Gen. A. J. Smith, the big-hearted sheep
man of Meagher county, is inclined to make
sport of Bro. Sutherlin, of the Husba1da1a01a,
because the latter is constantly calling on
God 'sto bless the noble farmer" Now, Gen.
Smith is not farmer; in fact he knows
nothing whatever about the science of agri-
culture, and would be as likely to soao his po-
tatoes in the fall, plant his oats in July, or
pa1A his wheat crop before it is headed out as
to do otherwise. The fact Of the matter IS
he is Jealous of Brother Sutherlin, who is
thoroughly read up in Horace Greeley's
ssWhat know about Farming" and is in
truth one Of the most successful agricultur-
lists Con paper in the Territory. i is plain
case Of the ''green eyed monster" on General
Smiths part, and the RIVER Press will stand
up for Mr.. Sutherlin every time. Moreover
the latter has not yet stereotyped the phrase,
ssGod bless the noble sheep man, and this
fact assists in exciting the Generals rage.
Perhaps the Hus6andns0p has General Smith
in Its mind eye and concludes that It would
be altogether useless to call down blessings
on the man of wool and pelts, as the case is
entirely hopeless and even the prayers OF the
righteous would avail nothing in the preml-
ses. THE RIVER Press has given this view
of the matter in simple justice to Brother

Settle s. Stevenson, assisted by Buck &
Hunt, have been retained as attorneys for
the defendant in this case. A RIVER PRESS
reporter interviewed the former and finds
that they are quite confident Of clearing their

that s'Tappy" threatened to kill Starr and to
prove BY numerous witnesses that the latter

kind the prisoner will be discharged, but they
must make the case first. That's the rub.

At all events, he was poisoned. His
stomach was taken out and sent to
chemist for analysis. After wrestling
with the old mans stomach for three
weeks, the chemist is undecided as to
how he came to his death, and has
sent for the old mans liver. By the
time he gets through with the liver,
he may send for an ear, an arm, and per-
haps other portions of the remains.
In the meantime, the body-or what

and the law still be at fault, all be-
cause the old gentleman failed to
stow away the poison in his stomach
in such way that chemistry might
reach it and find out whether the poi
son killed him, or whether he died
natural death after taking the poison.
