The Ebony Epps.

The domestic troubles of the ebony
Epps family were aired. as they should
be frequently. in Justice Hayford's
court this morning. George w. Epps
was caught in Cheyenne a few days ago
and brought back here to answer a
charge of assault to kill. He thrust a
knife through one of Mrs. Epps' arms.
1t has been feared that the woman
would not testify against him, but she
was induced to say enough on the wit
ness stand this morning to almost in
sure Epps' conviction in the district
court. At any rate it was enough to
justify him being bound over for trial.
Epps confessed to having cut the
woman, but he seemed t think he was
justified. and that to thrust a knife in
to her was quite the proper thing for
the maintenance of domestic discipline.
She wouldn't keep her place. he ex-
planned this morning; and besides she
fiirted with other men, a thing no self
respecting gentleman of any color can
tolerate, of course. The fact that Epps
and the woman are not married Is on
ly a collateral circumstance and, &C.
cording to the colored code, has moth
ing to do with the case. q

HOW MONTANA WAS NAMED

1t is not always easy TO name baby,
and to name State or Territory is
obviously a serious matter. The late
General J. w. Denver. for whom the
chief city Of Colorado is called, always
insisted that he gave the name to MoL-
tana.
General Denver was intimate with
Stephen A. Douglas" writes F. NJ.
Clevenger, who was formerly the Gen
erals confidential clerk. AT one OF
their meetings, as he told the story
Douglas brought out map Of the West
saying that he intended to introduce
bill to form some new Territories
and wanted Denver TO suggest appro-
pirate names.
Colorado was the first one men,
toned. I have already applied that ia
this one said Douglas, pointing on TIE
map to what Is now the State OF Colo

nOuHtdlHs.
"Denver's life in the West and his
service in the Mexican war had mad,
him familiar with many Spanish
words, and he remarked, Why not cal

What does II mean?'
Denver replied that II mean

The bill did not pass at that time
