party of railroad men accompanied
by the necessary legal officers, made

proved to be two boys and confessed
the crime. Owing to their youth
they were given the alternative of a
flogging or prospective residence

proposition being accepted, a female

All sorts Of rumOrs are current in

A Light Attendance Of Lawyers-The
Criminal Docket an Important One.

dependent I-Court convened here this
morning, with q slim attendance of the
legal fraternity, the Helena bar being rep
resented by J. b. Clayberg, ). A. Ballet,
John IL. Shober and Thos. Casey. This
meagre attendance Of the Helena bar was
largely due TO the fact that owing to the
uncertainty Of Judge McConnell's tenure

disposed Of II his successor. however,
arrives In . few days. and qualities. ther
may be some civil cases disposed Of, a. the
supreme court at its last session provided
that there should be . months term ut JEFF
ferson county this term. The grand jury
was charged by Judge Mcconnell with
his customary vigor, and ct the
close OF his charge he remarked that In all
probability that this would be the last
charge which he would make 10 q grand
Jury In this territory, Q fact which is deep
ly regretted by all In the county, as during
the incumbency OF his Office he endeared
himself to the people Of Jefferson county.
There are awaiting investigation by the
grand jury two horse stealing cases, the
RsdersburR murder case and one or two
other cases OF minor Importance.
The Clancy murder case, In which Is.
Frank Walker killed two men In saloon
fracas, Ia set for to- morrow afternoon at
O'Clock, and that with other criminal cases
ready for trial will consume the remainder
Of this week. The Bryson case on change
OF venue from lie wis and Clarke county,
Ia set for next Monday, and IL In fair TO as
sumo. from the number of witnesses sub
poned by the prosecution and defense, that
the whole of next week will be devoted 10
the trial OF this important case.
