Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1906-12-14
IN CIRCUIT COURT.
Shortest Session on Record in
Lincoln County.


Judge l.. T. Harris convened Court
Monday morning at 9 o'clock, ad-
journed at II, got busy again at l p. M,
and closed the session ten minutes
later, the actual running time" being
2 hours and 10 minutes. This estab
fishes new record for Lincoln county
possibly for the world. Toledo hotel
keepers think seriously of having the
Judge arrested for exceeding the speed
limit. Certain lawyers, it is under
stood, are ready to act as attorneys for
the prospective plaintiffs.
There were no jury cases-and we
ought TO be thankful for that.
Attorney John Williams OF Eugene
was present to represent District Attor-
ney George Brown, who was held by
criminal business down in wicked Coos
county, where they are praying for the
40 feet of water promised them by
Walt Tooze. Mr. Williams found no
criminal business lying around loose,
but he cast suspicious glances in sew
eral directions.
Other foreign lawyers present we're
S. NJ. Calkins of Eugene, E. r. Bryson
OF Corvallis and l.. Fl. McMahan of
Salem. Among the missing was w. S.
McFadden OF Corvallis.
Following is the result of the run
