ments, but several of the indicted
and their names cannot be made
public. They returned indictments
for murder in the second degree
ing of T. T. Stephens at Davis City
City, for the killing of Willis c.
WoOdard.
There were several cases tried be-
fore Judge Evans on Tuesday where
application had been made for sup
port of widows and dependent chill
dren under the new widows pension
law which was enacted by the last
legislature. Judge Evans heard the
evidence and took the matter under
advisement, saying he wanted to be
very careful in the matter, as if pen
sions were not looked after very
carefully there would be an expense
of at least $4,000 year in this
county within short time, for the
taxpayers to pay.
