District Court.

\ brief session of Court was held
Monday at the Court house, with
Judge NJ. y. Murphy presiding. The
only business transacted was the con-
firmation of the sale of the Jaynes
estate property. The residence and
stable became the property of Peter
Steffes for 81, 400, and the saloon and
adjoining lot to J. A. Scilacci for
81, 275, being 10 per cent more than the
original figures obtained at the public
sale.
In the matter of issuance of natural
ization papers to three applicants,
His Honor referred them to a decision
or ruling of the State Supreme Court,
which lprecludes him from granting
citizenship papers within sixty days
of the election. This power is vested
in the u. :. Court, consequently the
three applicants were compelled to go
before Judge Hawley, in Carson, for
their papers.
