Dewel. Law Day, as the occasion is known among lawyers, was observed at the courthouse Friday and Saturday, and the lawyers of Kossuth county could scarcely have seen a more successful observance. The attendance of the invited senior classes in the county's high schools was so compuju. 1 that the event, ordinarily for only one day, had to be repeated on a second day. There was a jammed courtroom attendance of seniors both days, and the lawyers could not but be proud of the showing made by their audiences.

This law day observance in honor of one of the world's great professions was in no way a mere local event. 'Law Day' is national and observance is sponsored by the Bar Association of entire United States. The object is to introduce to young people about to complete elemental education a profession in which they will in due time be. the major Clientage not practitioners.

It had been intended that Kossuth's own Judge Stillman would preside, but when the time arrived he found himself unable to leave a-Spirit Lake case on trial. Judge Hudson, of Pocahontas, most acceptably then filled the role. When the proper program hour arrived L. E. Linnan, president of the county Bar, opened the proceedings and after a few general remarks introduced members of the Kossuth Bar, who were temporarily using the Jury's seats: Mrs Alma Pearson, Court Clerk, was also introduced.

Each lawyer arose when his name was called. The lawyers were: Mr Linnan (introduction understood); Joseph JV-Straub and J. E. Lynch Linnan associates; R. G.

Dewel, honored by inclusion, but not in the practice of law. After the bar Introductions Bailiff Hugh Raney called, the judge, and everyone rose in the Judge's honor as he appeared. The bailiff was ordered to open court, after which the Judge gave a short but appropriate address on the American judicial system. Then trial of the jamage case of H. W.

Miller vs. J. D. Lowe began. This was a up' case to illustrate the usual steps in a civil lawsuit.

In the usual damage suit the first thing in a trial is preparing and filing with the clerk of court a statement of the facts in the accident from the injured party's standpoint. He is as the plaintiff. Then the other party, the defendant gives his version in a reply. The next step is to call. 12 people men or women to serve on a jury to listen to the claims on both sides and decide which story is the true one.

The jurors were chosen from audience. Jurors are chosen by drawing names at random from a list of persons who have voted. Then the lawyers on both sides quiz the proposed jurors to find out if there is any reason they might not be fair in deciding the case relationship of jurors and parties, for example. Let us Prefect your pocketbook in case of fire! Jurors who might be unfair are not accepted and are substituted. When the accepted jurors are reduced to 12 the jury is complete and maybe adjournment time for one reason or other has arrived, in which the judge warns all jurors not to talk about the case with anybody, including the other jurors during the adjournment.

The bailiff announ ces each adjournment. Next thing the lawyers on both sides give the- facts, each as viewed from his side. Then the actual trial comes on. The plaintiff and his witnesses give their side, and the other side's lawyer then tries various attempts to show that the testimony in favor of the plaintiff is untrue. This other side then gives its testimony and has to suffer the same in cross- examination.

Argument by each lawyer or set of lawyers on each side follows and finally the jurors retire to a jury room to decide the case.
