BLAND NOT GUILTY.
Trouble Between Colored People Aired
In Court.

John Bland was tried before Judge
C. B. Diehl In tho criminal division OF
the city court this morning, on a charge
of assault and battery. alleged to have
been committed upon the person OF
Matthew Edwards, another colored
man. Both are residents or Franklin
avenue. and many colored people OF
that thoroughfare were III court as
witnesses. Edwards and his wife and a
Mrs. johnson, who exhibited a blue
lump under her black eye. testified that
Bland struck Edwards a vicious blow
in the latter's house, while fight was
In progress between Mrs. johnson and
Mrs, Lucy Williams. 1t was claimed
that Edwards was knocked down and
remained unconscious for some time
as a result OF the blow.
Bland and his witnesses, Mrs II. III,
yoss. Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Will
liams. swore under oath that the de-
PENDANT was not near and did not
strike Edwards. Mrs. Williams testi.
fed that Mrs, johnson, assisted by Ed.
wards. attempted to drag her into Ed
wards house, and that she struck Ed.
wards In self-defense.
AS the testimony was very conflict
ing, with a doubt In favor of Bland. HI
was adjudged to be not guilty and was
discharged. There Is something really
funny going on nearly all the time in q
courtroom when colored witnesses are
on the stand, and today was no excep
ton to the rule. Some or the answer
given today to questions of Assistant
city Attorney DAILY were amusing II
the extreme, especially retorts OF Mrs
Williams. a witness for the defense
and who took the blame Of the whole
| affair upon herself.

ARGUMENTS ARE
STILL GOING ON
Hearing Of Contention in the
Coal Land
Cases.
THE GOVERNMENTS POSITION
Was Set Forth In United States Court
BY Attorney Critcl,low aud Dis
tries Attorney Booth.

In his argument yesterday afternoon
IN the coal land cases before the U. ;.
count. ATTY. Cr1tchlow continued In
REPUTATION OF contention made by the
defense that the states enabling act
made no reservation OF mineral lands.
and remarked that II all mineral land
were left liable to state selection, Utan
has missed a good thing. Counsel gave
considerable time to substantiate the
governments contention that outcrop-
pings on the lands involved were sur
fcient proof of their being coal lands.
No geological knowledge Is necessary
to determine whether a land Is coal
land or not. Mr.. Critchlow also held
that the court had jurisdiction as the
action is purely local, the lands being
located In this state. Dist. Atty.
Booth followed Mr.. Criichlow In show
ing that the government has the righ'
TO sue In this court for cancellation
OF patents wrongfully obtained. Mr
Waldron followed In rebuttal, until adj
journment today.
Counsel for the defense occupied the
morning with closing argument. lie
holds that the government must do one
of two things, viz, bring suit IN rem,
az affecting the properly IN question:, ~
which there is suit FOR possession OF the
coal lands themselves and under which
action the Utah court has jurisdictions
or, suit en- personem, as against the
parties themselves which should be
done IN the state where the company
Il Incorporated. Counsel held that the
United States has really nothing TO do
with the case. The lands had been
transferred to Utah. and II Is Titan
that is Interested and under which ac-
ton, II any, Is TO be brought.
Judge Waldron has made an excel
lent Impression here, and has present.
ed his case with marked ability. lie
was formerly district attorney at Pu-
eblo. where he made such reputation
as prosecutor that 1t has been re-
marked when criminals found who II
was prosecuting them, they pleaded
guilty at once. Judge Waldron re-
moved to Denver In 1896, and has es-
tablished strong reputation there
The government has Is days In which
TO file an answering brief, and then
the court has 10 days In which TO pre-
pare an opinion. owing TO some Of the
interloeutories OF the court, there Is
belief IN the federal building that tht
decision will favor the government

RaIIy m Afternoon.

New York, Jan. l5.--The condition of Marshall Field showed marked change early tonight. The rally which he ex- perienced between 2 and o'clock Tn the afternoon continued five hours, af- ter 1t began. and so noticeable had MT. Field improved at the end of this period that those watching at his bedside pe- gar to hope for recovery.
 One of his three physicians who ear Her in the day had announced to those at MT. Fields bedside that practically all hope of saving his life must be abandoned, said tonight that he be- lieved MT. Field had a chance or re- covery. During the rally MT. Field was perfectly conscious, it was stated by those who had been with him and was better than he had been at any time during the preceding twenty-four hours.
 During the early part of the day the patients condition was considered so grave that a forecast of the weather conditions tonight and tomorrow was asked for by his physicians in the hope that change in the exceeding damp ness of the last two days would be an element in his favor. His strength was very low, but he seemed to indicate a determination to fight the disease 10 the very last.
 Although the area of congestion was still confined to one lung early today, the long strain had made great in- roads upon Mr. Fields strength. and heart stimulants were administered.
