AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The United states Court at Sioux Falls
Makes an Important Decision.

The United States Court at Sioux Falls
Makes an Important Decision.
AN important decision was made by
Judge Edgerton in the United States
Court at Sioux Falls, in reference to the
Indian Trembling Voice. 1t necessarily
involves q very important ISSUE. The
substance of the opinion is as follows:
Trembling Voice was indicted by the grand
South Dakota, at the last term of that court at
Pierre. charging him with the commission of o
crime on allotted lands embraced in the portion
OF the former Great Sioux Reservation restored
to the public domain under the late laws of
Congress and agreement made with the Indians.
me Great Sioux Reservation was by such laws
and agreements divided into five smaller reser-
Natlons, and with u large tract of land thrown
open to settlement.
The Indians We're by the same legislation per-
mitted to take lands in severalty by allotment
either upon the small reservations or uDon the
lands embraced within the tract thrown open
to settlement. The ruling of the court is that
there are two kinds of allotted lands so far ms
the jurisdiction of the United States courts
over parties charged with the commission of
committed on an allotted tract within the BODY
of one of the now existing reservations. then
and III that case the United States Court has
jurisdiction of the oi!cnse. but where am o,fense
rs committed on IL tract of land held by an In
dian in allotment within the body of the tract
restored to the public domain. then the State
Court has exclusive jurisdiction, unless the
nature of the charge be such that the United
States Court would have jurisdiction any
where.
In other wo.us the United States Court still
holds jurisdiction over al oTenses committed
within the body of the five now existing reser-
vhtions the same as before the late legislation,
nut upon the rest of the old reservation not
embraced i'll the five new reservations the ma
ttre of the charge will determine whether the
United States Court has jurisdiction. Conse-
prisoner discharged.

The Sailors Mcui.atca cunnibal,sm.

CAPT. ANGUS McNIrculE of the
schooner Winnie Laury, just arrived at
Provincctown. Mass, tells q tale of
hardship rarely surpassed. The schooner
sailed from Gonaives, Hayti, for New
York Jan. 4. with a cargo of logwood,
and has been over two months in maxi
ing the passage to Tarpaulin Cove,
Vineyard Sound, where she now is. The
vessel in a storm lost nearly all her
sails, boats, etc. Two small casks of
water were saved, and these were soon
exhausted. The provisions gave out
and the crew was nearly crazy with
hunger and thirst. Alter the sailors
had eaten a dog. they concluded to kill
and eat the Captain. The Captain
loaded his firearms and barricaded the
cabin, determined to sell his life
dearly. Fortunately, just before the
attack was made, Il vessel was sighted,
which furnished the Laury with pro-
visions.

Jones as referee. MIR. Jones has found
that the plaintiff is entitled to a decree
on the ground of descrtion. Mrs. Han.
nah Pierce, the defendant, says her hus-
band received frequent calls from q.
Miss Ida Chandler, a school teacher,
who used his family buggy. and claimed
SO much of Rev. Pierce's timc that Mrs.
Pierce objected. Miss Chandler re-
scented the wife's indignation, and wrote
a pert letter. Soon after Pierce went
to fhillipston, where Mrs. Pierce says
she remarked she was glad she had got
rid of that trouble. 10 that her hus-
band, she says, replied, "Well, you have
not" The defendant also says her hus-
band entertained a pretty dressmakcr
at the house for several months, and
that she objected on the ground that
she could see no reason for so freely en-
Pertaining q pretty stranger. The case
has excited some interest here as Pierce
is the only minister who has patronized

LIVERPOOL special: a great sensa
tion has been caused here by the arrest
in Melbourne, Australia, of Arthur
Rainhill. Liverpool, for murder. In
July Williams married Miss Mather, a
local belle, and went to Australia. He
is now charged with numbering his
wife and cementing her body beneath u
fireplace. The people of Rainhill on
hearing this news remembered that
some time before Williams departure u
lady and two children had been seer to
visit his villa and had not been observed
afterward. The police searched the
villa and after some digging found the
bodies of II mi and two children
ccmented beneath the fireplace in the
same n as Williams wife is re-
ported to have beer found in Australia.
Two more bodies were found later on:
one is that of u girl of twelve, who had
been strangied; the other that of a baby
with its throat cut. The bodies of the
woman and two children previously UNI
earthed also had their throats cut. Tho
belief is that the m whose body
was found was u former wife of Will
Jams, whom he murdered to get out of
the way for his marriage t Miss

as it is thought there may be more
bodies in the villa.

THE SOUTHERN

SIIDELI, La. special: The predic-
tion of trouble between the blacks and
whites, or between two factions of tho
whites, because of the enforced de-
part,lrc OF the negroes from this settle
ment, is without foundation. For some
days negroes employed in tie saw mills
here have been unbearable i'm their
peace disturbances. A negro hailed II
white woman, forced her to allow him
to ride with her, and when he left the
buggy took a weeks groceries. which
she had Just purchased. with him. The
white people decided that the limit was
reached, and gave the negroes only
enough time in which to pack up their
things before leaving. They have all
gone and will probably stay. The mill
men are naturally annoyed ut tie loss
of the men they had employed about
their camps, but there will be no
trouble with the whites Oh that ac.
count.
