A BUSY TERM.
The past term of court has been a
notable one. especially from the stand
point of criminal cases considered.
Two murder cases occupied the atten-
ton of Judge Amber. as well as
number of cases where lesser charges
were made. The county Jail, which was
packed with accused persons, has been
pretty well depopulated, a few who
had been indicted being cleared, but
the greater number either being found
guilty or admitting their guilt
In No. 1 Judge Harter looked after
civil actions, disposing of large num-
Der in spite of the fact that several
tedious damage suits occupied the
time of court and jury. AS fast as the
docket is cleared. however, new cases
are filed and the indications are that
the bar list for the next term will be
as large as that of the term that has
just closed
BAUM'S Use.
Sentence has not yet been passed
upon Harrison Baum. who was found
guilty of shooting with intent to kill
Marin Erase. There IS a motion for a
gued and disposed of the sentence can
not be imposed.
DIVORCE ASKED.
Elizabeth Burns, woman saloon
keeper of Massillon, has sued Michael
Burns. for divorce and restoration to
her maiden name of Elizabeth Vanan-
da. She seems to thing that any one
with a Scotch-Irish name like Michael
Burns had no business mixing it up
with a girl named Vananda, which is
suggestive of Italy and bananas. She
charges In the petition filed in court
that Mike has been guilty of extreme
cruelty and many other things unbe-
coming of a dutiful and faithful hus-
band. She asks the court to enjoin her
husband from in any way interfering
with the conduct of her saloon, either
by partaking of the liquids or any of
the profits. Attorney ]. A. McLaugh-
lin is counsel for the plaintiff
SMALL NOTE.
Alfred Heiman has brought an ac-
tion against Ida F. Zettler to collect
the amount of S1O0 note. Clark &
Clark are counsel In the case.
