District Court Matters.

Judge Armour arrived in Julesburp
Monday evening and Tuesday presided
at short session Of the district court.
The first cases called were several suits
to quiet title to mining property in
Hinsdale county. DEGREES in favor of
the plaintiffs were entered in each of
these cases. Similar suits brought by
Sedgwick county parties were dispos-
ed of in the same manner.
The case OF Sedgwick County against
j. w. Jones, appealed from the county
court, was argued by w. H. Pound, at
tOrney for the plaintiff, and E. NJ. kcl-
sey, attorney for the defendant. De-
cision was reserved by Judge Armour
until next week.
The next case called was the con-
demnation suit of Il. r. Liddle against
J. W. COnyers and Mrs. Work. The
point involved was the right of Liddle
to construct an irrigation ditch across
the land Of the defendants. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by G. A.
Allen of Denver; the plaintiff by H. E.
Monsen of Sterling. Short arguments
were made by tue attorneys, after
which Judge Armour announced that
the case would be continued until next
Monday, when a jury will be impanel-
ed to hear it.
The last case disposed of was the
State of Colorado against Joe Wise,
charged with an assault with a deadly
weapon. The defendants s attorney, +.
NJ. Kelsey, entered a plea OF nolle con-
tendre, which was accepted by the
district attorney. This plea is virtu-
ally plea Of guilty, the understand
ing being that sentence be suspended
by the court.
Court then took a recess until Mon
day, June Is, at 8 a. m.

PLAY BALI!

Lodge Pole met their Waterloo"
last Friday at the hands Of the Jules
burg umpire" and not the players as
stated in the "Grit." The Lodge Pole
boys started In TO win and could easily
have done 20, had not the umpire
closed his eyes and handed down decis-
ions which were SO rotten that they
smelled high in the heavens. We are
satisfied to give the Julesburg players
all the glory there is in quitting at
the end OF the seventh inning, when
the game was in doubt, If they will
give us a return game on the same
grounds for Fifty Dollars side, both
clubs to use the same batteries as in
former game. We don't presume the
boys will have time, but in case they
do We shall be pleased to hear from
them CHAs. MINsHELL, Captain.
The above bunch of hot air was hand
ed out last week through the columns
OF the Express, by the captain of the
Lodge Pole base ball club. The charge
that the Julesburg boys quit at the
close Of the seventh inning because
they were afraid OF defeat is too silly
to require an extended denial. 1t is
sufficient to say that the number of
innings to be played was definitely ar
ranged by the managers Of the two
teams before the game began. This
agreement was for a seven inning
game.
The charge that the umpire made
unfair decisions has absolutely no
foundation in fact. 1t is simply the
vagary of an overworked mind, super
induced by the sting of bitter defeat
No one ever made fairer decisions in q
ball game than did the Julesburg UNI
pire at the game in Chappell. II the
umpire had been inclined to steal the
game for the Julesburg club, there
would have been no necessity for his
doing so. The Julesburg club out
played the Podge Pole club at every
point in the game-no umpire on earth
could have decided differently.
AS to return game with the Lodge
Pole club for purse of fifty dollars
side: The Julesburg club stands ready
to call this bluff at any time. The on
ly condition members Of the club insist
on is that the game be played on a
good ground-whether in Chappell,
Lodge Pole or Julesburg. They re-
fuse, however, to play in the back yard
of stable, or in dumping ground for
garbage, such as they played upon in
Chappell recently.

AN OLD TREATY UNDER TEST.
French Counsuls Over French
Seamen In American Ports.

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-The United
States courts have been called upon
to determine the constitutionality of
certain provisions of the treaty be-
tween this country and France, pro-
claimed on August IL, 1853. The issue
has arisen out Of the Imprisonment
of Francois lie Boine, French sailor,
by Chief of Police Whitman, in com
pliance with the request Of French
Consul-General Henry Dallemagne,
who invoked as authority a clause
Of the treaty named which confers
exclusive jurisdiction over French
merchant vessels on French consular
officers. EX-Gov. James II. Budd, at
the request Of the Sailors union, APP
piled to Judge De Haven, in the Unit
ed States district court for a writ of
habeas corpus for lie Boine, on the
main issue that the treaty under
which he was arrested and confined,
is contrary to the constitution of the
United States. The writ was granted
and made returnable Wednesday
morning.

READY TO COMMIT MURDER.
Az Escaped Montana Convict Who
Has Vowed to XIII Under Sher-
in Morgan, of Butte.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 28,-With officers
of the state penitentiary upon his
trail, assisted by bloodhounds, Convict
Tom O'Brien, who, last Friday, made u
daring escape from the state prison,
has sent a communication to the Min
er pleading for public statement OF
his alleged crime and vowing the
death of Under-Sheriff Dave Morgan,
whose alleged perjurcd testimony the
convict declares sent him to prison
and wrecked his home.
The document received by the Min
err bears the postmark Of Anaconda.
The writer dates his communication
from a mountain in the surrounding
hills of Anaconda and says that he
wrote his story behind rock, diyid-
ing his time between his Winchester
and his pen. The communication Is a
literary freak and there is no ques-
ton as to its authenticity, as the
handwriting has been fully identified
by the warden of the penitentiary
and others acquainted with the Grim
inal.
O'Brien declares his sole object in
escaping from the prison is TO kill
Deputy Sheriff Morgan,
O'Brien was sent up for robbery IN
1901.

following statement:
"The report which has appeared in
a good many papers to the effect that
Charles Becker, who is serving a sem
tence for forgery, will be paid sal
airy, or pension, by the American
Bankers association to stop his
career in crime, is absolutely untrue.
He is now at San Quentin penitenti-
airy, California"

TALKS CONSERVATORY.
Asst slant Grand Master Lee Gives
His View of the situation.

Cleveland o., Aug. 2S.-Assistant
Grand Master Lee, of the Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen, said Wednes-
day:
ut Is true that a concerted move
ment has been inaugurated by train
men and conductors employed on the
railroads west of the Mississippi riv-
er to secure uniform rules and com
pensation. A vote of the men which
will probably result in the officers or
the two organizations being author
lied to present requests to the vari-
Gus roads for these concessions, Is
now being taken. 1t will be, how
ever, at least ninety days before the
vote has been completed. There is
absolutely no talk of strike, and
the possibility Of such a movement
is extremely remote.
