District court will convene Mon.
day next. There are two criminal
cases on the docket, both continued
from last term. These are the grand
larceny case against George Ayres
and and a burglary case against Ed
Walters Of Utica. While there are
many civil cases on the docket, the
most important of which will con-
Germ title to mines and property at
Gilt Edge, and which have hereto
fore been noted In these columns, 1t
is improbable that but few of these
will come up. In the Gilt Edge mat
tiers a continuance to next term IL
expected, either by consent or after
argument. Should the Ayres ease be
postponed again, Clerk Wright
thinks the term will last but a few
days.
DR.. w. F. Hanson has had some
correspondence with the officials of
the fish commission at Bozeman and
Washington and matters seem now
in fair way to secure a consignment
of brook trout for the restocking of
Big Spring creek. DR.. Hanson's ap-
plicatiOn received the endorsement
of Senator Carter and the Washing
ton authorities and the final arrange
ments will be made with those at
Bozeman. The fish are from six to
weeks old when shipped and
are sent In cans containing from
5000 to 10000. Full particulars con-
corning the water, banks and fish at
present In the creek were furnished
by the doctor and the number sent
will be decided by the manager at
Bozeman. The government will pay
transportation to the nearest rail- |
road points, but local sports and
Others interested must defray the
cost of the overland journey. AS
LeadbOrO Is little nearer than Boze-
man. the doctor thinks 1t would be
az well to bring them direct.
Leslie McEvOny, of Gilt Edge, ff-
teen year old son of James McEvony
was seriously injured Sunday last by |
the explosion of a nitro-glycerine
cap. The boy, together with several
others of about his own age, were
carelessly playing with caps, having
secured them from the house with
out the knowledge of the parents, |
and were exploding them in an iron
kettle. As the McEvony boy held
one In his hand another was about
to be exploded, and placing the I'M
used cap In his teeth, as he had seen
his father do. ran to a safe distance
from the expected explosion. As he
ran he fell, and the cap In his teeth
exploded, injuring his face and mouth
severely. At first 1t was thought
his whole lower Jaw had been torn,
but upon examination by physicians
1t was found that the injury was not
SO serious and the jaw will be re-
stored to use. All the teeth, except
q few of those further back, were de-
stroyed and the lips severely cut.
The boy was brought to Lewistown
and is doing nicely.
While the matter of securing title
to the ground used by Lewistown
citizens for cemetery purposes, is not
by any means settled, yet State Reg
lister Moore has SO arranged the
matter that we will certainly not
lose possession and may acquire
title later. 1t appears, according to
the opinion of the attorney general,
that public" lands used for ceme-
terry purposes for term Of five years
become the property of the citizens
SO using 1t, such tract not to exceed
five acres, and that other public"
lands may be coded to the citizens of
a town. village or city, yet in this
instance the sections of the law re-
ferred to are not applicable. The
Lewistown cemetery is situated on
land coded to the schools of the state,
to be held In trust by the state for
those schools and the act OF congress
fixed $40 an acre az the lowest figure
at which these lands could be sold or
the title transferred. The attorney
general holds such lands r not
public" But pending further in
vestigation, or the purchase OF the
land by the citizens, Register Moore
withheld twenty acres from sale on
