of an absent complaining witness was en-
countered and the judge dismissed the
! action. Paul Kohler, another witness, but
not an important one, was also missing.
| After the prisoner and jurymen had left
the room the county attorney stated that
two or three months ago Arnold mad
made a proposition to Boyson to settle the
/ trouble for $175, but he had heard of it
and notified the principals and middle
men that the contamination OF such an
| act would result in further complications.
| Since then Arnold had disappeared. In

hat Arnold could not be found by the
sheriff.

Two complaints We're issued from the
county attorneys Office today. One
charged John Ekman with assault in the
third degree and the other accused John
JungO with assault in the second degree.
The latter's victim was Jacob Osborn.
He called in person at the office and had
the appearance Of having been roughly
used. His right jaw was swollen out Of
all proportions to a regulation jaw and
he bore other evidence of having had a
set-to. The trouble occurred in an East
Park street saloon.
Deputy Sheriff Searles passed through
the city today en- route from Deer Lodge
to Great Falls with Jack Donaldson, who
is wanted as a witness in a case to be
tried in the latter place.
G.. r. Shadwell and Katie Bush were
taken to Deer Lodge today by Deputy
Sheriff Evans. The former is billed to
stay there as long as he lives. but the
latter will remain only eleven months.
There is now a question as to whether
Miss Bush would have been called upon
to serve even as much as a day had she
not consented to plead guilty to the
charge against her-that of throwing
caustic acid on Mrs. Julia HOgarth, for
merly Marion Smith of Bozeman, because
she thought Mrs. Hogarth had stolen her
5000, all the money she had in the world.
Like the complaining witnesses in other
cases that have recently been dismissed
for want of prosecution, Mrs. Hogarth is
out of town, she having left soon after
Miss Bush accused her of the theft of
the money and gave her a bath in acid.
She is supposed to be in either Spokane or
British Columbia,
The trial of John Hesley, charged with
the murder of John c. Currie, will be COM
menced in Judge Clancy's court tomor-
row, provided the principal witnesses are

Witnesses for the defense are George
| English, Joe Dawson, Thomas Upde-
graph, James Cardwell, D. Dorais and
John Davis.
