The Statesman puts it at Grover
thus; 1t isa part Of private his
tory of the last sesson ot'the Leg
islature that when the acts repeal
ing those odious laws, the Portland
Police law and the Litigant law
came before the Governor for his
signature, the weak and wretched
tyrant bowed his head and wept in
very terror of the situation. Had
he signed either act, he would have
given mortal offence to one Of the
most powerful factions of his party,
and to allow both to pass would
ruin him inevitably, and this is the
man who is to-day trailing bis dem.

The Courier says: A model trial
lately came off before q Justice Of
the Peace at Montesano, W. I.
A man was having a preliminary
examination for felony-a assault
and battery with deadly weapon,
with intent to kill. q jury Of six
men were summoned upon the de-
mand Of the defendant, and the
defendant had his trial, during
which his honor the Justice took
great care to tell the jury they
were not trying the man for the
crime committed. The trial over,
the jury retired for about fifteen
minutes, when juror poked bis
head out Of a window and asked
the Sheriff, who was hard by, if
they could not agree to disagree?
The Sheriff informed him that they
could not bring in such a verdict
in the District Court but probably
they might in this court. So the
verdict was; eve the jury in the
above entitled case agree to disa.
gree" 1t is needless to say the
jury was discharged and another
of good and lawful men summoned,
and the case tried over again. His
honor, the Justice, said to the Jury,
after they were sworn: Gone jury
has already tried this case and
brought in verdict which was a
contempt OF this court. We wish
it distinctly understood that you
are not to try this man for the
crime of which he stands charged.
We will now proceed with the ex-
animation" After a trial lasting
two days, the prisoner was bound
over in the sum of 81 200 toappear
at the next term Of the District
Court, in default OF which he went
to Tburston county Jail.
Here is about the biggest story
we have seen. 1t is from the Salt
Lake Tribune Of April Oath; We
were yesterday shown, by Judge
Varnes OF Alta a sample of the
richest ore we have ever seen in any
country. From an assay by Mr..
Davis, it goes 4,080 ources in gold
and 1927 in silver to the toD-equiv.
alent to $S4,57S 35 TO the ton.
The specimen shown us was knock.
ed off a piece weighing six pounds,
and small grains Of pure gold, the
size of a pin head scattered promis-
cuously through it, can plainly be
seen. 1t is fote, and when first
found was regarded as a tair sam.
Pile OF milling ore, the richness of
which was not discovered until the
piece was broken up last week.
When asked where this precious
sample came from, the Judge gave
m evasive answer. All the infor.
nation we could get was that the
sample had been picked up last
