koff, who was found dead on the Big
+ our Railroad track near Butler, in this
county, about twenty-three years ago,

indicate that he was murdered. and that
George W. Cooper, Il wagon-maker of
Butler, was the guilty party. The chief

robbed him of 500 and threw his body on
the railroad track, and that she washed
her fathers bloody clothing. The matter

was sentenced by Judge Catlin yesterday
to one years imprisonment at Folsom.

pleaded not guilty. He was allowed to

The crime for which he was convicted
was stealing a shotgun belonging to j. J.
Shoup from u cabin on the north levee,
but the owner of the weapon did not de-
sire to have Smith punished seriously for
the theft, hence he was given an oppor
tunity to escape a longer sentence by
pleading gully to the lesser charge.

DART FAILED
To Get a Writ Of Error From the
Federal Court.

10 let writ or ErrOr from the
Federal Court.
: An application was made to Justice
David j. Brewer, of the United States
supreme court. yesterday by the attor-
neys for G. Fl. Dart, the deposed county
treasurerer of Meeker county. for writ
of error. Justice Brewer is in the city
to sit OH the bench of the circuit court
of appeals, hence the application was
made. After hearing brief statement
of the facts as to the decision of Gov.
Nelson and the state supreme court,
Justice Brewer declined to grant the
writ of error, making statement that
the matter had not been properly
brought within the jurisdiction of the
federal courts. This probably settles
any further effort to carry the case to
the supreme court of the United States.
In view of the turn of affairs. it is
probable that the stay of proceedings in
the supreme court of Minnesota will
not be extended, and writ of custer
will probably be issued soon, and the
Meeker county treasurer will be per-
manently deposed from Office.
