The Green River court promises to be
of only short duration. The docket is
light. There is not a civil case to be triel
BY Jury. and the criminal ca.es are few iii
number. Two Cinnamon and TWO white
men are in the Jail charged with murder
The grand Jury met Yesterday and cannot
be long occupied.
Indictments will probably be found
against the Cinnamon. The two white
men are charged with the same murder,
but their victim, though surely marked by
death, is still alive and may not die for
some time. This will probably defer the
consideration of the case until lex term.

Mr.. Charles Damiens, an ,;ng !, -
tleman who has been CAM -. ,;.,
vicinity of Elk mountain for sol III
past on a hunting expedition, inform. :,
scribe Of a curious tree, or rather a curio.
double tree he discovered on one Of his
tramps.
After walking one day a long distance,
be seated himself on the gnarled and Gle
waited roots OF an old cottonwood standing
on the bank of an arroyo, To rest. When
he left his seat his course took him across
the arroyo upon the bank of which the
cottonwood grew. As he reached the
bottom of the gully, he was surprised to
see a wide hole yawning at his feet. This
hole apparently led into the bowels OF the
land.
STOPPING down to look into the wide
aperture, he was rtill more amazed to see
the foliage of a tree within the deep re-
cess. Cautiously entering the hole, he
soon found himself standing on a narrow
ledge of earth, while IN front of him was
a cottonwood tree, growing top down
wards. Selling some of tho sturdy
branches, the En0lishman began to ascend
toward the roots Of the tree.
These he soon foun | firmly imbeded in
the soil overhead. Clan,bering down to
ward the top Of the singular tree, the ex
plorer reached the earth ledge again, and
scrambllng out Of the hole, again ascend
ed to the tree on the top Of the bank, and
soon convinced himself that both the up.
right and inverted trees sprang from tn,
same roots.
Once more entering the hole IN the
ground, our Englishman again climbed
into the branches of the underground and
inverted tree, and began climbing down
toward its top. Descending to the mass
OF foliage forming the summit, the ad
venturer could not see ia the indistinct
light how far it was to the ground be.
meath.
Fearful of falling into unknown depths
the Englishman gave up the idea he had
entertained of lowering himself into the
earth's bowels by means of a tree top.
and once more climbed up towards the
roots of the tree.
This singular growth seems to be as 70
bust and hardy as its brother Of the upper
soil and outer air and light, and Aourishes
green and fresh in its natural inversion.

AT an early hcur yesterday morning,
the police arrested in the alley between
the Delaware and the Idleman blocks. the
four circus thieves. of whom complaint
was made by the management of Coles
circus, a full account whereof was set
forth in yesterday LEADER. In addition
to their record with the circus, these men
had been spotted by the officers for swind-
ling sales on the streets of cheap iewelry.
The offenders, however, had taken the
alarm. and for some hours succeeded in
keeping out of sight of the police. When
arrested, one of them had several cheap
rings in his possession, and a bag contain
ing an invoice of the same worthless arti-
cles was afterwards picked up in the alley.
where the thieves had purpos.ly dropped
it on being arrested.
The men are now in the city jail. and
will probably be examined to-day. 1t is
thought that that the man who stabbed

lying in our county hospital, is one of the
