CouRsEY ON PHILIPPINES.
Gave Lecture OH the Islands at thu
Court House Saturday Even
ing to Far House.

Notwithstanding :. the fact that
there were three or four other enter
tainments in the city Saturday even
ing there was very fair ,audier}ce at
the court house to hear Capt. O.
w. Coursey's lecture on the Philip
pines and the Filipinos. The lecture
was given under the auspices of Co.
d, of which Mr.. Couresy.,is captain,
the suggestion and invitation coming
from the company. Captain Coursey
was somewhat hoarse and fatigued
from the fact that the day previous
he delivered the same lecture three
times to large audiences in the
school houses Of Lisbon and Prosper
townships. Nevertheless he was equal
to the demands of the occasion and
his delivery was all that could be
desired, holding closely the attention
of the audience during the hour and
a half that he spoke.
Captain Coursey was member OF
the South Dakota regiment that
went to the Philippines during the
war and in opening his lecture he
followed the couse of the regiment
on its journey from San Francisco
half way round the globe to Manila,
in which he presented some of the
hardships and the pleasures that
come to soldier in the service Of
Uncle Sam. That the speaker was
a very keen observer during his
stay in the Philippines was evi-
dent from the fact that he gave a
splendid narration Of events that
occurred over there. He gave a good
description Of Manila and the customs
of the people, told of the conditions
of the various classes that live in and
around the town, and referred to
the prisons and dungeons in the city.
During his stay there he was at one
time in charge of dungeon which
contained many of the subjects in
that country.
The speaker gave a fine presenta-
iton of the habits of the people in

A MEMORIAL SERVICE.
w. c. II. U. Ladies Held Willard
Memorial at Presbyterian
Church unday Evening.

l.r T. t. D.. > + ID i !,
The Presbyterian church was filled
to its utmost capacity Sunday even
ing, the occasion being the Willard
memorial service as given by the w.
10. z. U. It is the custom OF the
society to hold a memorial for Miss
Willard, who in life did so much for
the upbuilding Of the union all over
the country. The service was in
charge of Mrs. Flora Wilson and was
opened with a hymn after which Mrs.
Wilson read the Crusade Psalm. Spec
ial papers were prepared with the late
lamented president as the subject
for all discussion. Miss Fannie Nc
Cormick read an interesting paper on
Miss Willard as "a student and
Professor Hoff referred to her abili-
ties as a teacher. Miss Willard as an
organizer was the subject of Mrs.
Flora Wilson'S paper and Mrs. Ida
Reeves gave splendid account. of
what the W. G. T. q. had accom-
plished. Mrs. Josephine Vermilyea
gave an impromptu address on Where
the Dollars Have Gone, which had to
do with the money that is subscribed
every year for the union and the
manner in which it is expended.
Mrs. Hager was unable TO give her
address on the Personal Recollections
of Miss Willard. The program was
interspersed with music by the choir
and solos by Miss Myrtle Lee and Mr..
Fred Kratz. The services were very
impressive and aihigh tribute was
paid to the,life and character of the
late Miss Willard. An opportunity
was given for ladies to join tile union
who were not;members and quite a
few ayailed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to identify themselves with the
work. .i

COURT HAS ADJOURNED.
Special Term OF Court at Oacoma
Adjourned After Two Weeks
and no Convictions.

. . = Z. =. +. H. H.
T Court has been in session at spec
ial term at Oacoma in Lyman .coun-
ty for the past two weeks, and ad-
journment was taken Thursday even
ing without securing the conviction
of any of the cattle rustlers in that
country.
There were sixteen criminal cases
that had to do with cattle stealing
on the. reservation that were ready
for trial and one murder case. Dur
ing the session four Of the cattle
cases were tried and in each in.
stance the jury either acquitted the
prisoner Or disagreed, so that not
one conviction resulted. The muir
der case was that Of young man
who shot his employer over the dis
agreement of wages. On this the jury
disagreed. Ia. ..e
A determined fight is being put
up by the attorneys of the cattle
rustlers to relieve them, of being
convicted. Geo. Harden, Of Platte,
the attorney for the Nelson's, has COM
menced proceedings before the. SUI
preme court looking to securing their
release from the meshes of the law.
He has secured a. writ of habeas cor
pus from the supreme court in the
Nelson case; one of the men indicted
for cattle rustling. The ground he
assumed for asking for the writ was
that the Indictment against Nelson
was found at a special term of court
and not at the regular term, which is
claimed to be in oppositionto the
constitutional provisions, in that a
certain time is set apart for holding
a term Of court in Lyman county
when all business of the court must
be transacted. The case will be
argued before the supreme court on
March i'll. H.. G. Preston, of this
city, will represent Lyman county in
the controversy.
There, is considerable Importance
in the case, it Harden wins in. the
action commenced. In case he gets
the decision it will mean that all Of
the indictments found at the special
term Of court will be disposed Of and
the cattle rustlsers now under arrest
by reason Of such indictments will
be given their liberty.

for some time. Arriving at the Sully
ranch they found itdeserted, evident
ly Tearing that the officers would be
after them. Mr.. Swindler said they
took up the trail and for five days
they were in pursuit Of the cattle
thieves. They got track Of the men
several times but they were so far
ahead OF the pursuers that practically
it was impossible to capture them
in friendly country. Mr.. Swindler
and Foster gave up the chase Satur-
day and the Dawson county sheriff
came home.

FOUR YEARS, SIX MONTHS.
Such is the Sentence That Fred
Stevens Gets in His Plankin-
ton Bank Case.

Circuit court was in session Monday
afternoon, it being the, day set by
Judge Smith for imposing sentence
on Fred L. Stevens. There were
very few in the court room when
Judge Smith ordered Sheriff Swind-
Ter to open court. There was no
formality INDUCED in by the court
in passing sentence, but he expressed
his regret of having to impose the
sentence. Stevens was accompanied
by his attorney, Judge Fellows, in
court. The defendant did not appear
to be much disturbed in anticipation
of what was to follow, and he looked
cool and collected when he stood
before the bar of justice to receive
his sentence.
Ina low voice Judge Smith in
formed the defendant that he was
to- be confined four years and six
months in the penitentiary. s
Judge / Fellows Immediately in
formed the court that he had Sc
cured a writ of error from the
supreme court, and objected to the
passing of sentence. The court over
ruled the objection. The writ Of er-
ror places. a stay, on the execution of
the sentence until the case is placed
before the supreme court which will
pass on the possibility of granting a
new trial to Stevens. Until such
action is taken by the supreme
court Judge Smith informed the de,
fendant that shej would be released
on bond of $1,000. Judge Fellows
had the bond ready for approval by
the states attorney of Aurora county
and it was practically accepted.
/. Judge Fellows will now appeal the
case to the supreme court and it will
likely be heard at the April term.
Until that time Stevens will be at
liberty and he has one more possible
chance of escaping the penitentiary.

twenty years past, has been COM
PEELED to leave the farm for while at
last, owing to illhealth. A couple of
weeks ago he was to st. Paul to con-
suit a specialist. His disease is
stomach trouble. In the fall OF 1882
the editor of the SHEAF and Mr..
Engelsrud worked side by side on
said farm during threshing. He has
stuck to the farm and by this time,
we suppose, has earned almost
money enough to buy it.
