Papers in the appeal case Of the state
against George Myers, Ferdinand Cortez
Powers and Walter Powers, OF Virginia
City. we're filed with tho clerk Of tho su-
prone ourt yesterday. In this case the
state is the appellant for the purpose OF
finding out what IL tho proper u IN
which to start actions involving INSIDE
meanors. From the papers ii appears that
Myers and the Powers on January 10 last
caught . man named George Christnot,
hung him up by the neck, tied him to a
horse, whipped him and otherwise ill used
him. The orand jury OF Madison county
indicted them and the cnse was SGT for
M ay 20. On May Is ]. II. Duffy. counsel
for the mon, moved the court to dismiSs tho
indictment on the grounds of want Of juria-
| diction. Judge Galbraith sustained the
motion. He held that the constitution
provided that district courts shall have
original jurisdiction in all criminal cases
amounting to felony and in all cases OF
misdemeanor not otherwise provided for.
The criminal offense of assault and battery,
he hold, was a misdemeanor, and by the
law Of the territory it was provided that
Justices of the peace should have original
jurisdiction to try this %offense, with the
right of appeal to the district court. The
constitution continued the law of the terri
tory in force as the law of the state. 1t wal
clear that the trial of offense such as as
sault was otherwise provided for" than by
the district court. I'm short" said thu
Judge, mo prosecution for any mlsde
meanor which can by existing law be com.
menced and tried in a tribunal inferior
to the district courts can be initiated in
district court. But after such prosecution
shall have been determined in an inferio
court the Judgment may be appealed to tn
district court" County Attorney Clarl
took an appeal for the purpose of settling
the question.

SHE WANTS A ES.
Mrs. Woodbridge Asks That John w

Mrs. Woodbridge Asks Tina John W.
Thompson Pay Her $4,000.
Mrs. Catherine Woodbridge has brought
suit in the district court asking damages
from John w. Thompson in the sum of
$40, 900. The cause of action is alleged
false imprisonment. Mrs. Woodbridge, it
will be remembered, rented the upper part
OF the Penn block from MIR. Thompson,
who, believing that she was about to
leave the country with the inten-
ton of not paying him what she
owed, had her arrested as she was about to
40 away on the Northern Pacific train. She
lay in Jail several days, when she was re-
leased by order of Judge Hunt, who found
that Mr.. Thompson's affidavit on which the
arrest was made was defective in that it
did not allege that she had any money In
her possession at the time she was sup
posed to be leaving the city with intent to
defraud her creditors. Mrs. Woodbridge
claims as the ground for her suit, injury to
her health and damage to her business and
re putation.

which displeased Ex-Trustee Howey. Hot
words were exchanged and after some mu-
tual coordination Trustee Jockey called
Ex-Trustee Howey a liar. The latter struck
out and his fist landed On some part of MIR.
Jockeys head. Before the gentlemen could
SQUARE off for a regular set-to, Mayor

A QUESTION OF MILEAGE.
How . Man Must Travel When Doing l
at q County's Expense.

How = Mar Must Travel When Doing 1t
at q County's Expense.
On Feb. 8 last, A. j. Mcmillan, of Glas-
gov, with eight or nine others. was sum
moned to Glendive to appear as a witness
before the grand jury in a case against
w. P. Clark. Mcmillan went by way of the
Great Northern to Helena and thence by
way of the Northern Pacific to Glendive.
The most direct route was by way OF the
Great Northern to Buford, 1873 miles, and
thence by stage line to Glendive, q distance
of seventy-thrse miles moro. The incon-
veniences of the route and the inclelnency
of the weather, Mcmillan says, made 1t
impossible for him to travel otherwise than
As he did, which was the shortest all rail
journey. though 1874 miles each way.
When he made his affidavit
of attendance and distance travelled
and presented it to James G. Ramsay,
clerk Of the court, tine latter refused to al
low him for more than 422 miles. he re-
fused to accept this. claiming a distance
travelled of 1865 miles going and return
ing. Mcmillan brought msndamus pro-
ceedings before Judge Milburn, claiming
that the county commissioners had not es-
tablished q table of distances, and that he
was entitled to mileage according TO the
route he had travelled. Clerk Ramsay, IN
defense, claimed that the most direct route
was by way of Buford, and that knowing
some nine or ten people would be wanted
from Glasgow, he had made special ar
rangements with the stage company to &C
commodate them. Judge Milburn de-
MED the application for mandamus.
He said: ''To hold that the petitioner
could go by way of Helena would be to hold
that he might 60 by way of San Francisco,
if the junction OF the two roads we're there.
The proposition is absurd. No reasonable
man could send a messenger from Glasgow
to Glendive by way Of Helena when he
could send him a route only one-fourth the
distance. BY way of Buford the journey
would be less expensive, even though the
traveller were compelled to hire a special
conveyance. What a man would not do for
himself because of extraordinary expense he
should not require the county to do for
him." Mcmillan took an appeal and the
papers have just been received by the clerk
of the supreme court.

Mrs. @. G.. Albright, living on Brecken-
ridge street, near Ewing, went to Sheriff
Jefferis' office yesterday and complained OF

years. Sheriff Jefferis sent the mother and
child to County Attorney Nolan, and in the
meantime vent out and arrested Pruver,
who was placed in Jail. The county attor-
ney had the little girl examined by DR.:
Treacy, who found u%ndoubted evidences OF
a criminal assault. The girl says that Pru-
yer met her on the street on Monday and
induced her to accompany him up in the
hills. whore he committed the assault. she
said nothing to her mother on returning
home that night, but yesterday morning
Mrs. Albright found that something was
her story. Pruver is a musician. The
county attorney directed the sheriff to hold
him, and will file an information in court.
The ofrenss is punishable by imprisonment
in the penitentiary.

JUDITH BASIN ROLLER MILL.
The First Mill in Fergus County Is New
Completed and Making Flour.

Last Saturday the Judith Basin Roller
Monday the mill was open to the public,
and quits a number embraced the eppor-
tunity to witness the process of converting
wheat into -four with new and improved
machinery. Although the mill is new and
not yet warmed up to its work. Mr.. STILES
is greatly pleased with the manner in which
everything moves along. The water power
is all that could he desired, moving the mn-
chinnry with great rapidity and evenness.
The Hour now being made is OF excellent
quality. Mr.. Stiles regards it as nearly the
equal of MeCormick's hest, which il manu-
factured at Grand Forks. Oak. But allow
ance must be made until the mill is in thor
ough running order and the spouting cleared
al all dust accommodating during the WORK
OF construction. Mr.. Stiles does not enter
tain a doubt but what as good fiour can he
chief trouble to contend with is the amount
Of oats and cookie found in the wheat, but
in time this will he obviated by fall blowing
Of wheat land and running the wheat
through tanning mills before bringing it to
market. With these precautions and the
improved machinery for separating the
wheat from dirt the very highest grade of
flour can be produced.
The people OF Fergus county now have a
tirst-class mill, and every effort should be
made to produce the wheat TO keep it in
operation, to the end that every pound OF
llour consumed will be made at home.
