HELENA, Oct. 2S.-The trial of Cam

of w. j. Oliver, will begin January ?
In Judge Smiths department of the
district court. Today was the time for
Remy to plead, and he appeared IL
court with his counsel, Edward Hors'

being absent from the city. The state
was represented by County Attorney
La Croix. The plea Of not guilty was
entered for Remy by his counsel.
Before Remy entered the plea, Mr..
Horsky submitted q motion attacking
the Information against Remy on con.

that the order made allowing the filing
OF the Information against Remy be
vacated on the ground that no evi.
dence was submitted to the court in
support OF the application to file the
Information, but was made upon mere
motion of the county attorney. The
allegation is that the making OF the
order against the defendant is q de.
privatton of his liberty without due
process OF law aud violative of the
provisions Of the fourteenth amend.

Regarding the opening of the Crow
