Fillmore. April 1.-THE regular session
of the Fifth judicial district court con-
vened here today with Judge Joshua
Greenwood presiding.
The first case upon the calendar was
that of John Galliger, who is charged by
the district attorney with burglariziug a
box car of the San Pedro. Los Angeles &
Salt Lake Railroad company at Lynn
Junction. Galliger is young man OF
tender years and when his case was call
ed Droba ton officer j. S. Giles called the
attention of the court to the fact that
he (Galliger} was less than IS years of
age. Attorney j. Nj. Hansen. counsel for
young Galhger Immediately apprised
the court of the fact that Galiiger had
celebrated his eighteenth birthday at
Black Rock and that he was in transit
to his parents, who reside at Denver. Colo.
Galliger. it appears, was simply stealing
a ride and had in his possession. when
apprehended, a package of crackers which
he had extracted from box to exist upon
while making the journey. He pleaded
guilty to petit larceny. however, on mo-
ton of Attorney Hanson, which was ac-
ceded to by District Attorney Melville
Sentence was deferred until tomorrow at
10 o'clock.
Glen Trimble was then arraigned on the
charge of aSsaulting an officer. This in
cident in which TrmDle is accused of
choking City Marshal Laver some time
ago while being escorted to the city Jail
for drunkenness, was continued for the
term.
The estate Of Gabriel Huntsman. de-
ceased. was then taken up for final set
Element and distribution. Attorney l.. r.
Huntsman. one of the heirs. objected to
the confirmation of certain property
known as the HuntSman hOtel-and he
came all the way from Seattle. Wash,
so he said, to enter his protest. He defied
the judge to make the order confirming
sale of same on the grounds that he had
not received notice of advertisement of
the administrator. Yet from his own
statements to the court il appeared that
he did have some knowledge of the sale.
Day, that the property should not be sold
for less than $4,000 There was not the 10
per cent deposit. however. as required by
the advertisement, and the property was
sold to G. r. Huntsman. the highest bid
der. for 5000. Upon this showing of the
records confirmation of sale was made
Attorney l.. r. Huntsman then grew spec
tacular and likewise dramatic he had no
evidence in support of his contention,
but he demanded to be sworn himself
which was done. and his tale of woe was
again TeVamped together with his same
demands and defiance TO the court. Judge
Greenwood did not take him seriously,
however but cautioned him that he would
certainly fine him for contempt if he con-
tinued his vaudeville performance any
further. At this Huntsman rushed from
the court room, remarkng as he went
that he would go back to Seattle. where
his legal talent was better appreciated
Huntsman was admitted To practice law
before the supreme court of Utah about
two years ago.

then brought up and order made giving
notice TO creditors to file claims
