WAY JURORS ARE SELECTED.
The selection of United States Jurors
differs in some respects from the
method followed in the state courts.
In the state courts the wheel is filled
each year. and if any names are not
drawn out they are thrown aside at
the end of the year and new names
placed in the wheel. In the United
States court, a name remains in the
wheel until the party is selected to
serve as il juror. Marshal Leonard
says he has drawn names in the West
ern district that had been in the wheel
twenty years.
The law prescribes that there shall
be not less than three hundred names
in the wheel at the time of drawing.
After a drawing has taken place, the
names that are drawn are replaced by
new names to the same number as
those drawn out. AT yesterdays draw
ing there were seventy-One names
withdrawn. Before the next drawing
takes place, seventy-one new names
will be placed in the wheel.
There was another brief session of
the District court yesterday morning
Judge Archibald admitted number OF
lawyers to practice, and signed the
of his appointees as bank
ruptcy referees. These commissions
will be sent out today by Clerk Searle.
Attorney r. A. Zimmerman has the
of being the first attorney
to file petition in bankruptcy in the
new court. 1t was voluntary petition,
with Henry l.. Hartranft, of 504 Bates
street, as petitioner. He certifies to
liabilities of $7547,5l and assets of S.
749.24. The latter, however, is covered
by claims of secured creditors and eX-
emptions.
THE OFFICE DEPUTY.
James w, Snyder, of Coudersport,
Potter county, the new office deputy
for this district, was installed yester-
day by Marshal Leonard. Mr.. Snyder
does not succeed Clark Lowry. as was
supposed. Mr.. Lowry was a
field deputy and the office of field dep
uty in the new district having been
dispensed with, he is without a place
There were three field deputies in this
district when 1t was a part of the
Western district. These field deputies
are succeeded by three office deputies.
An office deputy has powers somewhat
more extensive than a field deDuty and
