STILL DRAGGING ON.
Another Continuance of the Horton and
Maine Case.

The long drawn out Horton-Maine case
came up before Judge Sphinx again this
afternoon and Lawyer David S. Baker,
for Mr.. Maine, asked for more time for
Mr.. Wadsworth, the expert, to examine
the books concerned.
Judge sphinx thought four days ought
TO have been ample time ana Mr.. Wads-
worth explained that the books were so
mixed up that he needs more time before
he can make his report.
LAWYER Miller wanted to know what
"report" is Intended, as he understood
that the examinstion of.the books was for
the purpose OF making Up new guardi-
ans account. He then stated that OF the
2S hours the books were az court Mr..
Wadsworth only spent 10 hours examin-
ing them.
Judge sphinx didn't see why the books
could not be left in tho charge OF the
court.
Lawyer Miller said he could not give
up the books TO have them go where a
man can change or alter the figures. He
meant to intimate, he said, that Mr..
Maine would use G. pencil and rubber TO
change pc Gil entries in the books. Mr..
Miller claimed that he could draw off
everything there is in the books relating
TO the two months involved in one day
Judge Sphinx continued the case till
next Tuesday, IL being understood that
Mr.. Wadsworth may go To Mr.. Miller's
Office when he wished to examine tin Q
books further.
Immediately Lawyer Miller in sisted that
MIR. Wadsworth has access to books of
original entries which have been denied
access to.
Mr.. Wadsworih declared that every
book and paper OF original entry had
been shown.
Bookkeeper Doty then told how Mr..
some original entries ia his Office and he
knew that they had book OF some. sort
containing original entries.
Mr.. Wadsworth said all he had were
copies from MIR. HCrtou's books made by
people in the store. Judge Sphinx could
not tell whether next tuesday Will be the
last day or not, but he could not see why

BATS IN A NINE.
y Nest of Them Found 100 Feet Under.
ground

y nest Of bats was found 100 feet un
foreground in Snowshcc Gulch, near Cot
tagc Grove, in Oregon, the other day,
says the San Francisco Call. This is con-
sidered II most remarkable discovery, and
those who have visited the place and seen
the animals ere ut II loss to account for it,
John Dinman and Andrew Wilson have
been developing Il claim in the gulch b.
running n tunnel to reach the vein
Their tunnel runs obliquely, and few
days ago when their tunnel reached the
depth of 100 feet, the rock began to as
sumo different condition. 1t sounded
loose. or hollow in that particular srot,
ami the partners knew that they were
nearing what in miners parance is called
"a change
Their holes were nearly loaded when
they discovered this, but they continued
loading and then went to the surface and
touched off the charge. Upon their re
turn they expected to find a vein uncov-
cred, or at least Il rock of different char
acter from that through which they had
been running
But quite II different matter attracted
their attention when they went back to
the end of the tunnel and the circum-
stance has been the wonder OF the entire
country ever since. 1t has created an i'm
and otherwise, but no certain explana.
ton has yet been adduced
Instead of finding ore or any particu-
lar change in the rock, they found the
tunnel full of bats The cause of the
peculiar sound that indicated change of
ground was IL small cave. and into this
their last shots broke and out of which
came the bats. How the bats got into
the cave and what sustained them there
is the problem The point is about 100
feet below the surface, and there is APP
parentiy no opening or means of ingress
or exit. The bats when caught and taken
out into the daylight appeared to be
without eyes and could fly but n short
way; in fact their wings were but mea-
grely developed. The first thing that at
tracted the mems attention when they re-
turned tc the tunnel was the peculiar
odor, which, Notwithstanding the amount
OF gas from the exploded powder, was
quite perceptible and disagreeable
The only solution of the strange occur
renee that has yet been offered is the fact
that the rock is of metamorphic and
aqueous origin, and, being in the Cascade
range, IS OF recent occurrence. The rock
Is closely bedded shale, and ut the time of
the geological disturbances that put it
INTO It's present position the bats had
their nests there and had become incascd
