Counsel Who VIII Appear for the

Yesterday on Sealed
indictments.

BY the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE. April 1.-THE district court is
again nearly ready for n long seige Of
criminal trials. Thirty-one indictments
for felony were reported by the grand
jury yesterday, and these cases will be
disposed Of ty the court before any civil
cases are taken up.
There will be n number Of very inter
esting trials. One of these will be the
trial Of Joseph Barriere, charged with
numbering his'wifc, and of Thomas Bry-
ant, charged with matricidc. OF no
less interest will be the several
s ,s,s,s Of vii, T. !. roH y. ,nSsr, ,Sn; h. fG e
supposed TO be the fire bug that kept prop
erty owners In Butte in an agony all last
fall. The mystery of the Jubainville rob
hery is also to be cleared up. II is under
stood that Marie Rigal has told all she
knows Of the affair, and that others must
suffer. instead of herself. The case Of
Larry Smitzhger and Hannah Stcnberg,
accused OF blowing up Oscar Stenberg
with giant powder, is OF equal interest. In
nearly all OF these Ceases there is much
doubt and mystery, giving ample play to
the abilities OF the prosecuting and defend
ing attorneys.
The trial of cases will not begin until
next week, the trial jury having been ex-
cused until 10 O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Il. nj. Lowrey has beer excused from SER
vice. II is likely that the trial Of Joseph
Barriere will be the first he.
