timony Today.
CLARENCE KING IS SICK
PrOf. Grant Called Upon to Tell What
He Knows About Rock
An Objection.

The end of the big mine vein suit be-
tween the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany and the Boston & Montana COM
pany is now in sight-it will probably be
reahed the latter part of next week.
Al 11:2O O'Clock this morning Louis
Janin, the California expert, finished his
testimony and was excused. Unlike
some of the other experts in the case, his
examination was not fraught with those
dangerous holes into which some of the
other witnesses ran n fell while giving
testimony, but nevertheless it was rugged
and dangerous enough to suit the aver
age person. Altogether he was on the
stand a little over six hours. Mr.. Janin
is a portly man and does not possess a
very distinct pronunciation, bu what he
lacks in the latter respect is balanced by
a vein of humor as broad n generous
as a Dakota farm. His answers to many
questions created lots of amusement for
the attorneys and others. Asked by Mr..
Hughes to define ar expert on mines. Mr..
Janin said IN expert was a professional
witness, but he was not a professional,
the work he was doing being simply in
c'dental to his business.
The important part of his testimony
related to the poryhyry to which Expert
Tower referred while giving evidence for
the plaintiff. He took the stand that Mr..
Towers %porphyry was not porphyry and
should not rave been classed as such, but
on the contrary should have been de-
nominated as the "Towe sample"
1t was the intention of the defendant
to place Clarence King, it's last witness,
on the stand this afternoon, but Mr..
King was too i'll to be present, and sor.e
other matters in connection with the case
were introduced through Prof. Ulysses
Sherman Grant, a geologist of Illinois.
MI. Grant stated that Clarence King had
given him some samples of rock, but be-
fore he had time to tell what they were
an objection to his testimony was made
by Attorney Hughes, on the ground that
the number of witnesses had beer, limited
to eight on a side, n King was still to
come. The objection was over-ruled, and
Mr.. Grant proceeded to tell about having
Of preparing the slide incidental to the
determination of the character of the
rock. After the preparation he had, he
said, returned the rock to Mr.. King.
Mr. Grant further said he had arrived
from Chicago last Monday and done the
work during the week.
During the noon hour today Emma
Dugay was granted a decree of divorce
from Augustine Dugay on the alleged
6IOuIIu " CRUELTY, 1dlluIe u pI'Vlue anu
a few other things. Although the de-
PENDANT filed an answer to the complaint
and in the document accused his wife Of
having been too gay with a colored man
named Dennie, he did not appear in court
today to do the plaintiff battle. Evan o.
Jackson was her attorney.
A bench warrant for the arrest of Car
RE Lawrence was issued from the dis
trict court today. Miss Lawrence is Is
years old and is charged with vagrancy
and in~corrigibility. The complaint
against her alleges that her parents are
unable to control her because of hec way
ward and vicious disposition, md as a
result she is growing up in m~endicancy:
that during the last year she has roaned
about from place to place at late and un-
usual hours of the night; that she is ire
claimable SO far as the influence of her
natural protectors may be lawfully exer-
cised over her; that she visits places of
questionable resort and repute and in
