In the case of the state against

In the case of the state against
Postmaster Geo. E. Rand, Attorney
L. A. Simpson for the defense, has
raised the point of law as to whether
the sections of the compiled laws for
1887 which define and prescribe a
punishment for adultery, are in
force or we're in force in 1895, the
year the crime, is alleged to have been
committed. He makes the claim
that these sections were repealed by
the Edmunds law introduced by Sen.
ator Edmunds of Vermont) passed
by congress. March, 1887; and that
the state legislature having never re.
enacted these sections. or passed any
other law covering the same subject,
prior to January l, 1895. had no law
defining or punishing adultery. The
question is an important one and the
outcome will be watched with con.
siderable interest, as in point of fact
tho state has very strong case
against Rand. 1t is claimed that one
or more Of the district judges in the
state has passed on this point of law
and supported the contention now be.
ing made, also that the supreme
court of South Dakota in case re
ported in the 59th N. W. Rep. infer.

county Jail were surprised to find
that Geo. Rand was busily engaged
trying to filc in two the bars Of one

Rand would diligently apply the file,
while the Olson boy. who is in with
him, would pull on the bar. In this
way they had nearly severed one bar.
But it would require number Of files
and the removal of ut least three
bars to permit of their escape.

The James M.uskier Case.

As stated in the Press last week,
Sheriff Lish was called to Miles City
on the 18th to investigate the arrest
and death of James Manskier. The
following from the Miles City Jour.
nal covers the case so far as the pub
lie knows:
On the first of January Stock De.
tective w. D. Smith received word
from Sheriff Lish of Dickinson to ar
rest Jim Manskier. charged with
stealing fifty head of cattle belonging
to P. Indergaard of Belfield. N. D.
Since then the officers have been
watching tho west hound trains for
the man. Thursday evening about
9:3O a light train pulled into the depot
from the east. Inspector Smith. TO-
gether with police officers Jackson
and johnson, boarded the caboose be.
fore it came to stop, the first two
entering the front door and the latter
entering from the rear. They saw
their man sitting in the car. Jackson
and Smith covered him, Smith order.
ing him four times to throw up his
hands, which lie failed to do, but, in
stead. as the officers say, was slowly
reaching for his gun. When he got
his hand to the gun Smith fired. the
lights in the car going out. Smith
shot five times, three of which shots
took effect in the mans right breast,
one ball going completely through
him. Two wounds are also in his left
hand and wrist, but it is said he threw
his hand to his breast after the first
shot, and in this way received those
wounds. Officer Jackson says the
man ifell at the third shot. When
on the floor NJ nskier still had his
hand on his gun and Smith took 1t
from him. He also had a 80 Sc Win.
chester, which the officers took.
DIR. Grey was called and the man
taken to the Macqueen house, where
he was cared for in his last hours.
He refused to give his name or any
information concerning himself to
the doctor. During the night among
those who visited the wounded man
was Cliff Cruise, who was recognized
Immediately and motioned to seat
at his bedside. He then was willing
to speak. He said to Cruise: "They
have murdered me; they told me to
throw up my hands and began shoot.
ing. If the first shot hadn't paralyzed
my right arm I'd have got one of
them. I'm as innocent of the charge
,s the babe unborn. Jim Henderson
lied and got me into this scrape," He
said he had $32 in his pocket. He
wanted IS paid to Bob Mayes and
$40 to a friend Dock at Dickinson.
He said those were his only debts on
this earth. He asked Cruise to send
his Winchester to Mark Gentry at
Albany, Shackleford county, Texas,
He insisted on Cruise staying with
him, which he did. Death occurred
at $40 Friday morning.
Cliff Cruise has known the man
since 1887, when they met in New
Mexico, and worked together in COW
outfits. Two years ago he came up
with the TT outfit and they met
again at Orin Junction. During the
past summer Manskier worked for
the o X. He, according to Cruise, has
always borne a good reputation. He
was an agreeable. hard working COW
hand who did not drink and was al.
ways popular in the outfits with which
he worked. He was about 20 years
old and stood six feet one inch.
