In Court.

usual good strength and manage
ment that has characterized the
short-tefm that he has just closed.
Sheriff Brandt opened court with the
strong voice of assurance that he
will serve in his official capacity for
two more years.
The names of the graz jury weIe
called and Messers E. M. Martin and
G Il Poston excused by the court for
good and sufficient reasons and Mr..
John Judy of Perry was absent. Their
places were filed by Rob't Davey,
Cyrus Wilson and Andy Inboden.
The court named III A Gorden of
Benton as foreman and to him was
administered the foreman's oath,
then the full jury was sworn in.
Judge Wright in his usual master
full way, charged the jury as to their
duties and responsibilities as citizens
and men. The jury retired with the
prosecutor and at this writing are
grinding away on what purports to
be heavy crimin v docket,
Judge Wright then called over the
civil docket and the case set for that
day, being Margaret Kitchen vs. j..
r. Glass was dismissed for want of
prosecution. The attorney for the
plaintiff did not appear in the case
and left no representative and Judge
Wright struck the case from the
docket at costs of the plaintiff. This
thing of dilly- dalling with courts by
attorneys does not go with Judge
Wright. Courts are expensive and
it is the business of attorneys to be
present when the cases are called or
at least be represented, at the speci-
fled time Of the setting Of the docket.
Judge Wright has saved our county
thousands of dollars by his prompt
ness to his duties.
