animals. Mr.. Chase recognized the
greater portion of the wearing apparel,
which had been in his possession for
some time, as that found with the re-
mains. The coat was identified by a
pocket in the right sleeve and bullet holes
in the same. locality. At one point de-

cal or surgical terms used by witness, but
receded upon learning that Mr.. Chase
was at one time anatomical d3monstrator
at Dartmouth college.
John Murphy was recalled. He had
taken %cognizance of the existence of a
peculiar pocket in the sleeve of the coat
found with the skeleton. Previous to
the inquest he was in ignorance of this
face.

teal experience, was not an expert. MIR.
Stoll expressed a willingness to have the
court pass upon the question without the
submission of an argument on behalf of
the prosecution.
His honor responded that the issue
made was one Of the utmost Importance,
that counsel for the territory must cite
authorities in support of the claim that
the forthcoming evidence was admissible.
The question was settled at the evening
session by a debate between Messrs. Camp
bell and Patterson. Judge Maginnis
ruled that under certain prescribed condi-
lions the question might be asked and
answered, DIR. Barkwell was absent when
this decision was made, and DIR. Marston
was called 10 the stand.
The county physician Appropriated the
age of the deceased as between 26 and 30.
Defense objected ere witness could answer
a question as to the probable height,
weight, ETC., OF deceased. This question
will be settled this morning.
Defense is tenaciously fighting the case
inch by inch. At the gait assumed YES

MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT.
James France Closes His Bank
Rawlins.

Special Dispatch to THE AIDE
RAwLINs, March l6.-Jas. France.
the banker, made an assignment this
afternoon to Messrs. Conner and Brown
of Laramie City.
There has been considerable excitement
here since the announcement of the fail
ure, as the house was considered one of
the soundest in the territory.
Many of the railway employees sta
toned here, and the artisans, laborers and
mechanics engaged about town, deposited
the residue of their earnings in the de-
funct institution, and are naturally quite
anxious as to the outcome of the en-
barrasment.
Heavy losses sustained in outside trans
actions are said to have caused the failure.
Mr.. France claims that he will pay dol
lar for dollar, but there are many who
will not accept this statement as absolute
ly true. A number do not believe the
outlook so bright as the gentleman insists
that it is.
II uooNAo w az So NOOOi ia
bilities $l43 900, leaving a balance of
$S4, 900 in favor of Mr.. France and his
creditors.
Mr.. France is a Wyoming pioneer and
one of the best known citizens in the ter
ritory. He amassed a competency by
dealing in groceries when the Utes were
among his best customers. The gentle
man has dabbled in politics at times and
is of a literary turn of mind. He lost
considerable money last year by the fail
ures CT the Kelly Brothers, Rawlins
clothiers and Montana mine owners with
whom he was interested. Mr.. France wa!
very e%nterprising and had implicit faitf
in the future of Rawlins. He constructed
the first substantial ediice erected in the
town. Last summer the gentleman mar
ried a Mrs. Walton, an estimable Denver
lady.

Chicago Shippers Sighted.

CHICAGO, May 26.-The Chicago ship
pers are up in arms against the pro-
posed reduction in rates by the Bur
lington & Northern Railway, after June
LIST, on the through traffic between New
York and ST. Paul. to meet the rates
made via the Vermont Central and the
Lake 10 Chicago. The shippers of the
Burlington & Northern have given
notice that they will adhere to the
present schedule. In other words, they
propose to charge the Chicago jobber
ten cents more for hauling freight from
Chicago to st. Paul than they charge
New York shippers for the same freight
from New York to st. Paul. A num-
Der of letters of protest were sent
to the Chicago bureau, calling atten-
ton tc the unjust Determination. Many
Chicago shippers agree that they will
have to recall their men from the
Northwest Territories or else sell goods
in that country at loss. An effort
will also be made to induce the 20"
people, who do not favor the cut, &c
bring its subordinate road to q sense
of right aud sd1ty.
