Spring Term Of Sioux
County District Court
Next Term Of District Court Wilt Be
Held in May With Judge Nuessle
Of Bismarck P,esidins ).

The spring term of district court
for Sioux county, will be held at
Fort Yates on May 9TH, with judge.
w. L. Nuessle Of Bismarck, presid-
ing. There will be no jury called
this term, but all court matters that
are ready and can be disposed Of
without jury will be taken care Of.
This includes hearing petitions
for naturalization, default court
cases and arraignment of all defen-
dants held for trial. Judge Nuessle
writes Clerk Of Court j. A. Wells
that it is necessary that arraign-
ments in all criminal cases be had, +,
so he can determine just how much
business there will be for disposi-
tion with a jury, and enable him
to tell when jury should be call
ed.
This would indicate that jury
term will be called later as there
are a number of criminal cases
pending. 1t has been rumored,
however, that practically all the
defendants in the criminal cases will
ask for a change Of venue, which if
granted means that the cases will
be transferred to another county
for trial. -
