Two lone cases found their WY
into the police court yesterday. Bert
Morrison was up for vagrancy. He
was sentenced to 80 days in Jail, but
the court later suspended sentence
and gave him ten minutes to get out
Of the city. If he Is seen. here again
he will be run in and made to serve
the sentence. James Cavanaugh, who
has been before the court before, got
on a drunk yesterday and was sent
to work again on the streets for FIVE
days.
T. J. Jellison, q we'll known resident
of the city, was arraigned In Justice
Fraser's court yesterday on the charge
Of assault in the third degree. The
complaint alleges that Mr.. Jellison as
saulted and beat Davidella Clarke,
wife Of r. w. Clarke. The parties
had some trouble e an irrigation
ditch, which runs along their ranches.
Mr.. Jellison, through his attorney.
waived reading Of the complaint and
pleaded not guilty to the charge. A
jury trial was asked for and next
Tuesday at 2 p. m. set as the time
for hearing the case.
While other localities report a break
in the heated term, the thermometer
in this vicinity continues to seek al
titudinous heights and gives no prom
Use Of any intention Of forming the ac-
quainance Of the lower regions Of the
tube. Yesterday morning opened
cloudy and cool, giving promise Of re.
lief from the scorching weather which
has prevailed for weeks, but before
noon the clouds broke and the sun
shone with the same unmerciful inten-
sity and flerceness that has parched
the earth and scorched humanity ever
since the last days Of June.
Klondike prices are likely to pre-.
vail on lemons in this city during the
next few days. For the past few days
there has been quite a scarcity Of the
sour fruit occasioned by the.droughty
weather and the fact that the last
years crop is exhausted. The crop
for this year Is very backward and
will not be ready for market for some
little time. Where lemons were sell
ing a few days ago for 20 cents a doz-
en- they are today bringing 40 cents.
The supply In the city has been very
low; in fact only one firm has been
able to supply it's customers since the
first Of the week, and in this case only
a limited amount Of each order could
be furnished. In some places Of the
state the fruit has gone up to a price
that made 1t a luxury.
The announcement that the propos'
ed excursion to Red Lodge had been
abandoned proves to have been just
a little premature. While It is true
that the promoters were notified the
special train service could not be had,
it seems someone in authority at st.
Paul has decided to reconsider the
matter and notice has been received
that a train Of six coaches would be
placed at the disposal Of the excur.
sionists and that the train will leave
here at $3.50 next Sunday morning,
returning sometime during the even
ing. The exact time for the depar.
ture from Red Lodge has not yet been
definitely fixed, but 1t will be after
supper, thus insuring ample time to
witness the ball game and also giving
the excursionists In opportunity to
look over the camp. The fare for the
round trip has been fixed at $1.75.
