SUPREME COURT CASES.
Decisions Rendered In Several of
Them at Yesterdays Session.
The Johnson County Tax Case
Passed Upon at Length.
Jerry Graham Loses His Culver &
Arnold Suit.

In the case of the Powder River Cat
tie company VS.. johnson county, the
opinion of the court. affirming the court
below, was delivered by Chief Justice
Groesbeck yesterday. The case involved
a large amount of taxes paid to the county
by the cattle company, the company seek
ing to recover the amount paid on the
ground that the levy was illegal and ex-
c~essive. In deciding against the com
pany the supreme court held that the w
mills levied for county school purposes
was not within the general limitation of
16 mills on the dollar, and that johnson
county had the right to levy a tax. of Is
mills that year. 1t also decides that in
similar suits. the collector. and not the
county should be made defendant. The
opinion was a very lengthy one. Justice
Conway delivered a dissenting opinion,
reviewing the whole ground, and holding
that the company had the right to re-
cover.
GRAHAM KNOCKED OUT.
In the afternoon a decision was handed
down in the case of Graham VS.. Culver
& Arnold. This case involved the owuer-
ship OF the house and lot situated on the
northeast corner of Seventeenth and
Themes streets. which has a long time
been occupied by Jere Graham and his
wife, Graham was sued a number of
years ago by Culver & Arnold and judg-
ment recovered against him. Execution
was issued on the judgment and the
property in question sold. At the sale
Mrs. Graham appeared and gave notice
that the property belonged to her and
not to her husband. It was Knocked off
to Culver & Arnold. When the pur-
chasers attempted to get possession Of
the premises they were resisted, and the
result was an action in the district court.
Upon the trial of that case the court held
that Mrs. Graham was the owner of the
property and that the c~onveyances which
had placed it in her possession, we're not
fraudulent. The case then went before
the territorial supreme court and there
the lower court was reversed and the
properly nelu W otiOuR 10 SulVer o. ar
mold. Then another action was instituted
on behalf of the Grahams, they settling
up the claim of homestead. The dis
trict court of Laramie county sustained a
demurrer filed by Culver Il Arnold, on the
ground that even though the place was
the homestead of Graham and his wife.
this should have been set up in the first
action aud it was on this point that the
case went up to the present supreme court.
Justice Conway delivered the opinion of
the court, affirming the judgment Of the
lower court and deciding in effect that the
property belongs to Messrs. Culver &
Arnold.
In the case of Gramm VS.. Fisher, on
error from the third Judicial district, the
Judgment OF the court below was affirmed,
for the reason that the proceedings in
error had been prematurely taken. JUS
tice Merrill delivered the opinion of the
court.
The balance of the afternoon was de-
voted to the argument of the case of
Cronkite VS.. Boutwell,. Judge Scott
acted in place of Justice Merrill, who au-
nounced himself as disqualified.

be b%roughtto bear upon the governors do
that but it remains to be seen what will
be the result of such pleadings. When

Yesterday afternoon Charley Miller, tho
county Jail. 1t was about FIVE hours after
Justice Conway had confirmed the deci-
sion of the district court and solemnly
said that Miller must die. He was calm,
cool. and about as collected as ever he
was. The bold, reckless, boy murderer
was even inclined to be jocose and CON
versed about the dreadful death sentence
which has been placed upon him as DIS
interestedly as il it had been pronounced
against the man in the moon. When
asked if he had anything to say for the
press he replied that the decision was
nothing more than he had expected all
the while. Il never expected to get
a new trial." be said refectively.
Ever since l attempted to es-
cape last September with Par
kison the people have had 1t Il for
me. When l attempted to get away

told and that is what l believe. l do not

REVENUE CUTTERS.
Appropriation for Vessels for Service
on This Coast.

Appropriation for Vessels for Service
on This Coast.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Representa-
tive Patterson, from the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce, re-
ported to the House with amendments
the Senate bill making an appropriation
and providing for the construction of two
United States revenue vessels for service
on the Pacific Coast. The committee,
after consideration, concluded that there
is urgent necessity for an additional
revenue cutter for service on the Puget
Sound to enforce the laws restricting
Chinese Immigration and the prevention
OF the smuggling of opium, and request
greater speed and equipment than by the
Wolcott. The committee is Of the opin-
ION, however, that there is no absolute
necessity for more than one additional
revenue cutter for the Pacific Coast. The
Bear, which has heretofore made an an
nual cruise to Western Alaska and the
Art1c Ocean, is sufficient for the present
service in those waters, while the Wolcott
could be repaired and fitted up for service
at San Diego. AS amended, the bill APP
propriates $I75,000 for cutter of 600 tons
displacement, having speed OF fifteen
knots per hour

Subject.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Congress-
man Cutting takes some exceptions to
paragraph printed in the San Francisco
papers about week ago, in which he
was not fully and correctly reported con-
corning the recent decision in the case of
Lau 0w Bew, the Chinese merchant. Mr..
Cutting is of the opinion that, under the
present treaty and existing laws, it is I'M
just TO prohibit the return of Chinese
merchants who have lived in this country
for years and built up large business
industries. He says there are Chinese
merchants IN San Francisco who buy and
pay cash for shiploads of flour, and. in
fact, are the largest exporters of our
products to the Chinese Empire. He is
opposed to the coming of Chinese labor
ers. and is ready to support any bill that
will remedy present evils.
