JUDGE FELAND
Lost Keys and Jurors Could
Not be Drawn.

A dispatch from Hickman says:
"On the third Monday Of this month
Fulton County Circuit Court will
convene here. For the first time in
many years the court will have no
petit or grand jury to open the ju-
dicial ball. and the householder"
will have no fear of Sheriffs catch
ing him unawares between now and
that date and serving a summons
for jury service. Under ordinary
circumstances the jury list is placed
in the hands of the sheriff twenty
days before court convenes, but
when the court opens this month the
usual congregation of prospective
jurymen, pleading for dismissal, will
not be on hand. This state of affairs
is due to the fact that during the
May term of court the five keys to
the jury wheel were lost by Special
Judge Feland, at the branch court
at Fulton, this county, and list of
jurors could not be drawn for the
next term, according to law. 1t
would be small task to break into
the wheel, but no local officer has
the authority to do so. The only
thing that can be done now is to
wait until court convenes and open
the box or wheel in open court, and
this authority is vested only in the
presiding Judge. Sheriff Johnson
and deputies will then get busy"

ITALIAN MYS7ER|OUS[Y
STABBED IN OLD TOWN


Abraham Savrrid, an Italian la
borer, was seriously stabbed early
this morning at North Thirtieth
and Carr streets. When officer
Mills discovered the man he was
in serious condition, having a
number of deep gashes across his
abdomen. An ambulance was
called and he was rushed to the
Fannie Paddock hospital.
Savrrid cannot speak English,
and little or no particulars could
be gained as to who his assail-
ant was.
Detectives placed on the case
were able to gather from Ambrose
Ambrose that man named Gasha
was known to have been with
Savrrid last evening, and suspi-
cion was fastened upon him. He
is known to have worked in the
smelter, though up to the present
time the officers have been unable
to locate him.
The trouble occurred about 5
o'clock this morning. Little hope
is held out for Savrrid's- recovery.
