Court overruIes Second Demurrer in
Condemnation Proceedings.

-
Condemnation Proceedings.
By virtue Of an order made by Judge
Loud in chambers at Miles City last
Tuesday honors are W. in the mat
ter of the litigation instituted by the
Billings Land and Irrigation company
to secure r~ight-of-way across certain
lands through which the company's
canal will have to pass. Thus each
side has scored.
The defendants are Elmer G.. Sum-
mers, William Harrison, Emma Ly-
ons, L. F. Babcock, John Graham,
| William II. Clanton, Hettie M. Craw-
ford, A. M. Crawford, H. Yates, s. R.
| Salisbury, Sarah ]. Darlington and
| the American Life Insurance company.
Instead of making answer to the com
plant, the defendants joined in a de-
murrer in which it was alleged that in
sufficient facts had been set forth and
the complaint was also attacked on
the ground of ambiguity, etc. This de-
murrer the court sustained and the
plaintiff fled an amended complaint.
Again the defendants demurred and in
addition submitted several motions,
among them one to strike from the
amended complaint certain parts, and
another that plaintiff be required to.
make the amended complaint more
specific and definite.
Because of the lack Of time at the
disposal Of the court all parties con-
sented that the matter be considered
by his honor in chambers and without
argument. The order made by Judge
was received last Wednesday. It de-
MES the several motions and also
overrules the demurrer.
Unless defendants find some other
way Of attacking the new complaint
the matter will now be tried on its
merits.

by them came into their possession
by being returned with trays sent out
by them. They returned the things
and the compartments consented to a
dismissal of the action, conditional
upon payment Of the costs by the
Cinnamon. To this assent was given
and the matter was allowed to drop.
Invitations have been issued for
the conductors ball, which takes place
at Gruwell hall the night of April A..
In their preparation much originality
has been displayed. They are in the
form of a train order, bearing num-
Der, initials and the usual marks, and
direct those to whom they have been
sent to run special from their homes
and meet the reception committee at
Gruwell hall at 1855 p. M" on the
date of the ball. A large attendance
is expected, as Superintendent Boyle
has promised to run a special train
from Livingston, and it is hoped that
q speclal may be a from the Bur-
lington to bring up guests from sheri-
| dan.
Accepting the statement of the
superintendent of the company's eat
ing service as true, it is regarded
as little likely that the Northern Pa
ciic will build the long promised
new passenger station within anything
like a reasonable time. The super
intendent referred to was here a day
or two ago and said that plans were
making for the erection of a new lunch
and dining room adjoining the one
now in use. Because of the fact that
the company's eating houses usually
form a part of it's modern depots, as at
Livingston and other places, the In
tention of constructing a separate
building here for that purpose cause
many to believe that the talk Of a
passenger station to replace the old
was simply liberated atmosphere
somewhere near the boiling point.

are 26 miles apart, but the two actions
were fought at the same time The
Russians held strong positions.
The thermometer registered over ITO
degrees Fahrenheit and the soldiers snf

two divisions of infantry and some ar

assaults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn on
Sunday July So At Yushulizku the
Japanese carried the Russian right and
left wings. but on account of the
strength of the main Russian position,
they were unable then to press the at
tack. The two armies rested Sunday
night facing each other. At dawn on
Monday the Japanese resumed the at
tack and by noon they had dislodEed
the enemy and driven him four miles
TO Laokoling. At Yangse pass also the
Japanese were successful. Their ar

The Japanese forces passed the night

According 10 the 81. Petersburg cor
respondent Of the London Daily Tele-
graph, the youngest daughter of Profess
sor MerAheyeffesky, the well known
Russian educator, has just been hanged
In the fortress at Sehlusseiburg for
high treason
Every effort has been made by the
Russian authorities 20 keep the matter
from the public because Of the Outburst
Of indignation which followed the
hanging Of another young student for
an alleged attempt on the life Of the
czar some months ago.
The correspondent states, however.
that il has been learned that the girl.

ago 20 pack a quantity Of supplies for
the troops at the front, chiefly reading
matter and delicacies, struggled into
the packages 4 number Of seditious
pamphlets, which We're not discovered
until some Of them had got into the
hands Of the soldiers.
When accused, the young woman Is
said 20 have admitted her guilt and to
have declared that she exulted in the
deed. She was court martialed, found
guilty Of treason. and promptly hanged
No announcement Of the punishment
has yet been made in the official jour
mai aud now none is expected to be.
The young woman was Is years old,
and the government is condemned foS
its action. as il is believed that shE
