Editor INDEPENDENT:-Wea are now
stationed at Fort d. A. Russell
Wyoming. about three miles west of
Cheyenne. There are ten troops of
us, in all about 800 soldiers, and the
old fort presents quite lively ap-
pearance. Fort Russell is certainly
quite place and all the boys are
rather attached to it, principally be-
cause of its many Accommodations,
such as baths, billiard tables and
many different exercising machines
etc. We are drilled twice day for
an hour and aside from the police
duty, to which every private is sub
ject, and an hour devoted to the
school of soldiers" by the officers, we
are at liberty to do as we will, of
course not being allowed to leave the
fort. So you see we are not being
killed with overwork.
Our physical examination took
place on the Its, and every man from
Nevada, excepting one was passed.
The chief of the examining ply
sicians says that this beats all records
known in United States military cir
Giles and he openly stated that in the
twenty years he has oeen in the SER
vice he had never before seen such
physical development as be found
in the boys from Nevada. We also
have the reputation of being the best
drilled troop in, the fort, 30 far the

A SUDDEN ENDING.
The Complaint Against Ed. John
SON and Others Incorrect.

The trial of Ed Johnson and Frank
Troi for battery on Mrs Shreeves was
held yesterday in the City Justices
court.
Mike Rowland, H. T. Silvious, An
thony Dittmar, M. j. Curtis, George
Odbert, c. Kellogg, Amariah Johnson,
u. c. Billingsley, Joseph F. Woods, r.
B. Curtis, E. j. Carragher and n. Will
cox composed the jury.
J. Frank Brown acted as special coun-
sci and Elwood Bruner and j. c. March
were attorneys for Johnson and Troi
respectively
Mr. Brown stated the case from his
point of view, going back to the begin
ming of the trouble between Troi and
Shreeves some months ago. Attorney
Bruner interrupted him, saying that
this was the trial of the defendants for
battery and not the civil matters and
the action of ejectment commenced by
Troi against Shreeves. He therefore OBJ
jected to any statement or evidence
irrelevant to the case at issue being
brought before the jury.
Mr. Brown insisted that the matter
was relevant as showing the malicious
animus of the defendant johnson, and
after some argument the court deciu-
ed that the objections might be offered
when testimony was introduced.
After the statement of Mr.. Brown
was concluded Mr.. Bruner said that on
the statement of the former, which he
designated as a fairy tale, he would
ask the court to instruct the jury that
the case should be dismissed, the Of
Tense charged having been committed,
if at all, in Lee Township, while the
complaint charges that it was COM
mitted in the city of Sacramento.
Mr. Brown claimed that any offense
committed in the county came under
the Jurisdiction of this court.
The court said that the jurisdiction
Of Justices Courts is limited and as the
complaint specified that the acts alleged
took place in the city of Sacramento,
while it is admitted by counsel that
they took place in Lee Township, ne
did not see how he could avoid instruct
ing the jury as requested.
Mr. Brown, after an examination OF
authorities, agreed that the defect was
fatal and the court instructed the jury
that it should return a verdict OF not
guilty on account of the variance be-
tween the facts and the complaint,
which was done.
