February
Term Convened on Monday Afternoon By Judge Brown
Only
Twenty-four Civil Cases on the Calendar. The Poppens Indicted.
The
February term of the district court for Nobles county was opened last Monday
afternoon by Judge P.E. Brown. The calendar for the term is a short one, there
being only 24 civil cases.
The
criminal calendar included four cases against D.J. Gronewold, the Bigelow saloon
keeper. On Monday the grand jury returned an indictment against Louis Moe,
charging him with grand larceny in the second degree. He will plead guilty. The
grand jury concluded its labors yesterday. It returned three indictments against
Sievert and Herman Poppen, one charging grand larceny in the first degree and
