The attorney-general re^^marked that old heads could not be put on^youDK shoulders.

A force of 120 men will be required^to operate the mill, which will be driven^by a 150 horse power Corliss engine, and^will require for this season's business^ban.lines 300x100 feet, two stories high.^This primary plant a. ill be enlarged in^1M90 to sufficient capacity to handle tbe^clip of Montana, and the company will^represent capital enough to buy all the woolneeded to run the mill continuously^throughout the year. Thisis a most important industry for^Billings, making her the wool center of^Montana, besides adding materially to her^resident population. It will result in great^advantage to the wool raisers, producing^competition with representatives of eastern 1^commission houses, which will result in^the advance of tbe net price to the pro^^ducer.

DkerLot-... May 2.^[special to the^Independent.)^The present term of the^district court for this county will close^next Saturday. During the present week^nothing was done, as all the criminal cases^ready for trial have been disposed of and^the time was too short to take up any civil^cases. To-morrow and Saturday will be^devoted to hearing motions and to cleaning^up the docket as to the cases tried. Onlyone important civil case has been^tried, namely that of John I. Quigley va.^C. ^^. Birdsepe et ux , for a water-right,^which resulted in a verdict for plaintiff,^but which will be argued again Saturday^on a motion for a new trial. Thefollowing criminal cases were tried^and resulted in convictions and sentences,^viz.: Thomas ^ ret well, killing a Chinaman^at (.ranite, one year: Jesse Stuart, colored,^shooting at another colorad woman at An^^aconda, two years; Kose Bennett, killing^Frank P. (.raven at Anaconda, twelve^years; (ieorge Peters, larceny of 8280 from^the express office at Garrison, two years,^and Frank Elliott, shooting at V A. Strand^at Elliston, one year. The following-^named persons pleaded guilty to the^charges against them and were sentenced^accordingly: Thomas McOarrul and James^O'Reily, killing fish, S50 fine each; John^B. Thiry. forgery, one year: Thomas Dean,^burglary, two years; John Jones, bur^^glary, one year, and Henry Phelpa, bur^^glary, one year. Intwo cases tried by a jury there were^acquittals, namely, Maggie Flennagan.^grand larceny, and Theodore Milroy, for^drawing a deadly weapon in a threatening^manner. Intwo cases variances existed between^the proof and the indictment, and the de^^fendants were held to await the action of^the next grand jury. Thecase of Theodore Milroy for the kill^^ing of Patrick Dooley. and of George Opp,^for the killing of a Chinaman at Oranite.^were continued for the term. Elevendivorces were granted and ^still^there's more to follow. Amotion for a new trial in the case of^August Johnson for the killing of John L.^Carlson and in which a verdict of murder^in the first degree was returned will be^heard on Saturday. Also at the same^time a motion for a new trial will be heard^in the case of James Campbell, the jury^having found him guilty of an assault with^intent to murder Theodore Milroy and^fixed his punishment at five years. ItIs estimated that there are now enough^civil cases on the calendar to occupy the^attention of tbe court continuously for^three months and there is no remedy for^us until statehood is reached when we can^have more courts and judges.

Twenty-Thr. years SJearrhlng for His^Family. Denlson,Tex., special: One of the most^remarkable family reunions on record waa^narrated to-day. At the outbreak of the^civil war a colored family by the name of^Lindsey, consisting of man and wife, with^three children, a girl and two boys, were^sold into slavery at independence. Mo.^The entire family were separated. At the^close of the war the father made up his^mind t..at he would devote the balance of^his life to discover the whereabouts of his^family. For the past twenty-three years^t.e has bad that sole object in view. He hastravelled and worked, bearing the^brand of innumerable hardships, to accom^^plish his purpose. In Missouri a few weeks^ago he obtained the first clew to the where^^abouts of his son All n, who waa reported^by a white man to t^e at Paris, Tex. The^old man worked his way to Paris and there^met his son Allen. The old man waa ao^haside himself with joy that he embraced^and kissed bis son and wept like a child. ThroughAllen be learned that th other^son, named Jim. bad been a porter on the^Missouri and Kansas ra I way for a number^of years, and. that the only remaining child,^Amanda, w* married and living in she^country within five miles of Jtenison. The^old man left Parts and casue to !)^ nison.^where he met his son Jim. and made him^^self known. For a few moments Jim was^loth to believe that it was his father, from^whom he had been separated for over^twenty t.iree years. Leaving Jim, the old^man started for the country on foot where^he met his daughter. Amanda, with whom^he is spend-ng a few days. The dearest ob^^ject of all his wanderings, the wife, la jet^to be found, and tbe old man declares that^be will devote tbe remaining years of bis^life in ferreting her out t.oselpAbout Miss Chamberlain.

Chicaoo,May 2.^Coroner Hertz and a^jury to-day began an investigation Into the^cause of the death of Robert Burns, a^patient in tbe insane hospital at Jefferson^Attendants Richardson. Crogan and Pecks^who are charged with beating Burns to^death, were present Tbe dead man's^widow and her brother testified that Burns^was in good health when he waa sent to^the asylum, and that the only abrasion on^his body was on one ot his legs, which had^been injured. Tbe most damaging^testimony waa that of Charles Beck, a^reporter, who successfully played the^insanity dodge and waa admitted to the^asylum, and who was an eye-witness to^much of the brutal treatment which re^^duced Burns in ten days from a strong man^to a complete physical wreck, resulting in^his death. The story waa one of the most^revolting and heartless cruelty. Witness^detailed at great length repeated acta of^brutality which he accused the attendants^of inflicting upon the unfortunate man. He^declared the patient was not unruly, but^seemed dazed and Incapable of understand^^ing what was wanted of him.^Bee a told how, after tbeir ar^^rival at the asylum, he and^Burns were given cold baths and then left^shivering In a cold room for fifteen min-^utes. Then after an examination Burns^waa ordered to sit on a bench. He seemed^not to understand and was violently^thrown upon one. Rising in a helpless^way. Attendant Richardson kicked him^violently In the abdomen. Burns again at^^tempted to rise, when the brutality waa re^^peated, Richardson, Crogan and Pecha^each taking part in kicking and striking^the helpless lunatic In tbe side and atom-^ach and bruising bis face with^their fists. They undertook to dress^his wounded leg, jerking him about^roughly and causing him excruciating^agony, meantime continuing their Mows.^When the wounds were dressed, Crogan^picked tip ^ne of Burns' shoes aud struck^the inoffensive patient over the bead with^the heel of it, cutting a great gaah. By^this time the victim was in a balf uncon^^scious condition. That night Burns not^undressing promptly when ordered, was^kicked by Richardson in the abdomen and^knocked across the room. This was only^the record of one day'a brutality, which^was kept up until tbe man's death.^The reporter came out of the^asylum at the end of ten days. lietold how when his friends had se^^cured Ins release Dr. Kiernan, the super^^intendent of tbe asylum, shook his head^ominously and advised againat it He de^^clared the reporter to be incurably insane;^that he knew this because he had watched^the caae very closely. Kiernan's chief-of-^staff concurred in this opinion. Averdict was reached In short order by^the jury, who found that Richardson and^Crogan caused Burns' death. Tbe two men^and also Pecka are under indictment for^murder. There seems little doubt that^Drs. Kiernan and Shubert also will have^bills of some sort presented againat them^by the grand jury*.
