The case of Cooper VS. State-in other
words the attempted prosecution of a
man named Cooper who is charged with
criminal assault girl in Silver Lake |
has been POSTPONED until tomorrow morn |

at Silver Lake who heard the hearing |
came to ToDeka to make out his transcript
and when it was turned over to the court |
it was seen that it lacked little of the |

be given this afternoon to make out his |
transcript in Silver Lake township and |
then the trial can go on without any |
trouble.
