DISTRICT COURT TODAY.


DISTRICT COURT TODAY.
Among the Cases Docketed Are Ten Suits
for Divorce.
The second term of district court
for Yellowstone county for the year
1901 will convene in this city today at
9 O'Clock a. M, with Judge Loud of
Miles City presiding. The docket
shows quite a number of cases, which
it will take two or three weeks to dis
pose Of. Among those Oh the civil
docket are 10 cases for divorce, more
than have been filed for some time.
Whether Or not all petitions will be
granted is a hard matter to determine,
as Judge Loud, at the January term,
made a ruling that the plaintiff must
have at least two witnesses to cor
1oborate his or her testimony in order
to secure a divorce. This will likely
cause a little difference in the grist Of
cases for divorce hereafter, for the
reason that the petitions on former &C.
casions have been granted on the un-
supported testimony Of the plaintiff.
Considerable interest centers around
the case of Lee Eisenberg VS.. the Don
ovan : Mccormick company. The
plaintiff is suing the defendant for
damages in the sum of about SIS, 900,
