on,

At the time of going to press last
Wednesday the case of the State Of
Iowa VS.. Mrs. Charles Larson was
being tried, on an indictment with an
intent to commit murder, her hus-
band being the victim. The case
occupied about two days time.
Thursday afternoon at four o'clock
the jury went out to deliberate, and
reached a verdict of not guilty, about
eleven p. m. Friday and Saturday and
up to noon yesterday the case of
Rev. V. A. Duda VS.. Augustin kolOc
was being tried. This case was over
the non-payment of a promissory
note, Rev. Duda bringing action
against Koloc to recover his money
on the note. The case seemed to be
somewhat mudded from the start,
and was settled yesterday, between
the parties concerned without going
to the jury. Yesterday afternoon
the personal injury case of Andrew
Carolan VS.. William Gaul was called
and is now being tried. There il
considerable work left yet and court
bids fair to be in session the rest Of
