yesterday afternoon at o'clock The
ease with which the jury was obtain
ed was surprising to both court and

Arendt, II. e. Murray. w. It. Patty, j.

Armstrong and E. C. Rowe were ex-
cused for cause, the former because he
owned land at the Peninsula, and
thought IL might affect his Judgment

an opinion from reading the newspa-
Ipers.
