EASY WAY OUT OF IT
How the Oregon Short Line and Salt
 Lake Road May Settle.

Salt Lake, Nov. By an agreement between the attorney of the Oregon Short Line and the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake road all hearings in the right of way contests which were to begin next Monday at Carson. New, have been postponed ninety days to allow the engineers of each company time to make a survey through a mar row defile of Meadow valley, Washing ton, where it is claimed that but one road can build where a right of way is claimed by both roads. The maps arc to be used in the trial.
 As the United States statute provides that the road having a right of way through a narrow defile such as at Meadow valley, Washington, shall al low joint trackage arrangements with another road seeking right of way, Il is believed that this postponement is 2 preliminary step in the arrangement for a joint trackage over the TAO miles to be surveyed, an arrangement which will greatly simplify the settlement of the right of way contest between the two roads.

with a revolver, saying: George, he's got gun and it's cocked.''
 The rest of the testimony of Cart ledge was unimportanr. He was con siderably rattled at times on cross examination, but his testimony was not materially shaken. It was developed. though. that it differed in one material point from his testimony at the trial or Ewing and Numbers, in which he was asked if Gardner might not have had . gun in his hand at the moment he was
 shot. He then replied he might have had "a very small gun" the obvious
 meaning of which reply was that the gun would have been so small that it would not be seen.
 The witness said that there was moonlight by which objects were fairly
 visible, but so far the subject of light
 has not been greatly dwelt upon by
 either side.
 The defense attacked Cartledge as a
 willing witness. He was asked if his
 expenses had not been paid by the
 prosecution and if he were not en- ployed as detective in the case. He en- tered empnatic denials to all these questions. An inquiry as to his expect
 ed participation in any sum that the Ringing Bros. might pay for the con- viction of Mcdonald was promptly sup pressed. The witness was, however, permitted to say on redirect examina- tion that he knew nothing about any such remunerative contingency and against his will had remained here for the trial and expected to receiye noth- ing except his fees as a witness.
 The territory's case was ended for the present and Attorney George D. Bullard for the defense made a very elaborate statement to the jury of the things intended to be proved. The statement was interrupted once when he said that it would be proved that Gardner was a dangerous man and that Martin and Mcdonald had been so warned. This part of the statement was excluded. though it-was not under stood that testimony on this point would not be admitted in showing that Mcdonald had reason to believe that ne was acting in self-defense.
 The defense put in the deposition of Lee Ewing. It stated briefly that he had been in the employ of the circus for four days. That he quit his job on the night of September 23 and about midnight went down to the show train to bid a friend goodbye. He was struck by Gardner and knocked down and went after an officer to have his assail- ant arrested. He found Martin, who asked Mcdonald 10 assist him in mak- i-As the arrest He told the officers that Gardner was dangerous man and was armed. When they found him he was leaning against a car with his club in his left hand and a revolver in his right. The deponent pointed him out and Gardner stepped forward and pulled his gun down on him. At that instant both Martin and Mcdonald told him to drop the gun. announcing that they were officers. The deponent said Gardner turned toward Mcdonald. struck him with his club and turned his gun on him. Then Mcdonald drew his gun and fireS

Imposes Delay Upon the Release of Miss Stone.

Sofia. Nov. 7.-Yesterday Consul Gen eral Dickinson dispatched a messenger with reply to the brigands' proposi- tion as formulated in Miss Stones let ter. It is understood that an agree ment as to the amount of the ransom has been virtually established.
 The settlement as to the manner and place of payment and the surrender of the captives presents the most diff culty. but an entente is expected soon. The brigands are not willing to cross into Turkey to obtain the money, while the Bulgarian government would op- pose the releasing of Miss Stone on Bulgarian soil.

DEAD STATESMAN Only Chinaman Who
 Understood the West
 LATE Il HUNG CHANG
The Russians So Needed Him That They Sought to Have His Seal At tached to the Manchurian Con vention Even While He Lay Dy-
 ins-. Nke Ceremonies and the Place of His Burial His Native Village.

Pekin, Nov. 1.-The end of Ii Hung Chang was quiet. His vitality slowly ebbed. For a time he lost conscious ness, but he showed great tenacity- He rallied at midnight and became semi conscious, partook of nourishment and appeared to recognize his relatives.
 The foreign doctors left him early yesterday, saying tha. nothing more could be done. His personal physician. pr. Watt. took charge. The controversy between the foreign and Chinese doc tors had no effect on the patient. be- cause he was already beyond hope.
 The flames of the procession of paper effigies of chariots and horses burneI in the courtyard of the Yamen to carry his spirit to heaven told the crowd of officials who gathered in the narrow street outside the Yamer that the end had come. Soon afterward a procession appeared bearing a costly coffin of lockwood beautifully iacquered- This coffin Ii Hung Chang took on his trip around the world and brought it from Canton when he came to Pekih to settle the Boxer troubles. Since that time it has been kept in a temple here.
 The body will be placed in the coffisI tomorrow morning with the customary rites. On Sunday there will be a cere- monial corresponding to lying in statc- All Chinese officers will pay their spects. A separate day will be desig- mated for the ministers of the powers. The interment will be at the birthplace of the deceased statesman, a little vil- lage in the province of An Hui. The day has not been decided upon. A me morial was telegraphed to the court announcing his death and a circular letter was sent to the ministers of the powers. It is expected that when the court receives the news an edict will be issued bestowiiig posthumous honors upon the deceased and probably ad- vancing him to the rank of marquis, which title will descend to his eldest son.
 The death of Ii Hung Chang is doubly regretted because he was the only influential Chinese who could deal with the foreign governments with appreciation of the' foreign point of view. The officials attached to Earl IL household informed correspond ent of the Associated Press today that the Russian minister, Paul Lesar. called early in the morning and strenu- ously endeavored to have the seal Of Ii Hung Chang attached to the Man churian convention before he died. Ir is impossible to verify this statement.

MIDNIGHT ROBBERS.
Wee Nang. Chnaman. Beaten BY Three Foot
Pads-Get No Money.

Wee Nang, brother-in-law OF Chin Sin,
the Chinaman gardner, living alone in
shack about mile to the northwest of
town, was attacked by three men on
Monday night and was severely beaten
besides having his home ransacked.
Nang was awakened by the bark of his
dog along about a. m. and got up from
his bed and went to the door to see what
was the cause OF the trouble. Just as he
opened the door three men rushed in
and commanded him to remain quiet.
One of them hit him over the head with
revolver and knocked him down, and
then two men held him while the other
man ransacked the house. They got no
money or valuable OF any kind, as Mr..
Nang keeps nothing OF this kind about
his place. When they got through with
the search they went away leaving Nang
in badly frightened condition. He de-
scribes the robbers as being two white
men and one negro. 1t twas the presump-
ton that Nang kept his money about
his house, but this he has never been in
the habit OF doing.

him tRichmond) as to look at him.
W. II. Schroeder said that Mrs. Scholes
had told him that Richmond had insult
cd her.
Other witnesses were :. f.. Ferris, Mr..
Gervais, DIR. X. NJ. Gordon, Mrs. Nettie
Richmond, daughter-in-law OF deceased,
John Richmond, a son, and Mrs. Annie
Richmond, the widow. BY the friends
Of the deceased it was shown that Rich
mond was little hard of hearing.
With this the prosecution rested and
the hearing was adjourned till 10 a. m.
today when the defense took mp their
side of the case.
Promptly at 10 a. III. today the exam
nation was resumed. Counsel ii. j.
Snively, for the prosecution, was the first
witness called. tie was asked whether
Richmond had made dying statement
and replied that he had not, as Rich
mond's condition was such that he could
get no declaration from him.
Edward Taylor, who keeps a store in
Yakima, was called and testified that he
saw the shooting practically the same
as the Louden witnesses for the prose-
cution had seen, excepting he said that
as Richmond threw the club Mr.. Scholes
lodged it and if he had not he would
have been hit. The defense sought toslIow
by witness that Richmond had used vile
language in talking to him about Mrs.
Scholes before the shooting. The court
room was cleared of ladies' and the wit
ness repeated what Richmond had said
to him about her. The language was Of
"A threatening nature.
Jack Mcdaniel, saloon keeper, said
that Richmond was in his saloon before
the shooting and used vile language in
talking about Mrs. Scholes.
I. c. Scholes, father-in-law of the de-
fendent, said he met Richmond in the
morning, who told him to shut
his sons wife's d. mouth or he would
shut it for him. They had further words
about their troubles and Richmond made
threats to the effect that the Scholes
"can't stay in the town" He also
made other threats about Mrs. Scholes
and used the most abusive and the vii
est kind OF language imaginable He
(Richmond) told Mrs. Scholes, the wit
ness said, that he would 90 to the sta
ton and kill her husband.
The examination of the witnesses for
the defense closed at 4 p. NJ. today and
an adjournment was taken till 10 Il. m.
Friday, when counsel will argue.

FOR HIS LIBERTY.
Ogden Veterinary Surgeon Will be
Taken Back Back to Answer for
Theft of Surgeons outft.-SheriH
Layne Gone to State Capital to
Complete Requisition Papers.

Sheriff c. E. Layne of Ogden, Utah,
arrived last night with requisition pa
pers for DR.. Coombs, who was arrested
here a day or two ago, on a telegram
from Mr.. Layne, by Sherifs Cook and
Yund, and held to await the arrival of
the officers to take him back to Ogden.
Coombs is charged with the theft
of a lot of veterinary tools from a liv-
cry stable at Ogden. He says the
tools belong to him. but it is said that
he asked the sheriff here tt telegraph
to the sheriff at Ogden that If he be
permitted to continue his journey he
would cave the tools in Laramie. Sher-
if Layne says the tools are worth $3.50
easily. He had requisition from Gov
ernor Wells, but was met on the road
to this city by a telegram from Sher-
in Cook that Coombs has signed an
agreement to return without roquisi-
ton. He decided to continue as he had
started and complete the requisition,
going over to Cheyenne this afternoon
on purpose, and will take his prisoner
back with him tomorrw. He declares
that the authorities at Ogden a east
ly prove that Coombs deliberately stole
the tools from a livery barn INT had
no claim whatever for them. Coombs
is still in the county iail.
