District Court.

Clerk Of Court Shelton has made up
the calendar for the term of court which
will convene in this city Nov. 26, and it
is now being printed. There are a num-
Der of cases both civil and criminal, for
trial. OF the civil cases, the greater
number are those which were continued
over from the last term of court. There
are five new civil cases, those of most
interest being that of Linda w. Slaugh-
ter VS.. the city of Bismarck, an action to
recover some Si'700 damages alleged to
have been sustained by the use of her
house as a pest house some thirteen
years ago. Attorney Allen has filed an
answer to the suit, and will look after
it's side of the case.
The case of Abraham Fred VS.. Re-
becca Fred will come up also. This
arises out Of a divorce granted the plain
tiff some time ago. The defendant came
to the city some months ago, and asked
to be heard in the case, alleging fraud
on the part Of the plaintiff. Upon her
representation the case was allowed to
be re-opened by the judge, and she will
make answer.
The criminal calendar contains a
number of interesting cases, the most
most important being the Wadsworth
murder cases which were sent down
from Billings county, for trial. The
cases were originally set for Nov. 90,
tomorrow, but it has been agreed to
allow them to go over to the regular
term a week later.
There are two cases, one against Mark
Wadsworth, and the other against
Lucind Wadsworth, his wife. The crime
alleged is the killing of Ed Stevenson, a
ranch hand, near Medora, a year ago.
The principal witness in the ease is Fred
Roehm, a young fellow 16 or II years of
age, who says he did the actual killing,
at the instigation of Wadsworth. The
boy has already pleaded guilty to the
charge of murder, but his sentence has
not been pronounced, and will not until
the other cases are disposed of. General
Alexander Hughes will prosecute the
! cases, and w. S. Hammond, a we'll
known Minnesota attorney, with L. A.
Simpson of Dickinson will defend.
The case against Harry Hungerford
will also come up for trial, and will be
watched with interest. There are now
two offenses against Hungerford, one in
escaping from the pen and the other in
his recent escape. from jail. He is a
pretty smooth customer, and for the
past month or so, since his last recap.
ture, has been model in his behavior, in
view of the proximity of his trial. It is
probable he will go back to the pen fol
another generous term. There is also a
case on the calendar against his partner,
Gable, but the latter has managed tt
make good his escape.
There are still five cases on the calen.
dar against w. H. Leonard, the vol
scalper. There were originally six cases
against him, and when he was convicted
and sent up on the first one, the others
were put over the term. Leonard has
still a couple of years to serve on the
first count.
Among the other cases to be heard is
n against Gottlieb Huber, Jr., fol
horse stealing: n against Eugene Va1
ney, for seduction; one each against
Broderick, Carney, Carol and Smith.
for escaping from the penitentiary; three
against William Keller, for disposing Of
mortgaged property, and the assault
cases against F. r. Little, Luther Cakes
and Hugo Solberg, for participation in
the assault on WI. Fraleigh, for which
Mills Beech was sent to the peniten.
