gpzc mitMta nalt Mxxntlzaj 20, 1902 WITH CULINARY' OF SEVENTIES Twelve of Wichita's Original Settlers STORIES OF EARLY DAY It is a fact that many times Juries are empanelled to try cases when the attorneys on one side know that the jury will never get to decide the case. The attorneys think they may take the case to the supreme' court are beaten, and there are more chances to work in objections when the case is tried before the jury than when tried by tho court. Their knowledge of the ruling of the courts makes it almost certain that a demurrer to the evidence submitted by the plaintiff will be sustained. In some of the cases which a jury was empanelled to try they sat patiently for more than a day listening to the evidence, and Just the plaintiff would say that his evidence was all in Judge Dale would order the jury to return a verdict for the defendant, without ever leaving the box.

Twelve of the men who have made "Wichita's history, men who settled on these plains over thirty years ago, men who are now reaping the harvest of their sawing, it -was of this kind of hardy oak timber that the small group was composed that met at Mr. Robert Lawrence's house on Xorth Topeka rvenue erdict arrived at by the judge. The average juror in the district court is always very anxious to secure the good opinion of the judge of the court. He knows that he has sworn to try cases according to the law and the evidence, and he understands that he must tako the evidence submitted and his law from the instructions of the court.

The jury always listens attentively to the reading of the instructions of the judge, and then when they go to the jury room each one of them usually reads them over again, and when the jury docs not readily arrive at a verdict the instructions last Eight, to enjoy each others fa- of the court cuts considerable of a fig-miliar words of Kood cheer and stories of ure in the discussion in the Jury room. the seventies.

There were thirty-six jurors drawn for the regular Jaunary term.

Some of them did not serve and others were drawn. If the whole number had served the twenty -two days the entire cist to the county for I ftes would have been 51,534. and In addi-, tion to this some of the jurors who lived in the country were allowed mileage. It will be seen from this that the court is not so expensive as many people are led to believe. A DOCTOR'S BAD PLIGHT.
