The license of Gamble, merchant, was granted later in the day. After reading his decisions Judge Hazen made a little speefih to the successful appli cants, hoping they would prove themselves wortbv of the great privilege accorded them, that he had admini-tered the law as he uu derstood it, that the licensed houses must have meals at all hours for travellers, that travellers entered their houses as a matter of right, that the licensed houses must not keep their bars open too late at night and must not sell to minors or men of iutruiperate hab its, on Sunday or Election day, that they would be expected to aid the officers ot the law in stopping the illegal sale ot liquor ami place themsel ve«i on the side ot law pud or der, and that any failure on 'heir part to do so would tell against them hereafter. The crowd then dispersed, some happy, some otherwise, aud regular oart assembled with both Judges Hazen and McMichael on the bench, the jury list was read over, two cases were called, JuJee Mi*Micbael aud his court retiring to the arbitration room, and up to Thursday Noon the following cises have been disposed of.

Arensdorf will be tried first, and the result in his case will determine the fate of the others.
