THE OFFICIAL VOTE
Cast in Richardson County at the General Election Held November 7 , i ° o5
Subscription For Jews.
Jalce Ferer was circulating-
subscription paper Thursday to
raise money to send to Russia
to assist in alleviating1 the suf
fering1 of the Jews v\ho have re
ceived such atrocious treatment

populace. A large sum was
raised by Mr. Ferer as our citi

District Court.
The fall term of the district
court will convene next Mon
day with John B. Knper , the
new judge , on the bench. There
is a great deal of business to be
transacted as more than a year
has elapsed since a jury term
has been held in this county.
It will be impossible to try many
cases at this timehow ever be-
can.se of the new jury law. The
lawyers are all afraid 10 risk the
trial of a case of any import
ance for the reason that no one
has yet been found who can tell
what the law means. The at
torney , general has brought a
case before the supreme court
to test its validity and it is probable -
, bable that no jury will be drawn
until- the , .supi-ciii * . < court makes
its guess in the mean time
public busmes- with Ihe court
is at a standstill.

that was handy to convince that
they were the real thing. .Mr.
Seliulenburg's two sons came to
the rescue and the scrap turned
into a free for all Beer bottles

numerous to mention tilled the
