manger of q barn on Bastian's place,
is thought to have been the instru-
ment employed in the cold-blooded
deed. There seems to be no further
question in the theory heretofore ad-
vanced that Bastian struck young
kuschmann down in the COW shed !:
then hosting his lifeless aud bleed
ing form into the buggy conveyed it
to the roadway and dumped it onto
the ground and then gave the alarm
that fatal accident had occurred.
For the first time since the revela-
ton Of the horrors of the Black
Hawk farm and the delicate ques-
tioning to which she has been sub
jected, Miss Carrie Bastian yester.
day displayed emotion. She was
put through a rigid examination con-
corning the movements Of herself and
brother on the night OF kusch mann's
murder, during which she broke
down and wept. On other occasions
che has been cool and reserved; but
something seemed to touch her yes-
terday and her emotion over
came her. Two Of the Jury
men were for duplicating Miss Bas-
tian in the Kuschmann murder. She
held to her former statements that
she knew nothing of the Kuschmann
killing and that she still believed it
was accident.
Carrie Tells Her Story.
Miss Bastian clings to the accident
theory in the face Of the abundance
of evidence which goes to contradict
such belief. IL saw Fred Kusch-

Mr.. Mitchell, rep, of Oregon, chairman
OF the committee on privileges and cleo

a dozen more speeches to be made upon
it, and that therefore, he could not IA

anxious to have the case disposed OF. He
consented, however, to let the matter 20

G. N. Merrill Will Reside in Future
in the Newly Made State.
HIS INTERESTS ARE HERE
The Able Champion of Siiver's
Cause Promises to Make Free
quent Visits to Montana-He
Talks on Leading Topics.

Thomas G. Merrill left yesterday after
noon on the Union Pacific for Salt Lake
City, where he will live permanently
hereafter. Mr. Merrill will retain all OF
his business interests and mining invest
ments In Montana and will make frequent
trips here. Mr.. Merrill Is one of the old
est residents in Montana, having landed
in Prickly Pear gulch on Aug. IS, 1863
He left Montana for a few years in 1869,
but soon returned and has been closely
identified with the state of Montana since
then in every fight for advancement and
prosperity of the state. His services to
the state in the mineral land fight with
the Northern Pacific and In the agitation
for the free coinage of silver will never
be forgotten by the people of this state.
Mr.. Merrill is at present a member OF
the mineral land commission, but handed
in his resigation to Governor Richards
on Wednesday evening. 1t is stated that
George w. Irwin and DR.. A. H. Mitchell,
the other members of the commission
will also. resign, and will send a report to
Governor Richards In a day or two rec
ommending that the state mineral land
board hereafter perform the duties which
have devolved on the commission. the two
boards being unnecessary. Mr.. Merrill
will also probably resign as member Of
the executive board of the silver league
for Montana, although many Montana
people are urging him to retain that posi-
ton.
THE cause of silver never looked
brighter" said Mr.. Merrill just before he
took the train yesterday. 81 believe that
silver will win this fall. do not expect
that either of the old parties will come
out for silver, but believe a combination
will be effected which will result in a
victory for silver. This seems more prob
able every day" -----
For my part" continued Mr.. Merrill.

pected to pay visit to Montana a week
ago, were suddenly called back to Chi
