WILL ADJOURN TODAY
Judge Burnett Holds Busy Session
of Circuit Court for Polk County.

Judge Burnett in Dallas, Monday
morning. The session is a busy one
and the attendance of citizens from
all parts of the county is larger thar
for many years past No grand jury
was called, and only two crimina
cases were on the docket for trial. The
bailiffs appointed by Judge Burnett
are Hardy Holman, of Dallas, anG
J. H. Moran, of Monmouth.
J. L. DeYoung pleaded guilty to the
charge Of robbing the store Of Eakin
& Dick, at Rickreall, and was
sentenced to serve a year in the peni-
tentiary. DeYoung was the accomplice
of another man, and both entered the
store in which is kept a postoffice.
DeYoung was captured in Portland,
but his companion escaped the officers.
A trial was held in the Federal court
in Portland, and DeYoung was sent
up for six months. When his term Of
Imprisonment expired, Sheriff Ford of
Polk county arrested him at the prison
door, and he was brought to Dallas to
await trial on charge of larceny in
a store.
F. S. Garrison, of Falls City, was
tried for stealing a quantity of chit
tim bark from J. S. Courter's barn in
Falls City and was found guilty as
charged in the Indictment. The trial
developed the fact that Garrison sold
the bark to Courier and afterwards
stole it and brought it to Dallas, where
he sold it to 7, A. Riggs. The evil
dence Of his guilt was so clearly
established in the minds of the jury
men that they were only a few
minutes in reaching a verdict. Garri-
son appears to be a harmless, weak
minded individual, and evidently took
no pains to cover up the evidences of
his crime. He will be sentenced by
Judge Burnett at o'clock this
morning.
All the jury cases to be tried
this term have been disposed Of, and
court will probably adjourn today
