not be unreasonable
to hope that the present year will mark
the turning point in the history of Uin-

law-respecting element of this section
will keep up the good fight for the name

section.
There were several cases that the peo-
pie were vitality interested - that were
continued, but as the court covered q
period OF three weeks, there is not
much inclination to grumble.
