Assignment of Cases to
he Tried.

The trial of ]. A. Gregory, the desperate
and horsethief who shot and seriously
| wounded Constable Moss at Loveland last
summer, when placed under arrest for
stealing a team Of mules, has been set for
next Monday in the district court. The
case was continued last term on the appli-
| cation OF Gregory, who complained he was
unable to secure some important witnesses.
The prisoner asked for a further continuance
on the sam grounds, but Judge Thornell
/ yesterday refused to further postpone the
case and notified Gregory that he would
have to go to trial Monday unless he could
make a sufficient showing to warrant a
further continuance.
Jesse Thompson, Fred II. Hansen and
Frank Paul, indicted at the present term,
were arraigned and entered pleas Of not
guilty. Henry Robinson, the negro porter
, at the Ogden hotel, indicted on the charge
Of assaulting a guest with intent to commit
murder, pleaded guilty and was given a
twenty-day sentence in the county Jail.
The case against Mrs. B. p. Yates,
charged with inanslaughter in connection
with the death of her daughter, Ethel Yates,
in this city, does not appear in the original
assignment made by Judge Thornell yester-
day.
Yesterday was a busy one for Judge Thor
nell and a number of matters were disposed
of. Arguments in the demurrer in the
case of Hiram Golstein against William
Arnd, county treasurer, were submitted and
the demurrer overruled. This case arises
from the attachment Of e. E. Adams shoe
stock by the county treasurer for delinquent
taxes.
