The SITE
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Nox
ubee county. Hon. w. NJ. Rogers
Judge.
The appellant was indicted for stea /
ing COW. The evidence for the State
showed that the body of the COW wa.
found near his house, that the skin had
been taken off, and as some witnesses
state, pieces of steak had probably been
cut from her thigh. The appellant had
sold the hide to butcher, telling him
that it was the hide of a COW which had
been injured and killed. 1t was unques
tionably shown that this hide was that
of the COW alleged to have been stolen
The theory of the defence was that the
cow had died, and that appellant had
found her dead and taken the hide, and
the evidence on his part tended to es.
tablish this fact.
For the defendant, the court was
asked to charge the jury, ''that if they
believe from the evidence that the COW
alleged to have been stolen, was found
by the defendant dead, and that he did
not kill her, then they should find the
defendant not guilty." The court re.
fused to give the instruction as asked,
but changed it by striking out the word
kill" and inserting in lieu thereof the
word "steal," so that the instruction as
given read, eff they believe from the
evidence that the COW alleged to have
been stolen was found by the defendant
dead, and that he did not steal her. then
they should find the defendant not
guilty"
COOPER, c. j., delivered the opinion of
the court.
Hetd-That it was error 70 change the
instruction. The statute, in making the
larceny of any kind of horned cattle, or
swine or sheep, or goats, of any value,
grand larceny, had reference to such an
imals being alive and not to their dead
bodies. 1t is grand larceny to steal any
of the animals of the classes named be-
ing alive, regardless of the value. and it
might be grand larceny to steal the bod
les after death, but that could only be
where such body could be shown to ex-
coed ten dollars in value The vice of
the instruction as given is that it sug-
gests that if the appellant found the cow
dead, and did steal her when SO found,
he might be convicted of grand larceny,
there was no evidence before
the jury of the value of the dead BODY.
Reversed.

Postofice Appropriation Bill.

We are in receipt of a pamphlet copy
of the able speech of Hon. F. G. Barry,
on the above bill, on 10Th ult We have
space only for the opening and closing
paragraphs:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: | have no ambition
to air my opinions on this question, but
as 1 was side-tracked yesterday in the
general debate / deem it proper as a
member of the Committee on the Post
Office and Post-Roads that should voice
on this floor my sentiment and the SEN
timent OF the people | represent as
positively and emphatically opposing any
subsidy to any corporation or individual
whatever. IL is undemocratic 1t does
not respond, Mr.. Chairman, to the spirit
and genius of our Government and Of
our people.
The postal system was created for the
transmission of mails at fair c0mpen-
sation. 1t is a peryersion of it to make
it a mediu ~ of distributing b0unties for
any purpose.
Dir. Chairman, the people whom 1t Is
my hoior to represent here are almost
wholly agricultural, and for twenty
years have struggled hard against the
tyranny of adverse circumstances and
have felt keenly the marked advantages
that aggregated and corporate wealth
has enjoyed at the expense of the farm
ing classes and the burden of a high
protective tariff system. Many of them
have seen wealth walk out and poverty
walk in. They saw the one depar-
most without a murmur, and received
the other without a sigh, and have
bravely maintained the struggle for ex-
lstence to this good hour. They are
loyal to the Government, and none
would more glory in its proves and
progress than they, but they would have
It's blessings descend on all alike. They
favor no subsidies; they want simply an
equal chance with all other pursuits;
hey ask no bounty or protective tariff
ior themselves, nor do they favor the
anne for the sake of others. They insist
IN the lowest possible amount of taxa
ION, falling highest on the necessaries OF
lie, and government justly and eco
lomically administered.
The war being over, they want peace,
md not fruitless war of words and
utter recriminations. They would ban
SD all sectional luminosity, so that
throughout our great republic
GOODWILL between US like the palm may flourish,
ma peace its wheaton garland wear.
To these convictions 1 give my cordial

Gov. Pie.os has about perfected ar
rangements by which the accounts of
the territorial militia for armory rent,
uniforms, ETC., can be paid without wait
ing for the assembling of the legislature.
Il is also expected that the per diem of
men for service in the encampment at
Aberdeen will be paid in the same way.
An official announcement will be made
as soon as the final arrangements are
completed.
The foregoing appears as Bismarck
special. The arrangement the govern
or has made is to borrow the moneY in
the name of the territory. pledging the
faith OF the territory for its payment.
The loan is unauthorized, the expendi-
ture is useless extravagsnce and the
people should protect themselves against
such usurpation of authority by sending
men to the Legislature who will promptly
repudiate the transaction and throw the
liability upon the governor

ing item from the Bismarck Tribune:
An interesting case to the public no " on tria l
before Judge Francis is that relating to the
capital commission and the territorial treas
urer. mandamus WIS issued some time ago
commanding the territorial treasurer TO pay
warrants issued by the commission The
legality of the step was argued, General
Hughes appearing for the relstor lin support
of the mandamus) and Attorney General Rice
for the territory, Leading attorneys predict
that t;the judge will sustain the mandamus.
IL it true that Attorney General Rice
has resigned?
Is it true that Judge Francis has. or
is about to order the payment of these
warrants out of the public funds?
If SO, then is it true that nothing re-
mains between the public money and
the capital commission but their cheek
and ability to draw warrantsp
If 30, does Governor Pierce know
thisP Is be aiding Hughes and his
gang to make this colossal raid on the
treasuryP
Is there any limit to the amount of
warrants the capital commission may
draw for and get issued and Franels
and Pierce and Hughes may compel to
be paid by the peoplep CITIZEN.
The queries propounded by our cor
respondent are of sufficient Importance
to attract the attention of every fax
payer in Dakota and the close scrutiny
of those who are to create the next
legislature.
We can state positively that the
resignation of Attorney General Rice
has been many months in the hands oi
Governor Pierce. There is good
authority for the assertion that such
resignation was obtained by subterfuge.
to cover an alleged defect in the Law
which weakened his tenure. 1t was
proposed, as q corrective act, that be
resign and that he afterwards be re.
appointed by the governor and by this
process the complication arising from
the popularity in the statutes would be
cured. He placed his resignation in Che
governors hands, but his re-appoint
ment did not follow and probably vii
not follow.
1t does not now appear that the terri
tory will be given an attorney general
as he is the lne office. who stands be-
tween the public treasury and those who
seek to secure access thereto through tn,
medium Of capital commission warrants
We have been repeatedly told during
the pant several months that Judg,
Francis will sustain the application To-
q mandamus commanding the territorla
treasurer to receive the capital commits
sion warrants. The extfsct quoted b,
our correspondent confirms that impres
sion. II the territorial treasurer il
instructed by the courts TO receive th,
capital commission warrants, the publi
treasury is open to the capital commis

river. To continue the Improvements on
the Fox river below Monticello, $500, 900 is
called for. To improve the St. Croix in
Wisconsin and Minnesota, SO, 600 is called
for, and it rs expected that this amount
will complete the improvement. Twenty

recommended to continue operations at the
head waters of the Mississippi. For OPP
Grating the snagboat on the Mississippi,
$50. 900 is called for The Mississippi river,
from st. Paul to Des MoineS rapids, through

Des NToines Valley Lands.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-The old Des
Moines valley land question is again before
congress. Senator Wilson and Congress
man Holmes introduced the old Wilson bill
at both ends of the capitol this morning.
The proposition is exactly what the presi-
dent vetoed last session. 1t provides that
all lands improperly certified to Iowa by
the department of the interior under the
act of Aug. s, 1916, for which indemnity
lands were selected and received by the
state of Iowa, as provided in the act OF
1862, shall be declared to be public lands of
the United States; that the title of all bona
tide settlers under color of title from the
state of Iowa or the United States which
do not come in conflict with presumption or
homestead claims shall be ratified. and that
the claims of all persons who in good faith
entered under the United States land laws
any tract OF this land prior to January,
1880, not exceeding 100 acres. shall be con-
firmed. There are many settlers who be-
lieyed that those lands were public, and en-
tered upon them in good faith and with the
consent of the department of the interior IS
pre-emptiOn and homestead, and after re-
ceiving patents have been held by the
courts as trespassers, or that the lands
were reserved from settlement.
