on the Docket.
The December term of the district
court for Carbon county will convene in
this city next Tuesday. The docket
contains four criminal and forty six
civil eases. The criminal cases are OF
small consequence, the most serious one
being that Of the state against B. A.
Harlan, editor Of the Carbon County
Sentinel who is charged with criminal
libel in publishing an article calling in
question the honor and integrity Of John
Met Cullough Of Joliet, assignee for A. @.
Talmage, who failed in the hardware
business while at Gebo. This case was
continued from the last term of court
and the defendant is doubtless anxious
for the trial to take place, 50 as to def
nitely settle the matter as to whether he
is to eat his Christmas dinner at home
OF in the penitentiary. The other three
criminal cases have grown out Of the
action Of the Bell Telephone company in
attempting to construct line into Red
lodge without conforming to the city
ordinances. The defendants were con
victed in the police court on the charge
Of violating the city ordinances being
fined some $1,000 in the aggregate. The
company put up a cash bond and the
cases are on appeal.
