the same manner as the former note
The $500 note was renewed from time
to time until October 18th, 1901, when
the bank refused longer to carry the
paper. The Dawson's at this time
not being prepared to take up the
note, it was protested. The suit fol-
lows. The defense in the case is that
Emma Dawson, in whose name all
the property of the Dawson's rests,
cannot be held liable as endorser un-

Wotk of the Grand Jury.
-Four days were spent by the twenty
three members of the Grand Jury in
making careful investigation of the
criminal matters that were brought to
their attention.
There were big pile of complaints
handed the Grand Inquest when the
body was sent out by Justice Hendriok-
son, and all of them were taken up.
The number of bills found was larger
than usual, forty-two in all. There
were one hundred and forty nine wit
nesses examined during the session
of the Grand Jury.
The members of the Grand Jury
speak very highly of the clerk of that
body, Mr.. Albert McAllister, and he
proves highly efficient and at all times
courteous and painstaking.
There was little complaint among
the Jurymen of the Justices of the
Peacetat this term. Most of the cases
sent up were in good shape, and the
character of the cases of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant investigation.
There was an expression among some
OF the jurors that in some cases the
Justices We're trifie too prolific with
their witnesses, and by having fewer
subpoenaed, there would be less ex-
pense to the county.
