The incarceration Of Title Cutchshaw
in the county jail without bail, on the
charge OF murder, is still tie subject OF
considerable comment in this city.
Some persons are disposed to look upon
the affair as an outrage, travesty on
Justice, claiming that there is no evil
dence so far Produced Sufficient to hold
the girl. Some persons hint strongly
that apoplexy may have caused NC
Cabe's death; his symptoms on the even
ng of his death, as well as on former
occasion, when riding In a skill with
Miss Cutchshsw, were remarkably SIM
liar to those OF apoplexy. This dis
ease, it Is said, leaves after death clots
of blood near the skull, like those
found at the post norton exam
ination OF McCabe. 1t is too late
now, of course, to draw grand jury
for this special case TO be heard at the
present term of court; but we belieN o
another plan could be pursued. Let IL
Prosecuting Attorney and Miss Clutch
shaw's attorney conduct hearing for
the purpose of deciding definitely
whether there is sufficient evidence
against her to keep her imprisoned In
the county jail until next October. The
prevailing sentiment is that the girl has
already told all she knows about the
mysterious affair; and Is not shrewd
enough to conceal crime or defend some
one unknown even had she q desire or
motive for doing so.
A fakir who sold patent medicine held
forth at the corner OF Union and Thirty
second streets Saturd az evening. He
was dressed in cowboy costume, accom-
panied by woman, and made prepare
ton for dlsposing Of his medicinal stuff
with great ado and flourish, dropping
two revolvers into his belt hollis. He
collected quite crowd by his loud
harangue, and Of course when he WI
ready to sell there were large number
OF eager purchasers, as some sort OF q
lottery game was offered. When two
dollar bill was handed him he would
hand out two bottles instead OF
returning dollar in change. On
receipt of a five or ten-dollar bill he
would say, "just wait moment and
I'll hand you the change" but he
didn't. lie had probably raked In SIS
or 500 when be was handed what pur-
ported to be telegram. He excused
himself for a moment, and darted out OF
the crowd, forgetting to come back.
The woman gathered up the traps, and
also departed. The man was in town
yesterday, but no complaint was made
against him, those who were fooled out
OF their cash evidently being ashamed
to make themselves known.
Charles Mccoy was arrested IN the
vicinity OF Vogels place, Saturday eve-
ming, on the charge Of abusive language
toward a woman. After his arrest COM
plant was made that be had furnished
LIQUOR TO o 10-year-old child Of Leander
Given, OF the same neighborhood. 1t

in a very precari0us condition, but
when DR.. Mcclellan arrived he found
that she was only dead drunk, and
