at 10 O'Clock Tuesday forenoon with

Rev. John Evans Bold, rector of St.
Stephens Episcopal church, made the
opening prayer, after which the procla-
nation for the opening of the county
court and court of chancery were
made by Sheriff Oln A. Smith of Ad-
Olson. The number of attorneys from
out of town was not so large as usual at
the opening of the morning session,
probably for the general reason that it
was pretty we'll understood that no i'm
portant case would be started on the
first day. The out of town lawyers who
appeared were Judson E. Cushman and
A. /. Sherman of Burlington, Frank
L. Fish and Frank w. Tuttle of Yer
gennes, p. M.Meldon of Rutland, John
J. Enright and n. G. Leary of Burling-
ton, and Jasper G.. Page and Murray
Bourne of Bristol
The forenoon was taken up with the
calling Of the general law docket and
the cases on the jury calendar. Owing
to the absence of a number of attorneys
in different cases, several Of the
cases were passed and left open
for the present, and the first case
on the jury calendar, namely H. c. Pot
ter VS. |. n. Chase, was passed for the
reason that Judge Butler was of counsel
in the case before elected to the bench
and so was disqualified to sit, but
another Judge will come to hear the
case later in the term. The important
case In re the will of Columbus Smith,
Anna N. Perry, appellant, an appeal
from the probate court, was also passed
temporarily. These cases on the jury
