The regular October term of the Washtenaw county circuit court was opened yesterday morning by Judge Kinne. There are 105 cases on the docket, being24 criminal, 46 issues of fact, 2 imparlances, 1 issue of law, 13 chancery ñrst class, 2 secone class and 17 fourth class. Among the criminal cases are 13 violations of the liquor iaw. In j the chancery fourth class the case of the Dexter Savings Bank vs. George Bell et. al., which went over the term, is of much interest. It is a bilí of inter-pleader filed to determine who shall receive the reward I offered for the detection of the Dexter bank robber. A large array of legal talent is concerned in the case. Lawrence & Butterfield are the solicitors of the'bank and John W. Hawley, A J. Sawyer, E. B. Norris, Arthur Brown and Lehman Bros. the solicitors for the claimants. The bank has nothing to do but simply wait and let the claimants fight it out together. The docket was quickly disposed of and the prospect is that there will be very few cases tried by the court and none by the jury.
