session and in her dignified and lady
like way soon made all at home. They

their thoughtfulness. After delight
full time they went merrily home.
The reason for postponing the time
for holding the December term of
court was owing to Judge Green try
ing one Of the most important cases,
possibly, ever tried in the district. He
is now tering upon the fifth week of
the trial of the case of Doyle vs.. Burns,
a contest between two Colorado mil.
lionaires over the proceeds of some
mining claims. There are many dis
tinguished counsels engaged in the
case: Mr.. John Baldwin, of Council
Bluffs, and Mr.. Hughes, of Denver,
together with several others appearing
for the plaintiff; and United States
Senator Patterson, Ex-Governor Thorn
as, Congressman Smith, and several
others for the defendant. The case will
probably take two weeks more as it
involved over half million dollars
and every step is bitterly contested.
He should have commenced the Red
Oak term on the 10th day of December
but it was of course impossible for him
to leave Council Bluffs until the case
is finished. 1t was absolutely necessa.
ry that some Judge should go to Red
Oak and take charge of the business
there, as there was a murder case pend
ing at that place together with much
very important matter that could not
we'll be delayed. Upon consultation
with the other judges it was agreed
that the best thing to do was to ad-
journ the Audubon term and let Judge
Wheeler go to Red Oak. They have
accordingly adjourned the Audubon
term to the Goth day of December when
the grand jury will be impaneled. The
petit jury will not be impaneled until
the third of January
Voting Contest.
