other court costs by March LIST or the
case would be dismissed. This it is
alleged he failed to do, and Attorneys
Spangler and Hitchcock had a brief
argument on the proposition just be-
fore the noon hour. Most of the
other cases will come to trial, either
for the court, by jury or before a
referee.
In the criminal cases State Attor-
ney Spangler read the information
filed against William B. Holmes,
charged with uttering a forged check.
He was given until tomorrow to con-
suit with an attorney. Henry Nico-
%laison, charged with an assault to do
bodily harm, will plead tomorrow.

has appeared in trial several times
on the charge of conducting house i'll
fame, was not touched upon other

At the last term Of court Madame
Kelley was too i'll to be brought in to
court, and her case was adjourned

heard by a referee. That Of Berry

That the airship is to be the doom OF
the warship is the absolute conviction
of every man who ever went up in

past his backyard. And the aeronauts
themselves are so sure about it that
there can be no argument with them.
