IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Disposition of Various Matters by
Judge and jury.


subject to recall. This being the last
term OF court this year the 1909 grand
Jury venire is through its duties, a
new venire being drawn for each year.
But one Indictment was returned Fri
day evening, and it is an old one in
which new charges are embodied, the
defendant however, having not yet
been placed in custody, the indictment
has not been made public. Herman
Westercamp, Ed Simmons and William
Knowler. against whom charges had
been filed which we're submitted to the
grand jury for investigation, were dis
charged and sureties on their bonds
released as the grand jury found no
bill in either case.
Judge Willcockson adjourned court
Friday evening until next Monday af-
ternoon so that he might return to his
home in Sigourney over Sunday.
The district court is still grinding
away on the non-jury business of the
term and the docket will be compar-
atively clean before the date for the
Jury work, Dec. 20, arrives. This
morning was principally occupied
with arguments on the Leighton
school house case in which an effort
is being made to have the Injunction,
which has existed for a number of
years, restraining the erection of the
proposed new school house, modified
and dissolved, so that the work may
progress. The grounds upon which
the Injunction was obtained was that
consent of nearby property owners
had not been secured. Since that
time the town has been legally incor-
porated and the legal conditions have
changed, so it is said Among mat
tiers disposed of on the civil calendar
