GRANTE THE WRIT.

Judge Hunt Hears the Mandamus Case
of Asse,nblynan Roberts Against Audi
tor Kcnncy.
HELENA, Mont, Dec. 26.-In Judge
Hunts our Tuesday was argued the
now casus celebre of Roberts VS.. Kenney,
being the petition of Representative Rob,
erts for a writ of mandamus to compel
state auditor Kenney to issue said Rob-
erts Il certificate for his per diem and
mileage as a member of the house of rep
resentatives. Tho ruling of the judge
was promptly made in accordance with
the prayer of the petition. Attorney
General Haskell claimed on behalf of the
auditor that the REALTORS petition was in
sufficient. that it did not set forth the
concurrent action of the senate and house
showing days Of service and mileage
claimed: that II was q rule Of law that
mandamus issue only when no relief is
speedily attainablc at law; that in the
absence of the authority of
the Joint resolution establishing his
claim the state board Of examiners must
pass upon relations of the claim before
certificates should issue. Another point
o'.oAASS SSilelal Sldteu, blt
did not argue, was that there might be
some question as to whether the relator
was a member of the legal house of
representatives. Col. Sanders responded
on behalf of the petitioner Roberts. He
read law on he province of mandamus
and the duty of the auditor. He held
that the petitioner had shown that he
was elected; had qualified and served as
a member OF the ho1ise a given number
of days: had travelled a given number of
miles to attend his DUTIES; that non of
those facts being denied, he was entitled
to certificates. Judge Hunt held that as
the fact that Roberts was state officer
was not disputed, he was entitled to GER
t%iicate and that the writ must issue.
MI: HaskSlI Suffered exception to the
ruling Of the court and was allowed until
Saturday morning at 10 O'clock to make
a return. The point in the whole mat
ter, the validity of Roberts certificate of
election, will then be argued.

Killed in a Georgia Riot
Grimes.

SIAwNEETowN, Ills. Dec. GA free
fight took place at a Christmas tree cele-
bration in Eagle Creek precinct at which
chairs, clubs, knives and pistols were
used. Thomas Burroughs, the church
%doorkeepcr and one of the most respec-
table farmers in the county, was dan
gerously stabbed in two places: Stout
Collins was hit in the chin with a bullet,
and several other persons received minor
injuries. The fight arose from a mistake
in distributing the presents. AS is usual
at such entertainments, parents in the
neighborhood had taken their gifts to the
church, where they were properly Ia
beled and hung up on the tree. Some Of
the tags were i%nsecurely fastened
and dropped off, but were re-
placed as accurately as possible.
When about a dozen of the presents had
been handed to the children, a farmer
named johnson grabbed a sled from a
child's hands and declared it was II he
had brought therefor his little boy. The
sexton tried to explain his mistake, but
johnson pushed him rudely aside and
started for the door, carrying the sled in
his hands. Some young men who had
been drinking tried to snatch the sled
from johnson, and he struck one of
them and was himself hit with a chair
and felled to the floor. The fight then
became general and for a time it looked
as though a number of the combatants
would he killed.
