The Washington Republican Washington County Friday November 16, 1900 In District Court. Court convened here last Tuesday with all the preparation for a long business term, but one case was tried, and that without a jury or much effort. It was a criminal case, State of Kansas vs. R.W. STAHL. Mr. Stahl is a peg-leg who was traveling through the country about a month ago and he stole some hides from the slaughter house in Greenleaf, took them to Clifton, and sold them. He plead guilty to the charge of larceny and was sentenced one year to the penitentiary. Yesterday morning Judge STURGES dismissed the jury and court adjourned until next Monday.
