SHOCKING DEATH.
. woman Frozen TO Death.

Yesterday morning, between . aud
o'clock, in the rear Of small house on
Huffman street, between Lacour and
p;oche streets, a woman was found dead,
apparently having frozen to death the
uisbt before. The unfortunate woman
was first seen by some passsrby, through
whose agency information was given at
,ho sherif's office, and Deputy Sheriff
uoao went at once to the spot and gave
,;rections to the bystanders to allow the
hody to remain as it was found until the
Coroner could be notified. She was lying
upon her back, with eyes and mouth
oren and presented shocking appear
noe She had on her shoes and the
hodv Of her dress, but the skirt Of her
Jrsss was gone. At the front Of the
bonse her bonnet, shawl and the skirt OF
her dress was found. From appearances,
wa iudpe she stumbled over an impedi-
,re1t npou which her feet were lying,
and in the fall had turned SO as to cause
the back of her head to strike the frozen
earth. or else she had, in her bewildered
condition, lay down to rest, and SO had
taken her final sleep. As no marks OF
violence were found upon her person,
the latter theory is probably the correct
one. The house, with kitchen attached,
was reat and comfortably furnished, and
here the poor woman had lived alone.
The deceased was of incorporate habits,
and the last seen of her the afternoon
preceding her melancholy end, she was
under the influence of liquor, although
about IL o'clock Tuesday morning she
was apparently sober. Her hair was
black and straight, her complexion as
dark as that Of o mulatto.
Coroner Deal was notified of the event,
and summoned a jury to inquire into the
cause of her death. After the jurors had
viewed the body, it was prepared for
burial to-day. Following is the verdict

SAN JUAN Evidences multiply
against going to San Juan at this season.
Yesterday We saw letter from Ed. Kie-
sele now at Little Cottonwood, Utah) to
his father in this city, in which he says:
As regards the San Juan country, Gen.
Herran says he cant see what cause
there is for such rush to that country
He says the country lies partly in Ar.
iona, Utah and Colorado, and that there
Is so much snow there now that no one
can get to the mines, and will so remain
until about the LIST Of July. There has
as yet been but little gold found. I have
seen several arrivals from San Juan, and
all say nothing can be done this Winter.
ADMITTED TO BAn.--The young man
lbberton, better known as Bones" who
stabbed o Chinaman in restaurant some

the original charge was modified to
a charge of assault. Nearly, if not oil,
the testimony for the prosecution being
Chinese, and the defendant having suf-
fered incarceration for three months, no
tears would be shed If Bones" should
make good use of bail.
