AChicago Tribune writer says that south
ern Dakota has resisted the efforts of the
Hills to create a new territory and out of
that opposition the Hills have become
alienated. This item of intelligence was
obtained in Bismarck. The people Of
southern Dakota do not really care a straw
whether the Hills country remains IN Dako.
ia, joins some other territory or is made
into a separate division Of its own. What
we do object to is that in leaving US the
Hills proposes to take with them the larger
portion of Dakota and give us an i'll shaped
strip running from the Missouri river to
Canada.

JUDGE wHlr1AkER's DECISION.

New Orleans, Feb. 23.-Judge Whitaker
to day rendered q decision upon the motion
for a new trial in the case of Thomas c.
Anderson. The judge holds that the YER
dict is in accordance with the evidence. As
to the first point, that James Prince, one Of
the cosored Jurors, was not q competent
juror, he being under age, Anderson there
fore having been tried by eleven Jurors in
violation of the constitution, the court held
that Prince swore on his poir dire that he
was twenty-one years of age and had regis.
tered and voted in 1876. The burden OF
proof as to his not being Of age rests with
Mower. The mother Of the juror is sick
and demented, and there was no record of
his birth or baptism. The judge then re-
views the testimony of witnesses. several of
whom had contradicted themselves or could
not fix dates to the age of Prince. The ties.
timony altogether does not prove the age
of Prince. The opinions of witnesses ana
hearsay evidence alone has been offered for
the guidance OF the court. The court can
not say that Juror Prince swore to a lie on
his g0ir dire.
On contradicting . mass indefinite state
ments in regard to the point that jeremiah
Lincoln, another juror, had expressed his
opinion of Anderson's guilt before the trial,
and on his roir dire examination declared he
had no fixed opinion. the court holds that
three witnesses examined on the point de-.
clared they never had heard the juror make
any such statement.
Regarding the testimony of Littlefeld
and Senator Zacharie, which, it is claimed
by the defense would have materially aided
the counsel in proving his innocence, the
court holds that both these witnesses could
have disproved the evidence of McGlowin,
Collins and Evans, as to the presence of An
derson at the opening Of the Vernon returns,
to which also Governor Wicklife, on the
hearing Of the motion for a new trial, had
testified. Littleield was on hand when the
motion was tried, but be was summoned by
the defense. Nh. Zacharie was not positive
as to the absence of Anderson. There wa
no other evidence offered on this point. The
motion must be denied.
