GRAND JURY
Make a Partial Report and ludict
 MCMann for Murder.

The Grand Jury did not finish its labors with the indicting of Burns and Johns for the killing of StrattOn in the San Simon valley. The killing of Dr. Willis was made subject for the fullast investigation, with the result that John McMann was indicted for murder and is now in the county jail
 The report of the grand jury was handed in about noon and Sheriff Kelton immediately came down town and placed him under arrest. He did not appear surprised and remarked that he expected t.
 As the law knows no. such charge as Gan accomplice," the indictment is for murder, but it is understood that the charge, stripped of it's legal express ion is for being an accomplice in the murder.

The ShamklaUd Case,

The end of this famous trial is drawing to close. All day long the court room was crowded to listen to the arguments of the counsel. The opening by Allen English last night was highly commended by everyone as logical representation of the facts. w H Barnes took up the attention of the jury this morning and at one o'clock Mark Smith began his argu- ment. With the testimony in the case for the defense confined to the defen- dant and one other witness, he had not much to go on, and his remarkable legal ability as criminal lawyer was shown in the handling of the evi- dence meager ss it was. He gave the jury q synopsis of what the Attor- ney.General would tell them and pro- ceeded to answer in advance what he could not have an opportunity to do sfterwsrd.
 Shortly after 3 o'clock Col Herring, began his argument. It was one O: the grandest efforts of his life in Tomb stone. His acquaintance with the deceased which ripened into a warm friendship, added to his intense feeling in the case on behalf of the Territory. At 4 80 he was still riveting the atten- tion of the jury and the crowded court room. The case will go to the jury as soon after the closing argument as it takes the judge to charge them.

ONE of the proverbs in the old Tes tament says "There is 8 friend that sticketh closer that brother" With all due respect to the author of the lines, we think he was mistaken. One of the pleasing incidents of the late tiial of Dan Shankland, for the killing of Dr. Willis was the devotion of his brother during every moment of his trial. He proved himself to be true friend while many would-be friends proved to be enemies.

According to promise the balloon ascension took place at Carrillos gar den last night at 5 o'clock and a throng almost as great as that of Sun- day gathered there.
 It was something of disappoint- ment again, in that the balloon did not go up higher, but as before the aeronaut was in no wise to blame. About 4 80 the fire was lighted for the hot air for imitation but through the carelessness of boys holding the bot tom of the balloon, cold air was allow d to partially fill it, nautralizing to . certain extent the hot air. There fore when it was cut loose it only as. cended to the height of 500 feet sail. ing off eastward, the professor dang ling from his bar preparatory to cast ing off with his parachute. The ba- loon then began tipping sldewise and was cut loose. The parachute then decended about 20 feet before open ing when gradually it's downward mo. mentum decreased, the plucky profes. sor landing in the vicinity of Stone avenue where he was rudely welcom- ed back to earth by striking 8 post slightly injuring him. The balloon tipped over. belching forth q trail oI smoke in it's dscent, landing hun dred yards from it's owner.
 Prof Hennessey intends making an other ascension this week, which he hopes will prove satisfactory to him self and spectators. It takes place about Saturday or Sunday.
