DOINGS OF THE COURT

Closed as We Go to Press. Re- :
cord ofthe Proceedings.

The past week has been busy one
in District Court circles. The most of
the time up to Saturday morning was
taken up with the trial of the junk
burglary case against Dan Walker, and
it proved a novel trial for this county,
from the fact that the defendant
Walker did the most of the examining
of witnesses himself and also argued
the case before the jury. He handled
the case in surprisingly strong man
ner for one Of no experience, proving
himself shrewd and intelligent. The
jury, however, returned verdict
about two o'clock Saturday morning
of guilty. AS we go to press the case
