~--JEFTEEsoN CRY, May I0.-There are
really but three bills now before the Legisls-
ture Of any interest to anybody In particular
The penitentiary bill, the insurance bill and
the FAilrR0d law. The first is now before q
Conference Commistee of the Senate and
House, the House failing to agree to the
amendments made 10 the bill by the Senate,
and the Senate refusing TO recede from them.
u is quite probable that the Conference
Committee will fail to agree on the amend
ments and .hs. tho bill will not pass, leaving
the law governing the penitentiAry as it has
been. There are still . great many insgr-
pnee men here looking after the insurance
law. The bill wss set for to-day; but was
not reaehs6.

Livingston county recently furnished a
curious result OF a murder iIial. One Oaield
was tried for q murder in the first degree,
aud the jury found him guilty of murder 10
the second degree. A new trial was granted,
for some reason or other, and when this
came on the court instructed the jury that,
as the defendant had already been tried once
for murder In the first degree and not found
guilty, If they believed him guilty OF that
crime they must acquit, Tho Jury did be-
licye him guilty of murder in the drst degIeo,
therefore under the instructions, returned q
verdict Of not guilty. AS the case stands
then, the prisoner goes free because one
jury believed him guilty OF murder in the
second degree, and an albsr OF murder in
the first degree, and under the law he can
not be punished for either. There seems to
be good deal more Of law than Of Justice In

70 tho People d miller County.

Fellow CTTIzESs:
We learn In the lsst: few days that certain
reports %prejudicisl 70 our standing y in cir
c~ulaiion in our county aud which II Is repre-
sensed to us we say is unqualified false.
Report No. ] says that at the March term
Of the court ]. II. d. Tomson, publisher of
the Yindicator proposed to.the court to CON
tract for the public printing for the sum and
price of three hundred dollars per annum, to
be applied on 8 certain bond held by the
County against said Tomson. And that the
Court dIsregarded said Tomson's bid and
awarded the contract to A. F1lkerscn, pub
Usher Of the. OsAoE Valley BANNER, at the
price OF twelve hundred dollars per year.
Report No. 2 says that the Court kept con-
cealed from sald Tomson the knowledge that
security for the psrformsncs::of his contract
would DO required.
Now all we have 10 say Is that there is not
one word OF truth 10 either Of the above re-
ports. AS TO the frat repor. there meyer
was any such propositloa made BIZ Mr. Toms
Ton q ne znek rontsass d@arded 70 FuIkets
son, neither was such talked or thought OF
by tho court.
As TO report No. 2 we say positively that
Mr.. Tomson was informed before the bid Of
Mr.. Fulkefson was presented and long boz
fore the contract was: awarded, that the
court would require security.
We do not know positively by whom these
reports are circulated, perhaps by honest men,
but we do know that the man who started
said reports, be WHO he may, has wilfully
misrepresented us and perverted the truth
for some purpose unknown 10 Us.
What we lone is all on record and we in.
yite all interested TO examine for themselves
as to the truth or falsity of this, our state
ment. We were elected by the people OF
Miller County irrespective of party or rings
TO strictly guard the interest OF the county,
this we feel that we have done and shall cor.
tlnue to do TO the best Of our ability, regard
less Of the howl of any and all soreheads and
slanderers. ASd only ask an indulgenl
public to examine the records for themselves
and neither take our word or the word oI
those who would misrepresent US.
