Judge Knight will close the best
term of court tomorrow that Fremont
county ever had. There was not a
criminal case in the term, but what
the verdict was guilty, and last Mon
day afternoon the judge sentenced the
following named prisoners:
Charles E. Grant, who pleaded guilty
of murder in the second degree. Sen
fenced for life.
Thomas P. Tway convicted of rape;
fifteen years
Peter Snyder and his wife, Minnie,
convicted Of manslaughter, were given
ten and six years respectively.
Sim Chandler and James Walker
were, given six years each for grand
larceny.

years.

three years for stealing Charles
Fleteher's horses.
Frank Bryant was fined $50 and costs
for assault. He gave security and was
released, promising the judge that he
would never let his name appear on
the big book again; but it was scarcely
six hours before he was arrested again,
and this time under a charge of at
tempting to commit murder. He was
denied continuance and went to trial
Wednesday. The case went to the jury
at 1880 Thursday night and this morn
ing at o'clock they came in with a,
verdict of guilty as charged. Frank
has been a bad man for a long time,
and has been cleared on some charge
or other at every term of court for
the last ten years in this county. He
has made the statement that he could
not be convicted in Fremont county;
that Judge Knight didn't dare SEN
tence him, etc. but he will think other
wise before morning. as the judge has
given him until 7:90 this evening to fix
UP any business matters he may have
to attend to, at which time he is to
receive his sentence. At 7:90 D. m.
court convened, and Frank Bryant
was brought in to receive sentence.
Frank strongly insisted that he was
innocent of the charge against him,
and asked the judge to be as easy with
him as possible. The judge gave him
some good friendly advice and then
sentenced him to ten years in the pen
ltentiary at Laramie City.
It won't take many such terms of
court as we have just had to make
some of the boys hard to catch, and
Fremont county would have been in
better condition financially if this had
been done ten years ago.
