At the opening It was discovered that no gas could ba obtained aud in consequence quence about ono hundred and fifty tallow candles \voro pressed Into sorvlco. The meeting formally assembled with about two hundred and llfty present at 8 o'clock , nnd remained in session until after midnight. At the opening It was ovldont that considerAble - Able dissension existedwhich was attributed to the fact that Captain O. J. Smith , the ox- presiding ofllccr , was to bo tried on three distinct charges of n high sounding cliarno- tcr , viz : Conduct unbecoming nn ofllccrund colonist , Intentional misrepresentation and falsehood , and obtaining money under fnlso pretenses , nnd Impersonating nn ofllcor of the Omaha colony nt Council Bluffs Sunday , March 81. The licarlnc of thocaso wns the principal part ot the mooting , asldo from the selection of J. 13. Smith ns chairman. Before entering di rectly upon the case the colony resolved It- pelf into a tribunal nnd Attorney McClnna * ban was appointed rcforco. M. L. Knufmnn and J. T , Morlarty were chosen to represent the prosecution and Attorney Coder the de fense. Then the tedious work began. Kauf man wns put upon the stand nnd testilled that Smith represented himself to bo n member - bor of the Consolidated Oklahoma colony of Wichita , Knu. , of which ho was not. As to misrepresentation and fraud ho testified that Smith went to Blair to organize cole nists. That upon his return ho stated that tie had obtained fifteen mem bers , but when ho made his report it only showed that three members wcro credited with the Initiation fee of $3 each. Asto'lho conduct unbecoming nn of ficer , ho questioned Smith's voracity. Aa to personating an onicer , ho testified that after Smith tendered his resignation ( Saturday night ) as proslilent of the colony , ho wont the following Sunday to Council Bluffs as an ofllccr of the Omaha Institution. C. 1C. Barnes , T. II. Robinson , W. P. O'Neill nnd Chairman West nlso tcstlllod to the charges , but none could offer any tanglblo evidence. At its conclusion the defcnso was put upon the stand nnd produced ilgnrcs that ac counted for every dollar ho had handled ; produced evidence rebutting the charges , botii verbal anct manu script , and It was thought that the verdict would bo in his favor , but when put to a ballot vote the result wns forty for guilty and thirty not guilty. So far wns this from the testimony that the prosecuting attorney , Morinrlty , got up and inovod a re consideration , but Inasmuch as ho had voted "not guilty" ho xvas ruled out of ordor. Then It wus that a representative of the Western Woman arose in the midst , nnd in a clear aud feminine voice said : "Mr. Chair man 1 I voted 'guilty , ' but I believe I did wrong , nnd move a reconsideration. " This motion prevailed , nnd after being carried further action was postponed until Wondos- day night , at which place an open mass meet ing will bo hold , The opinion is that it is n frcczcout game all around. A largo number of now names wcro added to the rolls last night. CHAMPION SI1AHPSHOOTI3KS. The Army Acknowledges Slicin to Bo in thin Department. Major Henry B.

General Brooke presented the trophy in a low well chosen words. After the presentation the captain received the congratulations of tlio other oflleers present. The shield is ouo of the finest of the kind ever gotten un in this country.

It is composed entirely of sharp shooters , its individual HRUI-O of merit being 200 , its skirmish figure being 81.75 and the general fipuro of merit 1-10.87. The trophy hangs from the conventional tri-colored ribbon , the crowning pieces an In verted hemisphere of gold , beneath which is a flattened band of gold , on which in blue enamel are the latin words ' "Sonipor Para- tus , " always ready.

Then there nro two medals on which are the iinns of the state of Nevada between whicn runs a Roman sword. Extending urouud the lower half of the tro phy uro sprays of laurel which nro Beauti fully wrought.

General Cowln stated that ho presumed this proceeding was perfectly right nnd proper , that ho made no objections to the motion but wished to have- his exceptions re corded. His wish was granted. Then he re verted to the question of u jury , nnd asked the court to issue an order fora special vcniro bcforo the trial commences. To this Mahoney interposed nn objection , on the ground that such an order under the law could not bo issued until the regular panel had been exhausted. "No. wo cannot , " Interjected Judge Groff , "anticlimto tnat tno regular panel will bo ex hausted. ' " This developed the fact that Miss Block- lor's attorneys do not propose to be caught by any unexpected effort on the part of their opponents to run in a lot of ringers on them , it was finally agreed tnnt the list for a special venire shall ba made out and submitted for their approval before the subpoenas are issued.

The throng will bo compelled to confine itself to the scats and space at the rear of the bar. Miss Bicchlor Is feeling quite nervous , but in good spirits and is anxious for the ordeal to commence. After the first excitement and fright shall have passed , it is believed she will settle down to n composed condition and go through the seige in good shape. Biographical sketches of the judge and lawyers are in demand , also tholr pictures , and the deputy sheriffs nro preparing themselves solves to do some lively riding. The prosecuting attorney stated last night that no special venireof jurors would bo drawn until the reeulnr panel was exhausted. Drs.

The sheriff and his deputies and court bailiffs were busy last night arranging seats for the spectators who arc supposed to wit ness the trial. The seats are so arranged that -100 people can bo accommodated out side of the railing. The attaches of the criminal departinct of the court are making preparations for a big crowd. Other Cases.

The tbreo above mentioned defendants in the suit are sons of Ainscow's wife , and it now ap pears that there la a family row over the awncrship of the property in question , liuchcl Amscow was Huchcl Eayers before she married the plaintiff. She was a dress maker. During the entire year of 1S70 , she represented to her husband , he now claims , that she was embarrassed in business and had to have money to meet her indebtedness , Prom time to time Aniscow gave her about $1,000 , thinking she was going to pay the in- dobtcno&s. Afterwards bo ascertained that his wlfo used the money for ether purposes. The facts wore that she was not In any man ner Indebted In her business beyond her then present means to meet all liabilities. The woman used the money for tuo purchase of the two lots. She finally disclosed to her busband that the property had boon bought , but told him .sho had purchased it with her own earnings and from mouoy arising from her own ostate. She wont further , and in duced Aniscow to erect a dwelling house on the lots , in order that they could liuVo n home. Ho did so. The property was bought at h ! expense and ho paid for the building of the house. Ho hau an idea that the premises belonged to him , but shortly after the house was built the wife transferred the premises to her sons by a former marriage. These transac tions wcro of course done without the knowledge of AInscow. Ho did not learn of it until his wife died , which death took place last February. Now ho claims that her sons wantrto take possession of Iho property ana deprive him of his Own home , ono which ho paid for. This injunction has not yet been granted.
