COURT IN FERGUS COUNTY.

County Attorney Johnston R~eturns-The
Calder Murder Trial.
County Attorney W. M. Johnston re-
turned home last night from a trip 10
Lewi>town, where he attended district
oourt for Fergus county for a week.
Speaking Of the Calder brothers and
Fisher murder trial. which commenced
yesterday, Mr.. Johnston says the coun-
ty attorney of Fergus county is con-
WINGED he can secure a conviction. It
is probable that the younger Calder
will turn states evidence and receive a
%senteuce for manslaughter. An effort
is being made by Fishers attorney to
have his trial postponed until the next
term, being unable to secure important
witnesses in the defendants favor.
The crime with which these young
men are charged was one of the foulest
and most shocking that ever blackened
Montana's history. It is that of hav-
ing murdered Farquhar McRae, the
S~cotchman, who vas killed on his
range in the vicinity of the Musselshell
and his remains burned and thrown in
the river. his bunch of sheep then be-
ing stolen. The murderers were cap
tured while IN their way to market to
sell the sheep. Attorney General
Nolan is assisting the county attorney
in the prosecution.

Advices from Cuba received by Senior
Quesada in Washington, which he re-
CARDS as trustworthy, are to the effect
that the Cuban assembly will dissolve
before the present week ends, probably
on Saturday. Mr.. Quesada regards this
as a most satisfactory outcome, as the
dissolution is brought about voluntarily
and without agitation, which enforced
action would have caused. It will clear
the way, in his Judgment, to the pacific
adjustment of the affairs of Cuba.

Do"" I" W.T.. mtNtnVs
Hugh Young Milling was born
November 6, 1856, in Fairfield
county, S. &. He was deputy
sheriff Of that county twelve
years and ther sheriff for four
years. He was a member of the
Gordon Light Infantry, member
of the band, a prominent Mason
while in Winnsboro. He was in
the hotel business in Blackstock
for two years. He then came to
Lancaster about five years ago
and has been one of our we'll
known citizens ever since. He
was married November 12, 1888
to Miss Maggie Mackorell, daugh-
ter of Mr.. j. G. Mackorell, of
Blackstock. He leaves a wife and
four children, three girls and one
boy. In his official life he was re-
markable for the kindness and
courtesy with which he trea ted
all classes of people, both white
and black, and was said to be one
of the best officers in the State.
For some time he had been in
very poor health. No remedy
used was Of much value to him.
He died on last Sunday morning,
May 7, 1899, about eleven
o'clock.
The funeral services were held
yesterday in the Presbyterian
church and conducted by Rev.
Chalmers Fraser. He was then
buried in the new cemetery by
the Masons in accordance with
their rites and ceremonies. He
was good husband, father,
neighbor, friend; and was so
grateful and thankful for any
kindness done him that by his
own humbleness he could humble
Others and remind one of the
saying of the Great Augustine {:
81 humble myself to the humble"
"He that humbleth himself shall
be exalted' is the teaching of the
Master. May we not fondly hope
that ere this he has been exalted
by the Master in that city where
there is no sorrow, nor pain, nor
death, but where all is light, and
JOY, and happiness
He loved to read the Book
which tells of the many mansions
and now faith is turned into right
and hope is swallowed in glad
fruition. We shall not soon for
