who was represented by counsel. At
torney J. N. Searles moved to dismiss
the complaints on the ground that the
charges made are too indefinite and
general, and not specific as to time and
circumstance; also that the several dis
tinct offenses are charged in the same
complaint. After argument in support
of his motion by Mr.. Searles aud in OPP
position by Mr.. Marsh, the court an
nounced that he was not just then pre-
pared to decide the motion, but would
reserve his decision until the time
agreed upon to which the court should
adjourn. He, however, said that one at
least of the charges was sufficiently Spe-
cific and definite. Others, perhaps, were
not; but he intimated that new COM
plants would be necessary. Court then
adjourned until next Wednesday, The
proceedings attract but comparatively
little attention now, only half dozen
spectators being present in court.

party of fifteen men abandoned the
task of dragging the lake, and Capt.

on the surface. The body was brought
to Saltwater last evening and will be
buried here to-day.
