COURT HAS ADJOURNED
JUDGE Maxwell Adjourned Court Last
Friday After Being in Session .
Nearly -Four Weeks.

Friday and returned to his home at
Creston to visit over Sunday before
going to Mt. Ayr to commence court
in that city. Court was in session at
Leon for almost four weeks and
great deal of business was trans,
acted, several important cases being
tried and large number of others
were settled, SO that quite bit OF
headway was made in clearing up the
docket, which had become badly
crowded on account of the many fptg
criminal cases which have been tried
during the past year and which have
occupied the most of the time OF the
court. 4
The following cases were disposed
of since our report last week:

dictment charging him with giving
liquor to a minor, and was fined $25

The case was tried to a jury on
Thursday, being prosecuted by coun-
ty attorney E. H. Sharp and the de-
fendant was represented by c. w.
Hoffman and V. r. McGinnis. Quite
a large number of witnesses were
used and nearly all of them testified
they had bought whiskey from Oscar
Teller, who was indicted with his
father, but skipped out before he
could be arrested, but only one wit
ness testified he had purchased
liquor of C. Teller. The case was
given to the jury Thursday evening
at six O'Clock and four hours later
they returned verdict of guilty.
