CIVIL CALENDAR IS
 CALLED IN SUPERIOR
 COURT; MANY ATTEND
Considerable Number of Cases That Have Been Pending for Week Will Be Tried by Civil Jury in a Few Days.

TOMBSTONE, Oct. 1S-The atten- ton of the Superior Court was taken up this afternoon in the call of the l civil jury calendar and a number of cases were set for trial. There are number of cases that will be tried dur | ing the next three weeks that have been pending for some time and which could not be reached On account of the crowded condition of the criminal cal. endar which had to be given prefer ence, as a number of the prisoners were confined in the county jail and the law requires that they be tried within sixty days after the informa. ton has been filed. After three weeks of civil jury business has been dispos. ed of it is the intention of the court to try criminal cases for three weeks and then go back to the trial of civil cases. A number of default cases will also be disposed of during the next
 three weeks in which jurors are not needed as it is expected that the court
 will have to dispose of them. The out
 look now is. that there will be another
 long session of the superior court in the trial of civil and criminal cases. Among the lawyers wno are here to attend the call of the civil calendar were F. M. Doan, R. N. French, David Benshimol of Douglas, Alexander Mur-
 ray, William Cleary. J. w. Ross, S. K.
