HELD ON A CHARGE
 OF CONSPIRACY
Two of the Negroes Alleged to Have Been Implicated in the Ishkooda
 Murder.

The preliminary trial of Bill Pegram and Zac Ely, two of the negroes charged with the murder of Richard Cobb and Charles Davis who were killed at Ishkooda on the night of July 10 last, was concluded yes- terday afternoon, the defendants being held to the grand jury under the charge of conspiracy.
 The hearing of the case was begun Sat- urday in the criminal court room at the court house, before Justice J. l.. Harwell Of Ishkooda and Justice H. B. Abernathy of this city.
 The state endeavored to show by wit nesses that meeting was held on the day of the killing at which it was decided by the striking miners to get rid of the ''black- legs" and rested it's case upon the evil dence upon this point, claiming that the defendants were parties to the conspiracy.
 The defense set up an alibi, claiming that at the time of the shooting they were no- where around. The fact that a meeting was held was not denied but 1t was claimed that it was a meeting of the Knights of Labor to which many of the strikers be- longed and that nothing was said or done which connected them with the killing.
 The case was argued and submitted, and after a brief consultation the decision was rendered by Justice Abernathy, who an- nounced that while in his opinion the aibi had been established, there was sufH cient evidence of conspiracy to bind the de- fendants over. He asked further time on the question of bail, which will probably decide whether or not the cases of the other ten negroes will be tried.

two teams that are booked to usher in

The practice work of both teams in
dicates a close and interesting strug-
gle They have been getting out reg
ularly and putting on the finishing
touches. The game of the Stars and
Artillery teams. which was won by
the former team. showed that more
practice would do no harm. AS the
Stars were to figure in the opening
game, they instantly began to get 4
some good hard practice. AS a result
the team now plays much better ball
than it did in the exhibition game.
The Kamehameha team has not
been saying much, but has been spend
ing its time in learning the fine points
of the game. Captain Mahuku expects
that the showing made by his colts"
will surprise a number of people. In
addition to the old standbys of the
