Special to the Inter Mountain.
Red Lodge, Dec. 27.-The prosecution in
the assault case against Hon. w. F..
Meyer made a dismal failure in it's effort
to make political capital out of the mat
ter. The case was promptly thrown out
of court by Justice Mcintosh, as the
prosecution failed to establish it's side.
Mr.. Meyer did not go on the stand and
no evidence whatever was presented by
the defense. the case falling of it's own
weight. There is little doubt that the
prosecution has magnifed the whole
matter, If it is not an entire fabrication
for the purpose of it's influencing public
opinion against Mr. Meyer whose elec-
ton as state senator sat sorely on the
democratic minds. His friends are more
than pleased to know the effort has failed
without even a defense on his part.
