per county, who was arrested in Grin
nell last week and brought to this city,
being charged with the theft of a horse
belonging to Darling & Mundy, of this
city, was arraigned for hearing before
Justice Burritt Saturday evening at q
o'clock. 1t was supposed that he would
waive examination and submit to being
bound over, but such was not the case.
for the defense made no pretense of In
PRODUCING evidence, not even the testi-
mony Of the defendant himself. His
counsel evidently thought that as long
as the outline of the states evidence
was known, and it would warrant the
prisoner being bound over any way. the
gist of the evidence for the defense
might better be reserved until later
date.
The evidence for the state was taken
and was in accordance with the facts
as stated in these columns at the time
of the arrest. Both Mr.. Darling and Mr..
Anderson, who was with him at the
time, testified as to the circumstances
leading up to the proposed trade, and
lhaw Blair rode the Darling & Mundy
horse away as soon as the animal had
been unhitched from Mr.. Mundy's bug
] gy and he had driven the traders horse
down the road about sixty rods for
trial.
| The main point proven by the testi-
mony was that there had been no def
mite conclusions reached concerning a
| trade of the two horses, and that Mr..
Darling had not offered to trade even, if
at ALL and insisted upon trying the
horse offered by Blair before settling
upon anything.
After the states evidence was in a
motion for dismissal was made by the
| counsel for the defense. This was over
| ruled by the court, who stated that the
fact that Blair would leave his COM
1 panions without word Of notice, and
at o'clock at night, too, and in COM
pany with another mans horse, as had
been proven by two witnesses, was
enough to warrant his being bound over
to the grand jury. This was done and
the young mans bonds We're placed at
$500. They were not furnished, and he
was again committed to Jail.
BARNES CASES GO OVER.
Il The cases for forgery and cheating by
false pretenses, against ex-Agent c. I
Barnes of the Adams Express Com
pany, which We're continued week agc
today. were again continued a week thi:
morning, by agreement of the attorney:
{, on both sides. 1t was rather expected
that the cases would be called thi.

This is his intention, as has been init
mated to some of the officers.
