JUDGE CLANCY WILL CALL

In Judge Clancy's court this morning
informations were filed against John
Moore. alias Hot Water Slim and Joe
Miller and Gregor Werder. The former
gentleman is charged with having assist
ed Quinn in the robbery of the Silver
State saloon in Arizona street on Christ
mas morning, and the other two are the
men accused of having attempted to steal
a brass plunger valued at s1S7 from the
Butte & Boston company's works on the
night of January 10.
Moore said he had engaged the services
of Attorney Merrill to defend him.; Mil
Ter stated that he had an attorney, and
Werder requested the judge to assign
him counsel which the judge did, select
ing NJ. L. Wines.
Before adjourning court for the day the
judge disposed of several civil suits. In
the case of May Niedenhofen VS.. J. r..
Young, an action to recover judgment on
a prOmissary note belonging to the es-
tate of the late Alexander Niedenhofen,
a dismissal without prejudice was agreed
upon. 1t appears that some time ago all
the notes belonging to the estate were
sold under direction of Judge Lindsay,
and Edward Plotting became the owner.
He now holds the Young note and is con-
sidered the proper person to maintain an
action if any is maintained.
The suit of May Niedenhofen against D.
c.. Porter, also a promissary note trans
action was dismissed.
The settings in two cases were vacated
and the court was consequently left with
out anything to do during the balance of
the day. The title of these actions were
Il TNn1iy We tho = o. Mon
tana Mining company and Charles H
Nickel VS.. Joseph Graf. In making the
vacations the judge said he would call his
calendar tomorrow and set a dozen cases
for trial each day. He thought that out
of this number he might get some work
for his jury.
