Dear brother Dave -

Yrs of Mch 19 came in good time that is anytime, for you write so seldom unless spurred by [mere?] business. I am glad to hear that you have all come through the winter unfrozen & that mother is again in her usual health. Annie writes that she suffered a good deal in the beginning of winter but is now hopeful & in fair health.

You ask me to tell you something of my affairs in Kansas, but I fear I can gave you very little satisfaction. I know that John's affairs are in a very bad condition but do not know exactly how he settled with his partners only that they have no claims on anything in Kansas. There are papers made out making over the undivided half of the lands to John, but as soon as the business troubles …

I will do the best I can about the return of the photographs, but fear some of them may be lost. I have been trying to ge back many of may pencil sketches without success so far.
That was a grand booming train of "cars" you had lately. I didn't know there were so many brothers. The Doctor must have enjoyed their visit very much and lived the early morning days over again.

Friend and whilom fellow-climber:

Your most cordially welcome, genial and eloquent letter came to hand a few days since.

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.

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 …
