JUSTICE WILD AND WOOLLY.

Senator PettIarew Tells OF Some Fun
ny Experiences in Dakota Courts.
From the Washington star.l
"The administration of justice in Dakota
when I Arst went out there to grow up with
the country was exceedingly primitive" )" said
Senator Pettigrew to a Star reporter.
'Judges for the territorial courts were sent
out from the east-nearly all of them men
whose indolence or bad character had rem
dered them disirable persons to get rid of.
There was one instance, I remember, whore
tho supreme court was convened with only
two of the three justices on the bench, the
odd one not turning up. This was disastrous,
inasmuch as the absent judge was the only
one of the three who knew any law. How
ever, one of the two justices present volun-
teered to look up the absentee and started
out for that purpose. He had reason to be-
lieve that he would find the delinquent In
some saloon, and so he took look into every
gin mill that he came to. The result was
that by the Tins he found the object of his
search he himself was in a condition of utter
indifference as to whether school kept or
not, and forgot ell about the court and his
errand.
sWhen the court had waited vainly for
an hour the United States marshal was sent
to hunt up the two justices. He pursued
the same tactics, visiting the saloons in turn,
and was in blissful condition of inebri-
alton by the time he came up with the con-
vivial pair. After another hour of delay
the remaining judge sent ont the United
States attorney to make search for the MISS
ing ones; but he. too, pursued like course
mind you, all this is strictly as it occurred
and did not appear again. So, as q last
resort, the leading lawyer of the territory
was despatched to gather in the wanderers,
and the result this time was successful. At
-. 1-Y
at 10:30-the two judges, the marshal, and
the attorney were seen to emerge from q
whisky shop and to pursue dignified,
though serpentine course, arm in arm, up
the street toward the court house. To get
through the door of the court room they
were obliged to relinquish each others sup
port, and, in trying to make their way to the
bar, fell over tables, smashed chairs, and
created general confusion.
Gentlemen said the sober judge from
the bench in loud voice, this court stands

A writer in the St. Louis Republic tells
that Mrs. Noble, wife of the Secretary of the
Interior, possesses one of the most unique
collections of gold enamelled and silver
spoons to be found In Washington. These
curios are kept in the parlor in an inlaid
mahogany table, the top of which is sunk
several inches below the outer rim, lined
with tufted crimson satin and covered with
a plate-glass top, which fastens with spring,
the key of which is safely slowed
away upstairs. Among the most in
teresting of the collection is a dull
looking silver spoon, on the handle of which
in bas-relief, is shown the baptism of Christ,
with the Holy Spirit descending from
Heaven in the form Of a dove, as John the
Baptist pours copious draught Of water from
his hands, raised high above his Master. This
spoon was secured from an old cathedral in
Nuremburg, at which place was also obtained
set of small, dslicately shaped teaspoons
with pointed bowls and fine open work
flagree handles. Another curious piece,
picked up in Moscow, is a email vessel, q
Gross between spoon and cup, used in the
churches Of Russia by the nobility in drink
ing the holy water. This is of gold inlaid
with transparent enamel, which, on being
held up to the light, shows the most brilliant
coloring. An open work golden egg enam-
elled In the same manner can be taken apart
and formed into two egg cups.

shows the absurdity of judging of the brain

extent of the superficial irregular surface
which is covered by the skull, without taking

When your horse grows thin and yet

He eats too fast, and if you compel him
to pick out his grain by smaller mouth

slower, and Of course digest better. Re-
member, too, that grooming is horses

to horse as one meal in four. Take the
thin animal to the dentist. A tooth may
be cutting his tongue or cheek, so that
he only partially masticates his food.
AS his years advance, and you love the
dear old fellow better and better, do not
forget that his teeth need attention.
II your animal is restless in the stall
and eats sparingly it may be that q

tooth will also affect the sight, destroy

A Son OF Brigham Young Purchases
Three Million Acres OF Land
From q. @. Faurot OF Lima.


LIMA, o., Dec. q. -B. g. Faurot, the
well-known banker Of this city, and
who is also president Of the Columbus,
Lima & Northwestern railroad, largely
interested in o railway enterprise in
Mexico, returned home from
New York this afternoon, announc-
es the Oonsummation of a deal
with John w. Young, the eldest son OF
the late Brigham Young, whereby the
latter comes IN possession Of 3,OOO,O 900
acres of land which was granted Mr.,
Faurot by the Mexican Government
three years ago. Negotiations have
been in progress for some time, and
were finally closed In New York yester-
day. The land Is located in the north
ern part OF Mexico.
About three years ago, Mr.. Faurot
obtained valuable grant from the
Mexican Government which included
these lands, the stipulation being the
construction Of a railway extending
from Deming, N. NJ, to the Cashiia-
bompa bayou on the Pacific coast. The
Mexican government in connection
with this grant offers 5000 to every
family and $50 to every single man
who permanently locates on this land.
Mr.. Young has 10000 people who
will colonize on these lands, and it is
understood that they are all Mormans
who now reside In Utah. Since the
Gentiles have obtained such strong
hold in Salt Lake City, the Mormons
have been looking around for a new
and suitable location. Young is an ex-
tensive railroad contractor, and recent
ly completed large job in Utah. AS
the Mormons have small colony ad-
joining the lands of Mr.. Faurot, this
seems to be the most desirable property
and it would indicate that they pro-
pose utilizing their new acquired lands
In the colonization scheme. The Nor
mons hope by this move to get away
! from the restraints passed upon them by
the United States, and where they car
teach and practice polygaIny without
fear of being molested. Mr.. Fauro
does not wish to state the consideration
but the amount involved is very large
