CAPTAIN Farrer Bound Over.

SOUTH BEND, Aug. 24-tspecial. THE trial Of
the opium and Chinese smugglers came to
sudden and unexpected close Saturday after
noon. After the examination of sixteen wit
nesses for the prosecution the prosecution
rested their case, the defense presenting
testimony in rebuttal United States Commits
s!oner Egbert bound Captain Erwin Farrer over
TO appear at the February term of the United
States district court to answer to the charge OF
aiding and abetting the smuggling OF opium
aud Cinnamon into Wiilara harbor. His bond
was put at $3.50. Mate Henry Nelson. also of the
schooner South Bend, waived examination and
was bound over. AT the instance OF Messrs.
Wallace and Stewart Charles Shippe and Joe
Cling were dismissed, there not being enough
evidence to hold them. 1t Is generally believed
that this is only the beginning of an investigation
which promises important disclosures and nu-
merous arrests for smuggling This opinion is
based not only on remarks let drop by Special
Treasury Agent c. j. Mulkey. but also on the fact
that the telegram received by Collector Dalton
warning him that an attempt would be made
July Ii to smuggie Cinnamon and opium into
Wiliapa harbor, stated the exact number OF
Cinnamon which were in reality landed and also
the amount of opium the sa>ugglers had. This
testimony was no. brought out at the examina-
ton, but will be in the regular trial.

KANE'S BODY FOUND.
1t Was Hanging to Sunken
Slabs on the Tide Flats.
HE SLIPPED BETWEEN LOGS.
A Diver Clears Up the Mystery OF the
Mans Fate-The Verdict IL
Accidental Death.

The body OF Edward Kane, who was drowned
at Harris lumber mill Tuesday, was recovered
at Is O'Clock yesterday afternoon and now lies
ct Bonney & Stewards undertaking rooms.
The search was continued yesterday morning
with the assistance OF Diver J. r. Ryan. Tie
boom was cut at the place where kanes hat and
pole were found and the logs pushed back.
Captain Ryan descended, and after hunting for
thirty minutes found the body in the current
that runs from Suliivan's boiierAhouse to the
foot OF the marine ways. The body lay face
down and in hole. The arms were thrown
around slab which had stuck in the
ground, the right leg was wound round
another piecs of timber and heavy
slab rested across the back. The body
was raised and Coroner Horton notified. The
only marks that were found were about the ears.
from which blood triekled. The theory that
this was due to kanes striking his head on q
log was dlseretited by Captain Ryan, who at
tributed 1t To the work of crabs. This explana-
ton was probably correct, because the blood
was fresh and flowed. Ii Kane had struck when
falling AMI bed at the ears the blood would
have thlckened or clotted SO that its age would
have been apparent The coroner concluded
that an inquest was not necessary and made out
certificate OF accidental drowning. 1t was
ascertained that Kane could not swim a stroke.
The general theory of the affair. as Cor
oner Horton views 1t aud rs con-
firmed by Captain Ryan's investigation,
Is that Kane. when he cut the rope
holding the logs to the piling fell forward into
the water. Invountarily he opened his mouth,
breathed in water, filing his lungs, and thus
really sutfocated. When he came to the slabs a.
the bottom he acted as the prove-bial drowning
man does and erasped at the first thing he
touched. The action OF the current could have
easily shifted a slab TO position over his body.
Captain Ryan recovered Kane's gold watch and
vest after the body was raised.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock at St. Marks church. The
lnferment will De at Lake View cemetery.

August II, that the Albatross had
