DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS Calling of Grand Jury Postponed Upon Showing by District Attorney That It Would Be a Needless Expense The final account and petition for distribution of the estate of Frank Kopp, deceased, was heard by Judge Breen in the District Court on December 10, who ordered that the final account of said administratrix, with the will annexed, be settled, allowed, approved and the estate distributed, and that the said administratrix be discharged. In the District Court on December 15 Judge Peter Breen called the court calendar and the following business was transacted; Louise S. Zadow vs. W. F. ZadowIn the absence of counsel for the respective parties in the above entitled cause, the setting of the case for trial is continued subject to the right of either party to the action to move for a setting of the case for trial upon the filing with the Clerk and serving on the opposite party a notice of 10 days for the same. The two cases of the State of Nevada vs. Wells, Fargo & Co. were continued for the term on motion of counsel for plaintiff. Mary Wren, Executrix et al. vs. Thomas Dixon-In accordance with the stipulation of counsel for the respective parties, counsel for defendant is given 10 days if they see fit to file an amended answer in the above entitled case, the court having been advised of the serious illness of the defendant, Dixon, in the above entitled cause, and the uncertainty of the date of his return to Eureka, the setting of the case for trial will go over for the term. It having been shown to the Court by the statement of the District Attorney, as well as being within the personal knowledge of the Judge of said court, that the calling of a Grand Jury for the present would involve a useless expense and cost to the County of Eureka. it is ordered that the calling of a Grand Jury be continued until the further order of this Court, there being no business of importance for such body to transact at the present time. The Court ordered that the state ment of the District Attorney be spread upon the minutes of the court. The petition of Spencer Reynolds, as Receiver of the Eureka County Bank, asking for an order authorizing the execution of a lease and option upon the Rocco-Homestake mining property at Hamilton, Nevada, to Charles Minoletti, was granted by the District Court in session Friday.
