A curious story comes from Colorado, which, if true, indicates a degree of lawlessness that we have thought impossible, even in the border States and territories. One of the judges of that State, who attempted to hold a Court in a locality where such an institution does not seem to be welcome, was commanded to desist by an individual said tube a deputy sheriff, and who pretended to be acting under the authority of what he said was a warrant eoramancPng the judge to deliver up the books and seal of the Court and discontinue all proceeding*. The Judge ordered this individual to sit down, and threatened him with arrest if he did not do so. The answer was an attack upon the judge by the pretending officer, who struck him, and also fired a pistol at him.
