The Judge Thinks 1t Useless to Again
Try Lundquist-
The fifth failure to convict Carl Lundquist
of the murder of Minnie Lohne is now
causing considerable iii scussion between
his attorney, the Judge aud the District
Attorney, as to whether or not he should be
kept in custody and made to endure another
trial. When Judge Hebbard discharged
the jury late Tuesday night, upon their
positive assurance that an agreement was
out of the question, he intimated to counsel
that he would entertain motion to release
LundqulSt on his own recUgnlZance. As
sistant District Attorney Cam beIl at once
raised vigorous protest and for the while
the question was dropped.
Yesterday morning District Attorney
Barnes. who is of less impassinned tenn
permanent than Mr.. Campbell, said he could
see no sense whatever in holding LuudQuist,
and would not hesitate to consent 10 his re-
lease if it was not for the fact that on his
second trial he was convicted of murder in
the second degree. The five trials thus far
have cost the county over $4,000, and Mr.
Barnes does not see any sense in increasing
this handsome bill of expense with NJ pros
pect of conviction. Just what course will
be pursued has not yet been decided upon.
Lunnqust's five trials have resulted as
follows: First, fourth and fifth in disagree
ments, second in conviction of murder in
the second degree. which was reversed by
the Supreme Court, third came to naught
because OF Jurors sickness.

yet to visit the Moquin Indians and fill the
Indian school at Kaams Canyon, Ariz., with
pupils In al interview with him it was
learned that his investigation at the San
Carlos Indian Agency relative to the closing
OF the Indian traders store by Captain John
L. Bulls, Twenty-fOurth Infantry, u. s. A,
who was Acting Indian Agent at San Car
los, resulted in favor of the trader, Captain

Kings bury is authorized TO continue his
trading as before. He is also Postmaster
and express agent, and was piqued when
Bulls ordered him to hold box that was
thought to contain whisky for the soldiers,
who we're thought to be giving it to the
Squaws. Kings bury allowed the owner OF
the box TO reship the same to Globe City,
Ariz., and therCupOn the trouble began.
The old scout and Indian fighter Al Siebert,
who was chief OF the scouts at San Carlos,
was discharged over the matter, Bulls i'm

A BABE IN THE BAY.
The Body of Dead Infant Found in
CitY-Front Slip.

The Body of Dead Infant Found in a
City-Front Slip.
The porter OF the steamer Tamalpais, ply
ing between this city and Sausalito, saw
the body of an infant floating in the bay
yesterday afternoon as the steamer was
entering the slip at Clay street about 80
O'clock. He fished the body out and notified
the Coroner, who removed it to the Morgue.
An examination proved that the remains
were those of an eight-month-od female
infant land that the head had been severely
battered, in all probability from coming in
contact with the paddle wheels either of
the Tamalpais or some other steamer. 1t
had been in the water but few hours.
When the case was first reported at the
Morgue it was rumored that the child was
years old, and that its throat had been cut
from ear to ear These reports proved, how
ever, to be only purely sensational.
