The second specification is very near copv of the
above, except the name of DR.. Thomas is substi-
tuted. Charge second is assault with intent to kill
A. b. Meacham and L. S. Dyar.
The first three witnesses examined were I.
F. Riddle, his Indian woman Toby and L. S.
Dyar. Toby swore positively that Capt Jack
shot Gen. Candy, Schonchin Meaeham. Bos-
ton Charley DIR. Thomas Hooka lin, tried to
kill L. S. Dyar, and also that Barncho knocked
her down with gun and tried to take her
horse. The testimony of Riddle corroborates
that of his wife. The testimony of Riddle
amounts to nothing. He could swear to
nothing positively except that he was present
when the firing commenced, and that he was
chased by Hooka Jim.

! The trial of Capt. Jack and his felIov-assas-
| SINS by Military Commission was concluded at
| Forth Klamath, Oregon, on the 9th. The
evidence for the prosecution was of the most
positive character, leaving no doubt of the
! guilt of the prisoners. The only witnesses
produced for the defense were Scar-Faced
! Charley, Dave, One-Eyed Nose and William.
Their evidence amounted to nothing in favor
of the prisoners, but was simply recital of
what the Klamath Lake Indians had done and
told them (the Modocs) since this trouble
commenced. There is no doubt but the Com
mission will find them guilty on all the charges
and specifications.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, was visited by dis
astrous confagration on the 18th inst One
hundred dwellings and number of stores
mills, hotels and other buildings. the whole
covering six of the most thickly built squares
in the city, were destroyed. The loss is nearly
insurance. The Arizona Mormon mission
projected by Brigham Young to settle in that
Territory and build that section of Tom Scott's
Southern Pacific railway has proved dis
astrous and complete failure. The entire
colony of over 700 are on their way to Utah
again. The emlgrants experienced terrible
suffering. The character of the country was
completely misrepresented. 1t was sterile,
with water and pasturage scarce. The
condition of the people and train is extremely
sad, and it is said the result has shaken the
faith of the Mormons in the infalibilitv of the
head of the church as an inspired prophet.
