ThrOat-0ther Court News.

years Of age, was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary yesterday af-
ternOon for cutting and wounding
with intent to kill. Price was accused
Of cutting his wife's throat last fall.
The trouble originated over a sec
ond woman, whom Price had gone to
see. The Green-Eyed Monster i'm
mediately took possession Of his wife,
who engaged in a fight with the wo-
man. Price cut his wife with knife,
which 1t was alleged that his mother
had handed him. Price was arrested,
together with his mother, who was
held as being an accessory, but who
was later released.
Prices wife did not appear before
him yesterday, but he was convicted
without her testimony. He was rep
resented by H. C. Curran.
In the case of Florence Barnett's
administrator against DR.. Leslie
Brand, the plaintiff appealed to the
Court of Appeals.
Mrs. Sarah Roser was given judg-
ment against the Moerline Brewing
Co., in the sum of $1OO for failure to
make repairs on the part of the de-
fendant ina piece of property it had
rented from the plaintiff. The plain
tiff was given nothing on the rent.
Motion for new trial was immedi-
ately filed.
Judge Newell drew the names of "a
persons from the wheel for the next
Grand Jury and 36 names for the petit
jury.
John Breckenridge, charged with
having liquor in his possession for the
purpose of sale, was tried before a
jury, which after some deliberation,
adjudged him guilty of the offense
charged, and placed his punishment
at a SIS fine and rs days in Jail. This
closed the jury trials for this term of
court.
Immediately preceding the Brecken-
ridge trial, which was the final jury
case of the term, Judge Newell, in ad-
dressing the Jury before dismissal,
said he wished to express his appre-
citation of the very active interest
taken during the term, and that in all
his Judicial career, both in this dis
trict and in other parts of the state,
he had not found a more satisfactory
jury. This is the first jury for many
terms of court in which there was not
one or more hung cases. The jury was
composed of some of the best busi-
ness men in the county and at no
time did they take over half an hour
in their deliberations, exceeding the
Pete Faulkner case, which occupied
several hours.
The following men were given Jail
and penitentiary sentences during this
term of court:
Russell Bats, Alais Gilman, carry
ing concealed deadly weapon, $50
and ten days in Jail.
Pete Faulkner, murder, three years
in penitentiary.
William Breckenridge, murder, not
less than nor more than Is years in
penitentiary.
Trueman Poe, SIS and ten days in
Jail.
Robert Beckett, breaking store
house, to Reform School.
Robert Crawford, houseburning, one
year in penitentiary.
Wesley Osborne, houseburning, six
years in penitentiary.
Reason Ballard, carrying concealed
a deadly weapon, $50 and ten days in
Jail.
Albert Foster, obtaining money un-
der false pretenses, one year in peni-
tentiary.
Allen Fletcher, converting property
in possession of common carrier to
his own use, jail sentence.
This leaves only two prisoners in
the county Jail to be tried before the
Circuit Court, Charles and Edward
Nagle, who have been held over to
