THE DISTRICT COURT
List Of Last Of Cases Finally Dis
posed Of During the Term
Just Closed.
THE CLOSE OF A QUIET TERM
Several Offenders against the Law
Arc Sentenced to Terms in
the Penitentiary.

Hon. Frank w. Parker, pre-
siding Judge of the fifth judicial
district, adjourned the regular
June term of court for Socorro
county Thursday. Judge Parker
and his corps OF efficient court
officials are entitled to generous
credit for the manner in which
they disposed of all business
that claimed their attention.
That much is conceded by
every body, but the verdicts rem
dered by the iuries in one or two
cases are meeting with very
severe criticism. 1t is hoped
that there will be less cause for
complaint on this score at the
next term of court.
The last of the cases finally
disposed of during the term are
as follows:
