Unch anged.

After hearing all the evidence Acting
Coroner Hayden closed the inquest at A
P NJ on Thursday, ard IS minutes later
the jury returned verdict, holding the
prisoners Berry and Baker as the guilty
parties. They have retained Maj, J. NJ.
Beards]ey and r. ] Bell to defend them.
After the inquest at Rapids City, Justice
Hayden. Mr.. Parmeater the States At
tofney. Major j. NJ Beardsiey and others
ffom this city. returned to town.
During the inquest the acting coroner
considered it advisable to exclude every
one but witness and those who would be
likely to throw light on the subject of the
investigation. The men not being on trial
before the coroners jury, their counsel was
denied the right of being present, and to
prevent any charge Of untairness the
States Attorney was excluded from the
room during the taxing Of testimony al
though he remained at Rapids City till
the finish, 10 case his services might be
required. The names of witnesses have
also been withheld for the present. The
prisoners James Berry and Leslie Baked
will therefore remain 10 Jail till the next
term of circuit court, unless a. is very
probable they may be released on a writ
OF habeas corpus, which is said to be the
course likely to be taken by their counsel.
The state of affairs at Rapids City and
neigh borhood arc described as being very
unsatisfactory, and pnessiness continues.
1t is said unless witnessed it is difficult to
magine the actual excitement that exists.
