FOR JUDGE AND JURY,
The April Term of Court Convenes
Next M0nday--The Calendar
is Light One.
Several Cases for the Grand Jury to
Consider--Damage Suit of
Murdoch VS.. Bryson.

Murdoch VS.. Bryson.
The April term of the district court
will convene Monday. Judge Searle
will probably preside and attend to the
intricate machinery of the law. The.
calendar promises to be rather light
from present appearances, and the
clerk of court says it bids fair to be one
OF the shortest since he has held the
office. The criminal calendar will de.
pend upon what the grand jury does
with several cases that will come be-
fore that body for investigation =
Among those who are bound over
to the grand jury are Gustave
Gatz and Albert Leuch for. the brutal
assault on Mike Bonskowski last De-
cember. They are both out on bail
and have been for. some time. Pc
JEWELS conduct in an alleged assault
on a woman up at the lake several
months ago will also be looked into.
He was bound over by Justice Norcross
OF Milaca. Fred Bradshaw will also
be one of those who will have to run
the fire OF the grand jury. There are
two criminal cases that were continued
over the term. One is the State VS..
Pelarske of Milaca who was indicted
for having sold liquor to an habitual
drunkard and was placed under 500
bonds. The other is the old Sawyer
rape case. Sawyer who was serving a
term in the reformatory, is now at
liberty. -.
The civil calendar consists of five
jury and nine court cases, and there
are also three jury, cases which we're
continued from the September term.
Among them is the case of Locke VS..
the Foley Bean Lumber Co. which was
continued from the September term
by consent of both parties. The case
of Mary F. Parrot vs.. Geo. Locke and
John Bartlett which is closely related
to the former case, is still unsettled,
and will be. disposed of at the coming
term: The other continued cases are
the Austin & Western Land Co.. VS..
the Town of Isle Harbor, and the case
OF Pearson VS.. Craig,
Among the new cases that appear on
the calendar is that of Ida Townsend
VS.. the Village of Milaca which case
involves the legality of certain pro-
ceedings of the village council of Milaca
in issuing village order for 'street
improvements
A case that promises to furnish some
breeze to freshen the dull court routine +
is that of J. F. Murdoch against An
drew Bryson for $4,000 damages for
alleged defamation of character. The
COMPLAINTS long one and in which
the word ''bunco" appears at frequent
intervals. Plaintiff states that defen-
dant made the statement in the pres
ence of Fay Cravens and others that
she (plaintiff) tried to bunco me out
of $10." ''He tried to bunco me out of
some hay and wood" He is working
a bunco game on me-" etc. Contin-
uing the complaint says "that in using
and speaking said words to Fay Crav-
ems defendant intended to and did
charge, that plaintiff did habitually,
willfully, Intentionally and felonously
cheat, steal from, rob and defame de-
PENDANT and others, and defendant in
using said words was so understood by
said Cravens and those in whose pres
ence said words were used" The case
is filed as a court case.
There are several cases brought by
farmers against the Great Northern
Railway company for damages from
fires along the right of way of said
road. There are, several other cases ID.
of more or less Importance, more So to
the litigants than to the public.
