Court Chat.

The special grand jury last evening
returned two indiotmsnts-one against
Alstead, charging him with grand lar
ceny, and the other against George
Cook, charging him with the murder of
James Blount. Alstead says he is
ready to plead guilty any time the
Judge is ready to receive his plea,
which virtually disposes of his case.
Court reconvenes at $50 this after
noon, to receive the plea Of Cook. 1t
is understood that, as he has some
property which can be converted into
money, he will employ counsel and try
to get either a continuance or a change
OF venue. In case he does not succeed
in this the trial will not be-
fore Thursday, as 1t will be necessary
to get jurors from the outside precincts
In the county. In case a venire is Is
sued by the court, Sheriff Miller will
start out to night to execute its proyis-
ions.-Boomerang.

Miss Beebe would take the part of Ger

was detained In Chicago. However,
her place was very well filed by Miss

Yesterday morning Charles Wilson,
recently arrested in Wyoming, was
held to $1,000 bailin the United States
district court on a charge of cattle
stealing. This occassioned the leaking
out of the fact that the parties impli-
Gated in the largest cattle robbery ever
known In the west had been arrested
and would probably be brought to jus.
tice. In the fall OF 1879 there was a
herd of about LOO head of government
cattle IN the range In the n%eighborhood
Of White river agency. When the Ute
outbreak occurred, with the massacre
at the agency and the fight with Thorn
burg on Milk creek, these cattle be-
scattered, and during the winter
and spring following, about 1000 of
them were stolen. When the govern
ment employees undertook to collect the
herd, they we're able to find only about
TOO Of them. These cattle were all
marked with an l D brand.
From that time to this there has
been a quiet and persistent effort to
follow the matter up and procure suf-
ncient evidence to convict the guilty
parties. Sufficient evidence was
brought before the grand jury at its
last session to induce them to bring in
true bills against the accused parties
and warrants were at once issued for
their arrest. Last week one Of them,
Wilbur F. Hugus, was ARRESTED by
Marshal schnitger, of Wyoming terri
tory. He was held to bail there in the
sum of $1,000, which he furnished.
At the time of the robbery be had a
contract to supply meat for the can
comment on White river, whore there
were then some thirty-one companies
of United States troops. Wilson was
also arrested In Wyoming, but was
brought here at once. He gave the
required bail, both prisoners being held
to appear at the present term Of court.
Wilson is charged with being one Of
the men hired to collect the cattle to-
gether by one Yves Tavis, who is now
dead. Tavis had a contract with HUI
gus & Co. to deliver the cattle to HUI
gus & Co. after his men had collected
them together, or, in other words, sto-
len them from the government.
After the cattle were delivered to
Hugus & Co., the 1 D brand was
altered to ] H P. These parties then
proceed to slaughter the cattle and sell
them openly to the government for use
at the cantonment, receiving for them
about fifteen cents per pound on the
block. The cattle cost Hugus & Co.
about eight or nine dollars per head,
and, at the time they were sold, good
beef cattle were worth from thirty to
thirty-ive dollars per head, in that
part Of the country. On considering
the GOODNESS of the affair, the only
wonder is that they took the trouble to
alter the brands.-Denver Republican.

Cutting Marble Blocks.

Describing the Vermont marble quar-
lies writer in Hdrper'S Monthly SAYS:
The marble is brought to the mills in
massive cubes is sawed, turned, chiselled,
polished, mounted, and emerges as tomb
stones capitals cornices, columns, man
tel pieces and table tops. Much of this
work, especially the handwork, can, of
course, be studied in every place where
people die and have monuments set up
by the local stone cutter over their
graves, but the heavier preliminary labor
is best to be seen near the quarries
themselves.
The marble is delivered at the mills in
elongated -parallelopipeds, ] sup
pose Euclid would say-from ten to tif-
teen feet long and three to five feet
square, and placed on the frames for saw
ing. An expert will then decide as to
the manner of reduction, that is, the
thickness and number of the slabs, ac-
cording to the quality, the shape and
size of the block, or the special nature of
the orders to be filled. In outward ap-
pearance gang" as set of saws is
called, resembles the old-fashioncd up
right sawmill, except that the vertical
frame contains not one but many saws,
arranged at different intervals, CORE
spending TO the desired thickness of the
cuts. One process, therefore, divides
an entire block into slabs. The
saw has, it should be added, no
teeth. The cutting is the joint effect of
the hard edge of the steel blade and the
wet sand which is fed into the opening,
and thus produces an incisive friction The
ordinary progress is about two and half
inches an hour, and the gangs work night
and day. The polishing of small pieces
is done on revolving iron disk some
twelve feet in diameter. The marble is
thrown upon this, and caught by fixed
wooden strips like the radii of a circle,
while the motion of the wheel, which is
supplied with sand and water, furnishes
the attrition. 1t takes two or three hours
to polish a surface down one inch. Heavy
pieces are smoothed by hand, with the aid
of pumice-stone. Marble is turned into
circular shapes in a lathe, exactly like
iron, aud is bored with an ordinary dry
drill

The German Emperor.

The vitality of the German emperor is
a source of unceasing astOnishment and
admiration. He is now on his way to
eighty y-seven-thirteen years older than
his great ancestor, cold Fritz" when
that monarch's tough constitution broke
down under the weight of years and the
cares of government-and his life has
been one of the most wearing activity
Yet he was on horseback last Saturday
despite the weather, for three hours, and
the next day he was busy all day in dis
charging various formal functions of
royalty. In face Of this marvellous and
sustained vigor it needs the emperor's
own words in his touching address to
the fourth army corps to remind the
world how close he necessarily is to the
end of his extraordinary career: "It was
Joy and honor to me-" he says, "to
see the army corps once more Probably
it is the last time. At my age one makes
no plans" Yet the event which the
emperor looks so steadfastly in the face
win make the greatest changes, perhaps,
in the foreign and certainly in the domes-
tic relations of his empire. BY no career
of our time has the immense importance
of the personal element in politics been
more clearly illustrated Pal AaA

History is incurably apt to repeat itself
alike in its gayest and ghastliest episodes.
Most of us are familiar with the story of
the tipsy Englishman in the streets of
Paris, who was knocked down by the
shafts of passing cabriolet, stunned,
picked up for dead and taken to the
morgue, where in the middle of the night
he awoke to consciousness to find him
self reposing on huge slab of slate in
state Of nature, and in the very dismalist
ofconceivable company. The point of the
story lies in the circumstance that the
keeper Of the morgue, reused by the
shouts of the resuscitated Englishman,
politely but resolutely declined to allow
him to leave the establishment "He
had given" he said, "a receipt for mon
sieur's corpse to the proper authorities,
and corpse monsieur must remain till
the morning" 1t was with the greatest
difficulty that this conscientious stickler
for legal formalities was at last persuaded
to allow his exceptionally noisy guest to
resume his attire, and sit by the fire in
the porters lodge during the remainder
of the night. A closely analogous story
has been reported from Chicago, where
man named Lacy entered tram
way car, and, refusing to pay his fare,
was "chucked" Off the platform into the
street by the conductor. The PROSTATE
Lacy being perfectly insensible, the police
patrol was called, and the supposed
corpse was placed in a wagon and re-
moved to the city morgue, where, in ac-
cordance with American mortuary prac-
tice, it was placed ON ice. The police
then went in search Of the delinquent
and fugitive tram-car conductor, but in
a short time the body of Lacy began to
show signs of life, and in the course of
half an hour was so far recovered as to
be able to walk to the police station. A
medical examination proved that he was
not seriously hurt, and that his tempo
rary coma was due solely to liquor.
When, however, it is remembered that
Chicago is rather a roughly paved city,
it may be permissible to favor the hy-
pothesis that the chucking OFF, the car
platform into the street may have had
something to do with the temporary.
suspension of vitality in the case of Lacy
His striking experience of his icy couch
in the Chicago dead house should GER
tainly induce Mr.. Lacy to "swear OFF,
