KIOWA COURT
HAS CLOSED
Vast Amount of Business Has
Been Accomplished.
TERM LASTED FIVE WEEKS
Sheriff and Deputies Rode
Thousands of Miles.

Guthrie, o. T, Oct. 5.-District court
for Kiowa county has just closed, and
the Hobart News-Repuhiican sums up
the vast amount of business transacted
as follows:
The amount of work done at the present
term OF the district court is not easily
conceived by those VIII are not familiar
with the workings OF these institutions
1t will be remembered that the term
began five weeks ago. In this time there
have been heard and determined one
hundred and six civil cases. Seventy
seven territorial and seventeen United
States indictments were returned by the
grand jury.
There have been tried and determined
three murder trials: Joe Mobley, whose
trial consumed four days Of the TERM
TAYLOR, two days; and Turner. whose
case was determined yesterday, ten days
The work of the clerks was exceeding
lv heavy. OF the bond records alone there
we're made 449 pages; of journal entries
IA: Of indictments, 220; of complete re-
cords. l57; of naturalization 70; ana OF

This does not include the labor @- The
sheriff and his deputies. who have rid
den thousands of miles to summon VIII
nesses and jurors. besides seeking Grim
inals who were wanted in this county
TO answer the charges preferred against
them.
The cost of this term of court can not
at the present time be approximated'
but suffice It TO say that it will cost the
taxpayers of the county several thousand
dollars.
Judge Giilett has been most jealous in
expediting the work before the court
and TO his energy and precision is due

posed of during the term that has just

at the time Of the first report made by
the mine inspector Tor the Indian terri
