CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINQS.

Geo. M. Wilcox vs. Hugh Brosnan and Mary Clemens; judgment against defendants for $52.53. John Mohler vs. Henry Amsler; - judgment for 16 against defendant, and plaintiff taxed with the costs. Durbin vs. Durbin, action for divorce; dismissed by plaintiff at her costs. The Moffitt ditch case was started—enough to say started—and then continued to next term. The case of W. L. Lewis vs. Myrt B. Price, the Iroquois ditch engineer matter, was argued before the court Thursday afternoon and was taken under advisement. A decision will probably be rendered to-day. The big Tolin ditch case from Newton county, which it was expected it would take a week or ten days to try, was taken up Tuesday. The jury was empaneled and everything got around in for a long grind. After examining two witnesses Wednesday, the attorneys asked for a recess of ten minutes, and when court again took up the attorneysannounced that the case had been settled. On what terms the settlement was made was not made public, but it is rumored that Templeton got SI,OOO and paid all court costs. The case of Ray Kellenberger, charged with attempt to rape the 7-year-old daughter of John Wheeler of Lewiston, was being heard yesterday. The evidence was all in at noon and argument began at the reconvening of court after dinner.
