BANK CASES w OVER
UNTIL NOVEMBER TERM

| Judge G. c. Holbrook arrived from
Alamosa last evening and upon the
convening Of district court at 10 this
morning was called to preside by
Judge Pike. The first thing was the
calling Of the case against B. N. Free.
man by the district attorney. Willis
A. Reese, Of counsel for defense, then
presented an application for continu-
ance based on the ground that as
Judge Garrigues has taken jurisdic-
tion and set the cases for trial and
then the cases were continued that
Judge Pike was without Jurisdiction SO
far as bringing a new judge and fix

Judge Holbrook

sci and had much of the case in hand
1t would be impossible to go to trial
without impairing the rights of defend

sulting with Judge Pike, Judge Hol-
brook granted the motion for continu-
ance, 1t being arranged that Judge Hol-
brook will exchange places with Judge
Pike in November, both terms meeting
at the same time.
Court then took recess until 2
o'clock.
This afternoon the demurrers to the
new informations filed against Messrs.
Freeman, Chapman and Eldredge were
overruled and defendants waived ar

An order was agreed to whereby
the receiver will advertise the assets
