COURT HAS ADJOURNED
Business Before March Term is Very
Light. No Witnesses Appear
Before the Grand Jury.

Judge Towner adjourned court last
Wednesday evening on account of there
being no cases ready for trial and
returned to his home at Corning, coming
back to this city again Monday evening
to complete the business of the term.
and the final adjournment was made at
noon Wednesday.
The grand jury made record for this
county last week, something which has
not happened for many years. They
were in session but one day, and not a
single witness was subpoenaed before
them, and of course there were no in
dictments returned.
The cases against r.. l.. and o. l..
liigdon the two young men who live
south of Pleasanton who were indicted
for cutting Orson Lovett in fight at
Pleasanton Christmas eve, were settled
without trial, r. l.. Higdon pleading
guilty to the charge of assault with
intent to commit great bodily injury,
and his brother, o. l.. Higdon, plead
guilty to charge of assault and battery.
Judge Towner imposed fine of $3.50 and
costs against r. l.. Higdon and fine of
500 and costs against o. L. Higdon and
both the defendants paid the fine at
once and were discharged from custody
and their bond released. tbs fortunate
for the county that these cases have
been settled for the county is thus saved
a big bill of costs.
In the cases of Fred Gould and T. M.
charges of inebriacy had been filed, were
continued.
