now that the yard will be discon-
tinued as a retail business.

TION CASES
Many Exceptions and Demurrers
Filed by Defense. Without Argu-
ment-Rulings on These Will be
Announced This Morning by Judge

notwithstanding the fact that
the defense claimed that the motion
was of slight Importance, a motion
by the defense, upon the opening Of
court yesterday morning, started an
argument that lasted more than an
hour and a half 1t resulted also in
court adjourning at II o'clock until
9 o'clock this morning.

by Judge Hopkins, had for it's pur-
pose the striking out of trial amend
ments filed by the State Tuesday, in

ceptions and demurrers to file, but
did not desire to argue upon them.
They asked permission of the court
to file without argument, and this
was granted Court was then ad-
journed until this morning, at which
time the decisions Of Judge Hopkins
on the demurrers will be announced
The sheriff was instructed to no
tify the 200 or more witnesses who
had already been summoned that
they must be in court this morning

supposed to report yesterday morn
ing, only few did so. They will be
notified on the mouth to mouth plan.

given more than 200 additional
names of witnesses to be subpoenaed
Yesterday, and was busy making
them out all the afternoon, complet-
ing the work at $50. Sheriff G. t.
Ryan, Chief Deputy Pat Haley. and
three deputies began serving the
summons at o'clock in the af err
noon, and kept the work up until u
o'clock last night. 1t will probably
take two or three days to complete
the work.
In accordance with an agreement
among counsel for both sides at the
last regular term of the district
court, there will be no jury to try
these cases. The decisions will be left
to the court.
