sion, Hon. W. II. Munger, presidiug,
and from the number of lawyers

considerable importance. Having
nothing special to do, wo wandered
into tho court room, found the
judge and counsel trying the case of
M. E. Smith, A. J. Crittenden, plain
tiffs, vs G. W. Steele and others as
defendants. Messrs. Robherts and
Steele of David City, and Mr. Hart,

Garfield represented tho defendants.
Mr. Wakcly, short-hand reporter
was present, aud took down tho evi

it has ever fallen to our lot to hear.

numerous authorities to support his
side of the case. Mr. Garfield closed
the case for defendants with a short,
but strong, and pointed argument.
"Mr. Garfield "is noted as the "cool-
headed champion of tho David City
bar," and a more kind hearted and
accommodating gentleman can not
be fonnd beneath the broad canopy
of heaven. The uext case called was
Smith and Crittenden plaintiffs vs
Frank Stiner and John Stiner do
fondants. Same attorneys for plain
tiffs in this case as in the first. W.
S. Gcer and Messrs. Dean and Gar
field for defendants. In this case a
stipulation was signed by the plain
tiffs'to the effect that the suit should
bo dismissed by the plaintiffs, and
said'" stipulation should havo the
same force aud effect as though the
caso had been tried by the District
Judge, and the issue found in favor
of the defendants. The defendants
seemed to bo exceedingly woll pleas
ed with the manner in which this
case was disposed of. Beforo tho
next caso was called, we got on the
train homeward bound, and left
court, counsel and clients in their
glory. d. c.

On the strength of tho statement
of ex-Minister E. B. Washbnnie,
tho New york Times makes the
statement that Grant had not and
would not accept tho presidential
nomination, but if the convention
nominated hiiii'lie would accept the
honor, and that in -his foreign wan
derings he had never written to any
one regarding the presidency, nor
did any of his friends communicato
with him on the subject.
The abovo from tho Omaha lice,
sounds exactly 4ike Grant. If Grant
is a candidate for the next Republi
can nomination, all the Chicago Con
vention will have to do" will simply
be to declare the foregone conclu
sion. In our opinion, Graut will
never consent to scramble for the
nomination. Ho is, perhaps, not
averse to receiving the nomination
at the hands of his old friends, but
if it comes it will be as before, with
overwhelming force.
A shout time since C. G. Law
rence of Brattleboro, Vt., and his
son Frank, of Chicago, arrived al
Grand IM.md this state. The son
reported the father insane. Last
week tho old gentlemen suddenly
and mysteriously died. Strong sus
picions of foul play and some evi
dence that the old man had been
poisoned. The son has been arrest
ed and is now confined in jail await
ing his examination, which will be
held on tho 21th. The only motive
for the horrible deed was supposed
to bo the desire to obtain large life
insurance policies which the old
man held.
Seroeant Glover, company B,
second cavalry, of Ft. Keogh, Mon
tana, was last week in pursuit of a
band of Indians who had killed one
man and wounded another a short
time since on Mezpah creek. He
came up with the hand near the head
of Pumpkin creek, when quite a
skirmish ensued, resulting in the
death of two Sioux and one soldier
killed, and one wounded.
Luther B. McKinnev shot and
killed Jacob Fry at Peoria last week.
The trouble grew out of the separa
tion of McKinnev and his wife on
tho ground of his ill-treatment of
Mrs. McKinney, who after separa
tion went to live with her stepfather
Mr. Fry ; McKinney attributed his
wife's conduct to the influence of
Mr. aud Mrs. Fry. McKinney was
