 The day was one of the most event. lul III lSioOl ulolOlS.

 The hearing was set before Justice J. H. Henderson for 10 o'clock Satur- day morning. Early in the day men began to arrive from Clio and from various parts of Grant county, where the sawmill of the Grant Lumber Company is located, in parties Of ten, fifteen and twenty.

Jamieson was accompanied by his wife, who will also be used by the prosecution.
 When the hour of the initial hearing arrived the court room which had been previously robbed of its chairs to accommodate the pupils of one of the Rison public schools, was croWd- ed with eager spectators and inter- ested parties. Justice Henderson was
