Court Neirs,

The ease of the territory OF Montana
VS.. w. w. Hunt, charged with grand
larceny, was called yesterday morn
ing at 8 o'clock and was continued
until o'clock i'm the afternoon, At
the last mentioned hour Judge Cotter
called the case and was informed that
ii had been amicably settled by the
defendant, returning TO the complain
ing witness, Mrs. Ida Owens, the
goods IN dispute, or the price Of the
same. The case was then disguised.
DIR. Burlcigh then endeavored to re-
lievs his client, Mr.. Hunt, of the
burden of the costs, but Judge Cotter
was firm in the opinion that Mr.
Hunt should pay them, and he was
accordingly taxed with the same,
amounting to S23.25.
The case of Dan Mcmillan, charged
10y one Enrich with assault and bat
terry was dismissed, there being all in
sufficient amount of evidence to sus-
tain the charge. Mr.. Enrich will
bear the costs in the case.
1t now appears that the two men,
Ryan and Berlsley, who were arrest
ed Monday night are wanted In
several other places besides Dillon Oh
as many charges. II may turn out
that this was a lucky find for Conley,
King and Irvine.
The case Of Joe Laundry Of Terry,
will be- called in the probate court this
afternoon, at which he will no doubt
give a satisfactory EXPLANATION.

A Vienna Tragedy.

Details of shocking domestic tragedy
have been received from Vieuna. The
victims were Frau Obrist, the wife of q
81 der, and eher two sons and two daugh-
ters, whose ages range from ten to
eighteen. On the room they occupied
being entered all five were discovered to
be dead from the effects of poison. The
cause of this painful event is that the
furniture of the family was to haye been
distrained upon. The husband, who
was formerly wealthy man, but who
has gradully fallen into poverty, arrived
home, but failed to make any one hear
his knocking. Thinking his family asleep
and fearing to disturb them, he left and
passed the night at hotel. In the morn
ing he returned, and again failing to OBJ
tain admittance, he caused the door to
be burst open, when the corpses of his
wife and four children met his gaze.
The shock upon the unfortunate man was
great, as the most tender relations had
existed between the family. He had, it
appears, no suspicion of the sad event,
into which his wife was driven by the
fear of approaching starvation. The
mother, it is thought, first took poison,
the children following her example.
