True he says, "We have had the
Second District Court in session for the
past week or more, but the denizsns Of
this region have ceased, to q certain eX-
tent at least, in being amazed or in any
way surprised at the decisions of his
honor Judge Foreman. To be bound
over by a Unlted States Commissioner
for any offense enumerated by the Ed
mundS law, means almost always an
Indictment by the selected grand jury;
to be followed almost aSsuredly by
verdict of guilty by the trial jury, and
in every case, whether trial is mad or
the aCcused-in order to save the feel
lngs of his family-pleads guilty, the
sentence is the same; precisely so in
every case, no extenuating CIrcum-
stances Of any kind or nature are to be
thought Of. Evidence also, that in
cases of ordinary tenor, such as larceny
or even murder, would be laughsI at as
absurdly inadequate to convict, are by
sklllfuI manipulation in the emp aneling
of the jury made to bring about q con-
Vietion.
Saturday last Mrs. Emily Crane, the
reputed plural wife of l.. D. Watson,
was committed to the custody OF the
United States Marshal for contempt of
court in refusing to answer the interro-
cations of the Grand Jury. The ques-

Are you acquainted with Lorenzo D.
Watson2 During the last two years
has Lorenzo d. Watson lived at your
house? Are you a married or unmar-

the United States Marshal and ordered
to be imprisoned in the penitentiarv

Jury or be otherwise released by the
court.

Chamberlain, James Harvey Lsngford,
Andrew Anderson, Cornelius McReavy,
Benjamin Perkins and John Covington,
each pleaded guilty to indie ments
charging unlawful cohabitation and
they each received the regulation seE-
tence of six months and $500, and they

Lorenzo D. Watson stood his trial,

dict Of guilty was brought in and he
! will, of course, receive the usual dose.
| Simon Topham also relied upon the
exceedinginly fragile nature of the
evidence against him, also charging
unlawful Capitalization; but the jury,
after struggling with the case for up
wards of six hOtrJ, finally brought in

smelter is to be ready to commence
operations about the 18th of mex

placa to P. T. Farnsworth. What the
