old TIMERS IN EVIDENCE
Many Cases Which Have Been Laid
Over from Term to Term Still on the
Calendar earrings for Term May
Be Concluded During First Week.

The March term of the circuit court,
according to the state law, opens on
next Monday morning and the jury
has been summoned TO appear at thai
time to hear the various cases for
trial. While this is a pretty busy
month for Judge Belden on account Of
the campaign for justice of the
supreme court it is expected that he
will be in Kenosha for the opening of
the court term and he may preside
during the first week of the term.
The calendar for the term, which
will be sent out by Clerk DeDiemar
on Thursday, is the shortest in years,
there being but twenty-one cases
noticed for trial and it is pretty GER
tain that many of these cases will not
come up for trial. There are the usu-
al number of cold timers" on the
calendar and as they have been car
ried along from term to term it is
probable that they will be carried
over again this time. The only inter-
esting case on the criminal calendar is
that of the State against John Mocnik.
It will not be called for trial as Moe
mix died a few days 400. Then there
is Che case against Gla1snce Mitchell
WHO is now serving a long term in the
Illinois state prison. Another case
that will not come to trial is that of
the State against Philip Kastnake.
The defendant in this case Feloped'
from the county Jail about four years
ago and nothing has ever been heard
of him. Tt is probable that all of these
cases will be dismissed on the opening
day Of the court term. Emanuel Cap
pella, named as defendant in am
other of the criminal cases, is now in
the state prison at Waupun. He has
been seeking parole, but the hearing
on his application will not be heard
In time for him to come to Kenosha
from the state prison for trial. An.
other state case is against Grace Gill
liam on charges of attempted arson.
Mrs. Gillian has not been in Kenosha
for many months and it is not expected
that there will be any effort on the
part of the state to bring the case
to trial. The criminal calendar should
be disposed of on the first day of the
term and it is probable that the civil
calendars will be disposed of just as
easily.
In the list of cases for the jury Of
civil nature are a number of interest
ing suits for damages. What appears
to be the most interesting of this list
is the claim for ten thousand dollars
damages made by Louis Schildt
against the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway company and that Of
Lena Phillips against Ralph Gentle.
One of the old time cases slated on the
jury calendar is that Of w. H. Phelps
against Walter M. CoweII It has
been pending in the court for several
years and has been continued from
term to term pending settlement.
The most interesting case on the
court calendar is the suit of Kellner
VS.. Kellner which has for its object
the settlement of the battle for the
Schmidt farm at Twin Lakes. An
other interesting case on the court
calendar is the suit of Harry I.
Goldberg against Jacob J.. Gottlieb
for an accounting.
There is but one divorce case on the
calendar and it is not expected that
any others will be heard at this term
of the court,
With the calendar in the condition
that it is, it is expected that the work
of the entire term may be completed
within a week.
In addition to the cases noticed for
trial on the calendar it is expected
that the several condemnation cases
started by the city for land for park
purposes and by the North Western
company to secure land for
the right of way of the Industrial
tracks win be heard at this term of
the court.
