The Kingdom of Thomas.

Hon. NJ L. Lacy, probate Judge of
Thomas county, has issued tempo
rlry injunction, returnable December
I'D, against G. NJ. Brooks, county
treasurer of Sheridan county, to re-
strain the selling of certain school
lands situated in Thomas county which
were in process of sale before such
county was organized. Our Thomas
county friends seem to think they
have little kingdom unto themselves,
regardless. of the statutes in such
cases made and provided. We pre-
sumo the next move will be a writ of
mandamus to compel the legislature
to recognize their representative elect,
as full fledged member of the house
regardless Of the constitutional limit
Kenneth Sentinel.
Attorney General Bradford wrote
the county attorney of this county,
that he had written the treasurer of
Sheridan to stop the sales, and in
case that he did not, to commence
action in the name of the Attorney
General. Brooks did not do as re-
quested, compelling an action before
the district judge Thomas county
has right and law on her side and will
win. Sheridan has greed, gluttony
and gall, and will get kicked in the
same spot that Bismark kicked the
same animal--the great American hog.
Brooks informed us once that lie was
competent to fill the Office Of ate
treasurer, and by this time, we pre-
sumo that he has legal knowledge
enough for supreme Judge

Miller, j. J.. watkins and Dan Snyder.
The defense, as cropped out on GER
tain remarks from the attorneys OF
Ygnacia, viii be that Staniforth committed
suicide At noon the prosecution opened
with expert testimony, when DR.. Drew
was placed on the stand, and, aided by a
human skeleton, explained to the jury
the nature of wounds which produced
Staniforth's death. He holds the de-
ceased did not commit suicide, but was
murdered Up to the hour OF adjourn

About ten DAYS ago Fred llilderOrandt
was arrested on charge of crookedness
in conjunction with an alleged theft of
the property of Dolores NucnZ, young
Mexican, who was found near Hilder-
brandt, gin, and whose death was a mys-
try which still remains unsolved. Hill
derbrand was in posseSSlo OF deed
porportng to have been made by the
dead man transferring his property
TO llildcrbrandt, which deed was
authenticated by j. = Ross,
a justice of the peace OF Wilson
county. The grand jury have come to
the conclusion that Nuenz was foully
dealt with by some person, whose iden-
tity they have been unable to establish,
and that the deed Ililderbrandt holds is a
forgery committed with the full knowl-
| edge OF Ilildcrbrandt and the other
justice, Ross. The grand jury have
therefore returned four indictments
against Hilderbrandt, charging in two OF
them with forging deed and the Others
with altering a forged deed.
They also returned two indictments
against Ross, Charging the latter with max
ing false certificate of naturalization
to the deed, and Hilderbrandt and Ross
were arrested by Deputies r. O. Stevens
and Alexander to-day, who brought the
| prisoners to the city and placed them il
the county jail. Hilderbrandt wa,
strongly suspected of having committee
