instant the window at the side of the
above mentioned man. who later gave
his name as John Williams of Daven

his face, inflicting a number of painful,
though not serious cuts.
The woman screamed, and then

damages.
MI. Hostetter is a liveryman at Miles
City and has also been a %stockgrower in
Montana for many years. On the Goth
of February, 1910, he purchased a car Of
horses of the Clark Horse Sales Co.,
which he was shipping to Glendive. In
some way he fell from a cabcose at the
Miles City depot and broke his leg.
The accident was a bad one. in conse-
quence of which the broken limb is an
inch and a half shorter than the other
leg. Defendant claims that thetrain
came to a standstill and that while he
was climbing down the ladder on the
side the engineer started and he was
jerked down and fell onto the rail. The
railroad company brought witnesses to
show that defendant was intoxicated
at the time he fell. but several bust
ness men from Miles City were sum-
moned in to discredit this. The COM
pany also put in evidence to show that
the ladder was on the end of the car
and not the side as testified to by defen-
dant. Attorney Geo. {. Stiles, of Stiles
& Devaney of Minneapolis, appeared as
counsel for Mr.. Hostetter and was
assisted locally by Attorney 7. F.
Murtha. Attorney Aubrey Lawrence of
Fargo appeared for the company and
was assisted locally by Attorney W. F.
Burnett. Mr.. Lawrence is recognized as
one of the best railroad attorneys in the
northwest.
MIR. Stiles is a new attorney in our
court, but he certainly handled his case
very ably. His firm makes a specially
of personal injury cases and live stock
damage claims against railroads. The
railroad company was in favor of taking
this case into the United States court,
but Mr.. Stiles insisted. on taking it to
Judge Crawford's court, as it meant a
great saving in expense of witnesses to
his client and he also felt that our dis
trict judge was a fair and impartial
jurist.
The evidence was all taken Thursday
evening, at the conclusion of which
Attorney Lawrence made a motion for a
direct verdict. Judge Crawford took the
matter under advisement Until Friday
evenl ng. The jury was excluded from
the court room Friday morning, while
the LAWYERS continued their line of
argument. It looked in the morning as
though the case might occupy the greater
part Of the day.
Among the witnesses called to Dick
inson IN account of the Hostetter case
were: Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Hostetter,
Cashier H. F. Lee. Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Gilmore. A. M. Ball, Barney Calleren,
Dr.. Mckenzie and DR.. Buskirk, of Miles
City Grant Hostetter of Sidney, Mont.

CRAWFORD HOLDING COURT
h0STET1ER INJURY CASE

Three weeks is all the time Judge w.
C. Crawford can give the Stark county
district court matters at this time and
it looks now as though the time would
be fully occupied. There are over eighty
cases on the calendar and the Judge is
very anxious to clear them all up. either
by trial or dismissal. He opens the
Billings county court al Medora on June
6. which leaves practically two weeks
time in which to finish in Stark.
In making the call of the calendar
Tuesday afternoon it was agreed that
those cases in which Senator L. A.
Simpson and Attorney F. E. McCurdy
were counsel should be left until next
week, as both gentlemen are interested
in cases being tried this week by Judge
Nuchols at Mandap and Judge Winches-
ter at Bismarck.
States Attorney T. F. Murtha said
that he did not think there would be
any prosecution in the D. P. Piesik
case. his understanding being that the
complaining witness wish ed to dismiss
the matter.
A case in which the village of Rich
ardton is much interested is a damage

guilty TO the charge of grand larceny. He
did not ask for any lawyer.
Frank Smith is the fellow who stole
some clothes last year from q party out
south. He was tried for the offense and
acquitted by a jury. Judge Crawford
took this into account when passing
sentence. and gave him three years in
the penitentiary, dating from Friday
noon.

friends on the street. After mo-

come with him. I'm off the stuff"
said he, "but want TO buy you each
a cigar"
They happened to be in front OF
the moment Led by Mr.. Fellner, they
all trooped in. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them. Be
fore Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped a box
on the glass case. Here y are" said
he. Best dime smoker IN town"
Mr. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. Have
you no other price," he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. my mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled off this time-worn
witticism, he addressed Mr.. Fellner
confidentially Your clothes sort OF
fooled me-" said he. you fellers are
a pretty well-dressed lot, you know" "
Then he put another box on the coun-
ter Here" said he, rs the best
