RENDERING THE VERDICT.
The scene at its reception was the most
solemn and impressive that your correspond
has ever eheld. a terrific storm ragged
without, piling fast falling snow into huge
drifts, and rendering the atmosphere cold
and uninvitng. Windows ratified, and the
keen winds rushed up and down the gulch
with an o,ninous whistle, Or. tearing through
the forests that o'erhang the camp, resounded
from rock to rock and hill to hill like echoes
from Inferno. The large court room, dimly
lighted by half dozen lamps. score or two
of loungers scattered here and there, some

muftled in his great coat, sitting motionless
upon the bench, and the prisoner
in chair before him, his face beaded with

upon again. Bring in the jury exclaims
the court, and the baiiifs unlocking the door
to tho ante room, admit the twelve, who, in
single file, bo,iies erect, features immovable
and expressionless as marble, pass into the
box, and take their eats. The roll is called,
and at Its conclusion the judge inquiries,

that Martin s. Cauk springs from his seat,
and, clapping his hands to his forehead, ex-
claims, in tone of utter agony, only God,
have come to this?' Then it was, that,
with an innocent boyhood behind him. tue
gallows just before him, he experienced the
fullness OF his dreadful situation.
Mrs. Baughton will have her trial this
week, as will also Ned Buntline Ford, who,
in cold blood, shot down the wealthy Texas
cattle man, Rupell, making four murder
trials for the present term of six weeks.
JOKE ON A ST. PAUL TRAVELLING MAN.
The boys have great laugh upon A. G..
Mathes, commercial traveller for the St.
Paul clothing house of Mathes, Goode &
Schurmier, who, while in that resort of The
town, Hughes & McNary's, boosted that lie
had already won the heart of pretty cham
bermaid, which fact had been attested by a
kiss. During Mathes' brief absence
the boys put their heads together
and concocted a nice little practical joke.
Reliable men were enlisted and posted, the
cylinder of very large revolver was re-
moved, and when Mathes returned McNary
cvlared N. told him that the girls brother
had heard of Mathes' assertion, and was even
then searching for the calumniator, with
blood in his eyes. The party repaired to Tom
Hanley's ''heal,h Office" and while waiting
for prescription Bill Allen. hat down
over his eyes and frothing at the
mouth, rushed in, slammed his fist
down upon the prescription desk, and, glar-
ing at McNary, demanded satisfaction for
the SANDER upon his sister. II mean bust

tested his innocence, and remarked, thou IN
that he could place his hand upon the guilty
party. (Mathes stood two feet away)
Mathes pulled Mac intoa corner and beg yed
him for the love of heaven not to give him
away, but Mac had his own
precious body to protect, and
couldn't promise. just then in came Deputy
Sheriff Peterson, also frothing at the mouth
aud blood oozlng from every pore. Said he,
"Where is the scoundrel that siandered my
cousin? Where is McNary?" And as he
-spied the latter his hand few TO his pistol
pocket, and Mac dropped to his knees,
loudly asserting his inu ,cence. ..Ihen It's
you, lncarnate fend,'' shrieked the two as
they turned upon Mathes. The latter, ter
riied by the onslaught, made beo line for
the door as shower of glasses
crashed over his head, and that pistol struck
the wall before him. AS no deer ever ran,
Mathes fed to the WEIGH house, pursued by
the crowd, and rushing into the office begged
McCray to save him. The clerk believlrg
that serious trouble prevailed, seized key,
and with Mathes scrambled up to the gar
ret, where the drum FER was given Sc
Guided room. There he begged McCray to
secure him horse at once
and suit of female apparel
with which he could escape from town
to Camp Ruhlen, but McCray would not, and
left him alone in his terror. He bl4nketed
the windows, took out his revolver, and en-
scoHcing himself upon the bed, sat there in
mortal dread of violence all night long, and
until this evening. His meals were taken to
his room, and the waiter, up to the racket,
added to his misery by Informing him that
the lower halls Were crowded with ,lespcra-
does. The chambermaids, informed by the
clerk, stood without his room, and talked
of violence until the poor victim could con-
tain himself no longer. He called the clerk
and begged that a barber be Immediately
sent up, as he intended to shove, have his
hair cut close, and, in the disguise of wo
forever. Six BARRIERS called at lis room five
minutes later; wardrobe sufficient for
Flora McFlimsey was sent up, but before he
could carry his plan into execution, COM
mittee of the boys waited upon him,
and after great effort convinced him
that it was all a practical joke. The affair
was subsequently liquidated; hands were
shaken all around, and while Mathes con
tossed that Black Hills boys know how t.
crack a joke, he also admitted that they ap-
preciated the good name and character of
onest but poor females, and would protect
them with aiacrity. He says that he will
never again utter word slighlingly of any
girl.
A heavy snow storm is raging.
