Other Probate Matters.

In the case of the State of Nevada VS..
VIM. Lloyd, who was indicted by the
last Grand Jury for an attempt to kid
nap and also an attempt OF false i'm
prisonment, (which case was on trial
when we went to press last week. the
jury having been impanelled, and hav-
ing heard the evidence of Mr.. Gaskell
and Ernest Randall for the prosecution,
motion was made by defendant s
counsel to dismiss both charges oD the
ground of insufficiency OF evidence to
sustain the same. Upon consultation
between the attorneys for the State
and defendant 1t was agreed to dismiss
the charges and change the same to
simple assault, TO which latter charge
the defendant pleaded guilty. Under
instructions OF the Court, the jury
brought in verdict finding the de-
fendant guilty OF simple assault. Fri
dag morning the Court fined the de-
fendant $3.50 and costs, which sum has
been paid and the defendant discharged
from all further liability in the case

In the Bonner VS.. Watson case, which
came up Thursday afternoon, the court
room being crowded with spectators.
On motion of the Complainant's coun-

. ~ If IN ~

ing perfectly willing to trust their case
in the hands of Judge Brown, which
is manifestation OF the fareness with
which the new Judge is regarded by
litigants here. Having disposed of all
the jurors for the term, the Court pro-
ceeded with the case In question, the
afternoon and all day Friday being
taken up In the examination of thirteen
witnesses, the taking of testimony and
the interposing OF legal objections by
the respective counsels. Saturday at
9P. NJ. the Court convened and the
complainant's attorney, G. X. Reeves,
opened the argument, devoting more
than an hour to the presentation of his
side OF the case before the Judge. He
was followed by the defendants attor-
ney, c. A. Walker, who confined him
self more closely to the facts In the
case and became less wearisome to the
audience. Attorney Henry Riyes, be-
ing somewhat indisposed, the complain
ants case was also closed by c. r..
Reeves. Itwas ordered by the Court
that the defendants attorney be given
20 days in which to file and serve brief
in the case, and that the plaintiff have
20 days in which to answer the same.
In the matter of the estate OF Thos.

pointment as administrator.

cepted and approved.
In the case OF the guardianship OF

motion to tax interest against the
guardian, Sol Hip, be denied without
prejudice to the right OF Bernardo Siri
