THE CROSS MURDER.

The Government Rests Its Side, and the De-
Tense Examine Several Witnesses.
Special TO the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, June 16.-At the open
ing of court this morning it was an
nounced that the government would rest
its case on the evidence already in. The
defense have examined some fifteen wit
nesses, large number being to estab-
lish the general good character, and the
rest on the alibis set up by some of the
defendants. Nothing bearing on
the tragedy of July % was
elected, the whereabouts of the
defendant, John A. Rutler, J. W. CAL
vert, A. NJ. Donnell and Smith Grub
being the subject of inquiry entirely.
There is no doubt that Calvert and Dom
nell were in Hugoton on the night and at
the time of the killing, and it seems most
probable that Rutler was, and while
William O'Connor anu Smith Grub
were IN No-Man ISLAND, there is good
evidence TO show they were some thirty
miles from Wild Horse lake when the
killing was done, and, in fact, were not
at the lake at all.

The Rock Island Mileage Books.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June l4.-OhciaIs of
the Rock Island railroad make light of
the complaints that have been made
about their mileage tickets being in the
hands of scalpers and being sold at rates
which are 81 below regular to Missouri
river points. They say that their tickets
need bother nobody. If there is any
such number as represented in the mar
ket it is the easiest thing in the world to
get rid of them. All that competing
roads have to do is to purchase all of
such tickets that they can find at the re-
duced rates, and the Rock Island stands
ready to redeem them at two and half
cents per mile, as is provided in the
agreement. The fact, they argue, that
they have not been called upon to re-
deem any of these tickets is sufficient
evidence that they are not in the mar
ket as represented.

rate cutting going on somewhere in

fact it has been intimated that rebates

said that n road s customers are
