luS lGtI Sldnu Jul 1cAo UCOh busily engaged on committee work during the fore part of the week. They yesterday adjourned until tomorrow, when it is thought they will present their first report.

 The United States grand jury yestef- day made it's first report and adjourned until tomorrow morning The jury re- turned indictments against Elijie Sanchez, for selling liquor to Indians. and found two indictments against Petririo Pecez on the same charge. Charges against the following persons were ignored: Barnabe Cabesa, adul- tery; Juliano Contreras, adultery; Juan de la Fuenta, adultery; Anassacio Topia, adultery
 l Wm Tyree, the colored man who pleaded guilty to grand larceny, was yesterday brought up for sentence. At the same time, Susie Smith, the colored girl who was found guilty of receiving stolen goods, the same that were stolen by Tyree, was also brought into court.
 Her attorney made strong argu- ment for a new trial of her case, but was overruled by the court
 | Tyree was ordered to stand up and receive sentence. The judge then committed him to the penitentiary for two years. The sentence was asnient, for on the discretion of the court he could have received a maximum sen tence of ten years.
 In pronouncing sentence on Susie Smith the judge referred to the sat utes and was confronted by peculiar provision which states that the pris- oner could be incarcerated for five years in the penitentiary, or six months in the county jail, or both.
 That matter would be a physical i'm possibility, for it would seem unreas- enable that the prisoner could be in- carcerated in the county jail and the penitentiary at the same lime. The court then announced that she would receive a sentence Of one year in the penitentiary.
 The jury yes eriGy returned a yer dict of not gully in the B. A. Hadseil incest case. That the accused was cleared of the charge so easily he may lay to the brilliant defense made in his behalf by his attorneys, Pierce Evans and J. B. Early.
 The indictment found by the grand jury alleged that the offense5 were committed on March 30, 1893, and divers other times. A demurrer was interpcsed by the defense to the indict- ment and was overru,ed by the court. During the trial of the case the terri tory introduced the father Of the Had sell girl to testify to the girls relation ship to B. A. Hadsell, the accused.
 A motion was made by the defense to elect the count upon which the case should be tried, and it was finally set tied on March 30, the alleged time the intimacy began between Had sell and his niece. The defense then moved to dismiss the case on the grounds that the girl was an accomp- lice and no corroborative testimony was given to suIbstantiate her state ments and brought up the question of law as to what the court should in struct the jury. The court in instruct ing the jury said that the uncorrabora- tive testimony of the accomplice was not sufficient evidence and instructed | them ilO return Wlun 3 VerulcL Cd nOI guilty, which was done.
 The testimony of the girl and that of her father was all the evidence that was produced by the defense. Had sell himself was not put on the stand and the defense claim that his testi- mony and that of other reputable wit nesses they had would have conclusive Fly proved that the accused was in Kan sas at the time the girl elected the of fense was committed
