The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1875-02-05

Count Jaubert, who recently died, once
attacked Marshal Soult with a number of
epigrams, and the Marshal, meeting him at
a reception of the court of Louis Philippe,
turned his back on him just as the Count
was coming forward to speak to him, and
this in the presence of thirty people. 'sMon-
sieur le Marechai," said Jaubert, quietly,
81 have been told that you considered me
one of your enemies. I see with pleasure
that it is not 500 "Why not sir?' said
soult. Because" said Jaubert, you are
not in the habit of turning your back to the
enemy" The Marshal held out his hand,
and the Counts success was complete.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES.

In the official account just issued by the
Prussians, it is admitted that at Grayelotte,
Comte de Moltke nearly lost the battle.
The official document says -" Comte de
Moltke was not always SO well informed as
if he were the director of both armies. He
attacked, as he believed, the right wing of
the enemy, when it was their center; the
error was soon corrected from the want of
ability on the part of Bazaine; but it is
honorably avowed that the error might have
proved calamitous.o

- A Heavy Loss.

Information has been received here that
the stable containing the horses of Wrh.
and Archibald Macarthur at Copperas
Creek, where they,are putting in afock,
was burne1 last week Wednesday night,
involving heavy loss. The fire was dis
covered about three o'clock in the morn
ing. An effort was made to get out the
horses by those who discovered the fire,
but they were unable to do so., Seven
fine horses, with harness and quantity
of grain belonging to the Messrs. McAr
thur, were burned and are a total loss
The building belonged to the state. The
loss of the McAr.hurs is estimated at
$4,000, with no insurance. The loss on
the barn is about $500. A-special dis
patch to the Chicago Times states that the
fire was undoubtedly incendiary.-

Monday morning last it followed the

barge, picked it up and carried it aboard.
remarking to those with him that he was
going to keep it until he found who
owned.it and then buyit. The pig not
being accustomed to being carried IN

reached the ears OF Frank, and he, at,

SATURDAY, DECEMBER II, 1875.
Off the Track.
! Hetyas tall and straight as marrow.
His name was Timothy Carr.

| LIS Wdo 4i1uOIhy Vail
He wore red shirt and his age could
not have BEEN more than twenty-five.
He had worked two weeks i'm the woods
telling the great pine trees, when warm
sunny day came along.
This caused him Ito lay aside his axe
though as all excuse, he said to himself
and then;said it aloud toIhis companions
in camp, that ne would not. work for such
low wages any longer.
| Said he with sneer: Fifteen dollars q
month and board. Bah, You may work
for that ifyeu wish, but as. for me, ''give
me liberty or give me death" 's''-ih'
He struck!
An increase of wages was not forth
coming, so he came forth to Cheboygan.
He sought the Intoxicating bowl! He
did not know that death was only foi ty
rods from him.
In quarter of an hour he had partial
ly drowned his sorrows.
In half an hour he was jubilant.
In an hour he was ready for anything
that came along, and by that time the
Sheriff came, saw, and conquered.
He went to Jail. - 70
That morning when His Honor game
into court, the hour was late. - ''''i
The court room was well filled with
idle spectators lounging about fora bit
of excitement, to while. away a tedious
hour. tl95 4 btlh 4AUa
AS His Honor took his seat and prepar-
ed to trim his nails before going to work,
he. remarked that his coal fire went out
during the night, that he had a terrible
time starting it again that morning, and
as he pared his nails, he teld us all about
I it. We gould fapty we saw how he
looked when he first discovered that the
fire was out. While he was talking Mr..
Carr was ushered into the presence of the
court.
The red shirt he wore caused him to be
at once the Scentrals figure of the court
room, for all eyes were turned upon him.
Having made the proper entry in the
s,reaS-A-hrr.H-- ------.---.---.----r-~--,
clasped his fingers together and twirling

you are here for the purpose of being

THE irwin case, which has agitated
the people of this county for over two
years, after a tedious trial of twelve
days, was concluded on Sunday night
by the jury, which had been out thirty
SIX hours, bringing in a verdict against
the defendant Irwin for $2,400. The
amount claimed by the County Com
missioners was the deficiency in the
account, about $ll 900, together with
sundry other sums, amounting in all
to over $4,000 and tax aud penalty.
The evidence was conclusive that
there was large deficiency in bond
bond account, but the jury from theil
verdict does not appear TO have fixed
conclusively the entire responsibility
for the deficiency upon the defendant
Irwin.
The rulings OF the Court upon the va
rious law questions which arose in the
trial of the case, and the exclusion by
him of important testimony to show
the defendants guilt, impaired to a Sc
rious extent the interests of the county
We do not state that many of these ru
lings were unfair and partial, but w
do state that they would have impress
ed the minds of the people as being
less so probably, had they emanatet
from Judge whose own brother wa
not party defendant. The case i
ended, SO let 1t rest.
