From Tuesdays Daily
Police Court.

Business in the police court was particularly
tely Yesterday. The first case IN the docket
Is that of Thomas Williams, whose offense
Insisted in losing control of his feet in con-
buence of the immoderate inhibition of
dent fluid. In other words, he became
biously drunk, for the exercise of which
l,erican privilege he was required to con-
butte five dollars and costs. to the city
astlrv.
The second case was brought against v m.
Iris on a charge of using abusive language.
e complaint was not sustained and the case
! accordingly dismissed.
The next case was against John Denislon,
arged with engaging in a row dismissed.
lanes Nichols, for becoming intoxicated
turbulent, was assessed ten dollars and
Us.
The defendant in the last case was Charles
his, the young mar who last week made a
V cautious and safe attempt to commit
eide. 1t appeared from the evidence that
entleman who r~ejoices in the culinary So
ouet of T'apioca had IL some way incurred
enmity of Willis, who, bv way of crafty
his dislike, took occasion early OF Sunday
rning to jump Tapioca after the mannerin
ich jim Nye went for the heather Chinee.
pioca's defensive operations were Intellectual
disastrous. Willis first assaulted the enemy
h a bar glass with which he did terrible exc
ion, fracturing Tapoca's skull and otherwise
iously disfiguring the c%ountenance of his
Eersary. Not content with this initial tri-
phi, however, the aggressive young man
It proceeded to make a meal of his oppo-
It, and getting the latter's thumb into his
nth, took as large a bite as the diameter of
facial orifice would permit. However, it
we'd to be an unsavory morsel, so he next
ected his epicurean desires to Mr.. Tapio-
visual orbs, one of which he gouged u
hout ceremony and with no conjunction
conscience. At this point of hostilities
feast was suddenly interrupted by the
P~rference of the police, who marched the
nibal to the city Jail. Mr.. Tapioca having
he'd his head, bound up his thumb and
pstated his eye, retired for purposes of
operation, and yesterday morning very
perly appeared as a witness for the prose-
on.
he guilt of the man Willis being clearly
lblished he received from his Honor q
\, severe and %eminently just sentence,
lg fined 500 and costs and sent to the
nty Jail for a term of three months, The
is to be congratulated upon the fact that
b a turbulent and dangerous character has
n disposed of for that length of time.

Jury.

Special Correspondence of the MINER.
At $50 p. NJ, yesterday, Munson T.. Lobb,
convicted of manslaughter, was brought into
court to receive his sentence. Judge Galbraith
Informed him of the indictment founda against
him, of his trial, and the verdict OF The jury
"Grlilty of m~anslaughter," and asked him if
he had anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced against him; TO which the
defendant replied: CAT the time of the
shooting / was acting as all officer, aad l
thought 1 was such. 1 was led into this by
the best citizens of Butte. A good deal of
the testimony against me was cooked up, !
am satisfied. I did what l did in what |
thought was self defense, and still 1 believe
it was in self Defense
After these remarks MI. Napton, one Of his
counsel, made a statement 10 the court refer
ring to the defendants incarceration in Jail
for nearly eleven months; defe ndent's
belief that he was dn officer, and that
he committed the wrong only III the be-
lief that he was doing his duty the
character Of the saloon in which Che
shooting occurred. and The fast that Lobb
had been employed to keep he peace therein,
and the character of Butte as e rough mining
town; the necessity Of such mea3n es as
Lobb and hadtaken;t to Will h Judge Galbraith
said that he had listened attentively to the
testimony in this case, and was not Of the
opinion that thiss shooting was necessary, and
although it is not a case of the worst type of

severe punishment. The sentence that the
defendent pay the costs of prosecution and
that he be confined in the Territorial prison
for the term of seven years, was then pro-
nounced, and the Sheriff was ordered to see
that the sentence was carried into effect.
The Grand Jury at six o'clock returned into
court, and presented five Indictment and a
final report which was ordered by the court to
be spread upon the records of the court, and
published in the newspapers of the county
after which the grand Jurors were thanked
by the court for the efficient manner in which
they had discharged their duty. They were
then discharged for the Term.

IMPORTANT ORDER AS TO END IINE
The ordering Of a re-suryey of the claim
of Lemuel U. Goliath upon the West Wind
lode, No. 81, in the Little Cottonwood mining
district, Salt Lake coanty, Utah, is important
for all locators of mines to understa I'D, for it

In the Degenhart case Judge no les
closed for the defense at noon. His argument
occupied some four hou,s and a half in all,
being voluminous and exhaustive. Dis
trict Attorney Mayhem closed for the prose
cution at $3.50 p. H., his speech occupying
about two hours, and being one of his finest
efforts. The instructions of Judge Galbraith
were full and explicit, and it is thought i'll the
main favorable to the defendant, Degenhart.
The jury retired at 4 D. m. Quite a nunher
of ladies were present TO hear tie arguments.
The next case on the docket was that of
Jacob Hopkins, indicted fer murder. Ills
counsel, Messrs. Slapleton & Pratt, appeared
and asked for a continuance of the case until
the next term of court, Oh the ground OF
the absence of u witness for the defense.
The question of continuance will be decided
in the morning. In the meantime the case
of The Territory VS.. Joseph Campbell was
called up and a jury enpaneled. The exam
nation of witnesses will commence at nine
O'Clock in the morning. There are about II
witnesses for the prosecution and II for the
defense summoned in this case.
The ball given last night for the benefit OF

was being taken to supper, he suddenly
climbed over the stockade and attempted to
escape. Under Sheriff Johnston and Con-
stable Kelly fired their revolvers at him with
out avail. He was re-captured, however, aud
placed in irons. The cause of the assault is
not known, though we understand that Smith
had threatened something Of the sort on sew
eral occasions during the past two weeks.

b many respects the performance to which
large and fashionable audience at the
kre last night was treated by the Sawtelle
matte troupe, was far superior to anything
pre- presented TO the Butte public. The
pvement may be accounted for partly by
accession of new talent and partly by the
|nsely interesting character of the piece
Fented. As Alfred Adriance, Mr.. j. AL.
Rtelle sustained a difficult and somewhat
tgreeaGle part, TO the entire satisfaction
a critical and exacting audience. Mr..

though the part was ill adapted 10 bring
the conceded abilities of the gentleman

ing rare and natural dramatic ability.
Sawtelle, together with the minor char

TUESDAY. July 22-G p. M
As we limited would be the case to-day's stock
market has been feverish and variable with strong
inclination to slip away into that weak state which
is indicated by lower figures. At the opening prices
were irregular. creating hotchpotch of values that
was made up of some strong stocks, some weak ones
and some that hermaphroditic in their tendency
to be both neither. After this fashion. indeed,
the market continued for most of the day. although
during the last hour the weakness was deter
mined and closing prices were about the lowest Of
tho session. The dealers gros having sold out
to the obbing trade it depended upon this latter to
keep the wheels of speculation moving, and this
1t did in moderate way by turning what
steam there in the market upon the grangers
Lake Shore, Kansas City. and Delaware and Lacka-
1t not sufficient. however. to create any
very lively revolutions consequently the market be-
only weak, but dull In this condition it is
fair to presume it viii be left while. the large
operators being inclined to take back their stocks
except at lower figures. and not caring to do until
the solstice be passed and the shipments Of
breadstufs route to Europe be fairly estab-
lished. The halt IN speculation may likewise be at
tributed in a measure to the fears Of injury to
business in case of widespread epidemic, and this
morning there was some special uneasiness
created by rumor that strikes had broken
out among the employees of the railroads
centring at st. Louis While the share list was
weak there strong market for government
bonds. The sale OF the remaining four per cents by
the April Syndicate to the London market has
tripped up the banks and other institutions which
had delayed purchasing and has left them virtually
short OF the market and with no blocks OF bonds

that the Treasury settlements have been accom-
plished without monetary disturbance there is every
that it should remain until late in the fall
