Jury Returns Verdict of Not Guilty at
$3.50 This Afternoon.

Both sides In the Rosenquist volun-
tary manslaughter case rested this
morning and arguments were immedi-
ately begun. after which Judge Nor
rell instructed the Jurors and at IL
o'clock they were conveyed to their
rooms.
The evidence introduced by the
State did not prove concmsively who
did the killing, but circumstances
tended to connect Rosenquist with 1t.
The testimony showed that The de-
ceased, John Anderson. and number
OF miners were drinking In the Scan
dinavian saloon at Bingham. early in
the morning OF October 30th, 1897
Rosenquist came In and he and Ander-
son were seen conversihE In the rear of
the saloon. About . o'clock In the
morning the proprietor of the saloon
called upon the crowd to depart. at the
same time saying he was going to
close up. Anderson was shortly after
wards heard to accuse Rosenqulst OF
having called him q bum" Anderson
then slapped the defendant in the face
and ordered him to get out" Rosen.
quist started towards the door with
Anderson following him. Just as the
latter reached the door, Rosenquist
still being In the lead. he fell to the
floor and an examination showed that
he had been stabbed to the heart. He
died few minutes later.
All the witnesses Tor the State said
that Rosenquist looked back as he
reached the saloon door. and that was
all they saw. No one knew whether he
remained on the outside until Anderson
came out.
The officer who arrested the defend
ant at his room an hour or so later
said a knife dropped to the noor as
Rosenquist rose from n bed. The knife
was irtrnduced in evidence as the ono
with which the stabblng was done.
The defendant took the stand and
testified In his own behalf. He said he
was n years old and was native of
Finland. He left his home three years
ago and went to South Africa and
worked in the mines there until he de-
cided to come to the United States.
He arrived In Bingham last August.
Just two months prior to the tragedy.
and resided there up to the time OF his
arrest.

The Jury came into court at $3.50 this
afternoon with a verdict OF not guilty.

as follows:

erly taxed as costs when the amount in
controversy does not exceed 81, 900, such
printing being purely voluntary and an
unnecessary expense.
1.-The charges of a Stenographer used

defendant filed q demurrer in the lower
court setting up the statute of limita-
tions, which demurrer was sustained
and the cause dismissed. The case was
taken to the territorial Supreme court

opinion the court said. sit appearing on
the face of the declaration that nine

Chief Flannery said yesterday in re-
gard to the fire: I'VE were out on the
first round of the alarm. We
made a quicker run Three alarms
were sent in. but that was through
no fault of the fire alarm system, but
only on account of the fact that alarms
were turned in from three boxes. L
sent three taps as a signal to the pump
station for more pressure. There was
plenty of water. We devoted ourselves
at first to getting the men out. Had
we started on the building at first. l
believe we could nave saved IT. but the

that We went right to work saving
them. i don't believe n were

stated that he was present at the nre
and asked chief Flannery if ne a
