DREW AGAINST CITY
FIRST JURY CASE
Will be Called in the District Court
to be Followed by Case Against
Power Company.

The petit jury for the September
term of the district court reported to
Judge Hamilton at two o'clock this
afternoon. Because of the fact that
great many of the jurors had been
excused, the panel was rather small.
There being no jury cases ready for
trial this afternoon Judge Hamilton
excused the jurors until ten o'clock
tomorrow morning.
The attorneys were also called at
two O'Clock to determine the status
Of the jury trial cases. It was found
that most OF the cases which had been
placed upon the assignment list could
not be tried The case Of Drew VS..
the city Of Keokuk was reported for
trial and this will probably be the
first jury case, being called tomorrow.
The case of Loomis VS.. the Missis-
sippi River Power company was also
allowed to stand for trial but prob
ably will not be tried this week.
The criminal docket will not be
called until October IA and 1t is
hoped that some OF the civil Jury
cases may be disposed Of before that
time.
