ONE YEAR FOR BACKSTRUM.
He Pleads Guilty to an Assault Upon
Worthington Clark.

John G. Backstrum, the Swede who
was arrested one night last week and
charged with the crime of having made
an assault with a deadly weapon upon
Worthington Clark, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Hayford this afternoon. In
reply to questions, he said he was
drunk at the time the act was com,
mltted and did not know what he was
doing. He had arrived in the city to-
gether with a companion on the 2Jth
inst: was "a years of age; had been in
America eight years, most of the time
in California; had never had any trou-
be in his life before. and had never
been drunk more than three or four
times.
When asked what his plea was, he
stated that he was perfectly willing to
plead guilty to the crime as charged
and receive the sentence of the court.
Judge Hayford said it was an I'M
usual thing to see M of his nativity
charged with so serious a crime and
III view VI HIS youth anu ll1XDeT1ence
the court was disposed tt treat him as
leniently as the law would permit. The
sentence of the court would therefore
be one year in the p~enitentiary. II the
prisoner conducted himself in a proper
manner this would be reduced by law
to 10 months, and after his release it
was the hope Of the court that the seri-
Gus lesson would be a warning to him
and that he would yet be a good citi-
zen.
He was remanded to the custody Of
the sheriff and will at once be taken to
the penitentiary.

DONZELMAN INDICATED.
Laramie County Bar Committee Find
Charges Groundless.

At the recent trial of Croker for the
murder of Harvey Booth. Attorney
Hamm Of Evanston filed an affidavit
rejecting very severely upon the honor
and integrity Of Attorney Hugo Donzel-
man of Cheyenne. A committee was
appointed by Judge Scott to make a
thorough investigation. The result was
a complete eXoneration, and The Re-
publican takes pleasure in presenting
it in full, as follows:
l. The committee are Of the opin-
ion that the affidavit of Harry A. Stew
ems, which shows upon it's face that the
said Stevens has been convicted Of
some felony, and also that, according
TO his own statement, he had "a good
memory for money and that he in
tended to collect a large amount as the
testimony and then not perform his
part of the agreement, is not in itself
worthy of credit, and that said afida-
Wit being unsupported and not corrob-
GRATED in my way, Is unworthy of
credit, and should not be taken as the
basis of any proceeding looking to the
disbarment of the party herein accused.
.. The committee are further of the
opinion that after abundant opportuni-
ty had been given to the attorney who
presented the affidavit to the court, and
personal notification by one member
of the committee to one of the collea-
CUES OF said attorney in the case of
the State of Wyoming vs.. Edwin S.
Croker, to appear before the commit
.ee and present evidence in support OF
he accusation contained in the afida-
Wit of Stevens, the utter failure on the
part of gaid attorney, or n other per-
son to appear before said committee or
to present any such evidence, indicates
that the party or parties who instituted
this proceeding are utterly unable
TO present any evidence in support Of
the charge made against the said Hugo
the said Stevens.
3. That Notwithstanding the fact
that no evidence entitled to any weight
Or value was offered against him, the
accused Hugo Donzelman voluntarily
appeared before the committee and pre-
sented evidence in his own behalf, con-
sisting Of his own testimony, the testi-
mony and affidavit OF John w. Lacey
,,J G. ,,1 TT C,,- ri. T..
the case Of the State of Wyoming vs..
Croker, and a number of afidavits
made by other parties at his request
and in his behalf: and Information hav-
ing come to the committee that a con-
versation had been had with said Stew
ems by Attorney General Fowler, at the
request OF the committee, Mr.. Fowler
appeared before them and gave his ties,
timony as above set forth, and said evil
dece offered by the accused and pre-
sented at the request of the committee.
clearly indicates that there was no at
tempt made Oh the part OF the accused
to commit the offense of s%ubornation
OF perjury, or to conduct himself in any
unprofessional way whatever.
The committee therefore recon-
mend that no proceedings be institute
ed for the purpose Of the disbarment OF
the said Hugo Donzelman or the revo-
cation of his license to practice law.

The experiment station at State College
Centre County, offers young men a fine
chance this winter to do some agricultural
studying, of which the young men think
ing of farming in this county should take
advantage Their Chautauqua course can
be taken at home, the tuition of which is
free, as well as that of all other courses.
The books required on the Chautauqua
course are furnished to students at greatly
reduced prices from retail rates. Editor
Van Etten has kindly offered to furnish
circulars of information to ali who will
call for them, as you may have noticed in
previous issue of the PPEss. There are
six courses in all. 1t certainly will be bet
ter than spending ones time in stores and
saloons. No examination is required to
enter the Chautauqua course, and ex-
aminations and certificates are given
through the mail, on the completion of
the course. We quote as follows, "There
is no charge what ever for registering stu
dents in this course or for any assistance
or instruction. This course is open to all,
and may be begun at any time. Any part
of a course may be taken and pursued as
rapidly as the student desires Do not
hesitate to get circular and look it over.
1t is chance that our fathers did not
have. Brains must be used in farming at
the present day. Farmers should also
make more use of the experiment stations,
by writing them of difficulties of the farm
etc. At State College they furnish even
their own postage, and are very prompt
and polite. Their prime object certainly
was for the farmers benefit. Be sure to
also have them put this your name on
their mailing list, for their bulletins and
reports as issued.
