The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1900-01-19
Court.

OOurC.
Court adjourned on Wednesday. A
large smount of work has been done,
noticeably among the old cases. Quite
number of cases on the "continued"
list have really been settled by other
cases arising from the same issues having
been tried this term.
The jury in the Olson Thompson &
Co. VS.. M. McAndress disagreed from 9
O'Clock one morning until o'clock next
afternoon, before the Judge let them go.
This is the second trial of this case.
The case Of Remi Pelerin was tried
Tuesday. Pellerin is widower and
lives near Cavalier. One GUARD and
wife worked for him. GUARD testified
that Pellerin and Mrs. G. were unduly
intimate. Both the accused parties de-
MED. Some of the circumstances were
in favor of the prosecution but very little
direct evidence. The verdict Of guilty
was rather a surprise to most listeners.
The sentence was light for the offence,
and it evident the judge took the circum-
stances into consideration.
AS we said last week, very few of the
cases had features of much public inter-
est
The following list will show the dispo-
sition of all cases on the calendar for
