ROYAL CoMMIssION-We had the
pleasure of gazing on a remarkable doc
ument last week. 1t was nothing
less than n commission for our distin-
guished fellow citizen, chaplain Lewis
Lutz, from the Car of Russia, appoint
ing him as Grand Decision Cyclops of
the Royal Order of Egyptian Monks.
This commission was sent here by spe-
cial messenger direct from st. Peters
burg. EmpOria is established as the
headquarters of the Western Division
of the Sublime Order of the West, and
the distinguished honor has been con-
ferred on chaplain Lutz as commander,
with concurrent jurisdiction over Ne
braska and Colorado. This commission
will soon be beautifully framed and
placed where the public can admire it.
The commission is duly audited by S. f.
Chandler, auditor of the Monastery of
the East, at Cambridge, Mass.

The Case of Martha Love

The cOlOred girl Martha" who was ar
raigned before Justice Fletcher, on the
10Th, on n charge of stealing from her EN-
ployers, Mr.. and Mrs s. p. Chase, was
found guilty of grand larcency and was
remanded to Jail to await trial at the
next term of the district court. Subse
quent to these proceedings, an effort was
put on foot TO effect the release of
the girl. Her father Samuel Love who
Is represented TO be hard working and
worthy man called on Judge Fletcher
and appeared to be completely broken
down by the discovery of his daughters
crime. He could scarcely believe that she
was capable of such duplicity, but the
evidences of her guilt were too palpable
TO admit doubt. The county attorney
was also interviewed and together with
Mr.. Love sought an interview with Mr..
Chase. The latter gentleman expressed
the greatest regret that he was compel
ed to act as he had in the matter, but the
circumstances of the case certainly left
him no alternative; the result of these
several consultations was a self consti.
tuted concilatory committee who waited
on his honor, and presented to him the
following: First, Mr.. Love agreed tore.
store TO Mr.. Chase all the money that
had been taken ($2O) and all the good S
that were or could be found, or the mon.
ey equivalent therefore, and to pay all
the costs in the case. The county attor-
neY urged the extreme youth of the girl,
stated that 1t was evidently the first of
fence and that in view of the fact that
Mr.. Chase had expressed his willingness
not TO prosecute at the district court il
his property would be restored, he, the
county attorney, had thought he was jus
titled in entering "nolle" and asked fol-
arelease of the prisoner.

FRIDAY, JUKY IS,

Yesterday morning the sale of stock
was commenced about 1115 a. m, the
rain through the night having caused
the people to be slow in gathering, and
ut the commencement there were less
than 90 persons in the corral, and at no
time during the day were there 100 per-
sons present.
The first sale was IA head of grade
heifer calves, at $40 per head, and they
were beauties; 8 steer calves at 1925 ;
about 80 cows, with calf by side, sold at
an average of $50, the lowest being $40
and the highest $3.50; a very nice lot
of three year old heifers, 16 head, sold at
$25; about so head of fat, dry mich
cows, sold ut prices ranging from $16 to
$27, and two springers at $3.50 and $41.60.
During the sale of the cows much amuse-
ment was caused by the discovery that
our old friend and late Democratic can
didate for sheriff, Mr.. Greenlee, was
perched on the top rail of a barbed wire
fence, and his son on the other end of
the rail, bidding against each other like
little men; but the joke was too good to
keep, and Gen. Pearsall, after selling
them two or three COWS at high prices,
advised them to at least only bid one at
