SAN JOSE, Aug. 29.-Orrin Dubois,
wife and daughters, Blanche and Alice.
charged with the murder of All Cline, a
China boy, were brought before Judge
Senter this morning for examination,
after having been confined in Jail since
Wednesday. Mr.. Duboise is middle
aged man, farmer by occupation, and
the daughters are aged about 20 and %.
! They, with their mother, remained
closely veiled during the examination.
None of the family have thus far been
| called as witnesses. The principal
points in the testimony are those given
by medical men. DR.. Cary, the Coro-
ner, said he could detect no powder
marks about the wound, and did not
think person could shoot himself and
leave no powder marks. Paper was
exhibited, showing powder marks at a
distance of 6. S, 10 and u feet. It was
also said that suicide by pistol shot in
tie head generally causes fracture and
tearing of the head, and in this case it
was clean, round cut. Testimony in
regard to holes in the clothing, demean-
or of the family, and hearing of shots is
somewhat conflicting. Examination is
still in progress. Evidence is purely
circumstantial and unless the defend
ants testify against each other, it is not
probable that, if held for trial, they will
bs convicted.

the Indian disturbances on Texas front>
ier, leaving but three companies to gar
rison the Fort. The expedition was
expected to be gone forty days, but
nothing has been heard from them since
the above date. The weakness of the
garrison and knowledge that the In
