Thomas Dickson, private Of c

Fort Keogh, on Monday night about
10 o'clock stole buffalo overeoat be-
longing to Sergeant Powers, Of For;
Custer. The theft was promptly
reported to Officer Dempsey, and the
thief was soon after secured. He was
given quarters at our county Jail for
the night. At 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon he was arraigned before
City Justice Brown, on the charge OF
petit larceny, when the court SEN
fenced him to ter days Imprisonment.
The prisoner then, after this sentence
had been pronounced, requested the
attention of the court for short time,
and at once began to defame the off,

ing himself to get even with Dempsey

travel over and devoid Of rapid means
of communication. Much delay and
expense will thus be incurred in the
enforcement of the laws Of that terri
territory which will but result In an
advantage to the depredatOrs and
Others violating the laws in the Park.
The fact that almost all of the Park
lies in Wyoming is no tangible reason
for relegating il to that territory for
jurisdictional purposes, when the ad-
vantages to be gained by placing it
under the protection Of the Montana
laws and courts are so patent and
incalculable in comparison. Our
neighboring territory, however, has
always watched with jealous eye
and resisted with all its strength any
and all efforts TO transfer this national
pleasure ground to the jurisdiction OF
Montana. The bill we refer to will
doubtless become a law, in which
event we hope the laws Of Wyoming
will be adequate, and enegetically ell
forced to protect the life and property
of the tourists and preserve this won
derland in all its natural and primi-
tive beauty for the present and the
generations yet to come.

District Court ProeeedInRs.

A number of criminal cases were set
for trial yesterday and the defendants
were In the court room with their wit
nesses awaiting the ordeal OF trial
by jury of their countrymen for
alleged infractions Of the statutes.
This privilege however was denied
them by reason of the case of Wilder
VS.. the County Commissioners began
on Monday not having been con-
cluded. During the livelong day this
case mOnopolized the attention Of the
court and jury in the taking of testi-
mony. As the shades Of evening be-
gan to fall, the welcome words 1--WE
restn fell from the lips of counsel on
both sides. That this announcement
produced sweet harmony in the ears
of the wearied jury and listeners, was
evidenced by the changed expressions
of their countenances. DIR. Burleigh,
attorney for the plaintiff. then began
his argument and at its conclusion a
recess was taken until after supper.
After supper last evening the argu-
ment in the Wilder case was resumed
and much of the musty history of the
county and the old Diamond r"
concern was resurrected by The de-
fendants attorneys in the effort to
show fraud upon which they rely to
defeat the plaintiffs claim. Counsel
for the plaintiff followed in a hall
hours speech in reply and at halt
past nine court was adjourned until 8
o'clock this morning when the Judge
will charge the jury. II is probable
that some of the criminal cases either
United States or territorial will be
taken up to-day. Ifso, those who are
fond of attending court had better be
on hand early and secure seats US
some of the cases on the assignment
will be rich, rare and racy, If we may
Judge from the character and CON-
plexion Of certain defendants whom
we observed in the court room yester.
day patiently awaiting trial.
