SALT LAKE. CRY Judges arc growing
facetious il the Tribune may be relied
upon. According tn that journal, this
is the way - his Honor " disposed of a
gentleman the other day, whose means
Of support could not be discovered by
the lynx-eye of the law:
Well, Mr.. Henderson, Mr.. Hyde
will take charge OF you. There's a
beautiful spot up City Greek where the
birds slug and the air plays around the
peach. blossoms. Your lungs are badly
affected. Mr.. Henderson, and twenty
days rusticatinS IN the chain gang will
help you wonderfully. When the view
of the valley aud tue tail snow.capped
peaks becomes monotonous, You will
find shovel around the works with
which to amuse yourself"
But Mr.. Henderson didn't like the
view, nor the shovel, nor the way the
birds sang, so lie jumped the chain
gang. lie said that his lungs were
affected; but there wasn't n man on the
police force long wiuded enough for
that tramp.

The official Interpretation given to
tho Congressional Mining Law is as fol-.
lows:
"a mining claim Is forfeited when.
ever tho assessment year Is so nearly
gono that tho required work cannot pos.
sibIy DO done in the time, and the pos.
session is resumed until the locator
fully complies with the law in these ro.
specs. A re.locator who takes posses.
sion before the locator's year expires
cannot be ousted by tho latter while
holding in conflict with the law" This
Is in accordance with common sense,
and II rigidly adhered to will save much
litigation among miuers.

planting time, weather permitting.
Pastures are green but feed is short
as yet, and cattle except young stock
eat hay readily.
The season continues dry, so much
so that farmers are getting anxious
about their crops. AS yet no injury
has resulted from drought.
After a warm spell last week, we
had three severe frosts in sue
cession, ice forming to the thickness
of one-fourth Of an inch, thermometer
6 to degrees below freezing at sum
rise. Early sown fax is injured
and i'll some instances killed. in low
places, to the extent Of one-fourth to
one-third. Barley injured some, may
be killed. Oats in some places are
frozen to the ground, the blades yell
low and Withered, but will result in
no permanent injury, only a set back.
Wheat slightly touched with frost, but
no injury as far as observed.

The Chicago Evening Journal of
May says:
The cases Of Homer n. Hubbard, of

charged with taking Illegal fees as Reg
listers in Bankruptcy, came up this
morning in the United States District
Court, Judge Bum, Of Wisconsin, pre-
siding, in place Of Judge BlOdgett, who,
for personal reasons, declined to otfloi-
ate. Motions to quash the Indictment
on the ground Of insuficiency were
overruled in both cases, and motion
to strike ont, for indefniteness, a
charge in the Grain Indictment, was
taken under consideration. Register
Hibbard's case was taken up first for
trial and is now in progress, jury
having been empanneled.
The Journal of the following day
says: The Indictment was
defective III q legal point Of view, but
Leonard SWEET, as counsel for the de-
Tense, offered to waive that point, and
positively refused to accept an acquit-
tai on that ground alone.
-Four Gee bills) were selected and upon
those four the Indictment was found.
But the examination
showed that in each Of these four cases
the charges had been below the amount
allowed by law. The fee bills were
less than the law allowed in one case
to the extent of SO, in another OF $35
a third of $40, and the fourth of $50
making, all told, $103. Of course, that
being the case, the prosecution had nc
more to say, and verdict of acquitta1
followed, as light does sunrise. The
Indictment against Mr.. Grain was nozzt
pressed. There was no other way open
The charges were SO utterly without
