WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Fl.
 The attention of the district court was taken up this morning first in re- ceiving the verdict in the case of the | Territory vs Vicente Mendez, charged | with the robbery of the Lowell Com mercial company store at Lowell dur ing the month of May last. .He was jointly indicted with Febrinio Mar tinez, who was acquitted on yesterday. The jury in this case also brought in a verdict of not guilty, making the fourth acquittal since the trial of the criminal cases began, and so far no conviction has been had.
 The next case called was that of the Territory vs. c. R. Limin, charged ! with burglary alleged to have been committed in Douglas Owing to the absence of a material witness for the prosecution the district attorney moved for a continuance of the case until the next term of the district court in April. This motion was re- sisted by the attorney for the defend ant unless the defendant was released on his own recognizance, which was finally agreed upon.
 In the case of Lopozich vs. Lopo- zich an order was made entering Wm. Kline as party to the suit and order- ing him to be served with copy of the summons and complaint.
 The next case called was that of the Territory vs. c. E. Buster, charged with perjury. Considerable trouble was had in securing jury. as a num- Der of the venire had formed opinions in regard to the case. The following jurors were finally accepted to try the case:
 John F Norton, J A Moore, 0 Wallace, Jas McHugh,
 H H Wiles, Frank Briggs,
 Emil Marks, W Walsh, , T M English, Harry Gibson, John Jones.
 , The prosecution opened its case by presenting the testimony given by { Buster at the time of the trial of the Campbell case, on the 25th of May
 and then followed it up by the testi. mony of several witnesses that Buster was at work at the Junction shaft on the morning ot the 18th of April when he had sworn to have been any eye witness at the shooting at the depot between Campbell and Mclaughlin
 The prosecution then rested it's case and the defense did not introduce any testimony whatever. The case wen, to the jury at 3 o'clock.
 In the case of Edward Smith vs
 Kate Smith, for divorce, continued , for introduction of further testimony The following trial jurors were ex- cused for the term: H NJ Weir, Ben Behrends, R T Lockie, Jno McGregor Ed Crischley, c F Maxwell, Charles
 Booth, W H Witherel, Geo Macis, s R Varney.
 CC Mccoy and F W Littlejohn were excused until the 26th instant.
 The case of the Territory vs Fife Lamb, charged with the murder of f Wm. Barnes at Douglas on the l2th of last June, was taken up and the entire afternoon devoted to securing 8 jury. A number of jurors were dis 7 qualified, some having positives opin- , ions in the case and others having ) conscientious scruples against the } infliction of the death penalty. It is rather doubtful if jury can be se- cured with the present panel and an extra venirs may be ordered issued. 1 There continues to be evidence of 6 continual strife be tween different ,citizens of Cochise county, who are unable to settle their difficulties and are taking the matters ints she dis trict court about as fast as that body can dispose of them. During the past week there have been seven cases filed four of which belong to the divorce class, of which Cochise county has the record of any county in the territory, having more in one term than several of the counties have in 8 year or two.
