To Try DOtSOn For the Cullin-
ane Murder.
SHERIFF'S OFFICE ACTIVE
In Rustling Up Men Who We're Drawn
on the Special Venire--CaSe
Will be a Long One.

The sheriff's officers are the busiest
men in Deer Lodge county, they having
been called upon yesterday afternoon at
3 o'clock to serve subpoenas on a venire
Of 100 trial jurors with instruction to
make returns to the district court to-day
at 2 p. m. The majority of the 100 names
drawn are from Anaconda, but a large
per cent reside outside the city, there
fore the officers received little sleep last
night and more than one good taxpayer
was aroused from his slumbers during
the midnight hours and commanded to
be present in the court room to-day
where he will have to take his chances
of being drawn as a juror on the Dotson
murder case. All day yesterday was
spent trying to secure a jury. County
Attorney Duffy has completed his chal-
lenges for cause and Counsel Trippet
has challenged eight men for cause.
There are four more trial jurors to be
examined for cause by the counsel and
this may take % men of the special ve-
nire of 100 jurors who will report at 2
O'clock. After the challenges for cause
the county attorney has the right of
five per-emptory challenges from the T.
Jurors then in the box and the counsel
for the defense 10, therefore there is ev-
cry probability that the special venire OF
100 names may become nearly exhausted
before a jury is secured which will take
until some time tomorrow it not later.
Among the names drawn from the jury
box were several from Helmville and
Washington gulch. These We're thrown
out, the Helrnville residents being bar
red by reason of the smallpox there
and the residents of Washington gulch
because of the probable prejudice. they
living near the scene # the murder. Sew
eral names Of people living in the strip
recently coded to Lewis and Clarke
county We're thrown out. Among the
names drawn from the box We're those
of W. L. Hoge and w. NJ. Thornton. the
bankers. who have left Anaconda. These
names We're laid aside. as We're those of
Max Hammerslough. who is a witness
in the case, and J. v. Collins, who is an
alderman.
The II men now in the jury box are
kept under charge of Bailiff j. j. Walsh
while not in court. They We're instruct
ed not to discuss the case or read the
newspapers.
The district court was called to order
this morning at the usual hour and ad-
journed until . o'clock this afternoon,
the time set for the return of the special
venire of 100 trial jurors, which was was
given to Sheriff Conley for service. The
