The sccriIle Murder Case.

RENO, October 3lst.-Dickson, attorney fer
Wheeler and McMeehan, closed his argument
Saturday. His theory was that the Moore
party knew of the order modifying the in
junction. He believed Fowler and Coean
changed pistols; that Cogan had a dark pis-
tol, and fred the first shot. If MeAlechan
shot Scoyille, Cogau and party ought to be
held for manslaughter; il Cogan shot SEQ
vile, he ought to be held for murder.
R. Ii. Lindsay. for the same parties, spoke
this morning. He claimed that McNIechan,
Wheeler. Coffin and Sunderland had as much
right in the railroad office September 9th as
the Justice had to examine into this case. If
six cowboys were to come in and try to stop
this Court, saying '' Get out, or we will put
you out" every mans hand would itch for
his hip pocket. McMechsn and party were
assailed, and had right to repel force with
force. Scoville admitted drawing pistol,
which was displayed twice. When Scoville
drew his pistol the act said (: "We came to
put you out, and will at any cost" McMe-
chan said he fred three times into the corner,
and fred to hit. He had right to shoot.
This was foul conspiracy by Moore, Cogan,
Fowler and others. Their garments are wet
with the blood of Scoville, and the blush of
shame and conscious guilt mantles their
cheeks
W. E. F. Deal, attorney for Moore, Fow-
Ter and Cogan, followed. The talk of Moore
swindling anybody was all bosh. McMechan,
Coffin, Wheeler and Sunderland paid in 81, $50
against about S1S0,000 paid by Moore and
his friends. All the blood of Scoville and
Balch was not enough to pay back that
$3.50. The $1,000, 600 issue of stock was
clearly Illegal. That is a California idea
that Directors own everything and stockhold-
ers nothing but that is not law The Hill
yer modifying order was void, because no
record of the ease was in the Court. Cogan
and Fowler attacked McMechan. Why
didn't he shoot them, instead of Scoville. an
outsider? McMechan fred the first shot,
and it is probable that he killed Scoville
Sunderland and Cofin's testimony cannot be
believed. 1t is more reasonable to think that
Wheeler, McMechan, G, fin ard Sunderland
with cleaned and oiled pistols, were conspi-
rators, than Moore, Cogan and Fowler, who
went to the meeting unarmed.
SECOND DIsPATCh.l
RENO, October 3lst After the closing
argument by Attorney. General Kittrell, the
Court discharged Moore, Coffin and Wheeler,
and ordered Cogan and Fowler to appear to-
morrow morning at 9 o'clock. They will
probably be fined. James McMechan was
held to answer before the Grand Jury on a
charge of maIslaughter.

Joaquin Rivers.
STOCKTON, October 31st.-C. d. Rhodes,
civil engineer, connected with the United
States Engineer Corps on this coast, has, un-
der instructions from Colonel Mendell, COM
pleted an examination of the Mokelumne
river from Woodbridge, the head of naviga-
ton, as declared by law, TO deep-water at the
confluence Of the Mokelumne and San Joa-
quin rivers, covering both forks of that
stream. The principal distractions found by
Mr.. Rhodes were above Staten Island, or be-
tween the latter and Woodbridge. He has
made sketch of the river, locating all of
the Instructions to navigation, snags,
overhangiug trees, ETC., and reported
the same to Colonel Mendell, his su-
perior officer. West from Staten Island
there is little or no work to be done, and be-
tween that point and Newhope the principal
Instructions occur. Mr.. Rhodes report,
based OF thorough examination of the
stream, is officially submitted to Colonel
Mendell, and what action will be taken in the
premises remains to be seen. The improve
ment of the navigation OF the San Joaquin
and Mekeumne rivers is matter that deeply
concerns the people of this section. 1t is es-
timated that something over 10000 tons of
freight annually would be carried from that
section were the Mokelumne in navigable
condition.
