This legal document details the indictment, conviction, and sentencing of Julius Strauss by the Territory of Montana for Grand Larceny. The court, in the First Judicial District of the Territory of Montana for Gallatin County, sentenced Strauss to two years imprisonment in the Territorial Prison in Deer Lodge. The document includes a certification by W. F. Davis, Clerk of the District Court, dated November 6, 1874, confirming it as a true and correct copy of the judgment. A later handwritten note on the document, dated August 26, 1876, and signed by J. Fish, indicates Strauss's release from prison, with two months reduced from his sentence for good behavior. The document is handwritten on lined paper, typical of official records from the period. 3.
