Joy at the Marquis' Acquittal.
Bismarck, D. T., Sept. 21.—There is great rejoicing at Medora, the home of the Marquis de Mores, over his acquittal. The cowboys gave him a reception upon his arrival there last evening, although one of their number was killed by him. As the train came into the station the platform was crowded with sombrero-crowned Westerners, who filled the air with shouts and huzzas, swinging their revolvers about their heads and unloading as fast as they could pull the trigger.
