Calendar of March Term Of Cir.
cult Court Issued by Clerk
Waldo This Afternoon
CRIMINAL CASES OF INTEREST
John Bradley to be Tried for Murder
and Charles Loescher for Crimi-
nal Assault at Term Open
ing Next Monday

Clerk of the Circuit Court Frank
Waldo has sent to the printers the
copy for the calendar for the annual
March term of the Circuit Court which
will open ON next Monday and unless
there are lot of cases which are not
on the calendar the term will be a
short and uninteresting one with the
exception of few Of the opening days
of the term which will be given over
to the trial of the criminal cases. In
comparison with the big calendars at
the two terms of the court last year
the calendar for the coming term is ex-
ceedingly small. There are but forty
one cases of any nature noticed for
trial and the greater part of them are
unimportant. The trial Of them will
take in most cases, but a few hours at
the most
There are fourteen cases on the
criminal docket and it is expected that
most Of these will be tried. Two or
three of the defendants now in Jail
awaiting trial on minor charges are
expected to plead guilty when the
court sits and with the exception of
the murder trial, that of the State VS..
John Bradley, and the trial Of Charles
Loescher, charged with criminal as
sault this calendar has little Of an ex-
citing nature to offer. The trial of
Bradley and the trial of Loescher will
undoubtedly be Of considerable inter
est. District Attorney Baker has been
busy getting evidence against Bradley
since his arrest in Denver many months
ago and it is understood that he will
make a strong case against him. Brad
ley is charged with the murder Of Cliff
ford Smith on the Berryville road in
July 1906. The relatives Of Bradley
have provided for his defense and it
is expected that every possible effort
will be made to secure his freedom.
The trial of Loescher will be of more
interest than the murder trial on &C
count of the fact that Loescher is so
widely known in Kenosha. Loescher
is going to make fight for his liberty
and the police and the district attor-
rest securing the evidence in the case.
Attorney Calvin Stewart will defend
both Bradley and Loescher.
A case of some interest to the peo-
pie in the eastern part of the county
is the trial of Henry Hartnell, who is
charged with attempting to burn down
lumber yard at Salem. This case
has been pending for long time and
Attorney George Taylor will defend
Hartnel.
The twenty cases on the jury calen-
dar of a civil nature are mostly little
cases taken from the Justice Court
The most important are the personal
damage suits brought by the estate OF
John E. Hall and Nicholas r. Wade
against the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway Company and the suit brought
by Margaret Krisor against the city
of Kenosha. Two suits are on the
calendar in which the Kenosha Elec
trio Railway Company is named as g
defendant. Both are suits for materi
al purchased under the Frost manage
ment and it is expected that they will
be settled out of court. The calendar
has but two divorce cases and both
of these are to be tried by the court
and not by the jury.
The monotony of the term may be
broken in the second week when Judge
Ludwig will come to Kenosha to hear
the suit of John Mensforth VS.. The
Chicago Brass Company, This is one
of the suits on the September calen
dar that was not disposed of during
that long term.
