case of Lewis Forrest, charged with
killing Juan Martinas at sheep ranch
rear Soda Springs. Colonel Ferguson s
motion to quash the information, on
the grounds of illegality, was denied by
the court. and four state witnesses were
examined. The evidence thus far is to
the effect that Forrest placed a light
on TIE wagon under which Martinas
was sleeping, to make sure of his aim,
and deliberately killed him. The attor-
ney for the defendant has laid a good
foundation for an appeal, which Will
probably be taken in case Of &, verdict

Denver, Colo, Dec. 3-State Auditor
Lowell returned yesterday from trip
to DebeCue, in western Colorado He
brought with him some news of the
Indian situation in the vicinity of
Meeker, which proves that the trouble
in that section of the state is not over.
At Debeque Auditor Lowell saw and
talked with w. H. Gabel, who was one
of the three men who was, sent to warn
settlers in Lily Park, just after the en-
gagement between Warden Wilcox and
the Indians Ga.bel said that there are
positive reports current to the effect
that from $50 to 200 bucks have entered
Colorado, and are continuing with their
hunt, which was interrupted a month
ago. They have given it. out that they
are prepared to meet all the game war
dens in Colorado
Auditor Lowell says that these ru-
mors are reiterated in the Meeker and
Steamboat Springs papers. Gabel says
that the situation was serious. He says
the Indians have been melted to hunt
again by what friends they have in
the country. and by the soldiers. who
went from Fort Duchesne to drive the
Indians out of the state. These SOL
diers, it is reported, killed game them
selves, which was a sign to the Indians
that they could hunt if they wished
to do so. AS to the Indians who were
attacked by Warden Wilcox and party,
he says that not only piles of deer
! hides, but several beef pelts We're found
in their camp. Auditor Lowell consid-
ers the situation of the settlers as ex-
tremely critical.
1T would not surprise me-" the audi
tor said, were a band of Indians to
sweep down on any settlers ranch and
completely oblfterate it 1t would be
the easiest thing in the world to do"
SWAN STARTS WEST.
Game Commissioner Swan left for
western Colorado tonight, with Game
Warden McLain He said he had heard
something of the Indians in the vicin-
ity of Rangely, but had nothing of
fetal. He has reprimanded Game War
den Lyle. who is over there, for not
keeping him Informed as to the situa
ton there. The commissioner seemed
quite angry to think that so many well
! founded rumorS were a6Oat and he
could not even verify or deny them.
Commission Swan will make headquar-
tiers at Glenwood Springs, and will send
/ couriers from there. If he finds it nee
| eSsary he will go to the critical points.
'In case we do find Indians hunting
in Colorado" said Mr.. Swan. I'VE will
first notify Indian Agent Beck at FIT
Duchesne. If he does not take steps
to remove the Indians, we will be
forced to do it ourselves"
AS 80 the rumor that the soldiers
| slaughtered game when they were in
Colorado, Commissioner Swan said: 81
have no doubt but what the soldiers did
kill game to use as food but 1 do not
| believe they disobeyed the law and
carried away more than they could
use"

FRANKLIN CRANDALL DEAD.
Victim of AN Accidental Shooting at

Especial to The Herald3

Springville, Utah, Dec 3-F'ranklin
A. Crandall died at o'clock this morn
ing from the effects of an accidental
gun shot wound received while duck
hunting on Oct. 2 last. He was about
"a years of age and leaves a wife and
one child. The wound, which was in
his arm pit, had healed satisfactorily
but extreme pain necessitated the use
OF opiates. A few days ago the surgeons
performed an operation, which eased
the pain and he seemed in fair wav
to recover. His strength, however,
seems not to have been equal to the
strain and the case terminated fatally
this morning.

THE LAWS WRINKLES.
Democratic Postmaster of Mobile
Rssists Removal.

Mobile, Ala, Dec. 3.-For four days
past the newly appointed postmaster,
P. D. Barker, Republican, has in vain
endeavored to obtain possession of the
Office here from Postmaster Rapier,
Democrat. The latter's attorneys have
raised an entirely new point OF law
which Inspector Tate says has never
been raised in his experience.
Mr.. Rapier's attorneys hold that the
language of the statue relating to
postmasters of the first-class is special;
that it provides that the president shall
appoint and may remove such officers
by and with the advice of the senate.
Consequently, as Mr.. Rapier's COM
mission has not expired and Mr..
Barker's appointment has not been
confirmed by. the senate nor Mr..
Rapier's removal confirmed by the
same body, RaDier is still postmaster.
He is now awaiting the next move
of Mr.. Barker and the inspector.
