Important Decision.

The Supreme Court yesterday rendered a
decision in the case of Meeker VS.. Dalton.
The case involved the title to lot of land
in Lodi, which had been sold, with ada
cent property, by the plaintiff, to one Geo.
Ringer, who in turn decided it to Dalton.
Subsequently Meeker discovered that the
lot in controversy was not included, by
mistake, in the deed, and commenced suit
for its possession. The case was decided in
the lower Court in favor of defendant, and
an appeal taken. In deciding the appeal
the Supreme Court held that the fact that
the land in question was intended to be
conveyed to defendant, by the deed from
the plaintiff even though by mistake it
was not included in the description, estab-
fishes his right to the possession, and con-
stitutes the defense as equitable and as
legal title. The judgment of the lower
Court was therefore affirmed.

doctor to come quickly to his house as he

THE San Francisco Chronicle has been
meddling with the Republican nomina-
tions for Amador. The Sentinel tells the
Chronicle to ego to blazes" and mind its
own business, and adds that it shall not set
up dictatorship in that county. The
Calaveras Prospect, interested in the same
candidates, is equally emphatic in con-
demnatiOn of the Chronicles attempt to de-
feat the election of Republicans to the
Legislature.

AFTERNOON formation OF the ma

were probable one hundred vessels drawn
up in two divisions The first was COM

Keep it in nipd, Hearst can win only
by Republican votes. Every vote for q
side-show candidate for the Legislature is
a vote for a Hearst Democratic would-be
legislator.
REMEMBER a vote for Wigginton is the
equivalent of vote for Bartlett. What
reason can any Republican give for cast
ing ballot that will have that effect?

Special Correspondence OF II LEADER
LANDER, Wyoming, March 9.-There
died here last night at the. Lander
hotel, Mr.. Il. R. Macomber, one of
the old timers of the Western frontier.
Mr.. Macomber came to this section with
the foremost of the rush to the Atlantic
and South pass gold diggings in 1868.
Here he was fortunate and nuggets and
shot gold from the placers came to his
hand in plenty. He also became possessed
Of some very valuable quartz claims, fore
most OF which was a heavy interest in the
noted Soule and Perkins mine. This
property is now owned by half a dozen
parties and is still one of the foremost
mines of the district. But the reckless
improvidence Of the old miner was Ma
comber's ruin. Lavish expenditure and
bad investments carried away the cash,
and Macomber was now on the high road
to ruin. In 1877 he served in the Wyom-
ing legislature with credit, and now he
became poorer as the years few by, and a
few months age he came to Lander, brok-
en- in purse and spirit and suffering with a
fatal disease. to die among some old ON
rades of the golden days of the past.
These welcomed him in all tenderness and
charity, and smoothed for him the rough
and thorny path that leads to a poor
mans grave, and the once bonanza prince
now sleeps in his humble grave, above
which cluster poisoning charities of old
comradeship.
Mr.. Macomber crossed the plains with
a bull team in 1850, and made overland
freighting his business until 1867. In
the years between those dates he made
money, but was robbed early and often by
the Indians. Losses for this cause form
the items of claims against the govern
ment. a~ggregating 5000, 900. These
claims have been in the hands of Wash
ington attorneys for the last twenty years,
and of late the old man has had bright
hopes of a full settlement.
William Haynes, the young man so ter
ribly crushed in the Trimble coal mine
near here a short time ago, died last night
of his injuries.
Mrs. Dan Boyd, wife of a prominent
citizen of Lander. died last mis- hit, as also
did the infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. Van
Patten. ranchers, thus making four deaths
in one night in Lander. little community.
We are having a succession of moder
ate SHOWS. One soaks in the ground by
the time the other arrives. They are worth
thousands of dollars on the ranges

ONLY A SONG.
49,

S~c~7rC-rl
It was only a simple ballad,
Sung TO = careless throng;
There woro none that knew the singer,
And few that needed the song;
Yet the singers voice was tender
And sweet ns with love untold;
Surely those hearts were hardened,
That IL loft 50 proud and cold
She sang OF the voundrous glory
That touches the wood in spring,
or tho strange, soul stirring voices
Whom @the hills break forth and sing"
or the happy birds low warbling
Tho requiem OF the day,
And tho quiet hush OF the valleys
In the dusk Of rho cleaning gray.
And ono in a distant corner,
A woman, worn with strife,
Heard In that song a message
Prom the springtime OF her life;
Fair forms rose up before her
From the mist OF vanished years;
She sat in a happy blindness,
Her eyes were velled in tears
Then when tho SON was ended,
And hushed the last sweet tone,
The listener rose up softly
And went on her way alone.
Once more to her nfe OF labor
She pas,ed; but her heart was strong,
And sho prayed; "God bless tho singerl
And oh, thank God for the songl"

Pat Mccain was caught only a night or

nothing more or less than stealing two
boxes OF cigars from G.. G. Strom. Pat
was arrested and yesterday he was tried
before Judge Lee on the charge of petit
larceny. Pat of course, had no lawyer,
but undertook to defend himself and
stated some very cogont reasons to the
court why he could not possibly be guilty
of stealing the cigars. Yer see, yer
