Payday Jack" Lehman was COM
PEELED to pay a fine of $40 in police
court today for fighting. 1t was he
who SO sadly disfigured the coun-
tenance of Sam Robbins, who earliey
in the day was mulcted in a like

A report was current yesterday
that Judge Loud had met with a seri-
Gus accident at Miles City and that
he would probably be unable to 20
vent court here next week as a re-
suit. The story was that he had been
injured in a runaway. AS nothing
appears concerning the matter in last
evenings Yellowstone Journal it is
taken for granted that the report was
wrong and that nothing of the kind
occurred.
AS an outgrowth of the fall election
further complications have arisen in
| Rosebud county. A petition is cir
culating praying Judge Loud to cali
a grand jury to investigate the coun-
TVS financial affairs. Whatever nay
be the final results of the election
cases, it is certain that much bitter
feeling has been engendered and will
be harbored by the different factions
for years. 1t is generally accepted
that the %neighboring county is "up
against the real thing"
Sam Robbins, a gentleman of color,
was in police court this morning on
the charge of disturbing the peace
by fighting. Although he was found
guilty, to the observer it appeared as
though the other fellow had dope
the fighting, as hardly a square inch
of the defendants face retained any
of its original proportions OF hue
having been mauled until it looked
like a piece of raw beef. He paid his
fine and said he would do more bust
ness with his honor, as he intended
to have his assailant arrested.
Action has been begun in the dis
trict court by Henry Chapman agains'
Sophie and Christ Carstens to fore

ruary 6, 1902. One of the notes Was
for $3,732.7O and the other for $1,000
both bearing interest at the rate of
per cent per month. In his complain
Chapman alleges that the second not
is still unpaid, while $39O.70 is ais!
due on the first. In addition he alst
wants judgment for the costs and at
trney fees, amounting to $3.50. F. Fl
4 Hathhorn represents the plaintiff.
Dan Kelly was among those givel
an audience in police court this morn
ing. The charge was disturbing thu
peace by having been drunk. Kell.
said he was a stranger and claime'
to have arrived from Forsyth only
few days ago. He said he had beel
working in Rosebud county, al
although his hands did not bear tn
imprint of honest toll, and he also re
fused to say what he had been dc
ing. The mans appearance and hi
actions caused the suspicion to arts
. that he was one Of the h%orny-hande'
toilers who worked" in the count,
to the east under the superintendent,
= of the famous ''Anheuser-Busch Kid,
+ investigation into whose methods i
now in progress there. Kelly was no
