ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE
United States Jurors May Find
Themselves Cut Off From
Voting.
Arguments in the Street Railway
Cases Concluded Before
Judge Hunt
indictments Found for Forgery, Attem pit
ed Robbery and Keeping and
Attending Opium Joints.

The United States district court will be-
gin it's term on November 3 in its quarters
where the senate met last winter. The
county commissioners have rented that
room and the adjoining committee rooms,
to the federal government tor 81, coo year.
The court will be in somewhat of dilema
about the summoning of the grand and
trial iuries for the term. Marshal Furay
thinks the jurymen should be summoned
on the opening of court. There are others
who think that the court can set the day
for summoning the venire at any time after
the term begins. To call the jurymen to
Helena on the first day, November g. would
cause many of them to lose their votes, as
the general election takes place on Novem-
Der 4. With the prospects of a close cleo
ton some of the venire might remain at
home to vote and take chances of being ex-
cused by the court for their contempt in
not answering on the first day. About one
hundred cases are on the docket of the
United States district court. Among them
are quite a batch of cases of persons al
legged to have been trespassing on
the Northern Pacific lands. Another case Of
Importance is that involving the cutting of
timber from public land. Should the
amendment offered by Col. Sanders to the
land grant forfeiture bill prevails. all such
cases may be dropped if it is proven that the
timber has been used for fuel or building
purposes in the limits of Montana. The
most important criminal case is that OF
Fred Freeland, the young man accused OF
robbing the mails.

STREET RAILWAY CASES,
Arguments Concluded and tho Matter Now
Before the Court.

Arguments Concluded and tho Matter Now
Before the Court.
The public will heave sigh Of relief
when they learn that the street railway
cases are nearing decision. The argu-
ments we're concluded in the district court
yesterday and Judge Hunt took the matter
under advisement. His decision in the
matter of dissolving the injunction is ex-
pected to be rendered in a few days. In re-
ferring to a statement of Judge Mcdonnell
that the fight between the two companies
might result in bloodshed, w. E. Cullen, of
counsel for the Electric railway, said
he hoped the parties on the
other side would not advise such
warlike measures, but would use their best
efforts to restrain their followers. He ar
gued that if the injunction held good, the
Wallace people might allow the electric
cars to pass over their lines, but there was
no assurance that they would do SO. w. G..
Mcintyre, for the same side, claimed that
the purpose of the other road was to pre-
vent the electric railway doing anything
until its franchise had expired. HIS claimed
that under the constitution of the state no
exclusive privilege could be granted to lay
tracks on Main street. j. B. Claybere
closed the arguments for the Helena Street
Railway company.

Tho First Burial-What the Cemetery As
ISOLATION Is Doing.
The first interment, made Thursday in
the new cemetery of the Helena Cemetery
association. has caused attention to be
drawn to the operations of that corpora
| ton.
For some time the necessity of conven4
iently located, we'll managed and we'll kept
cemetery has been all too apparent Recog-
nizing this necessity, number of our citi-
zens, with Judge N. w. Mcconnell at their
head, organized the Helena Cemetery assoc
citation. They have purchased one hundred
and sixty acres of|fertile. well-watered land
about two and ohe-half miles north of the
city limits and one half mile west of Mon
tana avente. This land has been enclosed
by a substantial fence, the ground sur
veysd and divided off into burial plats and
is now under charge of an experienced sex
ton.
A large we'll is at present being sunk to
furnish an ample supply OF water for
fountains and large artificial lake in the
center of the grounds and arrangements
| have been made to set out five Thousand
| shade trees rs soon as the proper season for
tree planting arrives.
| Being we'll aware of the desirability of
direct communication with the city, the
association is at present engaged in open
ing up an avenue 100 feet wide from the
city limits direct to the cemetery entrance,
and, in connection with other property own
ers i'll that vicinity, has the assurance of an
extension of an electric railway now build
ing north of the city, to the entrance of
the cemetery. 1t appears to be the aim of
the gentlemen interested to make the GEM
etery a beautiful as we'll us permanent rest
ing place for the dead. If this result be
attained they will certainly be entitled to
the thanks of the community, for Helena
has grown to such a size that a we'll con-
Quoted cemetery is an absolute necessity.
For the present the headquarters of the
superintendent of the cemetery are in the
Office of Messrs. Mcconnell Il Clayberg,
Merchants bank building, where plans and
all information concerning the work done
and projected can be obtained. In CONVEX
sation with the superintendent yesterday it
was learned that the selling of lots had
already begun and that he had received
numerous compliments on the way the asso-
citation he represented had taken hold of
the work.
