General Calendar
Day For Probate
Court Is Changed

General calendar day in Red
wood county probate court has
been changed to the first Tuesday
of each month, from the first
Monday as has been the rule for
many years past.
The new schedule will not 60
into effect until the first Tuesday
of April as several hearings have
already been arranged for the
first Monday in March. Hearings
on claims already set for the first
Mondays in April, May and June
will be continued one day to fit in
with the new plan.
The change was made as pro-
bate court calendars in several
neighboring counties are heard on
first Mondays. Under the new
system attorneys practicing in
these counties can be present at
Tuesday hearings here, thereby
forestalling continuances and
speeding up the work of the court.
Judge r. v. Ochs lists the gen.
eral hearing dates for the year:
April 4; May Q; June 6; July s.;
wednesday,; August 1; Septem-
Der 5; October 8; November z and
December S.
