Courts Calendar Changed. ::

Judge Roberts has announced some
change in the dates for holding terms
of the District Court in Bossier Parish.
As heretofore, each year two criminal
terms Of court will be held, but the
grand jurors will be summoned to ap-
pear the first Mondays in january aud
June and the petit jurors the first
Mondays in February and July. That
means that the actual trying of cases
will occur at least Il month following
the finding of the true bill by the
Grand Jury This should give ample
time for the locating Of witnesses;
also give the lawyers plenty Of time III
which to get ready" The arrange
ment. it would seem, should prove
something of check to the growing
practice of postponing cases. which has
been IL source of annoyance and unnec-
.essary expense for years. Amy term of
the court may be extended two weeks
without interfering with the Webster
Parish calendar, 80 Clerk of Court
Henderson says.
The civil terms of the court will lie
convened the first Mondays in April.
October and December.
