From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
The objections of the prosecution
against the form and suficiency of
the pond furnished by the defendant
in the case of State VS.. Hayden have
been overruled by Judge Loud, who
last evening approved in writing the
security furnished for the appearance
OF the accused when called for trial.
AS previously published in The Ga
zette, County Attorney Harris first
objected to the form of the bond and
the defense furnished a new one,
drawn in conformity with the objec-
tions made. The court approved this,
SO far as the form was concerned,
when Mr.. Harris made a written pro-
test against permitting the name of
C. P. Slater to remain on the bond, al
leging that Mr.. Slater was not worth
the amount of his justification above
the exemptions allowed by law.
Late yesterday afternoon the mat
ter came up and the protested surety
was in court and examined under oath
as to his qualifications. The exam
ination appeared satisfactory to the
Judge and he made an order permit
ting the name of Slater to remain
on the bond and then made written
onnrnuo1 cf tho honl in ifc or%;~o<x,
Fight for RoubIes.
Arguments were heard yesterday on
the motion of the defendant to dis
miss the action of the Private Com
mercial Bank of Wilno, Russia, VS..
Adam Felix Won Klutchinski.
The case is one out of the ordinary.
A few years ago the defendant was
arrested in this county on the COM
plant of the Russian authorities,
who alleged that he had defaulted in
q large amount while cashier of the
bank named. On the showing made
the state department granted the re-
quest OF the Russian government for
an extradition of the defendant and
he was taken back and tried. Con
viction followed and Won Klutchinski
is now a convict in one of the Russian
penal settlements.
When Won Klutchinski arrived in.
this state he had a considerable sum.
of money and with another man en-
gagged in the sheep business on the
Musselshell. He opened an account
with the First National bank of this
city and deposited the money he had
left after having stocked his ranch.
Although he was taken back, the
money for some reason was permitted
to remain and a civil suit is now pend
ing in the court for it's recovery. 1t
was to dismiss this action that the
motion argued yesterday was made.
Judge Loud took the matter under
advisement and granted time for the
submission of authorities.
Notes.
On motion of the county attorney
leave was granted yesterday after
noon to endorse additional names on
the information filed against Louis
Leon, charged with assault in the
first degree.
Edith M. Brooks was granted a d.
vorce from Robert M. Brooks. Mo-
defense was attempted and the de-
cree was ordered on plaintiffs proof.
Mrs. Brooks is awarded the custody
of the minor children of the couple
and also SIS for attorney fees. In
addition the defendant is ordered to
pay a monthly alimony of $25 for the
period of 10 years. Wilful neglect,
desertion and cruel, inhuman treat
ment were the grounds alleged.
By default and on plaintiffs proof a
decree of divorce was ordered in the
case of Sarah R. Roth VS.. Peter p.
Roth.
This having cleaned up all matters
then ready for hearing, Judge Loud
ordered a recess until Tuesday, Jan
uary 10.
