would do well to remember.

fully arrived, and we presume is an

tage As they think of the homes
they have left in the Fast, they will
remember those evening gatherings of
young friends, that they used to en
joy so well, and wish they could step
into them occasionally this winter.
But as they cano-t do this, where can
they go to find congenial companion
ship and a chance for self culture?
This is a one- tion that is not answer
ed satisfactorily with the facilities at
present afforded by our city. And in
th.e absence of other facilities, young
men should not neglect to supply
themselves with good reading, fortius
1 hfy can easily do and thereby secure
a ast amount of valuable instruction
which will be of great benefit, to them

Dakota Court*.
The First district embraces the
Black Hills counties, the court sitting
at Deadwood. the Second district, sub
stantially all the country south of the
forty-sixth parallel, and east of the
Missouri, the court sitting at Yank
ton the Third district consists of all
of North Dakota, with Fargo as the
place for holding court. Although a
new district was created by congress
a f,)w years ago, the entire Territory
is still divided into these three dis
tricts for United States cases. Tho
.Judges are appointed by the President
and paid by the general government,
All offenses against the United
states, such as making or passing
counterfeit money, fraud in tlie pro
ouremeiit of land, robbing the mails,
or crimes committed on the Indian I
reservation, are tried before th»se
United States district court
One of the judges, of eo irc. lives
in each of these districts and, ad
dition to his duties as judge of the
United States district court, he holds
regular terms of court in each county
of his district, and these courts are
called district court s for such and such
I a county. They have jurisdiction ov
I er all matters that do not come before
S the United States court, except such
matters as come regularly before the
probate judges, who arc the only other
judges in the territory.
As the Territory doveloped. tiij
county court business lava me so exten
sive that one jud^e could not possibly
I make the circuit of a section of coun
try as large as the Mate of Ohio. Jip
plication was therefore made, to con
gress for a new district, and a bill was
passed making the Fourth district out I
of the eastern portion
OL
the ^ecoud.
As congress refused to make the
Fourth district a United States court,
it has jurisdiction over county matters
only, ami the second district still em-)
braces all of sooth-east Dakota fori
United States purpose
Thus it will appear that while the
Chief Justice is judge U»r allot South- I
east Dakota tor United Mates cases. I
his jurisdiction does nor extend over I
the eastern portion of i:i .dstiicf lor
ists of all four of the judges, all of
whom sit on every case, it, therefore
takes the cuncunvnee of three bulges
to reverse a deci :••.,• a. -, -houid

would then be a tie, and the decision

WILn®f,
The past week has been more than
i r» i inarily busy in legal circles. The
first case was that of Mattice^ A.
Stanton vs. Win. Grit/mocker. The
verdict was S'-f.0i damages and costs
in favor of defendant jury trial. The
second case was that of Martin Miek
elson vs. Ilelnier and Xanearrow
complaint, setting prairie on lire, ami
thereby burning complainant's hay.
Verdict of jury no cause of action.
A
number of cases against Win
Oritzmoeker have been compromised.
Mr. Drawes, father-in-law to Mr.
GriUmocker is here, and will take
charge ol' the saloon. It is to be hop
ed that Mr. Gritznioeker will resume
the harness business, as there is great
need of that branch of business in
this locality, and we see no good rea
son why that business should not pay
in this community. It mighi not be
very lucrative 'u-t now but the lime
is not lar distant when ii w li pay
well.
Christmas goods in abundance have
been received by our merchants and
preparations for the holidays are being
pushed with a vim That's right
