There was also a large attend ance of distinguished lawyers--thirty-four in all—which Chief Justice Wade said was the largest he ever remembered to have seen at any term since he has been here. Judge McLeary, who is a keen observer, said the array of counsel was equal in ap parent learning and forensic brilliance to that in attendance at any court he had ever seen, and while he did not express any sur prise at the fact it may be supposed that he did not expect as much from a territory.

To day there was application made before Judge McConnell for a receiver of the J. B. Raymond estate. The affidavits accompanying the complaint are very lengthy and of a sensational char acter. The application was in behalf of Mrs. Douglas as executrix of the Webber will. Among the allegations against the deceased Mr. Raymond is one charging him with embezzling some $50,000 and the gen eral misappropriation of the funds of the estate. One design of the appointment of a receiver is to have certain instruments given by Mr. Raymond set aside as fradul ent. Judge eConnell granted the motion and copneee Cc. J. Mahuken as a receiver. he disclosures made have created a at sensation, as it was generally believes that Mr. Raymond was an upright business man; but the evidence —_ im is said to be very strong by those who have examined the papers. ‘The case grows out of an old Mississippi matter. Sheriff Webber was an officer of Jackson county, and at the time of his death left his estate to his son, but placed it in ¢ e of Mr. Raymond. The estate was then valued at $35, and the young man afterward died, and Miss Douglas, now of the city, became entitled to it, which Mr. Ke fnelai increased to over 000. The facts will probably come out soon. The Raymond referred to was John B., delegate to am | Dakota for the two goess oname term of a ” Delegate a more died sudden trout to ten months He was one of the bonanza farmers Dakoti. Here Too.
