G. II. Rines & Co. failed to secure an
important witness in their case against

Greenless turned about and brought

was required all the rest of the day
Tuesday and taken up again Wednes-
day.
The Citizens State Bank secured a
Judgment against LID. Gile, the de-
fendants putting in no appearance.
Duncan H. McCtaig secured a judg-
ment for S33 against Augustand Henry
Cordes. This was a case of trespass
appealed from justice court and as the
plaintiff recovered for the wood cut the
grand jury brought in no bill against
the defendants on the criminal charge.
The North Star Land company we're
also successful in the suit against J. E.
Stair, ct al, securing the coveted judg-
ment. In the land case of John Goss
VS.. John Rollins and a score of other
defendants Judgment for the Defend
ant Gilflllan was ordered. Andrew
Bryson and Jonas Price on their mo-
tion had their case against Henry
Veidt placed on the calendar on the
third day Of the term and Judgment
in their favor was ordered by the court.
The grand jury has been busy with
the criminals of the county and several
indictments have been found. William
Wamberg was indicted Monday for
carnally knowing and abusing a female
child under 16. This case it will be
remembered was noticed in the UNION
several weeks ago. He pleaded not
guilty and as the law allowed delay
which would take it over the term. the
court continued the case and Wanberg
is hustling for bonds. Jason O. Carter,
who was tried some time ago in Justice
court for assault, was indicted Tues
day, charged with assault in the Sec
ond degree. He also pleaded not
guilty, as did Charles Hubbard and
Edd Robinson, who were indicted for
forgery in the second degree. The
last two mentioned are the boys who
were looking for a rapid road to wealth
and thought they had discovered it
when they walked off with some of the
money of the Bank of Princeton after
presenting bogus paper. They will
settle with the court later.
There have been very few attorneys
present so far at this term of court out
side of the members of the bar in Mile
Laos county. Among those noticed
were r. B. Brewer, of St. Cloud; M.
l.. &Countryman, of Minneapolis; j. I.
King, OF Mora; J.L. Brady, of Mime
apolis:: S. Kipp, of St. Paul; and At
torney Stiles, of Minneapolis.
The grand jury brought another in
dictment yesterday and made its re-
port, thus finishing its labors. The
Indictment was against John Wan
derson, of Book, charging him with
assault in the second degree. It is an
echo of the Hanson insanity case which
has caused So much feeling in that
neighborhood. ,1- 10
