From the Courthouse.

Judge Field was engaged this morning in hearing a number of motions many of them of no particular importance save the littigants.

In the libel cases of Misses Ella and Libble Meloy against the Musee, the plaintiffs were given leave this rcorning to file a new petition the old one being knocked out, and also to make W. T. Duncon, a party defendont.

Arguments were also heard on the demurrer filed by Col. Phillptts on behalf of Monday McFarland, who doesn't think that the first and second counts of the indictment against him, in which he is charged with conspiracy, should, from a legal point of view, be allowed to stand. The court took the matter under advisement.

The attorneys for Jerome and Emma Williamson, who are racing for a divorce, were engaged this morning arguing the question whether Jerome should pay Emma some money to live on while the suit is pending.

The case brought by the New Rebublic against Elders, Davis and Thomas, to recover for a press they claimed was no good, was settled ad dismissed this morning.

In county court the McCormick Harvester company have a kick coming. They don't like the tactics of H. O. Tabor, who has been acting as their agent, and bring suit to recover $50, which they claim he received from W. Cunningham for a wagon, but which he has neglected to turn over to them.

Micheal Killroy also files his complaint with the same tribunal. He says that some time last fall he contracted with S. K. Emerson to lease the latter his farm in West Oak precinct. Emerson agreed to pay him half of the rent, $525 in all, on February 1, 1891, and give a note due October 1st next for the balance. Emerson moved onto the farm last November, but has made no move to fulfill his contract, wherefore Micheal sues for the whole amount.
