"What wit he isl And his conversation

RICHARD OLIvER's TRIAL.
Before the Court on IN Charge of
PitchfOrking Deputy MIX.

Almost the entire day was taken up in
the Third District Court by the trial OF
Richard Oliver, charged with assault
with intent to do bodily harm. Oliver is
the man who attacked Deputy Mix last
year with pitchfork, and when placed
upon the stand this morning he told
patched-up story with which he
hoped to prove his innocence. Deputies
Mix and Barker were examined for the
prosecution, and Johanna Willenback,
John Smith, John Smith, Jr., Charles
Smith, George White, Thomas White
and Alonzo jenkins for the defense. The
jury impaneled for the case contained
quite number OF Mormons, and from
the nature of the circumstances connected
with the affair it was n general inference
that difficulty would be experienced in
getting q verdict of guilty.
Much of this afternoons session was
occupied by Arthur Brown in his argu-
ment for the defense, and w. II. Dickson
for the prosecution. In his argument
Mr.. Brown used the expression, "These
fellows who hold sinking little offices I'M
der the Government" and Mr.. Dickson
took tile expression up in his final
speech and used it effectively to
the discontinue of the author. The
arguments of the Prosecuting Attorney,
especially touching this point, were pow
erful and eloquent and were delivered
with warmth and earnestness which
told how heartily the situation was ap
preciated by the gentleman. The cast
was given to the jury at 4 o'clock.

tation, and was taken out to his plaee Oh

Mrs. Edwards had been arrested IL,
Idaho at the instance OF Marshal lreiahu
on a warrant, and brought with her
nursing child. She is wanted, as migh'
be surmised, as witness in the case
against her husband, and the peculiar
circumstances already associated with
the case were thought sufficient to justify
the use OF a warrant in the place oil q
subpoena. She remained in the Marsh
al,s office several hours while Deputy
Franks endeavored to find some OF hei
friends who could come to the lady's re
lief in the matter of bonds, when she
should be brought before the court. Up tt

ties desired, and it became probable thai
she would be taken care of at the Pen.

A Texas Land SMindle.

AUSTIN, February 23.-The land agents
OF this city have within the past few
weeks received flood OF inquiries from
persons in New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and other points as to the
status OF Texas land certificates. 1t ap-
pears that some persons are selling Texas
certificates, and have somehow created n
demand and found purchasers. Some OF
the certificates are out Of date and worth
less. Others are Of little value, as there
IS now in sight no public domain in Texas.
Holders, unable to sell, have in many
cases illegally placed these certificates
upon lands specially set aside for school
and university purposes, or asylum lands
or lands belonging to railroad companies.
This they have done in the faint hope
that at some future time the Legislature
Will make these certificates valid. 1t has
been repeatedly suggested by prominent
men. in the State that Texas ought to adj
vertlse the true condition OF these old
I certificates, and thus prevent thousands
OF people from being swindled.
