LAWYERS ARE DEMANDING IT Say it Will Save Time and Money for | Them and Th pediting the Business. r Clients by Ex- civi The seven judges of the district court court of the Fourth judicial district— Troup, Estelle, Day, Kennedy, Sears, Sut- ton and Redick—will, it is balleved, put into effect the first of the year a new rule for assigning civil cases in response to @ loud clamor by lawyers. This rule is to have one judge selected, who shall assign the case every morning. The judges are favorably considering the mat- ter and may adopt it January 1 A, prominent attorney, discussing the Jses of the present system of ever: Juige, assigning cases and the advantage: % the proposed rule, says: “The practics has been for each of the seven judges to assign cases and It has cost lawyers no end of time, time wasted, 1 mean. For inatauce I have a case com- ing up In Judge Troup's court, another in Judge Sutton's court, another in Judg Kennedy's court and 8o on, possibly a case in every judge's court on the same day. 'I go to Judge Troup's court first, we shall say, and report for my case. It is fixed for trial. Then I hasten over to Judge Kennedy's court. 1 am told I am too late, the case has been struck off and maybe the judge is offended. ‘But I couldn't help it, your honmor, I had a case in Judge Troup's court on which I was obliged to attend.

It will enable the presiding judge te keep tab on the lawyer dlspssed to be dilatory. When such & lawyer comes In after his e is called and tells a judge he has been detained in another court the presiding judge may just run his eye down his list of cases and see for himself. “Under the new system the judges will meet every morning and the presiding jucge will assign all cases. The lawyers know they have no other judge to go before and hence he and they can make time.” Money to Bury Two Hundred Dollars Brought from Washington by Major Brennan of Pine Ridge. “Red Cloud, Sioux Indlan warrior, who |dled last week on the Pine Ridge agenmcy, will be burled according to the ritual of the paleface and not above ground as he requested,” said Major John R.
