Counting old soldiers, who could
register without appearing in per-
son, the total registration at the
various points designated by the
government in the Rosebud land
drawing is 100000 persons. AS
there are only 1900 quarter sections
it will readily be seen that no in
dividual stands very great show
of winning out. There is no charge
for the registration, but the appli-
can't must at the time of making
entry for the land pay fee of $14
for registration and in addition
81 an acre for the land embraced in
the tract specified, whether it be 40
or 100 acres, the greatest amount
any one person may acquire. Reg
istration will close on Thursday of
this week, the 2Sth, and then the
drawing of the lands will begin.
The lucky ones must then make en-
try of the land they have selected
one hundred on the 9Th of August,
and the same number each day fol-
lowing. At the end of two years,
three years, four years, or within
six months after the expiration of
five years from the date of making
entry, the claimant must pay rs
cents an acre for the land embraced
in the entry. However, at any
time after fourteen months of con-
tinuous residence and cultivation
the person making the entry may
make a Communication proof upon
payment of the balance of the pur-
chase price for the land then re-
naming unpaid and receive title
thereto. Thus the settler can Sc
cure title for little more than SO
an acre. The cultivation will add
to the value of the land which it is
predicted will rise in price to from
$40 to $35 an acre, and perhaps
more il they are near townsites.

THE POWERS CASE RE-
NERSED.

On Tuesday last the long eX-
pected decision in the case OF
Caleb Powers (accused of the
assassination of VIM. Goebel, and
sentenced to death), was handed
down. Judge Barker wrote the
main opinion il the case, and re-
versed the decision of the Scott
Circuit Court, Judge J. +. Rob
bins, special Judge, presiding.
The reversal is based on three
principal grounds, as follows:
First-The court refused to give
the defendant time in which to
discover and file additional
grounds for new trial.
Second-Because the sentence
was pronounced on the same day
the verdict was returned.
Third-Because of the remarks
of an attorney representing the
Commonwealth.
The point of error was made by
Tom Campbell in argument when
he said Howard was not hung,
but eleven of the twelve jurors
who tried him were in favor of
hanging him and one was for life
imprisonment, and the eleven mad
to come to one. "
1--WE are of opinion, " the court
saws, THAT under all the circum-
stances of this case the court erred
in not sustaining the motion in
regard to this statement of coun-
sci. That is, to exclude it from
the jury.
There was not, and could not
have been, legally any evidence
in the case warranting the obnoX-
ious statements; it was ii gratui-
tous declaration without lawful
foundation, in substance and
effect conveying incompetent evil
dence to the jury

No statement which counsel
could lave made was more certain
Nv fraught with danger to the ac-
cused or which was more likely to
arouse passion or prejudice in the
minds of the jurors than that
under consideration. "
There were four opinions filed.
The main opinion, as said above
(and separate opinion), were
written by Judge Barker, and con-
Cured in by Judges Settle, O'Rear
and Burnam.
Judge O'Rear filed a separate
opinion concurred in by Chief
Justice Burnam.
Judge Paynter filed n dissenting
opinion, which was concurred in
by Judges Hobson and Num-.
Judges Barker, O'Rear and Bur-
nam hold that there is Federal
question involved as to the man
ner of the selection of the juries
