JUDICIAL INFAMY.

The shameful, brRzen-fsced conduct 0i
the federal judges before whom indus.
trial army leaders and members have
been tried is one Of the Houlest blota
upon the escutchson Of American JUS
tice. Men have been tried, convicted
and sentenced before they had even been
placed under arrest, and even when the
formality Of an arrest has BEEN complied
With, the men have been denied the con-
stitutiOnSl right Of trial by a jury Of
their peers, but have been thrown en-.
tirsly upon the mercy Of merciless auto
Gratis who are owned, body and soul, by
the monied corporations Of the land.
Here is q sample Of the manner in
which the Judiciary COnspire to mete out
the infamous injustice ordered by their
plutoCEstiC owners. The following Il
taken from the Salt Lake Populist, and
is confirmed by the Tribune and al
other papers published in Salt Lakl
City. Il relates to the trial Of the 90
called commonwealth for assuming Il
ride upon the box cars OF the Union Pa
cific railroad, and the readers attention
is called to the fact that the correspond

indicate q pre-OonCeived plan 10 convict
whether the evidence will justify or not
Here is the correspondence as published
by the Salt Lake papers:
"Judgs Smith, who was to open q
term Of court at Nsphi, Monday, May a.
had heard that Judge Merritt wished
him to hear the contempt proceedings at
Salt Lake.
"He telegraphsd Judge Merritt from
Provo Rs follows:
"Mr. Loomis was down last night and
left word that you wanted me 10 come to
Salt Lake and hear the contempt pro-
ceedings against Carter and others. Ia

not bring the cases here; but as they

"Judge Smiths response was 90 fol-
lows:
"T could not have hearing for con-
tempt here, as the receiverShip case has
never been fled in this district. Suther-
land looked it up yesterday. You know

The latest conviction and sentence
before trial is found in the following
telegram:
"OMAHA, June 2l.-The federal court
to-day left for Fort Sidney to try the
$50 'Wsalers confined there for holding
up Union Pacific train at OgRllAla last
week. Complaints were prepared by the
district attorney, charging each man
with contempt Of court, interfering with
interstate traffic and delaying the United
States mails. It is said that some Of
the leaders, against whom strong cases
may be established, will bs made ok
smples Of by giving them penitentisEy
sentences. The others viii be tried in
bunches Of twenty-five and given jail
sentences"
There you have it. "The leaders will
be made examples Of by giving them
penitentisry sentences" The trial in
bunChes Of twenty-five has an infamous
precedent in the case Of the common
weslerB before Hsnford at Seattle,
wherein nearly q hundred inoRensiv0
men were tried and convicted withoEt Q
jury, and are now serving sentence In

ually an early riser, and her first duty of the
day was to go to her mothers apartments,
bid her good morning and help her to dress.
Dora was engaged in this pleasant duty,
talking on the subject of which her heart
was full, and of which she was never weary,
when she saw the commodore and his nephew
walk down the grounds in the direction of the
lookout, where the young man received the
wound which came so near being fatal,
Mrs. Morton surprised her daughter by
saying:
"My child, am sure Commodore West
recognized me last night could not sleep
for wondering what it was best for me to do
under the circumstances. Nothing that can
be said or done, now, can change the facts:
yet feel it is due him that he should know
am not the mercenary and faithless creature
he must have thought me through all these
years. I shall breakfast with him this morn
ing, then take him to the conservatory and
tell him the whole truth. That off my mind,
feel that the bitterness of life will be easier
to bear"
Dora kissed her mother, and as Mile. Ber-
trand entered at that moment, she whispered:
81 am glad, dear mother, you have come
to this decision'
Whether by Dora's design or not, we cannot
pretend to say, but certain it is, that break
fast was served that morning on table set
for four, in Mrs. Morton's private dining
room, which opened into the long labyrinth
Of exquisite conservatories. Ralph was in
high spirits, and the commodore, catching
the humor from the younger man, was any
thing but the taciturn person he had ap-
peared when at table the night before. He
spoke Of the time when he was stationed on
the Pacific coast, with headquarters at San
Francisco. and Of the many pleasant people

THE YOUNG LOVE AND THE OLD
The arrival of his uncle had a most benef-
cial effect upon Ralph Holmes. Being in
perfect state of health, when he received his
injury, the wound began to heal from the
first and, after the pressure had been lifted
from the brain, save for the shock, he was as
strong as he had ever been in his life.
The next morning he dressed, without any
assistance, and knocked at the commodores
door, before he was up. On announcing HIM
self, he was told to come in, which he did,
and advancing to the bed, said:
"Uncle George, there is really no reason
why I should play the invalid any longer.
The scar on my forehead is a little bit
tender, as yet, but, apart from that, I feel
as well as ever did. They breakfast here
about nine, but, if you get up, we can take
stroll through the beautiful grounds till
then, and it will be a pleasant surprise for
Dora to see me unexpectedly at the table,"
"Ah, ha!' said the commodore, throwing
aside the bed cover, and appearing in his
paiamas, $50 you have got as far as that,
eh?"
Gas far as what?" asked Ralph.
"Why, you call her Dora without any pre-
fix. Do you do that when she is PRESENT."
Ralph blushed, tried to laugh, jokingly
told his uncle to hurry up, and then went
down to the broad piazza.
If Ralph expected to surprise Dora by ap-
pearing unexpectedly at table, he was des-
tined to disappointment, for the eyes of love
are ever keen. That young lady was habit

~ CHARTEh AL.
COLONEL. MORTON ACTS WITH DECISION.
Excepting Doctor Elerton, Colonel Morton
Allowed no one to remain in his private office
save when he was present. The alarm of
the signal from the telegraph tower indicated
that the operator wanted him Immediately,
and he knew himself that his friends in San
Francisco were at the other end of the line,
and eager to communicate with him.
The colonets mind was in tumult. What
he had already learned from Captain Almedo
about Lord Pelham confirmed his own
dawning suspicious; yet he was cool and
calm to all appearances, as if nothing un-
usual had happened to disturb him.
Rising quietly from his chair, and ficking
the ashes from his cigar into a receiver on
the table, he said, with his usual calm, delib-
crate tones:
My dear captain, won't you seek out
Eilerton az once, and kindly tell him what
you have reported to me about Lord Pei
ham. and ask his opinion? You had better
take him out on the grounds to do this, SO
that you will not be overheard shall Join
you presently"
Delighted at being restored to the colonel's
favor, which he interpreted to mean the
daughters good graces, Almedo sprang to
his feet, bowed with an excessive courtesy,
and said:
MY dear colonel, shall be delighted"
and thereupon he left the room.
As soon as he had gone the colonel locked
the door OF his private Office, and dashed up
the stairs leading to the telegraph tower,
with the sprightiiness of a boy. The exer-
ton, however, told upon his breath, for, as he
stood painting before the operator, he could
hardly command his voice TO ask:
''Wiiat the devils up, now?"
''French, sir, and a number of your friends,
are at the other end of the line, and eager to
talk with YOU
''Well, say I am here, and ask what is
wanted
Before ask that question. sir, perhaps it
would be we'll for you to read this" said
St. Paul daily globe., 1894-05-06

Without any change Of manner Howard
tore off the envelope, and, at glance, saw
that the letter was a peremptory challenge.
At this time the code prevailed. to some
extent in California, and Albert Howard was
evidently very familiar with its rules, for he
arose, and with bow that might be- respect
full or insulting, as the coloners emissary
chose take it, he said:
Captain Almedo, this suits me=;exactly!
Tell your principal that my friend will wait
upon him within an hour to arrange the con-
ditions. Good day, SIR.
Both men bowed. and Almedo returned to
his horse, which boy was holding outside,
and galloped away.

eyes; think all his friends have gone TO
the shore to fish,
''Then take me to him at once" said the
colonel, greatly relieved to find the man he
was in search of was alone.
The trembling Mexican led Colonel Morton
to Albert Howard's room, knocked, and,
when he was told to enter, opened the door
to admit the colonel, then closed it, and
stood. trembling, on the outside.
Albert Howard was seated in chair, when
the colonel came in, and if he was at all sur
prised at the unexpected appearance Of his
guest, it was not manifest in his face.
Folding his arms, he bowed, and said, in
that half mocking, half courtiy way, which
distinguished him:
"Ah, Colonel Morton, this is an unexpected
pleasure. If you had not called I should
have done myself the honor of visiting Buena
Vista to-day"
Morton did not acknowledge the bow. His
purpose was to overwhelm the man with a
so force him to show his colors.
81 have reason to believe" he began, 'that
you are al imposter! That you are no more
Lord Pelham, than am"
ethan you are Colonel Edward Morton !'
interrupted Albert Howard, with the rapidity
of lightning flash. Without appearing to
heed this Colonel Morton went on, with in
creased anger:
"You came to my house in the guise of
friend; you pretended to. invest money in an
enterprise in which I was interested, though
did not ask you to contribute cent: you
insulted my guests while with them; you left
without any sign of courtesy, or a word of
farewell, and, I understand, have gone back
to associate with the idle and lawless, who
seem to be your chosen companions"
Gas guesser Colonel Morton, you show
decided ability" sneered the other. 'It is
something never tried with success, so I
have long since given it up. have got into
the habit of making sure of all my statements;
investigate carefully, and when on trail
follow it up relentlessy. 1 have been follow
ing you for over twenty years, since the time
you murdered George Howard in your gam
bling house, at Tucson, Arizona"
'sAnd who the devil are you?" thundered
the colonel.
"I,' repeated the former Lord Pelham, "I
am brother of man you murdered. You
may have heard of meas I have heard of
you. The time has come to be frank. You
are Leonard Martin, and I am Albert Howard"
and thereupon Howard took two steps for
ward, till he stood within reach of the purple
faced colonel; then, with quick sweep of the
hand, he struck him on the cheek and sent
him staggering back against the door.
On the instant Colonel Morton's right hand
flew back to his hip, but before he could draw
his pistol Howard covered him with his re-
voiver, and laughing, said: 49,
"Not here! my dear fellow. I do not want
to shoot you down in this room; have had
too long hunt for the game to bag it in this
contemplate way" And he pointed to the
door, aad Colonel Morton opened it and
backed out.

when one o'clock strikes, swear til will
go out OF here, will take her, asleep, just as
she is, in my arms and win carry her home
with me and put her in my bed. Twill bring
her up, give her marriage dowry, love her
like daughter and care for her always, al
ways!'
But the clock struck one, the quarter, the
half and the three-quarters, and Lucien was
still seated before the internal table.
At last, Just one minute before two o'clock,
the dealer rose suddenly and said in loud
voice:
'The bank is broken, gentlemen. Enough
for tonight"
With one bound Lucien was on his feet.
Pushing the gamblers rudely to one side,
who crowded around him and gazed at him
enviously, he went out quickly, hurried down
the stairs, and ran as fast as he could to the
stone bench. In the distance, by the light of
gas jet, he perceived the little girl.
"God be praisedp' he cried, "she is still
there.
He approached her and took her hand
"Oh, how cold she is Poor little one.''
He took her under the arms, lifting her, to
carry her better. The child's head fell back
heavily, and still she did not waken.
"How they sleep at this age!''
He pressed her against his breast to try
and warm her, and at last, filed with vague
uneasiness, he tried to waken her from this
heavy slumber; he kissed her eyes, as he
had formerly kissed the sleeping eyes of some
loved one.
Then he perceived, with terror, that the
child's eyelids were half open, and disclosed
CLASSY, strained, motionless pupils. A hor-.
rible suspicion flashed across him; Lucien
put his mouth close to the little ones mouth;
no breath came.
While Lucien was winning fortune with
the gold louis, which he had stolen from the
little beggar, the homeless child was dead
had died from cold.
Lucien seemed to be strangling with the
frightful agony which had seized upon him.
He tried to cry out, and in the effort he made
he woke from his nightmare and found him.
self on the leather-covered couch, where he
fallen asleep little before midnight, and
where the garconof the club had let him
lie undisturbed out of pity for the poor, ruined
gamester.
misty December dawn struggled through
the windows. Lucien went out, put his watch
in pawn, took bath, breakfasted, and, going
to the recruiting Office, enlisted in the First
Regiment of the Chasseurs d'Afrique
To-day Lucien de Hem is lieutenant: he
has but his pay upon which to live, but he
lives upon it; he has the reputation of being
a fine officer and has never touched card.
1t seems that he can even save something
OF this small income; for the other day in
Algiers one of his comrades, who was follow
ing him, as they: climbed hilly street in
Kasba, seeing him give aims to little Span
ish girl who was sleeping in the doorway,
had the curiosity to look and see what Lucien
had given the little beggar. The curious one
was indeed astonished at the poor lieutenants
generosity.
Lucien de Hem had put gold louis in the
girls hand.

THE DUEL.

After leaving Albert Howard, Colonel Nor
ton went down to the stable, intending to
return to Buena Vista and tell DIR. Ellerton
what had happened. His face was an ashy
gray and his voice trembled as he gave his
order to the stableman. He had hardly
ceased speaking when the pounding of hoofs
was heard, and the next instant Dr. Ellerton
and Captain Almedo rode up and dismount-
ed.
81 am glad you have come, Ellerton,' said
the colonel. 81 was about to 90 back to
Buena Vista to see you.''
'You looked troubled was ElIerton's re-
sponse. 'What is up?"
'Step aside, and will tell you," said the
colonel, and laying his hand on Ellerton's
arm, he drew him quickly into the stable
and told him of his interview with Albert
Howard, and what followed.
Damn him." said Ellerton, sswhy did not
you shoot him, and be done with it?"
81 had that in mind, but the fellow was too
quick for me. Ibacked out of his room look
ing into the muzzle of his pistol.''
"Win he fight if he is challenged, think
you?" asked Elerton, after pause
''Undoubtedlyr' replied the colonel "But,
unfortunately for myself, my eyes, as you
know, are not good, and there he would have
the advantage
Ellerton again paused, thoughtfully strok-
ing his chin the while; then, looking sud-
denly up, as if he had come to a conclusion,
he said:
s'The resemblance between us, which has
often led to confusion, and sometimes done
good service, can now be.used to our advan-
tage. You must shave off your beard to re-
semble mine. Let us so back to Buena Vista.
and do it at once. Then I shall take your
place, use Almedo as my second, and if he
escapes me, he will be the first man who has
ever done so.''
"My God old fellowl' easped the colonel,
II do not wantto subject you to this dangerr'
"Danger!" repeated Ellerton. When in
twenty years have we been free from danger?
Bear in mind, there is a thousand times more
danger in letting this man live than in run
