# Liquid Evidence Disappears. TECUMSEH, Neb., Jan. 21.-(Special.)- District court was in session in Johnson county three days this week, having been convened in adjourned session by Judge J. B. Raper of Pawnee City. The jury was not used. The case of the state of Nebraska against Herman Steinkuhler of Sterling, an appeal on a charge of violating the pure food law by failure to label liquors, was dismissed at the request of the county attorney. Evidence had been lost in the destruction of a bottle of liquor. The case of the state against Dr. J. G. Neff of Sterling was continued to the regular term of the court, as the complaining witness, Miss Lora Neff, could not leave the industrial school at Geneva, owing to a scarlet fever quarantine. The case of the state of Nebraska against the Chamberlain banking house receivership was adjusted. The report of John Ward, receiver, was read and accepted and Mr. Ward's resignation was also accepted. A. O. Shaw was appointed receiver and his bond was approved. He was instructed to close up the affairs of the defunct concern as soon as possible. The injunction case of Leslie D. Spence, guardian of William A. Young, against Hardy U. Miner, sheriff, and James A. Boggs was dismissed. The court adjourned sine die, and it will probably not convene again until the regular spring term, which is March 7.
