to the best nearby duck shooting
spot they can call to mind.
Duck season will end aJnuary l.,
Just two months earlier than
usual. The law bringing this about
has been framed because of the
fact that duck shooting will be-
come rapidly scarce In this district
In the next few years with a con-
tinuation of the late spring shoot

Afternoon session.

At 1880 this afternoon court recon
vened and Attorney D. F. Miller re-
sumed his closing argument for the
prosecution. During his argument he
took occasion to deny the allegations
OF the defendants attorneys that
Mayme Grant had been instructed as
to her testimony on the stand. He re.
cited many features of the case at
length and told of the preparations
for the wedding and the plans the girl
had made. He brought out the point
that French had been suspicious in
all Of his actions, that he had gone
by an assumed name, had lied to her
about going to Mexico and about
going to marry her.
Mr.. Miller stated that this is one
OF the few cases in the code in which
the plaintiff and defendant can settle
and the law thus allayed but that
French had refused to marry.
