are Here.

al AAGhS
Circuit court opened for Forest coun-
ty Tuesday morning. Some motions
were heard by Judge Quinlan during
the forenoon. At ten O'Clock work be-
gan upon the criminal calendar, the
first case being that of the State vs..
Emil Monte, charged with taking inde-
cent liberties with girl thirteen years
of age. So little evidence was given
against Monte that the jury consumed
less than fifteen minutes in deliberat-
ing, bringing in verdict of mot gull
ty." The parties are Blackwell people.
Archie Hay, charged with assault
with attempt to rape had shown so
many symptoms of insanity that the
Judge ordered an examination into his
mental condition. Three physicians
declared him insane and he was given
free ride to the state hospital for the
| insane.
Wesley King, charged with an assault
with intent to rape, failed to appear in
court and his bonds were declared for
feited.
In the case of Herbert Duca, charged
with assault with intent to do great
bodily harm, a settlement was made
Ed Clark, of Eland Junction, held for
larceny from the person, was tried and
acquitted Wednesday, The complain
ing witness swore that Clark had stolen
ten dollars from him. AS the evidence
was slight and showed among other
things that Clark left over four hundred
dollars in the complainant's pockets he
was acquitted. 1t appeared that the
parties to the action were all drunk;
one of them missed ten dollars and the
crowd tried to make Clark the goat.
Wednesday afternoon was taken up
with the trial of an action brought by
H. Deaton against the Wisconsin Fruit
Package Company. The jury were all
Wednesday night deliberating and only
arrived at verdict for the Package
Company at nine o'clock Thursday
morning.
The personal injury case of D. Cas-
tonguay VS.. the Wisconsin Fruit Pack
age Company was set for trial on
Thursday. The filing of an offidavit of
prejudice against Judge Quinlan caused
the court to call in Judge Goodland of
Appleton to sit in the case, which is
now on trial. James A. Walsh is the
plaintiffs attorney, Williams & Stern
of Milwaukee, are the attorneys for the
Fruit Package Company.-The Forest
Republican.
Dist Atty. J. 7. Sims returned from
Crandon Monday, the criminal cases
on the circuit court calendar having
been disposed of.
In the liquor license case of VIM.
Koch of Carter, the facts were stipu-
lated to the court and the decision will
be rendered later. By the agreement
Mr.. Koch agrees to waive trial by a
jury and to abide by the decision of the
court based on the facts and records
in the case. The parties were ordered
to file briefs. The case depends on the
validity of the Baker saloon license
law.
Mr.. Koch was granted a license by
the town board but the State contends
that under the Baker law the board
had no authority to grant the license.
The case is similar to one from Mil
waukee which was argued in Supreme
court few days ago. Judge Quinlan
will announce his decision after the
Supreme court hands down its decision
in the Milwaukee case.
John Christ, who burglarized the
Prickett store and dwelling at Padus,
was given three years in states prison.
