For the first time in the history ol
the circuit court, the court's instruc
tions to the jury were waved yester
day afternoon at 5:30 o'clock in Cir
cuit Judge Kelly's court, when the
taking of testimony in the case ol
Bates against the Oregon l'lectiic
Railway Co. was complete! after at
torneys" on both sides had waived argument.
The case was a damage sun iiieu
against the railway company by Louis
Kates, of near Tangent, in which it
was alleged that the company in con
structing its lines had injured a pri
vate road leading to plaintiff's prop
erty to the extent of S10W1 damages.
The case went to the jury at 5:30
o'clock and a verdict was returned
within 15 minutes in favor of the de
fendant railroad company. Attorneys
Wcathcrford and Weathcrford rep
resented the plaintiff and Attorneys
Gale S. Hill. Cary and Kerr the de
fendants. Thy case was the last one to come
tip in the present term of Judge Kel
lev's court and had occupied its at
tention all dav. As it was getting
late and the attorneys feeling the ef
fects of a steady grind of court busi
ness for nearly two weeks, the at
torneys on both sides waived argu
ment.
Judge Kellv remarked that he sup
posed that the' would not be avers
to bis waving instructions to the jury
and much to his surprise ' they took
him un. The jurors appeared to ac
cept this termination of the trial with
much favor. They were accordingly
excused, to bring in a verdict within
15 minutes after retiring.
Judge Kellv stated this morning that
in the 20 years he has been a member
nf tlm Oregon bar. he has never be
fore heard of such a precedent being
established.

Charles Thomp-on and J. K. P.
Tate this afternoon withdrew the
bonds iurmslied bv them ot mi mi eaen
in behalf of James Hart, who was in
dieted by the grand jury in Marcl
on two separate individual counts
of violation of the provisions of the
local option liquor law. Since being
dieted . Hart has been out
bonds. The cases: pending against him
are still on Judge belly's bar dock
et and will not probably be tried until
the next term oi court.
This action on the part of his bonds
men caused Hart to go further into
the custodv of the sheriff, as he is at
the present time serving time in the
county tail tor the tai.r.re to produce
bonds of $1500, imposed upon him by
lud'-e Kellv this week as the result
of an appal taken in the two cases in
which the defendant was convicted
iointlv with T. IX Kennedy last, week
In order to have secured his freedom
in these cases. Hart would have been
required to furnish bonds in the sum
of S.ra). Ifart is now confined m the
countv jail with $5000 against him
necessary to secure his release, pern!
ing the outcome of his appealed cases
and the indictments against him.
It is believed that if Mart is content
'o remain in jail until the outcome ol
the appeal, as it anpears improbable
that lie will be :.ble to tiirnish bail
1,e will have served several months,
for which he will not get credit on the
original sentence. However it, is the
belief that if he is successful in se
curing bonds within the next two of
ibree da vs. he will have the appeal
dismissed.
