 Mr. Cowan is travelling salesman and first heard of the action of the court through the columns of The Age-Herald. It seems that there was some misunder- standing his part as to the date of the trial, and as soon as he became aware of the action he immediately came to the city and strengthened matters out The case will be reset on the docket
 Juries were organized in the different courts yesterday for the week, but little business was transacted.
