Because of reports that had been
received here it was expected that the
district court would not convene un-
til tomorrow, consequently some OF
the lawyers and others we're surpris-
ed when Judge Loud appeared this
morning and announced his readiness
to proceed. The word of the courts
arrival was Oon passed around and
it was only a short time after the
session had been formally opened that
the lawyers and others having bust
s there were on hand.

Summons were ordered issued for

Several names were drawn that
were ordered passed, some OF the par,
ties having been known to have left
the county, while in one or two in
stances doubt as to their continued
residence was entertained.
Counsel Objects.
When the name of Louis Leon was
drawn the court was informed that
Leon was under bonds to appear at
the present term to answer to the
charge of assault in the first degree.
Upon this statement the Judge order
ed the name passed, holding that the
fact that Leon himself was to be tried
on a criminal charge disqualified him
from serving as a juror.
To this ruling w. M. Johnston, at
torney for M. L.. Hayden, entered an
objection. No argument was attempt
ed, Mr.. Johnston contenting himself
with maintaining that the mere fact
of Icons position before the court
could not be made to act as a bar to
his being summoned, at least.
His objection was overruled and
Mr.. Johnston asked that the minutes
be made to show it had been offered.
Defendants A%rraisned.
The criminal calendar was called
and the following defendants were ar
raigned:
l.. M. Hayden, murder. This case
having been continued from the last
session of court, the defendant was
not required to plead, having previous
ly pleaded not guilty. Hearing was
set for Monday, April 20, at 3
O'Clock. This is the first case to be

an dentered a plea of not guilty. Trial
