Boulder, Tune 30.-The July term of
the district court for this county will
begin on the 5th. 1t is not expected to
be a long session. Among the cases to
come up are those against G. W. Con-
nick on account of his assignment to
N. Genereaux of Butte and the closing
up of his business in Basin in that
way. leaving a lot of claims unsettled.
Among the new cases commenced is
one by Louis Hillebrecht, who, under
assignment of account dated Sept. 7,
1896. from Truman Hopkins. merchant
of Basin, commences suit against M.
l.. Hewett and wife for 1898 and costs.
The account was for balance due for
goods. wares and merchandise pur-
chased. D.. Strozzi brings suit against
l.. and ID. Parrin for 800 damages and
a decree establishing his right to GER

jury at the last term, will probably not
come up at his term, as Judge Parker
desires to get another judge to sit for
him in the case and it is somewhat diff
cult to make the arrangements at this
time.
The Commandment Of Ludwick Parrin
from ambush near his ranch in Elk
park. as detailed in the Standard a
few days ago., has resulted in a case in
Justice court here. He filed informa-
tjons against defendants StrozZi, John
Patritti and r. N. Rand, charging them
with the crime. They pleaded not gull

some neighborhood about Elk Park,
for r.. N. Rand has filed a complaint
against Sebastian VeZetti, charging him
with stealing a house. The process for
stealing and carrying away a house is
not divulged. but possibly ii Will be

trial before a jury defendant was ac-
quilted. The value of the wood taken
nv some one was shown to be about
six bits. Parrin vas also charged with
disturbing the peace, but the case was
dismissed on motion of the county at
torney.
Boulder has made no arrangements
for celebrating the Fourth and quite a
number will no doubt go to the neigh
boring town. Basin. though Butte, with
it's big celebration, will attract some
attention, particularly as Charley
Hartman is to speak there. The little
congressman has many admirers in
jefferson county.
Indications are that Jefferson county
is sending more ore to the shelters at
the present time than for a number of
years past, which is largely due 20
increased activity at Elkhorn. Some
new properties are being opened In that
vicinity which though of low grade,
will be very extensively worked. Tne
Northern Pacific train out or mere
Tuesday took II carloads OF ore from
Elkhorn and from High Ore properties
for the smelter at East Helena.
Harry and Fred Suhr. Basin boys.
were arrested the first of the week on
complaint of C. X. Gile and are charged
with stealing a calf. They are in jail
awaiting a hearing.
The county treasurer is making an
effort to collect delinquent taxes, which
have been neglected for a number or
years. and is taking steps to acquire
title in the county or have the owners
of property pay up. The delinquent
taxes on one ranch in the northern
part of the county loot up to over ST.
500, probably more than the ranch is
worth. 1t is certainly time that the
matter should be attended to. William
II. Tindall is out looking after the coll
lections.
