The larger part of Judge Lindsay's
time was taken up today with the hear
ing of the application of Missouri 1.

habeas corpus. County Attorney Duffy
of Deer Lodge county represented the
power that has Mrs. Barnhil deprived
of her liberty and Walsh 4 James ap-
peared for the applicant. At a late hour
this afternoon the respective sides were
doing each other real legal battle with
no apparent prospects of falling back.
Mrs. Barnhill was arrested by Sheriff
Conley in Anaconda on the goth of o.
tober, the charge against her being that
she was about to leave the state without
settling an Indebtedness of $215 due
Merchant MacCallum of Anaconda. She
was out on bail a few days. An applica-
ton was made to the court In Ana
conda for a writ Of habeas corpus, but
for some reason it was not heard and
the matter was taken to the supreme
court and that body sent it to he court
of this district.
Judge Lindsay appointed John Nc

minors, vice Colonel Emmett Callahan,
resigned. The citation issued to Mr..
Callahan to appear in court and show
cause why the appointment should not
be made was dismissed.
