Railroad Company Dismissed
Some Verdicts. +

was by no means a long one, for al

reaching the village the business was
completed in good season Tuesday
evening and the attendants dismissed.

matters with. all necessary dispatch
and this term proved no exception.

Clerk Briggs, who, by the way, has a
way OF having everything prepared
and the records in apple pie order,
thus guarding against all necessary
delay when the courts session is on.
This saves the county no little ex-
pense, for with two scores of jurors in
attendance, besides the other neces-
sary officials, time runs. into money
rapidly.
The court opened at 2 o'clock Mon
day afternoon and as soon as the calen-
dar had been called the matter of mo-
tions was taken up and disposed of for
the term. The jury put in an appear

company.
