FARCE COMEDY IN JUSTICE COURT The preliminary hearing in the case of the state vs. David Cocharne, charged with murder in the first degree, has been continued through- out the week in the cross examination of M Allen Whitt, the state’s principal witness. The hearing has now lasted eight days, and if eyer,a force was carried on in open court, this case should draw the capital prize in that role. for the defense, has kept the witness under cross examination day after day, scarcely touching the subject of the murder. His aim seems tu be to put on record a mass of imma- terial evidence that in some particus lar may confuse the witness at the tria] and thus discredit her testimony on the main points, Nothing new has been brought out since Prosecut- ing Attorney Thwing turned the witness over to Spear a week ago.

COMPANY REORGANIZES - A meeting of Grand Rapids Hook and Ladder company No 1 was held at Fire hall last’ Tuedsay night, when officers were elected for the ensuing year and the official member- ship adopted. M. McAlpine was re-elected foreman for the ‘steenth time, to which honor he strenuously objected. He has made a faithful and efficient freman, however, and) the boys objected to -his retirement under the desability act. Mike is one of the liveliest members of the company, is generally first at a fire, and his services have been too valu- able to permit of his withdrawal. F. ceing county register of deeds office, finds that the task is much greater than was at first anticipated. Miss Crouse has had much experience in abstract work and thorougbly understands the details of the office, and when she has completed the set of books on which she is now at work Koochiching county will have as neat and complete a record as any county in the state. A force of about seven young ladies have been engaged on the work since February 11,and theend will not be reached until sometime in October. It is now estimated that about one-third of the copying has been done. There will be a total of about twelve thous- new records. Miss Crouse is very proud of the work thatis being done by her care of assistants and speaks ip flattering termsof their proficiency. Last week the force transcribed 712 instruments. ST.
