Perkins Boys Cleared.

Free Press.
The trial of James e. Perkins and
Marion F. Perkins charged with the
murder of George M. Dickerson on
morning of December 26, last, at
Tom Pallock's place on rapid river,
was commenced last Friday morning.
The evidence was much the same as
that produced before the examining
mag .strate last January, a synopsis
of which was given in these columns.
AS it will be remembered, dance
was held at Mr.. Pollock's residence
Christmas night, and in the morning
as daylight was breaking the guests
were preparing to return to their
homes, when the trouble began which
ended in the tragic death of Dicker-
son, and the trial of the two brothers
for their lives. The defence brought
out the fact that there was conspir-
acy to give the Perkins boys thrash
ing; that one Evans struck James
Perkins over the head with revolver,
and that Dickerson was soundly pun
melting Frank Perkins, crowd of by
ISLANDERS calmly looked on when jim
Perkins, to aid his brother, dashed ul
and threw the rock which caused
death. By accident the defence
during the progress of the trial, learned
that one of the principal witnesses
for the prosecution, Stan Lewis, was
passing under an assumed name
having left his former home, ant
changed his name to avoid trouble
This undoubtedly had good effect OF
the jury. The trial took the time
from Friday to Monday inclusive, wher
the case was submitted TO the jury
who promptly brought in verdic
of "Not Guilty"

MINERAL.

The business of the camp looks up

The Mutual smelter started up to-
day. 1t is not altogether suspicious
for the company that silver should
drop nearly two cents an ounce the
day before they start their smelter,
but such is the silver producers for

23rd. He does not intend to do
anything with his smelter until about
September In the mean tine be
will have some work done on two OF
his mines, the Atlanta and Boon.
The Maria, Blackhawk and Silver
Bell mines are producing large guam
titles of ore.
