French Politics.

The indications all point to an early
cabinet crisis in France. If it were not
for the fact that French politics are
governed by the laws Of paradox, it
would be safe prophecy to say that
the Dupuy ministry would not last an
other fortnight. It is generally felt that
President Casimir- Perier would not be
at all disturbed by the necessity of re-
organizing his board of official advisers.
There have been several such cases be-
fore. The enemies Of the president may
succeed in making his seat untenable.
Efforts to that end will be made before
many weeks, but many improbable
things must happen before they can sue

THECOUkT.
A Dozen Indictments Returned BY
the Grand Jury.

The grand jury finished it's work
last Friday morning, bringing in II in
dictments against.parties under arrest,
or those who have since been arrested.
Probably the most.conspicous Of the
lot is the indictment against Charles
D. Thompson, who has for many
years been in the.machine business in
this city, on the charge of grand larce-
ny in the second degree. The prose-
cutting witness is the Pesch Manu-
featuring Company, of Sioux City,
Iowa, that corporation accusing Mr..
Thompson of buying a we'll drilling
outfit of them, disposing of the same
and appropriating the money to his
good parts. While the prosecution
seems to be conducted with view of
conviction the defense will probably
attempt to make it appear that the
Manufacturing Company is attempt
ing to use criminal process in order
to enforce civil collection. Mr..
Thompson was arraigned in court
shortly after the grand jury returned
the indictments, plead not guilty, and
was held for trial under $500 bail,
which was furnished at once. H. D.
Baldwin and Geo. w. Somerville are
his attorneys.
Ernest Davis was indicted for grand
larceny in the second degree, in con-
nection with the stealing of an over
coat from the livery barn Of H. D.
Everett last spring. The young fell
low is only Is years of age, and was
one of the parties who attempted to
raid hen roost over in Renville coun-
ty, and who got shot in the act. He
pleaded not guilty, and will stand
trial. Geo. w. Soherville was APP
pointed as attorney for the young
man.
John McIlreavie, well-known about
town, was indicted on the charge Of
grand larceny in the second degree.
It will be remembered that he was
arrested for the larceny Of gold pen

the first to see the deceased after Mrs.
Otto, gave the jury an account OF his
experience, which confirms the testi-
mony of previous witnesses. He said
that Mrs. Otto was greatly excited and
out of breath when she reached his
house, and when she returned to the
house she franticalIy tore the curtain
from the window.
Mrs. Emily Kohlhase, daughter,
residing at Sleepy Eye, told the jury
that her mother had said that Otto
had dreamt of some one shooting him,
and that recently he was restless in
his sleep. She had never heard OF
any talk about her father making a
will, and she knew of nothing missing
to convey the idea that it was case OF
robbery. She knew of no trouble be-
tween the father and the mother, nor
with the children over money matters
Mrs. Kohlhase's husband gave testi-
mony confirming her own. He did
not know of Otto or any of the boys
carrying revolver. He thought that
some tramp had watched Otto and
shot him, intending to get some money
out of him.
On Thursday afternoon County At
torney Miller kept William Otto on
the rack for over an hour, making him
explain his signature on Cormonton's
poison book last May, and every mi
mute of the time on the day of the
murder. Up to noon of that day Hen.
~ and he we're working on the shed
he said. Right after dinner he went
to see August Vogel about getting
some road scrapers, the distance be-
ing about six miles. He returned
about three o'clock and continued
working with Henry on the shed I'M
til dark when he helped his brothe,
Fred haul a load of hay, he and his
wife taking supper at Fred's place
where Henry broke the news brought
him by messenger that the elder
Otto was dead. DHis explanation oil
the poison record is given above, and
it is only necessary to add that he had
a very bad memory.
Henry Otto confirmed Willie's
movements on that day. He never
heard his father say that he expected
to be killed in some way. He bought
two bottles of poison last spring,which
were used for gophers and blackbirds
He had no revolver and did not be
lieve that his father did. Mrs. VIM
OFT o confirmed her husbands move
ments on the day of the murder, afte
which an adjournment was taken un-
til to-day at two o'clock.
In case the alibi of the Otto family
is confirmed to-day there is but one
remaining theory. = And that is, some
one knowing that lotto had a large
amount of money on his person or il
his house, watched! his movements
and deliberately murdered him. The
fact that he had nothing in his peck
cts when found confirms this theory
in measure, while the tracks in tn,

in the second degree.
Judge Bowers was appointed as adj
wiser of Harry Muncell, who was ar
rested last summer for entering the
house of Charles D. Thompson and
stealing a silver plated knife, some of
Mrs. Thompson's excellent jelly and
a loaf of bread. The young fellow
will probably be sent to the Red Wing
reform school.
An indictment was returned against
John Ives for forging the name of c..
w. Tiffany to check upon the Red
wood County Bank, and passing the
same upon G. w. Vaughn. Ives
plead guilty to the charge.
VIM. Schultz, the Walnut Grove
dispenser of drinks, was arraigned on
several different counts of selling
liquor to minors, selling without a
license, and selling on Sunday. He
plead not guilty to the charges, and
will stand trial. John Frank, Thos.
Hudson and Geo. w. Brown were al
so indicted for the misdemeanor of
selling liquor to minors, and plead
not guilty. They gave bail.
In the case of the Board of County
Commissioners vs.. Tillson Tibbetts,
ex-county auditor, an action to recover
alleged excessive salary paid, Judge
Weber granted the application of
Attorney Pierce to file. the amended
complaint to take place of the original.
The case of Walter Martin VS.. E. M.

salary as wheat buyer, was continued
oven until next term.
The case of the Citizens Bank VS..
Joseph Hardegger and Andrew Ohre
as intervenor, an action to recover on
security backed by G. A. Francois &
CO., resulted in the interyenor getting
a verdict of $223.94, which stands
against the mercantile firm. Hard
egger alleged that Ohre was renting
his farm, at the time the grain, sup
posed to be his, was taken.
When court convened Monday
morning John Ives was called to the
bar and sentence passed upon him.
He said that he had never learned a
trade, was A years Of age and had
never committed crime. Ives stated
that he worked for the q. S. Express
Co. in St. Paul for five years, and
then on the St. Paul police force for
six years. When asked whether he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him he
said nothing except that he was drunk
when he committed the crime. The
Judge had heard SO and proposed to
make the sentence light for that
reason, although Mr.. Ives was to take
this as lesson not to get drunk.
1T will be better than the Kelley
cure" remarked Mr.. Ives, after which
Judge Weber sentenced him to hard
labor in Saltwater for one year.
Harry Mclean was committed to
the Red Wing reform school, under
the rules and regulations of that IL
stitution.

refused transportation. We have seen
that when work was offered in individual
cases they did not accept it. The sim
cerity of their motives may thus well be
questioned. =
The intention of the army is stated to
be to march to Washington and demand
labor. This is question for congress
to decide. Their action will be guided
by the consensus ofopinion of the nation.
If the army is feted and hurrahed en-
route by all the people, their demands
must be taken as just, and to be com
piled with. It is yet, perhaps, too early
to decide definitely as to the movement.
Developments must be awaited, but at
the first intimation of lawlessness or
violence it is the duty of every patriotic
citizen to raise against them and that
quickly and effectually.
Since the above was penned comes
the news of the affrav at Billings, Mont.
Our fears are hence confirmed that there
is danger in the formation of these large
bodies of undisciplined men. The news
comes like the firing of the first shot at
Fort Sumpter. Is it the prelude to a
general and bloody strife, or will the
native good sense of the American people
now rise to the emergency, and put down
this vagrant army?

A GREAT ENGLISH JuRIsT.

Some Queer Traits of the Late Sir James
stephen.
1t was said of the late Sir James
Fitzjames Stephen, of the high court of
Justice who retired from the bench in
1891, that he was the greatest author
ity on criminal law that the bar has
produced.
The stories told of his severe utter
ances and of his gentle and merciful
deeds would fill a volume, says the
New York Sun. Although his manner
was rough and his sentences invariably
pronounced in harsh voice, genuine
distress always appealed to his kind
heart and won his sympathy. His
lordship never had the slightest hesi-
tation in rebul1ing a barrister, of no
matter how high standard, who failed,
even for AN instant, to respect the dig
nifty of the court, or who took unfair
advantage of a witness. And Sir
James rebuIses were often more
dreaded than the adverse verdict of a
jury On the other hand, he would go
far out of his way to assist struggling
young barrister who lacked only ex-
perience.
It was said of him that he was law
yer among literary men and literary
man among lawyers. His speeches and
his legal decisions ran in a style that
reminded one of Macaulay whom he
had evidently taken for his literary
model. His literary sketches bear the
stamp of sound mind and good judg-
ment. His first production was a
series entitled: Essays by Barris-
ter which appeared in the Saturday
Review and secured for him foothold
in the literary world. While on the
bench many of his decisions and utter
ance We're severely criticised.
81 should not be1:eve man on his
oath, he once said, 'twho told me he
did not care for getting on That re-
mark was criticised in nearly every
publication in England, much to his
lordships disgust. The small things
of life did not interest him very much.
and he frequently amused roomful
of barristers and spectators by asking
the meaning of something which an
ordinary child might know

Trapped by q Photograph.

Here is a curious little story told by
an English solicitor. He had among
his clients a few years ago notorious
company promoter, whose financial af-
fairs came to grief. One day, happen
ing to pass by a stationer's shop, his
attention was attracted by portrait
of Mr.. -, the well-known barrister.
Mr.. - was attired in wig and gown
and in his hand he held paper on
which the solicitors sharp eyes caught
the name of his client. His curiosity
aroused. he purchased the photograph
and proceeded to decipher the words of
Mr.. IS brief, speedily discovering
that they indicated that warrant was
''out'' for the arrest of his client. In
few hours the man of finance was out
of England.
