Alfred Suprenant Found Guilty of the
Petty Larceny Of q Watch.

Alfred suprenant Found Guilty Of the
Petty Larceny Of q Watch.
Justice Hopkins entered upon his judicial
career Tuesday by the trial OF the case Of
Territory We. Marian and Alfred Suprenant.
charge against them was petty larceny
oil q watch which was claimed by the pawn
broker Albiez as having been stolen from
him. The defense asked for and obtained
q jury, and it took all afternoon to try the
case. The counsel for the defense entered
objections to almost every question asked
OF the witnesses by the prosecution, and
Court, jury and spectators were in a con-
tinual roar of laughter in consequence.
The aforementioned clearly that the watch
had been taken by Alfred Suprenant one
day when he went into Albies' shop and
asked to be shown some watches. While
examining them he tnipped" the watch in
controversy. as it was missed by Albiez i'm
m~ediately after he left. He gave it to his
wife, who was unaware OF where it came
from, and that is how she innocently de-
pcsited it for safekeeping with the very
man from whom it was stolen. Albiez
identified it completely.
The defense Attempted TO prove that the
watch had bseh bought by Mrs. Suprenant
from a man named Dennis Farrell, but the
testimony in support OF this allegory broke
down under rigorous cross-examination, in
which the character of the evidence for the
defense was ventilated in the plainest terms
OF the English language. In summing up
the case the prosecution asked whether it
was not time, now that the s%ure.thing men
had been disposed of, TO attack the other
crying evil in this communicable men
who earned a ~disgraceful livelihood by liy-
ing on the wages OF sin earned by their So
called wives. The jury found Alfred Supre-
nant guilty, and assessed his punishment
at ninety days in jail and 800 fine and
costs OF suit. Marian Suprenant was ac-
quilted, as it was shown she had no guilty
knowledge OF the watch having been stolen.
The defense gave notice OF appeal. After a
vain effort to procure bail to 60 on his APP
peal bond, Suprenant was taken to Jail last
evening.

goods for the holiday trade that for rich
ness and magnifcence cannot be surpassed
anywhere. They present a fine display in

the talent employed in them and is the best
evidence of the exclusive taste of their Gus.

aces, as in them, heaped in profusion, can
be found the most expensive goods to be
had in the market. At the holiday season
Butte merchants make it a point to Guido
all previous efforts during the year, and a
visit to any of them now will prove
that this year they have outdone all FORM
er displays at this season. In them can be
found everything that can possibly be con-
ceived in their lines for use, elegance and
ornament in the way of presents. With
such an embarrassment of riches, with so
many beautiful aud elegant objects
to select from, the only difficulty is to con-
fine oneself to q choice once made. But
even this is provided for in the courteous
attendants who wait on the customers and
spare no pains to find for them exactly

stores are certainly this year something of
which the citizens may well be, proud as
evidence OF the refinement and wealth of

A GOD-GIVEN RIGHT.
That of Self-Defense as Defined by the
Court in Catching's Case.

1Hd1 VI 9c1x.DcIcuSc Us Deuueu DIV Gn6
Court in Catching's Case.
Tuesday evening, the motion for a new
trial in the case OF Territory We. Catching
was argued in the District Court. In this case,
it will be remembered, Catching was found
guilty at the present term of the District
Court of drawing and exhibiting a deadly
weapon in a dispute in South Butte with
Demars. After argument by Messrs. Camp
bell and Carne in support of the motion
and the County Attorney in opposition to
it, the Court decided to set aside the YER
dict. In the course of his remarks in giving
his decision Judge DeWolfe said the right
OF self-defense is a God-given right, and
when a nan confessedly larger than the de-
fendant advanced upon him, as it was
proved that Demars did, with hostile in
tent, the defendant was perfectly justified
in drawing his weapon and notifying
Demars thatif he advanced upon him it
would be at his peril, and the best proof of
the defendants justifable apprehension
was the fact that Demars afterward
knocked the defendant down. The court
set aside the verdict of the iury,
as contrary to the evidence.
The County Attorney said in that case he
would enter a nolle prosequi, as he had no
other evidence to 60 to the jury thar that
presented in the recent trial. The court
therefore, ordered a noiIe prosequi entered
ia the case. This relieves Catching of the
,osts in the case, which amount to about
S25s, and which the county will have to
