At the session OF the Grand Jury
in October 1903, a number of indict-
ments were returned by that body
against various persons, charged with
allowing minors to loiter about sa.
oons and places where intoxicating
liquors are sold. Owing to the large
amount of business on the docket
Of the Court. only two of these cases,
one of the Territory against e. j.
Bates, and one Of the Territory
against Cora Carroll, have been tried,
these two cases being tried at the
present term of court, and the first re
sulting in disagreement of the jury,
which means that the case will have
to be again tried, and that Of the Ter
ritory against Cora Carrof9 resulting
in verdict of guilty, with the recon-
mendation by the jury that the Gle
mency of the Court be extended to
the defendant in passing The sentence
On December first, the defendant was
brought into Court to receive her
