Star Route Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-In Che star
route trial Reredell continued the iden
LITIGATION of the hand writing and sio-
natures connected with the Kearnev
route. When he testified that Miner
signed for the other defendants, Kenkel,
Miners counsel, gave notice that he in
tended to move to exclude all Rersdell's
testimony touching his client.
The court replied it would be rather
late to make such motion, after hear
ing the testimony and ascertaininp
whether it was for or against him. The
court Overruled the motion saving il
could not be entertained for a moment.
1t wasn't likely it would go to the ex-
tremity of saying what evidence should
be excluded, or of deciding whether the
evidence was needed or not.
The examination of papers was then
resumed.

stocked a sheep ranch and engaged in
the sheep breeding business till the time
OF his death. Years rolled by, and the
country became more thickly populated,
and the city of Stockton grew about
him. His wealth increased year by year.
and from Independence he merged into
affiusnce. to be worth in the neiehbor-
hood of 100000. He remained bach
elor all his life. and died about two
weeks ago, leaving his entire fortune to
