The most important civil case
brought to trial in this judicial dis

in the district court. The action is
brought by William Munger against

ers and involves $4,000.
The trial was begun Friday and II
may run all this week, or even longer,
as many legal points are involved and
considerable time is spent in the dis
cussion OF them. 1t is likely that Viii
liam Munger, the plaintiff, will go OH

tiff will rest tomorrow afternoon, al
though this is by no means certain.
There is great array of legal
talent in the case, Mr.. Munger being
represented by E. w. Mettler, Judge
E. X. Cheadle, J. C. Huntoon and E.
F. Fearon, while the defendants are
represented by John Aylward and M.

Nature Of Suit.
AS gathered from Judge Cheadle's
opening statement, the old Munger
Cory compny secured in 1910 an op.
tion from Lepper & Carl for the pur-
chase of their ranch property of about
1880 acres in the Flatwillow section
This option was, in June, 1910, as.
signed to the defendant company. At
that time the Flatwillow Land COM
pany entered into an agreement with
the Munger-Corry company, under
which the latter was given the sole
right to sell the lands. Under the
terms of this contract the Munger.
Cory company was to receive one
half of the net profits on the sale of
such lands. This contract was as.
signed to William Munger, who as.
signed it to Stewart McConochie, who
finally transferred it back to the plain
tiff with the assent of the defendants,
who agreed to accept Mr.. Munger in
the place of Mr.. McConochie, while
Munger agreed to undertake the sale
of the lands under schedule of
prices to be fixed by the Flatwillow
Land company. This schedule was
later adopted and furnished to Mr..
Munger for his guidance. Following
this Munger began his work of secur-
in purchasers and, having secured one,
he notified the Flatwillow Land com.
pany. The latter thereupon refused
to carry out the terms of the contract
and the deal fell through through no
fault of the plaintiff. The defendant
company then entered into leases.

Lawrence Mclaughlin, a young son
of the defendant, testified to being in
the barn when the assault on his
father was committed. He came ou,
and saw his father appear in the door,

warn him not to come out
The state showed that Duffy was not
armed when he was killed and also

the fatal wound.
McLaughIin's Story.
Mclaughlin himself was, of course,
the most important witness for the de-
fense He is very small man and
quite evidently anything but combative
by nature. He testified that for a
dozen years he had lived in terror of
Duffy, who, twelve years ago, gave
him terrible beating, this first as
sault, like the last, occurring on Nc
Laughlin's place. After that various
threats made by Duffy were communi-
Gated to him and he said that for
years he had been going out Of his
way to meet the man. He told how
he had built the line fence alone and
for seven years had kept it up, Duffy
never contributing to it in any way.
Duffys stock would go over into the
Mclaughlin field by the score, and
when the defendant put in a crop on
one occasion, he went out and slept
all night on the field so that he might
drive off the stock and save his grain,
rather than to take the matter up
with Duffy. Some six or eight years
ago, on selling Duffy piece of land,
owned by Mrs. Mclaughlin, that he
wanted, he told the deceased that he
wanted to live at peace with his neigh
bors the rest of his life and asked
Duffy to be friendly. "He never re-
piled with a word" concluded Nc
Laughlin.
Afterwards, when the defendant was
made trustee of the church at Gar
neill, he went to Duffy and said if he,
the witness, had ever done anything
to offend the deceased, he asked his
forgiveness and asked that they be
friends. He did this because he knew
the man entertained enmity toward
