CAR woLCOTT.
Sentencing a Man without Complaint
or Hearing.

A very interesting case was argued in
the supreme court yesterday. 1t is titled
Frank E. Woleott VS. Rudolph Bachmau,
and promises to 90 into history as an ex-
ample of abuse of power by one in posi-
tion and SO inclined.
At Douglas some time in 1887 Belle
prury, a woman of the town, and a
a young German who played a piano in a
saloon at that place, were hauled before
Sustice Mecum on the charge OF stealing
$50 Ed Linn, who has since been sent
to the penItentiary for manslaughter. was
the complainant. A change of venue
was had. Another Justice was called but
was taken i'll suddenly and Major VOL
colt heard the case.
Bachman was released on the larceny
charge and the woman held. After the
business proper of the session had been
finished, Judge Wolcott catechised Bach
man at length, but not under oath, and
then said that from the musicians own
admissions he was a vagrant and should
be punished by imprisonment at hard
labor ten days aud the payment of 800
fine.
Such a procedure was outrageous and
unprecedented. In a vagrancy case the
accusation must be regularly filed IN writ
ing and a trial is the right of the sus-
pect. Bachman protested. His attorney
%interposed strong, earnest and valid OBJ
iections, aud even the county prosecutor
raised his voice against the proceedings.
Major Wolcott would not brook inter
ference. In the words of Attorney Groes-
beck. he cared for neither statutory nor
constitutional provisions. To the lawyers
he said that he knew that his course was
irregular, but that he would waive techni-
calities in this instance. He didn't like
such men and would teach this fellow a
lesson" The court sentence was put in
operation.
In thirty days Bachman was taken from
the county Jail al Laramie on a writ OF
habeas corpus. He sued Wolcott for
S25, 900 for false imprisonment and was
awarded So. 500. Wolcott is fighting this
judgment. Corlett, Lacy and Riner are
his counsel.
Judge Groes5eck did nobly for his
client Yesterday. In his argument he
gave Wolcott a terrible scoring, but did it
nicely.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-Morrison Nun
ford. editor of the Kansas City Times,
who is visiting in New York City, has
had an interview with ex-President
Cleveland, which he telegraphed his
paper tonight. The following portions
of general interest are taken, for Cleye-
land has lost ION of his zeal on tariff re,
form which inspired his celebrated mes.
sage 1T is most gratifying to me,
he said, - that the masses as well as the
leaders of the party, are taking hold OF
the tariff issue with such spirit and EVIL
dent determination to win. My letters
from every part OF the country show the
extent aud depth of the agitation. l was
generally pleased to find a degree of
earnestness and fervor beyond that of
men engaged in politics. From my OBJ
%seryations there and in New York, and
from nv correspondence l conclude the
thinking men Of the nation are massed
almost solidly on the side OF tariff reform.
L then said to Clevelend: The Demo
cratic party is already preparing Tor '92,
and looking forward TO that campaign
with confidence aud with the sentiment,
virtually unanimous, that you should be
our leader"
AS to that" he replied, lit is the
cause aud not personal considerations that
should concern US. If l consulted my
own feelings | would prefer to have some
one else take the lead"
But no one else is thought OF among
the Democratic masses.
Men with the element leadership de-
yelop rapidly, and 1t Is a long Time till
'92," quickly replied ex-fresldeEt Cleve-
land. 1t Is not a Matter OF men but OF
principles. 1t would be a pity not to
carry forward the work which the part,
has 80 grandly inaugurated, and there
ought to be no halt until the ends aimed
at are comprised and the people are In
full possession of the benefits aud bless
ings which accumulation OF inequalities
called int existence by apathy on one
side, and sell interest on the other-bave
diverted from them. | rejoice In feeling
that the Democratic parry ls the reposl-
tory of the best principles and purposes,
that its ranks TEEN with the Intelligent
young manhood Of the country; that 1t en-
Joys the complete MONOPOLY of every
American policy not merely sectl nal or
timeservlng.

The husband for her.
The clerk took down a roll of bright

How does that please you, MADAME"

husband.
How do you like this, madam?r
asked the clerk, displaying another
roll.
No, my wife doesn't like that"
he returned. 1T is too dark
Again and again the clerk displayed
his wares before them, always appeal
ing 10 the taste of his wife and being
answered by the husband.
Well said the latter at length,

said to his wife:

Destitution and Suffering in

Ex.P resident Cleveland on the

"A Tale of Woe.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-An Associated
Press reporter Just returned from the
northwest bring with him a tale of terri
bic suffering and destitution in nineteen
counties in South Dakota, gathered from
persons VINO AVE but recently been eye
witness to what they SO graphically de-
scribe. f. L. Paxton, a well-t0 do bust
ness man of Shabbona, Dekalb county,
this state, who spent some days In the
afflicted districts says: However hard
land sharks and other interested parties
may try to keep the true state Of things
from the people of this country, they
cannot long be successful. The success.
sive failure of four years crops has re.
duced those even well TO do to a condition
OF the sorest distress. Many thousand
families are entirely without means of
any kind. They lack the where
withal to purchase the necessarles
OF life. In Miner county Paxton said,
They nave no -four, their staple of life
being badly ground cornmeal, and there
is a noticeable insuficiency OF that. Every
farm is m~ortgaged, in many cases for
more than it's sale under present prices
would realize. MOST OF the STOCK mas
been levied on and sold by the sheriff at
public auction, the ridiculousiy low prices
obtained being eloquent not only OF the
starving condition OF their cattle but the
scarcity of means in the community.
Cows fetch as low as S. apiece, horses IS
and $40, while sheep and pigs are simply
unsuitable, thore being nothing to feed
them with. Women and children wear
evidences OF the hardships they
have undergone in their pinched
and meager fsces. In many instances
they are quite uuprovided with
clothing with which to withstand the
rigors of winter. what they now have
being ragged and worn out. Flour is
most wanted" said he, especially in
Kingsbury and Miner counties. Clothing
for the women and children and pro-
visions of any kind Just now would be a
godsend to thousands who are now in a
semi-starving condition. Unless relief is
given with a liberal hand this winter in
South Dakota you will hear OF many
deaths from absolute starvation, and the
reports will undoubtedly have founda-
ton"
Mrs. A. C. Cleveland, of Edmunds
county, confirms Paxton's story. This
lady is now in Minneapolis, where she is
making efforts in behalf OF the sufferers.

LONDON. Jan. 22.-Gladstone speak
ing at Chester. declined to c~riticise the
course of Salisbury in his dispute with
Portugal until he was fully informed as to
the details of the case. Referring to the
United States and its plans for an en-
larged navy, he said hat it is still en-
loving the blessings and comforts of a
restricted trade. and therefore would pay
forty or fifty per cent more to a business
navy than it would if it were contented to
compete on equal terms with other ma
tons. But its resources are so great that
1t cat afford to pay for the luxury OF pro
lection.
The worst of it was that while America
would cite England's example for e~nlarR-
ing her navy, England will give a similar
excuse for naval increase. Referring to
the Parnell commission he said that their
cumbrous proceedings constituted a case
of oppression practiced on any individual
by the legislative chamber an executive
government without parallel since the
time of Charles III.

Are You Interested,

Perhaps the readers of THE LEADER
could like TO know in what respect Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you, When this
Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a
cold has been contracted, and before it
has become settled in the system, it will
counterfeit the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, if not efec
tually cure the cold in two days time and
it is the only remedy hat will do this. 1t
acts in perfect harmony with nature and
aids nature in relieving the lungs, open
ing the secretions, liqueiying the mucous
and causing it's expulsion from the air
cells of the lungs and restoring the sys-
tenn to a strong and healthy condition.
No other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure a cold as quickly or leave the
system in as sound a condition. so cent
