Guilty Of Poisoning Cattle.

Colome.-Erpressing a desire to
plead guilty to the charge of having
poisoned a number of cattle belonging
to Freeland Harder, a n"eighboring
ho~mesteader, Tony Miller, residing on
q Trip county homestead, appeared
before Judge Williamson of the state
circuit court, for sentence. Judge
Williamson imposed a fine of 5000 and
sentenced Miller TO a term of six
months in Jail. AS Miller has made a
settlement with Harder for the ami
mails which died, and because OF his
previous good reputation, Judge Will
hanson suspended the Jail portion of
the sentence pending good behavior
on the part of the defendant. 1t is
said the trouble between the two
homesteaders was the outgrowth of a
love affair, they being rivals for the
affections of a young woman residing
in the neighborhood of their farms.

X. Riggs went to Enterprise and other
places TO secure more evidence against
the man who have perpetrated one
of the worst crimes in the annals Of
Marion county.
Shoes were taken along and meas
urements of tracks will be made by
The officers. It is also expected that
when they return they will be in pos
session of more literature that will
throw light on some Of the workings
O! the society.
Every way the officers seen to turn
there is a new phase to the case and
as the inquiry into the case develops
there are new things unfolded.
The inquest was to have started this
morning but an adjournment was
taken until 1880 this afternoon and
at that time an adjournment was
taken subject to the call Of Coroner
Lloyd.
1t is likely that when the officers
return tonight that there will be suftf.
clent development in the case SO that
there may be nc more delay in the
inquest.
There will be further translattons
OF letters made and the translation
ct the bylaws Of the Organization will
be finished. The book contains about
70 pages and III the way that It is
printed considerable time is required
to make the translations. However,
much Roadway has been made in this
part Of the work and it is the inten:

Different stories are still afioat but
these are being sifted and the entire
