The trial of the last jury case before
the district court was finished Friday
afternoon, and the members of the jury
were discharged for the term. Court,
however, has not finished the business
which is to come before it, and the
session will last several days yet. The
case Of John w. Hefferlin cit al. against
G. w. Hartman ct al. occupied two days
in the Introduction Of evidence and the
| arguments Of counsel. Late Wednes-
| day afternoon the case went to the
jury. The jury was out for some little
time and entered court with sealed
verdict. The verdict was in favor of
the plaintiff and gives him $2444.O1, with
interest at per cent per annum from
the time of the contracting of the debt.
1t is said that the defendants will APP
peal the case to the supreme court, and
have that body pass upon the question
Of whether any agency sufficient to
bind the defendants existed.
The case of Mary A. Daley against
Ebenezer Daley, in which the plaintil
sued for alimony, was tried before
jury yesterday. The parties to the ac-
ton are very old, and have had a great
deal of trouble during their marital
life. Mr.. Daley was supposed tc have
been possessed Of considerable money,
and it was claimed by the defense that
the plaintiff had no reason to complain
of the treatment offered her by the
defendant, and that she had no suffi-
Gent cause to leave him. Mrs. Daley
claimed, on the contrary, that she did
not marry the plaintiff for his money,
and that he did not treat her we'll, but
abused her. The jury brought in a
verdict in favor Of the plaintiff, leaving
the court to judge of the amount of
alimony which should be settled upon
her.
Friday morning the case Of I. N.
Daley VS.. Mary A Daley was tried
before jury. The case was one in
which the plaintiff sought to enforce
his right to foreclose mortgage against
the plaintiffs, claiming that his right
to foreclose took priority over the right
OF the defendant, Mary A. Daley, for
alimony. The jury rendered verdict
contrary to this contention Of the plain
tiff. Attorney H. J. Miller represented
the plaintiffs and the defense was rep
I resented by Attorney John T. Smith,
Mr.. Miller says he Is convinced that
the verdict Of the jury was not a
righteous one, and he intends to appeal
TO the supreme court.
Inc case or the state Of Montana
against Guy Pollock, charged with as
sault in the first degree, was continued
over for the term upon the application
Of the defense.
The case of Mary A. Yeaton VS.. John
j. Martin will not be tried at this term
of court after all. II. j. Miller, attor-
ney for the plaintiff, told the Int
| Mountain Representative this morning
that the case would be continued over
until the next term of court. The de-
tendant in his answer denies that he
ever promised to marry the piai,
and, absque hoe, that the laws of the
state of Montana would have prevented
him from marrying her within three
years from the date of his divorce.
