ACQUITTED.
Thomas Howard Relieved of the Charge OF
EmbeZzlement.

The Howard case after having been in court
for three days, terminated last night at IL lis
o'clock. Ended to the very great satisfaction
public At the named hour the Jury came in.
and announced its verdict of not guilty.
Immediately many friends congratulated Mr..
Howard upon the happy termination of the
long continued charge. As is well known the
offense was alleged to have been committed in
March, 1876. An Indictment was found in
October 1877, and Howard has stood one trial.
the jury disagreeing. This time, after long
delay, he has been indicated, and goes acouit
of the serious charge. =
The court delivered the charge to the Jury at
6 o'clock. It was an exhaustive review of the
testimony, and exposition of the law govern
ing the case. In the jury room, the jury. stood
for while six to six, but finally the above re-
suit was reached.
in the case. And as the court declared, ''of a
very contradictory character
The prosecution was ably conducted by the
county attorney, and Messrs. H. J. Horn and I.
Y. D. Heard did the business for Howard. Mr..
Horn made the closing address to the jury. 1t
was CAREFUL painstaking statement Of the
case. Nothing eladed him, and he clearly and
understandingly presented every detail of the
affair to the jury.
The GLOBE has had occasion, during the
tedious trial. to allude to the nature Of the
case, and repetition is not absolutely neces-
sary. The sum and substance
OF the charge was that Howard was
alleged to have contracted with an English
man, recent arrival, named Richard Bules. to
purchase land certificates. Thirty-two hundred
dollars is stated to have been the sum repre-
sented by Howard to be necessary for the pur-
pose. when in fact it was $500 less. Of this in
all It's details he has been acquitted.

They Take Satisfaction Out of Each Other
on the Ice.
Joseph Cosey and John Stone are rivals in
that noble profession which consists in show
ing the weary traveller where his material wants
may be supplied at the least expenditure of
lucre. In addition to being highly endowed
with the necessary qualifications for pre-empt-
ing the grlp-sack of the guileless stranger and
steering him to their caravansary, they are &C
complished opponents of the art de istic.
While at their native heath, the depot of the
st. Paul q Pacific railroad, yesterday afternoon,
difference arose regarding the quality of fare
served at the respective houses, a befuddled
granger being the immediate bone of conten-
ton. For short time the quips and gibes
flew around as thick and sprightly as summer
heas, when the horrible suspicion was thrown
out by Cosey that the rival house had to en-
ploy two Africans TO keep the pismires FROM
making off with the cold pie.
The stranger evidently had a weakness for
pie, as the dastardly inuendo caused him to
remark, with a throat choked with something
akin to emotion, that he had partaken of late
lunch, and he guessed he wasn't very hungry
anyway. This settled it, and smarting under
the insult satisfaction demanded for out
ragged and injured honor, which was instantly
granted. 1t was decided that the mill should
take place on the river, at the foot of Sibley
street, whittier the principals, accompanied by
their seconds and a few friends at once started.
After passing the time o'day and glaring at
each other for a moment, the music set in,
Stone going to grass (or ice) first, with tapped

Unfortunately for the spectators Officer Nor
gan happened along at the conclusion of the
first round and after taking in the situation
he proceeded to take in the principals their ar
rest being accomplished after some difficulty,

will begin work to-day. They propose making
their visits frequent and persistent. until the
desired object is accomplished So come down.
The small amount of $4,000 is all that is
wanted to push the project along boomingly to
successful issue. The encouragement is ex-
tended that success will attend this final ap-
peal. The matter will be presented in such a
way that no philosophical citizen can refuse
to come down with his portion of the needful.

boom has actually been begun. Lumber, logs
and other materiel are on the site Of the pro
posed industry. Labor begins at once, and
already many are seeking and obtaining en-
ployment to put in the boom. Among others
who have been approached to subscribe is Gov.
Ramsey. he has been tclegraphed in Washing
ton, and the unanimous expression is given
him, that it is expected he will come down lib
