oIRcuMsTANT1AL EVIDENCE.

Edward Priest, who was arrested
Friday afternoon near Sheep Rock. -
in Weber canyon by Officer Pender,
who had good reason to believe the
boy guilty of horse stealing, had a
hearing yesterday afternoon before
Justice Ternes and had no trouble in
establishing his innocence. The de-
velopments in the case illustrate how
circumstantial evidence can sometimes
implicate an innocent party. The
horse belonged to boy named Har-
mon McManis and about February q
disappeared. Thursday young Priest
was heard of riding this animal up
Weber canyon and driving others
which had various brands on them.
His arrest, as told in yesterdays Her
aid, followed
Priests story, which is undoubtedly
true, was that the horse came to their
ranch up toward Morgan and as it had
the brand of his uncle on it he and
his father thought the horse had
Strayed from his ranch out near Co
rinne. Recently when he was going
to this ranch TO get some horses his
father told him to ride this horse so
as to show the same to his uncle and
leave 1t there in case it was his
uncle's horse or bring it back to be
turned over to the proper officer in
case 1T were not. OF course when the
complaint was made officer Fender
could only make the arrest and of
course when the real facts of the case
were seen there was nothing to do
but release young Priest and turn the
morse over to young McManiS

New York, April 25.-Today's stock mar
ket was above the recent half holiday
average in point of activity.
The initial prices were fractionally
above yesterdays final sales, Sugar lead
ing with a gain of almost a point. This
Improvement was only momentary, but
later effective support was advanced and
the storck rallied 112 per cent. to 1885. A
subsequent reaction occurred under heavy
selling to 1217s In addition to the liqui-
dalton there was free selling for the short
account on Washington advices in
timating the probability of the introduce
ton of a bill in the senate providing for
the repeal Of the 1sc differential.
The pressure against the railway list
was marked in some instances. rejecting
realization or profits accruing from the
advance.
A decided tendency toward improve
ment in stock prices were noted in the
week. Commission house business broad
ened and purchases on a large scale made
early dealings for London account. AT
times the speculation forged upon posi-
tive buopancy. The foreign demand for
1irst-claSS bonds was especially note
worthy, and large blocks of the specula-
tive issues were also taken. The govern
ment bond market also evinced European
investment. The steady improvement
In the mercantile situation, satisfactory
railroad returns, encouraging reports re-
garding the crop outlook and substantial
progress made toward closing up the re-
organization proceedings of several i'm
portant bankruptcy statements impaired
confident tone. In financial circles at
home and abroad there is also expectation
of unequivocal gold standard platforms
by both the leading political parties.
Another consideration that has been
brought to bear on speculation is the
prospect of an early adjournment of con-
gress.
Bonds ruled slightly lower in sympathy
with the concessions in the share list.
Trading was in good volume, the sales
amounting to $4,000. The bond market in
the week advanced on an increased sales
of activity. The Northern Pacific issues
were the features, and advanced sharply
on the success of the reorganization.
