LIGHT DOCKET
FOR GRAND JURY
FEW BOUND OVER CASES TO EN-.
GAGE ATTENTION OF
lNQUISiTORS.

The only evidence Of the circuit
court being in session is the number
of witnessed who are daily trooping
to the grand jury, which is engaged in
the usual grind. The inquisitors will
remain in session for several days,
although there are fewer cases to en-
gage attention than has been the case
in long time. The bound over dock,
ct is very light. This fact, the Off
GERS generally attribute to the "bone
dry" and other rigid anti-licker laws.
