Livingstone Mont, Feb. p. 1901.
District court convened Monday morn
ing for the February term for Park
county Judge Frank Henry presided,
and Sheriff Frank Beley exercised his
vocal powers for the first time in de-
caring that the honorable district
court is now in session pursuant to an
order of adjournment Clerk Davis
| was a trihe timid in reading the min
utes and attending to his other duties,
| but on the whole he did the business
! as if he had done nothing else all his
| life but officiate as clerk of the court.
The first case called was that OF the
state of Montana against III. A. Fields,
| charged with having forged check and
| drawing the money which should nave
been paid to Steve Tierney. Fields was
arraigned on the information and plead
| ed not guilty. His case Will be tried
| next week.
d! Guy Pollock, the youthful handler of
the winchester rifle which came SO near
ending the earthly troubles Of Frank
| Buttery, was called to plead, but as he
was not present in court the case was
] Dassed until next Monday. He Will be
represented by Attorney John t. Smith,
| who will fight the case on plea Of
not guilty.
In the civil calendar innumerable
| cases were called, but all that was ac-
| compished was the granting of two
| divorces. Eliza NJ. Gooch was granted
| divorce from Walter G.. Gooch on the
grounds of extreme cruelty. The case
was tried by court, the default of the
defendant having been entered for want
of answer. The testimony of the plain
lAf, =
had at divers and sundry times laid vio-
lent hold upon his wife and mistreated
her in more ways than one. He also
had been unfaithful to her, according to
his own admissions, which We're admit
ted in evidence. The decree was signed
and filed.
| T.. r. Lamb wanted a divorce from
Elizabeth Lamb. According to the tes-
timony the parties We're married at
Mammoth hot springs a couple of years
ago. The defendant did not answer the
complaint. The officer who served the
summons testified that he had found the
defendant in house of prostitution
and that she was making her home on
the row The divorce was granted.
Patrick Daugherty, the notorious
Irish jew" was present in court to
answer the charge of assault in the
first degree, alleged to have been COM
mitted some two years ago upon the
person of Barney Hanlon. The action
| grew out of the litigation over the
Legal Tender claim at Bear guch. Han
Ion was working on the claim under
instructions from II. Bush. 1t is claim
ed that Daugherty attacked Hanlon
with a gun and injured him severely
The case has been postponed time and
again, and at this mornings session of
the court the county attorney moved to
dismiss the action. it being apparent
that sufficient evidence to convict could
not be had. Daugherty was once con-
victed but secured new trial. He is
now free of the charge.
