From Tuesdays Daily.
The June term of the district court
opened at ten O'Clock this forenoon,
with seventy nine civil cases on the cal
endar, and the prospect for term that
will last into July. No criminal cases
came over from the last term of court,
but the grand jury is expected to turn
out some business. 1t has enough cases
before it to take up its time for about
two days. When the roll was called
at eleven o'clock only John Mcnamara
of LeTay was absent, aside from G..
Wendlandt of Vernon Center, upon
whom no service could be gotten, as he
is absent in Europe. No applications
for excuses from serving were made, and
Judge Cray appointed I. c. Peart fore
man. The jury received the usual in
structions from the court. Nothing was
said about investigating the gambling
eases, any more than what might be
cons trued from the general instructions
given. The jury retired and took up its
business at once.
