City to appeal police court opium case over jury trial
In Police Court a ruling on opium smoking led to a jury trial demand. Judge Woody granted a jury trial, prompting city officials to appeal to the Supreme Court. The district court affirmed, saying the offense and related charges entitle a jury trial. The issue remains whether police courts may grant jury trials in all such cases.

Point on Land Script SparksLand Claim Debate
Attorney William J. Johnson of Washington D C argues the location of lands by scrip may unsettle the title to timber lands in Montana. He seeks to locate a tract in section 8 township 14 north range 22 west with an additional soldier’s homestead right, contending scrip only valid within forest reserves. If upheld, this could affect numerous land claims and unsettled titles.
