colFAx COUNTY covnT.
Court at Ration Concluded Its Work
Last Friday.

The criminal session of the district
court at Colfax county, which has
been going on at Ration for a couple
of weeks. concluded its business yes
terday afternoon and Chief Justice
Mills. as well as the Las Vegas at
torneys employed there, have returned
to the city. April 20 the court will re-
for the hearing of a number
of civil cases, say the Optic.
That there was a great deal doing
will be seer from the fact that District
Attorney Leahy secured ten convic-
tions. Robert Love was found mot
guilty of murder, and in two impor-
tant cases the jury "hung." Nine pris-
oners, sentenced by the chief justice,
passed through the city on No. l this
afternoon, on their way to the pen.
The most interesting case was that
of the Territory VS.. Robert Love. At
torney A. A. Jones, who defended him,
has been receiving many compliments
upon his skillful handling of the case,
&c the jury, which is considered one of
the ablest ever delivered in the county.
At will be remembered that in 1901,
Love was awakened from his slumbers
on Halloween to find some young men
trundeling away one of his o~uthouses.
He seized a shot gun and followed
them. shooting and killing Bert Par
sons. The defense claimed the shoot
ing was accidental, that Love had in
tended only to scare the boys. At the
last term there was a hung" jury.
The territory was assisted by Capt. l..
c. Fort. In the cases against +. d.
Lenten, charged with murder and
against Frank Caution, charged with
selling liquor to minors, there were
eleven very stubborn men on the jury
who insisted on the guilt of the &C.
cused, and succeeded in defeating the
righteous intentions of one virtuous
individual. William pitzer, the rail
road man, who shot the city marshal
of Ration a few weeks ago., was con
victed and sentenced to serve three
and one-half years. Stewart and
Sweeney, young men who had been
granted judicial clemency before, were
found guilty of burglary and will do
time for three years. F. Fischer will
wear convict garb for eighteen months
and George Carter for three years, for
breaking into a bonded car.
The judge delivered a homily upon
the evil practice of carrying fire arms.
Several men who were up on this
charge, thereupon thought it the wise
thing to plead guilty. They were fined
500 apiece and costs.
