The December term of the 15th judicial district court for Itasca county, began at the county court house on*Tuesday morning, Judge M. A. Spooner, presiding, and J. C. Cameron, court reporter. The local bar was very numerously represented, and many outside at- torney’s were also in attendance to furnish’ grist for the legal mill, faciliate the grinding, or clog the wheels as much as in them lay, ac- cordingly as their clients interests required. Several membersof the grand jury were excused, and a_ special venire of ten was issued, After electing C, M. King foreman, the grand jury went to work, the first indictment reported being one for murder in the first degree against Wm Coddington, who killed Henry Kehring, in the Big Fork country last summer. There were 74 civil cases on the docket, but eleven have been dis- missed, settled, or continued, leav- ing 63 still in sight. The term is certain to bea long one, and Judge McClenahan is expected to take a portion of it. Of course local interest is centered in the suit brought by J. G. Robertson, against the village of Grand Rapids, for $2.400.00 claimed by Robertson to be due jhim on the water and lighting plant. The village council claims that it wishes only justice from Mr. Robertson, and is perfectly willing to settle with him as_ soon as he will give the plant a test which will show that it will do the work it is warranted to do, and is such as was called for by the spec- ifications of the contract. Villagé Attorney Price in his answer files a counter suit against Mr. Robert- son for $12.000.00 damages claimed to haye been sustained by the village. A motion for con- tinuance was made by plaintiff’s attorneys which is not decided at this writing. A synopsis of what was done we give below: Emil Johnson, plff. vs Carpen- ‘let al, defts. endar. W.

Relating to Burning of Timber Refuse on Minnesota Reservation. A Washington, D.C., dispatch says that the interior department has telegraphed instructions to its repre- : sentatives at the Leech Lake Indian F reservation in Minnesota to give wide E publicity to the fact that Rule 8, of 3 the regulations governing the sale of © ah the timber there for the benetit of ae the Indians, in se far as it relates to the removal and burning of refuse, will be reasonably construed and lib- erally adininistered by the depart- ment and no funther removals or burnings will be required than are actually necessary to prevent forest fires. Rule 8 provides that ail chunks, knotty sections or other util- ized portions of trees, as well as branches, must be piled and as much as possible piied together to insure clear burning, Many of she agents of lumber com- panies are objecting to this rule and say if the rules are strictly enforced x it would greatly diminish the amount : to be received from the pine. @ The . department, however, is of the opin- ion it is its duty to prevent tops and refuse endangering standing timber but bas issued instructions to the superintendeut of logging at Cass Lake, which, while making the regu- latious flexible, will permit the mat- ; ter tobe controlled by the department 3 aud not by the purchaser of logs. : pa inci MTA i Notice of Application for Liquor Licsnse.
