PRISONERS AER ELArED OVER 1T
II the Case Goes Over to. the November
Term st is Thought the Men viii
be Liberated.

CHEYENNE, July 21.-Judge Blake
yesterday decided on the motion for q
change of venue. and selected Laramie
county as against Albany, in which he
lives, for the trial of forty-three men
who went into johnson county April to
annihilate the rustlers, and who did kill
two men. The judge says he is satisfied
that in his county the feeling of the
populace is so intense against the raid
ers that it would be necessary for them
to prove themselves innocent, instead of
having the prosecution adopt the course
of establishing the guilt of the accused.
He adds that, in Albany county, fully
800 of the 200 citizens eligible for jury
service have disqualified themselves by
voting for condemnatory resolutions at
indignation meetings soon after the
rustler war. The prisoners are highly
elated over the outcome of their first
legal tilt in Cheyenne. They have many
friends who will work hard for them.
Unless special term is called, the. case
will go over to the November term. In
the latter event an effort will be made
to haye the men liberated. johnson is
a small county of limited resources, and
is already alarmed over the expenses OF
the prosecution. They have paid at
torneys fees of $40, 900 so far, and other
items at hand in prospect are appalling.
Cattle stealing goes on just the same.
A few days ago the officers of Fremont
county went into Jackson Hole and
found so head of stolen cattle in a cor
raj with the brands freshly changed.
Two men in charge surrendered. One
of the thieves was allowed to go into a
room to get his clothes. He reappeared
with six-shooter, and sent bullet
into the heart of one of the officers. In
the melee both outlaws escaped.

Mount Etna Eruption.

CATANIA, July 20.-The terror of the
people in the vicinity of Mount Etna is
increasing in consequence of the re-
newed violence of the eruptions and
prolonged subterranean rurnblings,
