District Court
Now In Session
CRIMINAL CASES WILL START MONDAY
Several Civil Cases Disposed OF. Demurrer SuS-
tanned Ia Highway District Action

The November term OF the
district court for Benewah cOun-
tx convened in this city yesterday
afternoon with Judge Robert n.
Dunn presiding. The time Of the
court yesterday was largely taken
up with the calling of the calen-
dar and setting the time of trial
for various cases. Arguments
were heard on several demurrers
and law questions. The jury has
been ordered to report next
Monday morning, November -,
at 10 o'clock, at which time the
trial of the various cases on the
criminal calendar will be started.
The first case set for trial is that
of the State against Neil Quincy
on the. charge of criminal syndi-
calism.
Quincy was secretary Of the
/. w. w. organization in this
city and was arrested early this
summer when the I. w. w. hall
here was raided and the records
and literature of the organiza-
ton seized. At his preliminary
hearing he was bound over to the
district court under $4,000 bonds
and since that time has been held
in the stockade here and at
Moscow.
The cases of the State against
Ed shannon, James Kelly, Neil
MeGloud and A. Vannier, all
= vcharged with the same offense,
have been set to follow that of
Quincy in the order named. In
addition to these there are thir-
ty-six cases on the criminal cal
endar wherein the defendants
are charged with the same Of
fcnse and these will probably be
disposed of before any Of the
other cases are taken up.
In the case Of Emmett Addy
against Geo. F. Wetzel and
others, which is on appeal from
the probate court, a motion ask
ing that the plaintiff furnish a
cash bond was argued and taken
under advisement yesterday. At
torney George J. McFadden of
Plummer appeared for the plain
tiff and Attorney William d.
Keeton represented the defend
ant.
In the case of RenfrO vs..
Sherman, which was an action
for the foreclosure of q mort
gage, the defendant failed to
appear and judgment was rem
dered in favor of the plaintiff
represented by Attorney William
d. Keeton.
John Shepperd was arraigned
charged with illegal possession OF
intoxicating liquor and plead
guilty. He was sentenced tC
serve thirty days in the county
Jail and pay a fine of $50 anC
the costs Of the action.
Judge Dunn announced that M
had sustained the demurrer II
the case Of the Plummer Gate
way Highway District agains
