Judge Reed ordered a new jury to be summoned to sit on the case, the present one being excused until June 15, when court will go to Put nam.

 The first case to be held next Tues day, when court comes in here, Is that of Lester H. Burnham vs. Frank H. Deming; the next is George c. Top liff's appeal from probate. The case of Katherine More vs. Philip More is first for June and Sumner B. Hillard ys. Peter St. George is second.
 That of the Uncas Power company of the death of Frank T. Brown, an attorney for the company.
 Four cases to the jury were assign ed for trial at Putnam, June 15 and 16 Attorney King would not agree to have that of Morris Kaplon vs. Lo- rin G. Bosworth, which is a jury case, go to Putnam, and 1t was not assigned as result.
 Another Delay in Ross Estate Case. A strong endeavor was made by Att torney King, who represents Mrs. Will liam Ross, the executrix of the es- tate of her husband, to have the James M. Grant appeal from probate as- signed for trial. MT. King said that trial, realizing that Attorney Capen, who appears with Attorney Hunter for the opposition. was ill and had been for a number of weeks, but said that he very much desired to have the case tried at this term, as two of the prin- cipal witnesses, who are MT. and Mrs. Walter E. Clark. would be obliged to leave for Alaska early in September, MT. Clark having been appointed gov- ernor of that territory, and their evil dence in the cast was most import ant.
 Attorney Hunter stated that MT. Ca- pen is senior counsel in the case and was unable to go on with it, saying that while he was present in court but in no condition to work, and had not been for some time. Judge Reed asked Mr. Capen if he Ahought he could take up the matter within three weeks and the latter replied that his physician told him that he must not do anything for at least four weeks, and the court stated that under the circumstances he did not wish to force Mir. Capen out of the case, and would therefore not assign the case for trial. Attorney King then asked the court if he would assign the case as a later date providing MT. Capen recovered so that he could continue in the case. Judge Reed replied that he would.
 Court was then adjourned until Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
