Dismissed on Mctioa.

District court convened at ten
o'clock this forenoon, with long CAL
endar, including seventy-four civil
cases and two criminal cases besides
any that the grand jury may turn
out. Sheriff Donahue has appointed
w. H. Anderson and Charles Rus
sell bailiffs for the term, to serve
both the grand and petit juries.
The grand jury has but two cases
to investigate, but both are impor.
tant. The case against Miller and his
half sister, Miss LaFavor, charged with
incest, and the case against Ed Evans
and wife are the only cases to come
up, so far as is known.
The first case on the criminal cal
endar was that of the State against
George Knapp of Madison Lake, who
is serving sentence on another charge.
County Attorney Plymat moved that
this case be dismissed, and the court
so ordered. He said that it was an
oversight that he did not make this
motion at the last term.
The case of the State VS.. Willie
Schultz was set for trial by jury.
1t is an appeal from justice court,
where Schultz was convicted of assault
in the third degree U. G. Argetsinger
is attorney for the defendant. County
Attorney Plymat will prosecute the
case, although the state was repre-
sented by T. NJ. Koegan in the justice
court.

ed for trial by jury at the prelimi-
