CUI 1 M. NEWS I Grand 1 Petit Jurors for the c ruary Terms Are Drawn CL AD. ALLOWED And Consequently Dismissed from Court Dockett —Other Notes. Several of the eighteen claims in j estates, placed on the court docket last week by County Clerk Bleeke, have been dismissed. The law provides that where the claims against the state are not allowed within a > certain time, they shall be put on the court docket and heard in court as other cases are. Mr. Bleeke did this last week, and since then the adminissrators of the estate have appeared and asked that they be dismissed. In some cases the claims had been settled out of court with failure on the part of the administrator to mark them allowed on the estate’s docket. Among the claims which were allowed today, and thus dismissed from the court docket, were those against the W. B. Hale estate. This includes the claim of $13,403.61 of the Geneva bank; that of the Linn Grove bank for $91.50, and the Jones Auto & Cycle 'company for $32 79. The claims in the Jacobs estate were also allowed. Jury Commissioners J. W. Craig of Berne and Henry Hite of this city, with Clerk Bleeke drew the names of the juries for the February term of court which opens next Monday morn- ■ Ing. According to the new ruling, grand jurists are now drawn for every term, to be held in case a need arises for them, instead of only for the fall and spring terms as heretofore. The new juries comprise the following: Grand Jury. Sam Beltler—Berne. John Hill-—Decatur. Harry Brown—Wabash. Sam Elgey—Geneva. Charles Meyers—Decatur. Reinhard Limenstall—Kirkland. Petit Jury. 1 Elzey—Jackson—St. Mary’s. J. H. Blakey—Union. ’ Sherman Glendening—Hartford. Charles Reichelderfer—GenevaSam Hirschy—Berne. Daniel K. Shackley— Decatur, t Isaac Everett —Washington.
