The principal accusation, 1t is said is that
the chief justice overTOde the laws of the
territory in several cases in the way OF
imposing the penalty OF banishment upon
culprlts in place of the punishment pre-
scribed in the statue. 1t is not complained
that this practice has q wholesome in

Good Democratic Majority in
the Legislature.
Returns From Formerly Doubtful sectton,
which Place the Result Beyond All
Possible Question.

Further returns yesterday made no ma
terial change In the result of the elections
as given in the Independent. Revised
figures confirmed the election Of TooIe,
democrat, for governor, and carried his
majority above 500. The changes in the
legislative tickets did not affect the demo
cratic majority on joint ballot, which. Civ
ing the republicans the benefit of
every doubt, still leaves the
democrats nine in the lead.
Tne most absurd claims were made on
the bulletin boards Of the republican news
papers that at least one-half Of the Silver
Bow delegation was republican, but dis
patches from Butte last night put an end
to that hope and left no chance Of over
turning the democratic majority. The ~
turns are still so Incomplete that the ma
jorities on the state ticket other than for
governor cannot be determined. IL is
probable that each party elects some of its
candidates. The following tables contain
revisions from the latest returns.

The Good Faitn of Entrymen to be Given
Due Consideration.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S-Commissioner
Croft. of the general land office, rendered
his first decision to-day. 1t was the case of
Johannes Frederick versus Fred Hanselin,
on appeal from the decision of the local
land osice, Fort Benson, MINI. The de-
cision appealed from holds that Hanselin
failed 70 comply with the letter Of the
homestead law; that he did not establish
an actual residence upon the land within
six months after entry, only digging a
cellar snd building 3 foundation. The
entry was accordingly cancelled. Com
missioner Croft oyerrules the decision, and
in a review of the case finds that Hsnselin,
who was poor man, was getting along as
rapidly with the improvement OF the land
and the construction OF the house as pos
si5ss. The commissions adds that the six
months rule is not 20 be insisted up
on sbere the entrymans' good
faith toward the government is
sufficiently shown, or where his acts are
not Inconsistent with an honest purpose
20 comply with the law He sees no bad
faith in this case. The decision is regarded
as important, rs indicating the policy of
rhe general land Ofice, with respect to this
c'Ass of claims.

career, J. 5. Clark, Of Tombstone, Arizona,
died here to-day almost in Abject poverty.
He was n "49er' in the early DAYS of Cali

western territories into Mexico, even pene-
trating the subartic regions of British
America. During the civil war be became

part of his fortune in unlucky speculations
and the rest in prodigal liv-
Ing Three years ago he came
20 washington TO prosecute
claim against the government for 500 900
for cotton seized in Memphis ana sold BY
the officers OF the union army. The claim
has been favOrably reported by both
houses OF congress, but Dot contempOTau-
eously. Clark still preserved a saDRuine
spirit, though he has been living almost on
charity while he kept up the discouraging
fight.
