LAST week OF
MARCH TERN
Case of Lester Sutton. & Sone W The
J. p. Auto Co. Concluded Friday
Jury Finally Disagreed.
NICHOLSON CASE IS NOW ON
Present Case Will Probably Last Day
o. So Vet, and May Interfere
With Some Other Cases. IS

The district court is grinding away
on the last week Of the March term
and finding Itself engaged in the trial
OF case before jury, the case being
that of Roundy e MeMurray Co. VS.
The Nicholson Produce company, and
is an action brought to recover the
price of produce sold by the plaintiff
to the defendant THIS case was tried
here once before and was appealed to
the supreme court and reversed and
was sent back for trial again. It Is a
case of not much public interest. but
seems to absorb the attention of those
directly interested.
The case which claimed the atten-
ton last week, being that OF Lester
Sutton & Sons, bankers of Attica. o.
VS. The J. p. Auto company, of Charter
Oak, was concluded on Friday night
and turned over to the jury for its de-
cision. 1t is said the Jury wrangled
over the case during Friday night and
on Saturday Until about S o'clock.
when, on account Of being unable to
reach verdict, the court discharged
them and sent them home. From re-
ports which have been circulated on
the street since the jurors were dis
charged 1t seems that the principal
questions discussed by the jury were
those that were not in issue or sub
mitted by the court, but 1t was case
that the jury, unless held strictly down
to the issues submitted, would be
liable to discuss collateral questions
and to become confused on really
what we're the controlling questions in
the case.
The superstition is that the case now
on trial will last until perhaps tomor
row or later and II SO it may interfera
with any other jury case being taken
up before court adjourns. q
The business Of the term was inter
fered with by special assignment made
of the case Of Roundy Z McMurray
Co. VS.. The Nicholson Produce com
pany for the first jury case OF the
term. Circumstances were such that
| it could not be- taken. UP when called
and resulted in creating considerable
confusion and delay in gatting oahars
cases ON. for trial. "a Nj, Z, : 4
Later the case Of Lellan VS. Purcell
is set for trial TO begin tomorrow.

mule case.

there has been considerable complaint
here In Denison the city fathers have
decided to remedy the trouble by the

to the new ordinance it will be the

WORTHY ENTERTAINMENT
DccIamatory Contest at College Last
Evening Well Attended and
=. Most Pleasing to All.

The declamatory contest held at the
college last evening was well attended
and the entertainment was certainly
worthy of good audience. People be-
gan to wend their way to the college
as early as 1880 and by the time the
contest opened at s.: Is there was prac-
tically full house on hand.
The contest developed considerable
interest and the seven performers &C
quilted themselves with great credit.
Some OF the selections were difficult
of rendition and the performance
showed that the. young people had
been we'll trained and drilled in the
art of declaiming.
The judges had no difficulty in
reaching conclusion as to the order
of merit of the different performers,
but the marking was so close that a
change of one or two figures would
have changed the result. The finding
of the judges was in the following or
der: Miss Boyd first, William Fleming
second, and Miss Turin third.
The, college quartet made a great
hit. the members of the club being
Jesse Riggleman. John Lee, Hubert
Van Ness and Don Wilkinson. The
young men certainly acquitted them
selves to great advantage and are to
be congratulated for their ability to
entertain an audience.
I'VE are sorry that more of these en-
ltertainments are not given at the col
lege and that the people of Denison
do not take greater interest In them.
In the early history of the college
nothing was so popular with the Dem
ison people as an entertainment at the
college, but of late years the interest
seems to have Jagged to some extent
and we should be glad to see re-
vival OF the old time interest when
the college chapel was filed upon ey-
cry occasion.

an hour.
II believe" Major Pullman said to-
day, this is the first time that such a
place has been raided in Washington
and the proprietor held on charge of
running a disorderly house. Marks was
careful about how he conducted the ho-
tel part of his business, but 1t was In
his cafe that we believe the law was
violated by allowing disorderly persons
to congregate.'
OF the sixty-eisht persons taken in the
raid only the proprietor Of the hotel,
having violated the law, the others be-
ing allowed to 60 after their names had
zeen taken as witnesses Marks was
