CHEYENNE, Wy, July 1.-THE prose
cution closed its case against Croker to-
day, when the court received in evidence
the various articles submitted during the
examination OF witnesses.
Judge Corn, one of the attorneys fol-
Croker, made the opening statement in
his defense. II would be shown, he said,
that the defendant had been known for
years as a quiet, peaceable man, that
no motive existed to prompt him to com
nit the murder. While his relations
with Mr.. Booth were not pleasant, they
transacted their business amcably and
but twenty days before the murder had
settlement which was satisfactory to
both. The circumstances introduced by
the prosecution as tending to connect Mr..
planned to the satisfaction of the jury
/ by adequate testimony.
Evidence would be introduced which
would afford a clue to the possible class
Of characters who might have COM
mitted the crime.
After Judge Corns statement, Mrs.
Mary Small was placed on the stand.
She testified that on the night of the
murder. about lO:3O she saw two men
lurking at her back gate looking at the
Booth-Crccker barn. Their movements
excited her suspicious and she called her
husband.
Charles Small testified to having seen
the men mentioned by the preceding wit
ness. They ran down the alley when he
came out of his house.

HOPE DISPELLED,

OMAHA, July 2.-The Republican
Bimetallic League was organized a
year ago. AT meeting held here re-
Gently the following resolution was
adopted and has been signed by all
the members of the league who could
be reached:
Omaha-The Republican Bimetallic
when it should make the following
declaration:
It's organization was formed in the
hope that the Republican party would
in the future, as in the past, be true

upon all he living issues, and espec-
tally in the demand for free and I'M
limited coinage OF silver at the ratio
of Is to /. But that hope has been
dispelled. In its national council at
ST. Louis the party declared for gold
and the single standard; that this
great nation, dedicated in its birth to
the highest development of the human
race should engage in the business OF
making millionaires and paupers; that
the classes should dominate the masses,
and that the government of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people

We, as a league, therefore most hear
tily endorse the stand taken by Henry
M Teller and his associates in their
patriotic efforts to prevent this party
betrayal of self and alike commend
their withdrawal from such convention
when it ceased to represent the party
Of Lincoln, Grant and Garfield.
We are further persuaded that our
duty is clear We are called upon as
men and citizens of the republic to re-
sist this proposed wrong; we, there
fore, invite all Republicans to join us
in securing the united action of all
persons and parties who are in belief
and sympathy with US to make one
united effort to establish the financial
policy of this government upon the true
principles of bimetallism as it existed

A GARDEN PARTY,
Yale Crew and Their Friends Fur
nished a. Pheasant Change.

nIShed a ETeOsant OnUDSe.
LEY-oN-THAMES July q
While the garden party rendered to
the. Yale crew and their friends fur
nished a pleasant change from the ar
duous labors which have been the lot
of the young American oarsmen since
their arrival in England, it was not
permitted to wholly interfere with the
practice of the crew.
The Yale men complained that Mr..
Bayard, SO far, has not shown any in
terest in the crew, has not visited
them, nor sent them any welcome and
declined their invitation because of a
previous enga cement, through his sec
rotary.
Nearly all the critics speak most
highly of the Yale crews chances. Bob
Cook, previous to beginning work to-
day, sent the New Haven oarsmen
down to the boat house in order to
watch the English crews practice. He
impressed upon his charges the neces-
sity of copying their rivals quick
catch. The new college crew has much
improved recently and this morning
were considered quite equal to Lean
der Trinity hail. however, is not do
ing well and Wauchope reports that
the men want a lot of pulling together
before they will be as good as they
should be for the training they have
had.

Most of the wire stretching from the
power house of the Ogden City Street
Railway to the two big buildings just
completed by Rhodes Bros. at the
mouth of Ogden canyon is in place.
and from present appearances electri-
cal power can be running from Ogden
to the canyon by July 4. BY the way,
this is rather a reversal of the plan
that is proposed. The energy of a mil
lion and half dollars Of capital is
being expended in preparing to bring
the electrical power the other way
However, the thousand or so of horse
power which will be transmitted from
the Street Railway companys dyna-
mos to the machine shops will, in eff
feet, be like the dipper of water which
is used to prime old style pumps. 1t
is necessary to furnish a little power
in advance so as to get the machinery
to working and to get the great flow
OF electric power started from its
source. The machinery which the cleo
trio power is running over this wire
will turn it now about all in place. 1t
was purchased by Rhodes Bros. and
put in for the purpose of preparing
the pipe for the great pipe line now
nearing completion in Ogden canyon.
The recent letting of the contract for
the electrical machinery of the plant
at price approximating $4,000, has
called attention to the plant which
HAS MADE OGDEN FAMOUS,
and has made the name of F. j. Can
non, the manager of the Pioneer Elec-
trio Power company, c. K. Bannister,
the contractors, take rank with the
most eminent men who have success
fully promoted great enterprises.
AS this number of The Herald will
be unusually large, and will be circu-
lated extensively, a review of the work
done and projected is especially appro-
pirate.
The conditions which make the great
scheme possible are due to the natural
situation of Ogden and the Topographic
cal condition of the surrounding coun-
try.
The Ogden river coming down Og-
den canyon, which cleaves through the
Wasatch range, behind the city, has
a fall for about five miles of about so
feet to the mile.
At a point nearly eight miles from
the city, where three branches Of the
stream converge, there IS under con-
struction a dam sixty feet high by 45O
feet wide.
The site is especially favorable, for
back of the dam is a reservoir site
covering nearly 1,400 acres, and back
of this an area nearly three miles
in length which will hold surplus
back water. The dam will thus hold
back about 1856, O0O,O 900 cubic feet of
water From the dam the water will
be carried down to near the city by d
wooden pipe. This traverses along
the north wall of the canyon for over
five miles, requiring about 1000 feet
of tunneling,. and going much of the
way through solid rock. This is con-
ceded by engineers to be the largest
and in many technical respects the
most remarkable pipe line in the coun-
try.
From the face OF the mountain to the
power house the descent is uniform and
rapid-nearly 500 feet in about mile.
For this distance the pipe will be of
steel, reduced in size from the wood
pipe.
The force of the immense volume of
water rushing down through such a
complete system of piping can hardly

MERELY A RUMoR.

CHICAGO, July 2.-some credence
was given early this afternoon to a
rumor that the fasteners had selected
the Boies boom and its supporters as
means Of combination to effect III.
defeat Of the absolute silver men. In
stead Of losing confidence at the pooh
poohs of the leaders tonight, and the
denials of the Boies people, it gained
strength. 1t was to the effect that the
fasteners had sent commissioners into
the Boies camp with offers of assist
ance TO that candidate if in return the
Boies people would modify in some
way the financial plank so that while
declaring for bimetallism it should not
be so outspoken for silver. The Boies
supporters are highly indignant over
the rumor and deny it strenuously.

Printing In Grant COUNTY.

We had supposed P1llock's ..calam-
ity'' howl about the HERALD's print
ing bill against the county was pure
ly spitework. He knew there were no
false or fraudulent charges in the bill
and that whatever charges there were
that might not meet the approval of
the committee on printing would be
considered and discussed by them and
the maker Of the bill in a gentlemanly
and businesslike manner. He knew
that whatever differences might arise,
would no doubt be settled amicably
and satisfactorily. We had supposed
his .'boodle' talk was made from ma
licious motives simply to arouse sus-
picion and prejudice. But it seems
there was another motive back of it,
Ry oenterIng attention upon some
ones else bill the crafty old man rea-
soned that his own might receive the
benefit Of slipping through unexamin-
ed In this his hope was gratified.
A large portion Of his bill was pre-
tense and if he collects from the
county the full amount of it he will
be collecting that which is not his
own not even his very own" He
has gone back two years and charged
for publishing the names of petit jur-
ors that no officer ever authorized him
to charge for and which would not be
a valid claim against the county II
they had been so ordered.
There are not legal, technical. hon
est or moral grounds for paying the
bill and its illegal character must have
been overlooked by the committee.
There are other charges equally as
fraudulent. At least 81 $40 per cent
of his bill is doodle More Of ii
may be. At least this much is. Dc
