Mans Cattle--A Damags Suit
Again On Trial.

The United States grand Jury finished its
work yesterday and we're finally discharged
by Judge Knowles. Their report 10 the
court was very brief. a. follows:
To the honorable the circuit court OF the
United States for the district of Montana /:
We, tho grand jury Of said court for the
April term, 1892, respectfully report hat we
have examined all witnesses, documents
and other evidence which have been brought
before us in all cases wherein persons have
been charged with crimes against the laws
of the United States. In all cases in which
persons have been bound over by commig-
aioners of this court, the evidence has boon
laid before M by ths United States district
attorney. and we have taken such action ~
seemed to be warranted by the law and the
facts. We have been in session fifteen
days. We have examined forty-fve wit
nesses from different parts Of the state. in
Guiding Indians and Chinese, through in
terpreters. We have found eighteen true
bills, which are presented to the court. We
ignored one transcript, United States vs..
Edward Morris. We recommend that his
bond be released and his bondsmen dis
charged. We respectfully report that we
visited the United States p%enitentiary It
Deer Lodge. Mont, and made . careful in
vestigation Of that institution, With
reference to the treatment of United
States prisoners there confined.
We examined under oath the
officials OF That institution and government
prisoners serving sentences, in each case
separately and without the hearing Of other
persons, and from our investigation are
fully satisfied that the management OF the
said penitentiary 10 in every way careful
and efficient. We recommend the pardon
Of William Barnes, now inoarcerated for
countorfsitin2. 1t il tho unanimous desire
of the grand jury that this public express
sion Of appreciation be made to the court
for courtesies received. We wish also to
thank the United States marshal and his
deputies for the prompt discharge Of all
duties requested of them BY the grand jury,
and also United States Attorney Weed and
Assistant Attorney Mcdonald for the ooun-
sci and aid which they hAvs rendered to the
grand jury during its deliberations. Ha v
ing no further business We respectfully ask
to be discharged.
You are entitled to the thanks of tn il
court" said Judge Knowles. 'for the faith
fnl performance OF your duty, and are dis
charged"
The csse Of Edward Morris, which the
grand jury ignored, was for selling liquor
to Indians. William Barnes, the counter
feiter, whose pardon they recommended,
has been in prison about q year.. Tbs grand
jury handed to she court, along with their
report, true bills against All Let and All

cole Olason.n

The clear field 40 long con trolled by
farce comedies Of the Hoyt school has been
broken into Of late and the Joe Murphy
type of Irish plays and the German dialect
pieces made popular by the lamented ]. X.
Emmett no longer have the stage all to
themselves. A rival has entered the arena
and is already making a strong fight for
supremacy with Il good show of d living the
old FOSSILS out of the business. This new
departure from the well beaten track ia the
Swedish-Amerlcan comedy-drama which
had ita origin last season whsn some lucky
Individual in looking around for something
fresh in the theatrical line, stumbled upon
the idea of putting a Swedish oharscter
upon the stage. Tho play was given tho
title Of solo Oleson." In due time ths
piece was safely launched and was soon
sailing in smooth waters. Almost from its
inception "Ole Oleson'' was a success.
cole Oleson," in Its new dress, comes to
Mins's opera house Thursday and Friday
of this week. This yenr'o company is nh
unusually clever one, containing some o.
the brightest lights of the farce-comedy
stage. The scenery is all new and realistic.

HARRISON THEIR MAN.
The Administration Yesterday Cap
tured the Republican County
Convention.
Delegates Cheer for Blaine but the
Presidents Friends Get the
Honore.
Baxendnla Precinct Proves to Ha nm I'm
portAnt Point-The Delegates md
tho Resolutions.

Blaine got the cheers md Harrison tha
votes At the republican county convention
yesterday. II would have been different
had the delegates believed Blaine would
make tbs raos Mt Minneapolis, but they did
not, 70 their second choica was Harrison.
and OF the ~thirty-two delegates to the Mis-
soula convention chosen yesterday twenty
eight of them, at least, should it como to q
showdown. will be found on Harrison's
aide a. against any other candidate. The
convention was intended to be a sort OF a
love feast, SO a. to give the wicked demo-
Gratis the impression that the lion and the
lambs in the G.. @. r. in this county were
going to occupy tho same bed OF straw from
now until next November. The love feast
lasted for about four hours, but that was "a
long az the factions could stand the strain.
u only took 2 little thing to rsnd the volt,
and this little thing was the precinct Of
B~axendals. Tho anti-Harrison people fol-
four hours saw the opposition running af-
fairs as they pleased, and did not allow
their displeasure to appear above the sur
face. But when they saw the long estab.
lished presidents of the party in the state
overturned. they made a protest. but were
most effectually sat down upon, and told,
BY the action Of the convention, that they
we're present, not as actors, but as auditors.
i gave them opportunity, however. to tell
. few plain truths, and'thi Col. Botkin did
in un~mistakable language. Mr.. Botkin was
the leader Of tho anti-Harrisonites, and
strong a mas as he is in his party councils,
il was only By ths courtesy Of r. H. Howey
that his name appears az d delegate to the
state convention. Botkin, Howey. and
Mysndorf each received the same number
Of votes for delegate at large, but before
another ballot could be taken Mr.. Howey
got out Of the race and asked that Botkin
be given the place, and that was done.
The colored people Jared worse than the
anti Harrison men. and were treated az
they have always besn by the republican
bosses IN this county. Despite the fact
that there are about 400 colored voters in
the county, WHO have heretofore voted al
most solidly the republican ticket, yester-
days convention gave them an alternate 10
the state convention, and District Attorney
Weed, chairman of the delegation, said on
the floor Of the convention that the colored
men were fully represented in this one al
ternate.

DANGEROUS TRIUNPH.

Mayor Gleason has vanQuishcd his adver-
saries and trailcd the Jcifclsonian banner in
the dust. 1t is an hour Of triumph for the
Unsuitable patriot who has courted death on
innlmorable occasions, but never slrrcnderS
The immediate future of Long Island City Is
secure. The man whom the returns had the
face to elect is reduced to the Illuminating ne
cessty Of a legal appeal. The Mayor holds the
official fort. and is prepared to hml defiance
and other things at all hours OF the day and
night. Rut. though il is great victory, we
arc forced TO acknowledge that it might have
been a more glorious one. When Patrick
Gleason first asccrtancd that he hadn't votes
enough he declared that the JcfersonanS had
dcbauched the electorate, and proclaimed his
nurposc 10 pursue the indicators and bring
them 10 Justice. That would have been
noble crusade, whether or not it had resulted
in reversing the verdict OF the polls, and we
were prompt to sanction and applaud II. But
now il appcars that the stress of circumstances
confused the Mayors sense of obligation 10 his
untciliiicd and unpurchaSable constituents, ana
he has contentod himself with a comparatively
inClorous conquest. Instead Of tracing Ger
ruption through all its channels u It's source
and sending the Jeffcrsonians t. jail IN shoals
he has merely caused some 500 votes for the
audacious Sanford to be thrown out and thus
contiivcd Il neat and substantial majority lot

a trinc limp and scanty
1t nav be that a great and bcnC!iccn; pur-
pose undcrlics this apparent compromise with
principle Possibly the Mayor hopes 70 lure
bis enemy into court and there 10 visit him
with Justice in its most majestic form. But
there is some danger that Sanford will clude
him. At present the JcferSonanj are accused
merely of being, like their illustriouN pr"o-
type. excessively bad spoilers There is no PROOF
that they were hired t. spell their candidates
name four or five different ways for Election
Day. and if they were, it Is obvious that
Sanford did not hire them. And If somebody
should take the trouble 10 ask who DID, the
answer might seriously embarrasS the Hon.
Patrick Gleason. 1t might even turn ont thai
his strategy had been the ruin of him. And
then what would happen to Long Island City :
