Another Fight Over That Boca Count

Another Fight Over That Boca County
seat-Several Killed.
DENVER, Colo, Sept PA courier who
has just arrived at Lamar, the nearest
railroad station to Springfield, Boca
county, reports that second battle took
place between the warning factions in
Boca county Wednesday. The frame
court house that was being removed from
Boston to Springfield by the aid of rollers
and teams was attacked by a largely in
creased force of Boston citizens armed to
the teeth. The Springfield men inside the
building were driven from it, and the
horses that pulled the building were de-
liberately shot down and used as breast
works
Incendiarism and Bloodshed.
A second attempt to set fire to the house
proved successful and the Springfield fac
ton was routed, after several of their
number were killed. The Boston crowd
returned in triumph to their town. Sew
eral Springfield men are in Lamar buying
up all the cartridges. This warlike pro-
ceedings doubtless means a renewal of
hostilities in the Bear Creek country.
Springfield men threaten to besiege Bos-
ton and burn the town in retaliation.

EXECUTING CRIMINAL. LAW.

Some Views Given Before the Nationa
Prison Congress.
CINCINNATI, Sept 27.-There was fair
attendance yesterday at the national rison
congress in the Scottish Rite cathed ral.
President Hayes was in the chair. Charles
Reeve, of Plymouth, Ind, read a report
on criminal law reform. He said that
the aim of the law was to accomplish
justice and that as a preliminary to that
end inquiry as to crime by grand juries,
and on trial under charges of crims in
court, should be to discover the whole
truth, as well to establish innocence as
guilt. No "presumptions' should exist,
except such as arise from established
facts
Duties of the Prosecutor.
The prosecutor twins the case, when
the truth acquits one under charge Of
otfense as much as he does when it con-
victs; and his sworn duty is to try to dis
cover the truth. II he acquits or convicts
in doing that he vindicates the justice Of
the law, which is his sworn duty. After
twenty-four hours of elaboration the
agreement of nine jurors should consti-
tute verdict. The idea of punishn ent
and fixed terms in prison should be a Dol
ished, and arrest, conviction and incar-
ceration until fitted to 60 at large or for
life if unfit should be the rule
