Acquitted.

On Tuesday the trial of George
W. Scott was commenced in the
Third District Court. Scott, it will
be recolIected, is the man who
killed Frank Riley at Park City last
spring. The details of the affair
were published at the time, and
from all that can be ascertained,
both men were highly esteemed in
the camp. and while it was the
common belief that Riley was at
fault in the difficulty, it was a mat
ter of general regret that it should
have occurred. In the trial on
Tuesday and yesterday, the testi-
mony went to show that, at least sc
far as the immediate difficulty is
concerned, the shooting was justif
able; consequently, when the jury
returned verdict of E'not guilty.
it was received as being eminently
correct. Major w. w. Woods anC
! Capt. Frank Hoffman defended Mr.
Scott.
