7 WO CASES
DRAG OUT
Attorney Peterson for defendant said

Attorney Peterson for defendant raid
1t would take an hour to put in the
rest of his evidence in the Kay vs.
Within damage case. Attorney Dunno
for plaintiff urged the finishing Of evil
dence before the court adjourned yes
terday. Judge Robinson only wished
/, to avoid having the case lap over into
the new term, when he would have to
look after the criminals. He observed
that there We're only 2S days in Febru-
AIRY this year. Mr.. Peterson was as
deslrous as anybody else of seeing the
trial ended soon, but did not want to
be hurried in closing his clients case.
The court adjourned a few minutes to
o'clock Most likely the case will go
to the jury today.
ANOTHER SLOW CASE.
c. b. Male was on the stand yes
terday second time in his case against
]. w Pratt. Mr.. Magoon cross-exam-
ined him at length He admitted he
was mistaken in his previous evidence
when he said that at the time the ex-
ecution for taxes was served on him
he had a quantity of salmon at his
fish market stand. On referring to his
salmon license he found the time was
different. This evidence referred to a
contention by plaintiff that when his
real property was sold for taxes he
owned personal property that ought
first to have been levied on.
Witness told of conversation he had
with Mr.. Magoon in the latter's office
about a proposal to lease piece of
it. The only reason he rejected Mr..
Magoons proposal was that the rent
offered was too small.
At o'clock Mr.. Ashford said he had
two more witnesses for plaintiff and
suggested an adjournment to $3.50 this
morning. One of the witnesses had
gone away, having been told the court
would adjourn at 4 o'clock.
Judge De Bolt said other matters
were set for this morning at the hour
named and, after some talk, another
witness was called.
As Judge De Bolt has the civil calen-
dar of next term in charge, and only
today and tomorrow left before term
opening, he also is anxious not to have
any important matter in hand lap
over.
