CASTLE ROCK RIPPLEs.
CASTLE Rock, April ID. 1885

OASILE NUN, LII, 1CCOs
Green grass.
April showers.
Rye looking well.
Grass is making good growth along
| the creeks.
IT'S about time to remove cattle from
the rye fields.
Will Rough has completed sod house
and stable on his homestead.
w. F. Cook is feeling very proud of q
little daughter, who arrived few days
ago.
There are few ducks along the creek,
but hardly enough to furnish good
shooting.
J. o. Mcknight is building frame
house for Mr.. Pottenger, a couple of
miles southwest of the 'Castle Rock"
William Hillbrand is one of the for
tunate stockmen; of fifty-fve head of cat
tie with which he began the winter, he
lost not one!
Church services were held at the
school house on Sunday, Rev. J. G..
Elliott officiating, and Sabbath school
was organized.
A number of the cattle which A. T.
Elliott was feeding at his ranch drifted
away during the last snow storm into the
Smoky Hill pool.
The fence of the Forester pool will be
taken down as soon as practicable, and
used by the individual members in
fencing pastures.
Mr.. Miller, of Clay county, Kansas, has
bought the homestead formerly held by
Geo. Pitman, and will at once commence.
the erection of stone house thereon.
Notwithstanding the fact that cattle
suffered during the winter from exposure
and short rations, the calves which are
arriving are fine, stout, lusty fellows.
We heartily endorse the WORLDS adj
vice in regard to holding fast to the cat
tie. The large shipment to market of fat
COWS last year, the heavy losses during
the past winter, and the rapid lessening
of available range must soon result in
high prices. <.

THERE is not a little feeling among
Republicans oyer the reception accorded
to jeff Davis at Montgomery, Ala, on
Wednesday last. 1t is a feeling of un.
e%asiness coupled with regret that such
bitterness still remains in the hearts OF
the southern people. The Democrats
do not have much to say-that is, the
northern Democrats. Among the Con.
federate brigadiers there is exultation,
Democrats cannot complain if Union
loving men cry out against such dem
STATIONS in favor Of the one unrepented
rebel, who is more responsible than any
other man for the blood and treasure
sacrificed in the preservation of this
government. The war is not over when
while loyal patriots are celebrating the
anniversary Of the birth of the mar who
battered down the walls of the southern
confederacy, the former followers Of the
stars and bars are rallying around tho
greatest traitor in modern times.

throughout the trial, and yet with
fairness to both sides. Messrs. McGee
& Morgan are to be congratulated upon
their successful handling of the case
from the first to last. 1t was a hard
fought battle against one of the best
criminal lawyers in the country, and
MI. Erwin's distinguished ability was
none too great OF Mr.. O'Bren's cool, cal.
culating counsels none too acute to cope
with the prosecution. Col. Warmers ar
gument wa strong and convincing, and
although very brief, the gentleman COW
cred the ground fully and completely.
The central figure, however, throughout
the trial was W. w. Erwin. Hundreds
of people gathered in the court room
from time to time to hear his arguments,
and when he made his final plea to the
jury there was an immense crowd pres
ent, including many ladies.
There is nothing but sympathy in this
communit y for the stricken mother and
father of Oswald, and the scenes in the
court room a they sat beside their un'
fortunate son should be q terrible lesson
for those who do not pause to reflect
upon the burden of griefthey may bring
to aged parents.

Il copy of Il dispatch which he has Just
sent to his paper, in which great tally is
given to MI. Ordway, as Il powerful fac
tor in Dakota politics. He is represent
ted as being the man without whose COIL
sent, Dakota could do nothing, Tut sit
idly dawdling away her time, waiting
for the old man to die, and get out Of the

Wonder if he realizes what Il mighty

The division of the territory is 1ucs-
tIonablc, while there arc SO many dyer
sitied showings of it before congress.
There can be no move made for the ben
eft of the territory which docs not evoke
argument or dispute. There are always
opposing forces, and it isa wOndcrto me
that the people of the empire even get
any recognition by congress. ~ was a
congressman / should take no side at all,
but should simply oppose any move for
the territory, until there were. unity OF
action and Of purpose amongst the pcO-
pie. Mr.. Hill, the chairman of the
House committee, assures the riends OF
the measure that lie will push the bill and
secure it's passage. Nevertheless, there
are those who see their capital schemes
going to the demnition bow-wows, in the
to defeat the bill. / know that Mr.. Hill
is in earnest in the matter, and am there
fore inclined to believe in the success Of
the measures; but, the opposition is so
strong, at present, that there can be no
certainty.
The festive Sioux must go. The gen
tie red-man must HE himself away from
his millions of gobbled land, and seek
the seclusion of his housand-acre-apiece
reservation; so that the white man may
come in with his iron steed, and bring
wealth, civilization, and revolvers with
him. The Sioux bill will pass. 1t is
only a short time now, when it will not
be unlawful to carry Il flask of whisky
across the Missouri river. Lo, there was
a God of Isreal, after all, and the bad
hearted Indian agent must follow his
proteges into the greater scclusion OF
the mauvaises terres. Before the con-
summation of these things, however,
there must be much labor done here in
the capital city ; and the people of Pierre
are aware of the fact. Hence, they will
soon send their little giant, McManima
and he will again take a hand III the con
gressional scrimmage. He knows how
to do it; and his labors will prove ellec.
tive. 1t is the last battle of the campaign
and it will hasten the departure of tho
beloved red-man from the beautiful and
arabic lands which separate the Hills
from the rest of Gods country.

THE VERDICT.

The jurymen in the Oswald case have
acquitted themselves with credit. The
rumors that there were unlawful mnu-
ences at work to effect q verdict may or
may not have been true. Nevertheless
the verdict itself is sufficient RETALIATION
of those rumors.
M~anslaughter in the first degree is
punishable by not less than four years
imprisonment and the sentence may be
for life. AS the INTER-OcEAN has already
said, the people here haye at no time,
nor do they now, ask for the extreme
penalty. 1t is, for the present, enough
TO know that the law has been vindicat.
ed; that killing is a crime, and that
McWeeney's slayer is TO receive the re.
ward of his u~nwarranted conduct, not
because he killed Nc Weeney-for his life
was no more valuable than that of any
other mar whom Oswald might have
killed no more valuable than the life
of any man who, under similar circunl-
stances, would have protested against
a blow from Oswald's revolver -
but because he went beyond the
limit of the trough pleasantly
so e%loquently' described by coun-
sci. Law abiding citizens will he
satisfied with a reasonable medium be.
tween the four-year penalty and a life
confinement. Ajury of Oswald's peers
have weighed the evidence and upon the
evidence have convicted him. There
would have been no yindication of JUS
tice in a disagreement the law would
have been outraged and the community
disgraced had there been an acquittal.
The conduct of the case was in
many respects most remarkable.
Judge Mcconnell fully maintained
the reputation he has earned in
previous murder cases. lie held
the rein of justice with q firm hand
