D., Dec. 24.—(Spe- )—The term of court just concluded at Oacoma by Judge Frank B. Smith has been one of the most important ever held in the cattle coiintry west of the Miesourl river. Its Importance does not rest so much upon the number of cases tried, but rather in the work of the grand jury, which Is sald to have returned indictments almost by the wholesale against stockmen upon the charge of cattle rustling, and many of the de- fendants are sald to be pumbered among the prominent cattle operators The grand jury is yet In session, although Judge Smith has adjourned court to Feb- ruary 11, when he expects to hear the un- tried cases of the present term, as well a those presonted by the grand jury. Three cattle cases were tried at the term just concluded, verdicts of guilty being returned in two of the cases, while in the other the jury brought in a verdiet of acquittal. Peter Bergland was given a term of three years upon o charge of having killed and disposed of a steer belonging to Charles Jewell, while Gilbert Dock was given thirty days and fined $30 upon a similar charge. The case of acquittal was that of Joe Black- bird, by long odds the most ‘important of the term™ Blackbird was charged with being a'party to the rustling and rebrand- ing of about 125 head of cattle. The evi- dence showed that the stock was rebranded on land belonging to Blackbird, and that the original brands on the stock indicated that the bunch was gathered from the herds of from sixteen to cighteen stockmen, but although the charge of the court to the jury wae plainly agalnst the defendant the jury was of the opiniorr that the evidence was not sufficiently strong as to the con- nection of Blackbird with the transaction NEW MACHINERY IS PLACED Homestuke Milling and Mining Com- pany Makes Extensive Im- provements on LEAD, §.

This paper says Germany bows to the Monroe doctrine and alludes to the expression of the late Prince Bis- makck that the Monroe doctrine [ plece of impudence. “Impudence” Succeeds. This utterance of the late German states- man, which is doubtiess authentic, has just been published for the first time by the Hambur, Nachtrichten, Bismarck's household organ.
