Martinez, Cal

Friend and whilom fellow-climber:

Your most cordially welcome, genial and eloquent letter came to hand a few days since. I was “right down” glad to hear from you, and hope you will favor me more than this once in the way of correspondence. I was sincerely glad, too, to hear something about our companion du voyage cap a mountain, Keith, who, it appears from your letter, has labored arduously with brush and canvas to give further fame to our grand old Rainier.

My Dear Friend:

When we were on Mount Whitney together – nearly fifteen years ago you proposed a subsequent meeting for the discussion of our mutual experiences – as also, incidentally, of travels of a less etherial nature. Your proposal was carried into effect. – how pleasurably, and profitably, to me. I have never forgotten. During the interval since we last met I have sealed divers rugged and

sightly peaks; and make no doubt that there have been times when you, too, …

The Element Of Locality In The Law Of Criminal Jurisdiction, Henry W. Rogers

Articles

THE Federal Courts have no common law criminal jurisdiction. The question was raised in the United States Circuit Court for the District of Pennsylvania, in 1798, in United States v. Worrall, 2 Dallas, 384, and the Court was equally divided in opinion. Iii 1818, Mr. Justice STORY, in United States v. Coolidge, 1 Gallison, 488, decided that there were common law offences against the United States. But this, as we shall see, was overruled by the Supreme Court. As early as 1807, Chief Justice MARSHALL, in Ex parte .Bollman, 4 Cranch, 75, had said, "This Court disclaims all jurisdiction not …

I am still out on the prairie, helping cook for ourselves and hired hands, and making butter. We make about 6 lbs. a week from one cow's milk and wash and mend, etc., as we used to do when we first went to housekeeping (us two old bodies) to save keeping a housekeeper, and it has been costing them so much to have a family in the house and each pay them so much a week for board as they have been doing till lately.

In that city, or near it, I believed Muir to be till I saw him step forth from the bushes on the bank of the …
