CHICAGO, Dec 20-Judge Tuthiil
admonished, cautioned and read the
law to the Coughlin jury at the close
of the session yesterday. The court
room had been cleared of all the
curious spectators when the presiding
judge Ia le his unexpected and en-
phatic yeech to the twelve men who
stood before him. Afterward his
honor declared that he had not been
impelled to address the jury By any
reports he had received rejecting upon
their integrity or because any out
siders had attempted to speak to the
jurors about the case. II was just
cautioning them and frcshening their
minds as TO their duty as jurors and
citizens
One reason for the judge remarks,
however, was that a juror desired t.
take notes of the names, addr s~cs
and occupations of the many witness
ses who appear from day to day for
reference at the conclusion of the
trial A type written list Of every
witness called in the case on both
sides will be furnished each juror.
They will not be allowed to take
notes of evidence
Vague stories were in circulation
all day in regard to attempts to tam
rcr with the jury, this time two
women being mentioned as the often
ders. The only foundation is that
two women especially. who are un-

have been sitting day after day as

Left for Harpua ha Ia.


Mr.. Thomas H. Oman, who has been
foreman in charge ofthe DeLamar Co.'s.
mines since April l, 1891, when the
present company took possession, took
his leave on Thursday to accept the
same position on the Harqua ha la
mines in Arizona, those famous mines
being practically under the same own
ership and control as the mines here.
The regret at losing Mr. Oman from
our camp is joined in by all who haye
had Intercourse with that gentleman
and by none more than the men who
have been directly under his employ.
His impartial fairness in all matters, and
his uniform courtesy and consideration
for bis employees has given him high
place IN their esteem. His ability as a
miner, or the estimate of that ability
made By his employers, is expressed in
the fact that they have sent him to
newer and less developed property
where his experience will be of more
service to them.

a Pleasant Surprise.


i Itmakes life much better worth liv-
Ing to know that those with whom We
have had business intercourse for long
time are ready and willing to acknowl-
edge that such intercourse has been
pleasant by some token testifying their
regard and friendship. For such SUBJ
stantial reasons Mr.. Thos Fl. Oman, the
retiring fore man of the DeLamar mines,
is wearing smiles to-day. On last Tues-
day, when Capt. Pummer went up to
the mine, two of the shift bosses, Sam
Reynolds and VIM. Hancock, called him
to one side and showed him very
handsome gold-lined silver salver upon
which was placed an elaborate aad
handsome gold-lined silver tea service
and case contang q fine diamond ring.
They told the captain that the men at
the mine had procured these for their
foreman and wished him to present
them. Mr.. Oman and his men were
then called together and the captain in
clever address made the presentation,
for the men, speaking of the high es-
TEEN in which they held their chief
and their thanks for the uniform eour-
tesy and fairness with which they had
all been treated while under him.
Mr.Oxnam, although taken completely
by surprise and overwhelmed at such
an expression of esteem, commanded
his emotions sufficiently to make very
neat reply, in which he compimented
the men by saying that during the sew
enteen years he had spent in the noun
tains and mines in the West, he bad
never seen crew of men more faithful
in the performance of their duties or
who bad worked together more har-
moniously. He would carry away from
here only pleasant memories of both
the officers Of the company and of the
men whom be had had under his su-
pervision. The two aud half years he |
had spent with them, although very
busy ones, he would always remember |
as most happily passed and he could |
only part with the many here whose
friendly regard for him had been SO
generously expressed. with feeling of
regret and would carry with him, SO
long as be lived, only pleasant memo
ries of this hour and all the days passed
with this crew of men and upon this
mountain
