DISTRICT COURT NOTES.
Court Practically Winds Up It's Business
This morning.

District Court, after a session of
four weeks, will adjourn finally to-
morrow morning. Theonly remain
ing business to be done is the
adoption Of the minutes.
The grand jury brought in three
billsof indictment this morning, one
against Earnest Allison, charged
with assault with intent to murder,
one against Angel Barbosa for the
theft of horse and one for aggra-
waited assault, there being no arrest
in the last case.
The grand jury made verbal re-
port on the affdavits made here
tofore against the tewelve negro
soldiers now being heldin Fort Sam
Houston, there being no bills found
against any of them. This action
was certified to by Judge Stanley
WEIGH to the commanding officer
at Brown, who will doubtless re-
port same to the commanding Of
fcer at Fort Sam Houston who
will have the soldiers released. We
learn that after several weeks in
vestigation the jury was unable to
identify any of the guilty parties
and the cases were referred to the
next grand jury.
Andres Martinez, charged with
murder, was admitted to bail on
habeas corpus proceedings.
The court appointed jury COM
missioners as follows: J. J. Cooke,
R. StillnIau and Louis Cowen, who
will select jurors for the second,
third and fourth weeks, and also
one hundred men as special venire
men.
The motion docket was entirely
disposed of after which court took
recess until to morrow morn
ing.
Only two convictions have been
made this term, and appeals were
taken in both cases.
