DISTRICT COURT
Jury Returns Verdict of Aggravated
Assault in Case Of William Rob-
inson--Five Divorces.

The district court is still grinding
out justice in the cases coming up on
the criminal docket The case of the
State VS.. William Robinson. charged
with assault with intent to murder,
took up most of the time of the court
yesterday afternoon, and the jury re-
turned verdict of aggravated assault
and Robinson was fined $50.
The case of the State VS.. Jim Van
Duren, charged with burglary, was
called today and the defendant plead
ed guilty and was given a sentence
OF two years in the penitentiary.
The case of the State VS.. j. II.
Wyant, charged with embezzlement on
two counts, set for hearing today, was
called and postponed until October 2.
The following divorces were grant.
ed yesterday and this morning.
Julia Lamar VS.. Dave Lamar.
Annie Brown VS.. Felix Brown.
Lottie Kyle VS.. Hawkins Kyle
Nettie Nash VS.. Isaac Nash.
Pearl Linton VS.. Lonnie Linton.
The case of Jack Williams, charged
with murder in the second degree,
was the next case called and will oc.
cupy the time of the court this after
noon. The difficulty in obtaining wit
nesses is proving great inconven-
ience to the court. The cotton picking
takes them to different sections of the
county, and they are difficult to locate,
and consequently more or less delay
can not be avoided.
Judge Scott has not yet rendered
his decision in the election contest
case, and will probably not deliver it
before next Monday.

Developing.

Mrs. McKibben identified Sneed as
the man who rented the room from
her. She said at no time did she see

member the Almighty God and how
easy it is to disappear from the earth.
After this remember your greatest of

term, over 200 open air schools and
fresh air classes for tuberculous, and
anaemic children, and also for all chill
dren In certain rooms and grades, will
be in operation in various parts Of the
United States, according to the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. All Of these
schools have been established since
January, 1907, when the first institu-
ton of this character was opened in
Providence, r. /. On January 1st,
1910, there were only 13 open air
schools in this country and year
later the number had increased only
to 29. Thus. the real growth in this
movement has been within the last
two years. Massachusetts now leads
the states with sc fresh air schools
and classes for tuberculous, anaemic

alone having over so. New York comes
