After empanelling the jury in the
case Of J. w. Mayo vs.. q L. McFar-
land, the trial of jury cases in the
special term of the district court was
postponed until next Monday, and the
jurors answering the call of the court
were excused until that date, the re-
mainder of this week being reserved
for the trial Of court cases.
The case in question was tried at
the January term of the district court
before Judge Clay, sitting instead of
Judge Linn, and the jury returned a
verdict for the defendant, but on mo-
tion Judge Clay granted new trial
With the jury empanelled and all in
readiness to start the trial, it was dis
covered that the papers in the case
were missing. A recess of thirty min
utes was given, but at the end Of that
time the papers had not been found,
and the court excused the jury until
next Monday, stating that he would
hear court cases for the week. The
jury empanelled in the case were: j.
