Show For Murder. The grand jury having found an indictment in-dictment against S. M. Butcher, for the murder of the Cotton family, in Bingham, a few years ago, he has been arrested and placed iu the penitentiary. peni-tentiary. Butcher was tried and acquitted ac-quitted in the probate court shortly afler the commission of the bloody ceed. Subsequently the " Poland Dill" was enacted, divesting the probate pro-bate courts of jurisdiction of such cases; however, coufirmiug the judgments judg-ments and decroea theretofore made by these courts.
