A review of the work that has been accomplished during the present term of court which is rapidly drawing to a close and of which there will be but one or two days more sessions for the term show that the court has had before it during ! the term in both civil and criminal cases 40 different causes of action. On the district court side of the court on the criminal calendar there wssEa ssEaIhirty-three cases tried, which resulted rSsffourteen of the defendants being sent to1rhe territorial prison at Yuma; three So serve terms in the county jail and the balance fined, while | there were few cases in which the | jury brought in Yerdicts Of not guilty. There were dismissed from the docket seventeen cases or motion of the dis | trict attorney, a majority of these be- ling appeal cases from the various justice courts. There were continued to the next term seventeen eases. l On the United States side of the court there were eleven cases up be- fore the court to be heard, of these seven were dismissed by the action of the grand jury and the motion of the United States attorney, while two were tried and two continued until next term.
 On the civil side of the district court there was called up to the at tention of the court 342 cases in which some disposition was made. Of this number 150 were continued for the term and 69 dismissed on motion of the parties to the cases. There were l 123 cases that were tried before the court and some of them took several | days in which to try the issues in- yOlved and some of them had consid- erable property as we'll as money in- yolved.

Several were dismissed, the parties becoming reconciled and the others were continued for the term. not having been ready for trial as in number of instances the service had not been complete.
