June Term of the District Court Yer,
Tame


Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, June 26.--The June term
of the district court of the Sixth judi
cial district convened at the court
house this forenoon at 10 o'clock. 1t
was a tame affair The calendar was
called and two of the four criminal
cases went over to the next term. In
the case of the state of Montana VS..
Patrick Daugherty the defendants at
torney, John T. Smith, gave notice to
the court that he would move for a
change of venue to an adjoining county.
The case was passed pending such mo-
ton No jury will be called for this
term. The court term will not be
closed, however, until July g. as consid-
cradle routine business must be attend
ed to. The case of the city of Living
ston vs. Thomas Howell, on appeal
from the justice of the peace court, was
dismissed The cases which went over
were continued on the application of
defendants counsel
Sunday night the first burglary COM
mitted in this city for long time was
committed in the fruit and strawberry
store Of Sox & McCue. The thief en-
tered by the back door and took the
contents of the till, about 81 in cash,
and departed the way he came. AS far
as known nothing else in the store was
disturbed. The intruder turned the but
ton on the storm door in the rear of
the store and then smashed a pane out
of the door opening into the store prop
err. This done, it was an easy matter
for the thief to turn the lock of the
back door and a no less easy task to
rifle the till of it's contents. The back
door opens upon rear room of the
store, where part of the stock is kept,
and there was little likelihood of the
noise made in effecting an entrance be-
ing heard on the street.
Friday evening of last week a 13-
months'-old child of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Crosser. of Chimney Rock wandered
from home and fell into the swollen wa
tiers of Trail creek, which rolled past
the house in boiling flood. No one
saw the child fall in and it was three
hours before the body of the child was
found washed up on the shore at some
distance below the house. Mr.. Crosser
is one of the employees at the Trail
creek mines. The funeral of the child
was held in this city Sunday, the inter-
ment taking place in Mountain View
cemetery The parents have the symp-
athy of the entire community. Deaths
in the flood are not unexpected happen
ings during the high water, but the pa
thetic nature of this incident makes 1t
doubly to be regretted.
Miss Sadie Frazier, a colored woman
from the bad lands, ''cussed' an officer
this morning and shocked the early ris-
ers by her wicked language SO that the
bluecoat landed Sadie in jail. She was
arraigned before Judge Bender this af-
ternoon and his honor gave the woman
a fine of $50 dollars and costs, amount
ing to $3.50. Judge Bender is unus-
ually severe upon offenders of this class
and teaches many needed lesson.
To-day a complaint was sworn out
by Railway Detective c. B. Batten
charging James Flynn, C. F. Smith, H.
P. Hansen and William Irwin with
breaking and entering box cars in the
Northern Pacific yards The men were
given trial in the justice court and
sentenced to 80 days in the county jail.
This is the first conviction here under
the Campbell law, passed in the last
legislature, which vests trainmen with
police power in such cases as these.
Dennis Curran, sheriff of Missoula
county, was in the city to-day and took
| away two men who We're arrested here
by City Marshal Nelson on suspicion of
having broken into drug store in Mis-
soula and stolen quantity of cutlery.
Curran says he is satisfied that he has
the right men. Mr.. Curran was at one
time a resident of Livingston and has
many warm friends here who We're glad
to see him again.
