winter will be a severe one. He says.
The second storm period in December
extends from the to IL, having its
center on the 8. 1t is calculated that
very general and severe winter storms
will visit most parts of the country
from the Z to II. These storms may
come over from the proceeding period
in a spell of prolonged, threatening
weather. A full grown. December cold

Sentenced TO $500 fine and Costs -Spdse
0'NeiI is Presiding

On Tuesday at the opening of the
circuit court DR.. O'Brien was arraigned
upon the charge of administering drugs
and using instruments upon the person
of Anna Olson with intent to procure
miscarriage, and he entered g plea of
guilty. District Attorney Bennett in
sisted upon the extreme penalty of the
law while c. l.. Hood, attorney for the
defendant, pleaded for leniency for his
client, claiming he was broken in
health and a wreck both mentally and
physically Judge James O'Neil, who
is presiding in place of Judge Fruit,
sentenced the prisoner to pay fine of
$500 and costs of prosecution or stand
committed to the county Jail not to
exceed six months. The fine and costs
were paid and the prisoner was dis
charged, thus putting an end 10 the
suit which has attracted widespread
interest in this and adjoining counties.
Judge Fruit was unable to take his
station as presiding Judge at this term
owing to illness, it is said, on account
of severe cold.
Indications are that the term will be
short one, as many of the calend ir

tinued until next spring. The case of
