theories and opinions advanced. and
almost everyone is led to believe that
If Kerry Eagle" was not directly
connected with the dark and bloody
deed, he ut least, knows more than he
has told, and of such character rs
would throw light on the mystery.
Mrs. William Strong, who lives about
500 yards this side of Goggin's ranch,
states that on the afternoon of the 9th
inst, at about four o'clock she saw
Goggin going home. He was drunk
and was swearing so rs To he heard,
but she could not make out the cause ol
his profanity Ms she had no conyer-
satiOn with him. He also had with
him Il jug. The strangest thing about
this whole affair is that Kerry Eagle"
should not have, after discovering the
body of Mccarthy, gone TO some OF
his many neighbors and related the
fact, that he should have taken things
50 cody and have had the nerve Ia
cook his supper, consisting of soup,
meat and tea, which would require
some time, while the blood stained
and inanimate form of his friend was
lying there amidst the chilling
surrounding of that dismal shack.

the city jail, and upon being searched
there was found upon him, among other
things, two United States coins, mutt

was twenty dollar gold piece, and the
other n silver dollar. Upon one side
of each coin was followed ont place
nearly equal in size to liye.dollar
piece. In this were fitted q couple of
springs, which connected with sliding
piece OF the rim, and which were
evidently intended to hold something
firmly in the hollow space. Many
were the conjectures among the
policemen rs to what purpose this new
tangled device might he put. The
most plausible explanation of the mutt
lated coins ut first seemed to he that
they we're intended to steal five-dollar
pieces in a game. This was upset.
however, by one of the boys, who was
familiar with all the tricks of the
greeks" According to his knowledge,
these mutilated coins were in use q
great deal by the tin-hom gamblers
throughout the west. They were in

small mirror, and thus while lying un-
detected upon the table at an angle OF
forty i've degrees, behind a stack Of
similar coin. in front of the dealer, the

skill. know by means Of mirror TO q
certainty every card held by any one or
