On Friday afternoon last John w.
Vassar passed through the city on
his return from Ft. Laramie, where
he appeared as a witness on an i'm
portant case. The readers of the
COURIER will remember his arrest by
a detective in Iowa last winter, and
the subsequent notices we made of
the same. The arrest, as we have
previously stated, was the outgrowth
of enmity and a most ungodly de-
sire and plot to injure an innocent
party. He was hurried to Wyom-
ing and thrown into prison. For
months he lived in a damp, disease
breeding cell, and when liberated he
finds himself slowly dieing with con-
sumption. Retributive justice soon
overlook his prosecutors, and most
of them are undergoing trial for the
offence charged to Vassar. But the
Young man is nearly at the end o
his life, and a few more weeks a
the farthest will find him in hi
tomb. His aged mother and fathe'
are nearly heart-broken at the sac
fate Of their son, and the authoritie'
and others in Wyoming connected
with his arrest and incarceration
may yet pay dearly for their treat
ment of an innocent party.

timber was being cut from school

particular purpose, and all trespass-
es liable to prosecution under the
laws of the United States. The pen
alties collected for trcspass, however,
would not inure to any school fund
of the territory. The United States
has not granted the title to such
lands, but has reserved them, in Or

a state shall be erected out of such
territory, the same may be granted
to such state. In relation to the
| right of the United States to pros
ecute for trespass, | think there can
be no qucstian. Section 2,641 ofthe
revised statutes provides specifically
the punishment for cutting and re-
moving the timber from the public
lands; and while | am not aware of
any statute which provides for a rule
of damages for using and cultivating
lands of the United States which
cannot under the law be sold, still |
am of the opinion that the United
States has the right to recover mesne
profits for the use of said lands. You
may therefore advise Mr.. Beadle
that if he will furnish this depart
ment with information as to She cut
ting and removing of timber from
sections Is and SO or any other pub
lie lands in the territory Of Dakota,
giving time and description Of the
tract trespassed upon, time the tres
pass was committed, and the person
or persons by whom committed, the
same will receive prompt attention.
You may also advise him that if he
will furnish to this department like
information Of persons who are cul.
tivating and using such sections
proper action will be taken thereon
