WHAT THE JURY HAS DONE
Mrs. Glenn VIII Be Liberated on
Bonds-Wyman's Trial VIII Be
Expensiue-No Business
in Court Yesterday.

Missoula. Nov. 19.-For many months
the suit Of Robert Boyle and his wife
against John Hume, manager OF the
Gem theater has furnished regular
item for reporters and when 1t came
to trial yesterday in the district court.
the item-chasers prepared TO bid fare
well to a longtime friend. But prov
idence was kind TO the scribes and the
case is still on the docket and will, IN
all probability, remain there for at
least three months longer. BY .hat
time the Brunnell-Logan case will
probably be revived again and there
will be another standing item to take
the place of the variety theater suit,
in case the latter is disposed of. 1t
would have been bad, anyway, at the
beginning of a hard winter, to have
such a good producer of news dis
posed of, and 1t is probably for the
best that the queer jury that consider
ed the case yesterday didn't agree.
1t is a fact that they didn't agree.
The Standard to-day contained a re-
port of the peculiar action of the jury
last evening and their subsequent re-
tirement for the night. 1t will be re-
membered that the jury reported that
a verdict had been reached and hat
judgment was found for the plaintiff

of them changed his opinion and the

The grand larceny case against Fred
B. Wyman promises to be an expensive
one for the county. The value placed
on the stolen horse and saddle in the
Information filed against Wyman is
$50. This. II is generally believed. is
too high. and the chances are that Wy
man will not be found guilty of a more
serious charge than petty larceny in
which case the expense OF the trial will
seem higher than ever. The cost is
made so great by the fact that IL has
been necessary for officers to go to
Helena and Ovando for witnesses and
for the stolen property.
