Circuit Court



The November term of the
circuit court was convened by
Hon. Thos. l.. Bouck as presiding
Judge last Tuesday morning. and
after the calendar had been gone
over the court and the cases set
for trial, and the roll call made Of
the jury. summons was issued for
a special panel Of jurymen.
In the afternoon the case Of the
state VS. Joseph Bauer for violat-
ing the liquor law was taken up,
and jury secured. The evidence
showed that a fishing party, con-
sisting Of Robert Jones, Sheriff
Manley, Frank Mckernan, M. Mitch
ell and Ed Johnson engaged the
defendant, who is running boat
line on the lake to take them up
the lake. and that while on the
boat they had bought several bottles
of beer and that both Jones and
Manley paid the defendant for this
beer. The defense claimed that
the beer was purchased by Ed.
johnson from a fellow whom they
designated as Slim before the
party got on the boat and that
Bauer simply received the money
on the boat and later turned it
over to Sim and that the sale
of the beer was made before any
one got on the boat. 1t is needless
to say that Slim was not on
hand to give his evidence, it being
stated by the defendant that after
Bauer'i' arrest he Immediately
FLEW, and had not been seen
since.
The ordinary Iayman who listen
ed to the testimony in the court
room would have been inclined to
think that beer had been sold
on the boat to Jones, Manley and
Mckernan and that Bauer had re-
ceived the pay for it. notwith
standing the mythical Slim
who had never been seen after the
boat ride.
However the jury returned a
virdict Of not guilty.
