DISTRICT COURT.

The court assembled Thursday pur-
suant to adjournment with Judge j.
W. Fisher, presiding.
The case Of the Territory VS.. Lon
George, was proceeded with. Bramel
opened the arguments for the defense
and was followed by Carroll. Nearly
the entire day was taken up by these
gentlemen in reviewing the testimony
and arguing the ase
Judge Miller closed the prosecution
with a true and pointed argument.
Judge Fisher charged the jury on the
points Of law involved in the Ease and
submitted the Ease to the jury about
8 O'Clock.
About II O'Clock the jury returned a
verdict Of guilty of manslaughter in
the first degree, and sentenced him to
serve eight ysars in the penitentiary at
hard labor.
This verdict will meet with the gen.
eral appreciation and approval of all
law abiding citizens. Nearly all began
to feel that a soldier especially could
be shot down with impunity by such
worthless characters as the defendant
in the present case, and escape the PEN
atty Of the law. The prompt punish
ment Of Lon George will serve, we
hope, to dampen the ardor of others of
his stamp in taking the lives of men
without cause.
