IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Judge Evans Convened Court Mon.
day Evening. Breach of Prom
ise Case to be Called Today.

Judge Evans arrived from his home
at Corydon Monday evening and court
convened that evening and the indica-
tions are that there will be plenty Of
business to occupy the balance Of the
two weeks term, the opening of court
having been postponed one week.
The grand jury was drawn for the
term Monday evening, Oliver Hayer be-
ing selected as foreman. the other men,
bers being Aaron Goodman, Lester
Gould, G. 7. Rhoades, J. M. Cronin and
Joseph Bogue. The court appointed
Jap statzell as bailiff and Miss Nora
Dobson clerk.
Nate Craigo is court bailiff, and Hal
Gates jury bailiff. There will be sever
al jury cases tried at this term Of
court, the cases of Thomas Mfg. Co. VS..
T. j. Graves and Warner VS.. Biddison
being assigned for Wednesday, and for
Thursday there is the breach of
promise case of Ettie Ennis vs.. Luther
Bason, in which the plaintiff asks for
$4,000 damages on account of the
defendant failing to fulfill his promise
to marry her. The plaintiff is repres-
ented by g. W. Hoffman and B. M.
Russell and the defendant by A. P.
Olsen and V. R. McGinnis. The case
promises to he hotly contested and
will probably take several days
to try it. Judge Evans has issued an
order for special venire of twelve
extra jurymen and it is thought that a
jury will be secured from these and the
regular panel without trouble. After
this case is tried there are five other
jury cases set for trial at this term and
also number Of equity cases to be
tried to the court, and these will occupy
the time of the court until the close of
the term. The following cases have
