Big Timber. Mont, Nov. 13.-The Rob-
case, the first murder trial in
the history OF Sweet Grass county, is
considerable excitement today.
A regular jury of 40 names was drawn
last week, and during the day As special
jurors have been called, yet the panel
cannot be filled and there are still per-
challenges. An evening session
of the court is now in progress, but there
is little prospect of securing a jury be-
fore tomorrow.
