was in session all the week, and return
ed almost two hundred indictments.

1t Is hardly likely that another jury will
be called this term. AS 1t is, it is by
far the longest term of court ever held
here.
Since last spring the drug stores
have been running without a license,
the council and county refusing to
grant them the privilege of running
legally. The druggists have gone
ahead filing prescriptions, and they
were all indicted. The public is indig-
nant over this special act, and utter
ances against the council and county
court can be heard that are more fore
tble than complimentary. 1t is thought
that Judge Tawenner will be lenient
with these people. The indictments by
the hundreds are now in the hands OF
the prosecuting attorney, but not a
single man can be found. Those who
sold "stuff'' without license are gone,
and the county has expended several
thousand dollars for nothing.
