CIRCUIT COURT
AGAIN CONVENED
MUCH BUSINESS BEFORE
THE SPRING SESSION
One Indictment Already Returned by
Grand Jury Against Fred Hook
Charged With Forging Name of
Mayor Murphy-Douglas Belts Wins
Against Brother-LiquOr Cases
Brought Up Tomorrow Grand
Jury Investigating Others.

One indictment returned bY the
grand jury and one case tried in
court is the record of the first day
of the adjourned session of the spring
term of the circuit court for Umatilla
county. Fred Hook, charged with
forging the name of Mayor Murphy
to a check is the man indicted by the
grand jury, while the case of Doug
lass Belts versus P. Belts, his brother,
was the case tried. This was a suit
to recover money loaned
In addition to the fact that this
was case of brother suing brother,
the trial was interesting because Of
the fact that through a falling out
with his attorney, the defendant tried
his own case. James A. Fee had been
engaged to defend P. Belts and when
the defendant announced this morning
that he would try the case himself,
those in the court room Immediately
proceeded to give II some attention.
Much to their surprise, however, the
defendant was not in the least en-
barrassed and conducted the case
quite as we'll as an attorney might
have done through the verdict Of the
jury was against him. His brother
was awarded a judgment of s429.50.
The case was not argued as Col.
Raley, representing Douglass Belts,
waived the opening argument. p.
Belts Immediately followed suit by
waving argument also and the case
was given to the jury.
Liquor Case Tomorrow.
Tomorrow the Athena liquor case
will be up for trial, Grant Of the firm
of Grant & Redfield, being the de-
fendant. Both men were jointly in
dicted by the grand jury but Redfield
escaped to Canada and has not been
apprehended.
The grand jury is now investigating
the case against the three men ac-
cused of cracking the safe in the
store of Sim Culley at Weston and Of
setting fire to the place. 1t is be-
lieved their indictment is assured and
the true bill will be reported this eve-
ming or the first thing tomorrow.
Owing to the fact that Jacob Shu-
bert is still confined to his home as
the result IF his wound, it is not con-
sidered probable tina the grand jury
will investigate the killing of H E
Dixon by Mike Ryan, near Milton.
Thursday evening, This will proba-
bly, go over to the next term of court.
