Several old ply sielAns have examined
the man since he was brought mere from

Reynolds was held for the Rraad jury
after the preliminary hearing before
Judge Fowler. this afternoon. The prose-

ternoon. The usual number Of express
wagons, hacks and baggage wagons were
there waiting for the trains. When one
Of the train did come in, the Wells Far

north toward the other teams. Their
running frightened the team on Divers

run. The sudden turn which Divers
team made caused the team on the ex-
press wagon TO run into the back end Of
Stonebraker's baggage wagon. 1t turned
over. threw the horse down and as a
final wind-up took of both hind wheels:
The express team ran north for a few
blocks and were caught without any
more damage. Stonebraker's wagon was
taken TO the shop and the remains OF the
smash-up were soon cleared away.
