LIVINGSTON, Jan. 6.-[Special. District
court convened in this city Monday morn
ing. A grand jury was impaneied and the
judge instructed them rs to their duties.
The Jury consists of the following citizens:
Chas. X. Glidden, foreman; George W.
Reece, John Rye, j.. G.. Villas, /. Orschel, w.
j. Vinnage and j. o. Sax. Judge Henry, as
is customary with him, explained fullytheir
duties and called their attention to particu-
lar cases of infraction of the law.
A very novel and interesting point was
passed upon by Judge Henry in the case OF
Holiday ct al. va. Rankin ct .al., involving
the rights of nonresident in water right
cases. King Bros, of Illinois. who own q
ranch on the creek in controversy. we're
made parties defendant to the action, and
the complaint asked for an injunction re-
straining them from dlyerting the water al
legged to belong to plaintiffs. Per
sonal service of summons not being
possible plaintiffs obtained an order for
service upon King Bros. by publication and
SUI WAS published. Upon motion Of
King Bros, to quash service and set aside
the order, Judge Henry ruled that the
action vas one for a personal judgment:
hat the state courts have no jurisdiction
yer nonresident iii such proceedings.
nd that the compiled laws Of Montana,
tile V, chapter !, section -, is unconstitu-
ional in SO far as it attempts to authorize
he exercise of such jurisdiction. The case
will probably be appealed. In this suit
Savage Day appear for plaintiffs and A.
J.. Campbell and A.. X. JOY for defendants.
The grand jury this afternoon reported
an Indictment against Urban Hosier for
-..I,~ .i,,-tv ,yItk,.t unao,fpsp, nnr H..
gree of guilt. Mosier is the man who is
alleged to have shot a companion miner at
Cokedale, and who gave the officers such Il
chase before he was captured.
Under Sheriff Sam Jackson returned from
a visit to his old home in Missouri Tuesday
morning, looking hale and hearty, but
dressed IN such style that his friends did
not recognize him. He wore a cileckered
suit, silk tile, carried a cane ard aped the
airs of an English dude. When III st. Paul
he WAS supposed to be one of Ignatius
Donnelly's Farmers alliance men by the
employees of the Merchants hotel.
The Rev. j.. w. Van Ingen, in an
able sermon last Sunday night. touched
slightly oil the temperance question. He
depicted the evils of intemperan:e and de
cried the use of liquors to excess, but did
not believe in prohibition. He did not be-
lieve IN signing a pledge unless to assist
and encourage some weaker brother. The
temperance question mas pesh aRitated CON
siderabiy here by Major Camp, a temper
ance evangelist. who has talked nightly fol-
about two months. He has been supported
by some of the religious denominations and
has done good IN reforming five or six men
who were addicted to the use of whisky II
excess. His Sunday talks, however. pui
| from the churches, and the ministers are
beginning to think that the major has out
lived his usefulness. Ho viii be given Z
benefit some time during the month. which
will without doubt be a grand success in
financial way.
