SH0RT-TERM COURT,
Court Adjourned Last Friday After
Making Short Work of the
Criminal Calendar.
Liquor Cases All Dismissed IS Leuck
Fined 500 for Assault
Other Cases.

journed last Friday morning. The
criminal calendar was cleared in a very
short time, and but one case was heard
by jury, that of the State VS.. Albert
Leuck for assault, being tried Thurs
day afternoon. Leuck was found guilty
OF assault in the third degree and a
sentence of fine of 800 or ninety days
Imprisonment in jail was imposed.
Leuck paid his fine and was discharged.
The case against Gustav Gatz was con-
tlnued over the term, as it would have
been necessary to have impaneled a
special venire to have tried him, as
most OF the jurymen had been present
and heard the testimony in the trial of
Leuck. The venire would have put the
county to considerable expense aud it
was thought best to try the case at the
April term of court.
The case against Joseph Pelaske was
dismissed on motion of the county at
torney, as were also all the liquor cases
which included two against Thorn
quist, two against Doyle, one against
Patchin and one against Weston of
Milaca. The same disposition was
made of the case against the Mcdonald
woman for keeping house of ill fame.
On motion of the county attorney the
case against Geo. Howard for forgery
was also dismissed. The Stowe appeal
was continued on motion of defendant.
When the case against Fred Bradshaw
for grand larceny was called there was
no appearance of defendant nor his at
torney and the bond of $500 was de-
clared forfeited. This does not release
Bradshaw from the clutches of the law
should he be apprehended at any time.
The demurrer entered by Attorney
Dickey in the Goulding case was over
ruled and the case was continued over
the term.
On the civil calendar the case of
Frank Peterson, appellant, VS.. the
town OF Princeton, was dismissed on
motion of respondent. The case of
Nels Anderson VS.. A. J. and Sarah E.
Barrett will be tried by the court at
chambers on briefs to be submitted.
The calendar is not yet free from the
Rush-Adcock litigation the titles of
which have adorned the calendar for
some time. J. A., and A. G.. Rush, his
wife, appealed from the decision of
Justice Chadbourne in a case heard
last spring in which Adcock brought
suit and the order of the lower court
was affirmed. Appellants attorney,
c. c. Joslyn of Minneapolis. was una
BILE to be present at court when the
case came up and the last day of court
he filed an affidavit reciting the why's
and wherefores of his inability to be
present, and the court after hearing
the affidavit ordered thecase reinstated
on the calendar.
One of the cases that JUDI &c Baxter
will hear at chambers is that of an ap-
plication for judgment in divorce
suit brought by Karl Gustaf Hedman,
formerly known as Carl Gustaf Hen
rikson, a Fin, who married 'Anna,
Johan's Dotter Hedman, formerly
called Anna Johan's Dotter' some time
before he came to this country. He
lived with Anna few weeks and then
took trip on great big ship three
thousand miles away" Anna never
came for some reason and Karl thinks
he is justified in asking for separa-
ton.
