In anticipation of hearing Frank
Kethman make his plea to the indict-
ments charging him with the murder
or Dr. Egge on the night of Sept g.,
there was a large crowd assembled in
the district court room this morning,
and the number was supplemented by
a large number of persons who had
come to the city as petitioners or witt
nesses in connection with the issuance
of final citizen papers, Judge Taylor
having set today for that purpose.
There was, however, disappointment
as case which was begun Saturday
afternoon Nathan K Harris VS.. Ida
Christensen, was the first business to
be taken up and that consumed all Of
the time of the court up to the noon
adjournment, when 1t was ready for
the judges charge and that was de-
ferred until after dinner. Late this
afternoon the jury returned verdict
in favor OF the defendant.
Before announcing the noon adj
jcurnment Judge Taylor gave notice
that all parties interested in the is

very little while afterwards.
The indications. according to Sheriff
Whaley, at noon, were that II would
be late this afternoon before Kethman
was taken into court to make his plea,
pursuant to adjournment from last
Friday.
The case tried this morning, Harris
VS.. Christensen, related to the validity
of certain option contract secured
from the defendant, Mrs Christensen.
The latter claims that she attached
her signature to the paper in ques-
ton with the proviso that her hus-
bands consent must be obtained. but
ultimately that was not done. The
proviso is not admitted by the plain
tiff. The quarter section OF land in
question is alleged to be of greater
value tnan was stipulated at the time
the defendant is said to have con-
scented ofthe option, that 1t is under

inherited by the defendant. 1t is SAID
the case possesses some fine points
of law relating to option contracts and
