of the coroner on a charge OF havin 9
murdered Mrs. Georgia Railey aad
Miss Lena f.Gnner. was held 10 the
grand jury Saturday al -er a prelim-
mary trial that led nearly all day.
The presiding judge was Justice Poole
and the hearing was IN the circuit
court room, in TO which several nun
dred curious persons crowded. Large
numbers of others were unable to gain
adnittance but hung about the court
building throughout the trial.
Nothing particularly new was
brought out in the trial beyond what
was adduced at the coroner's inquest
over the body of the murdered wo-
men. A large number OF witnesses
were heard and the whole story OF
Sherwelrs conduct on the night of the
murders was reviewed. After the
state had introduced IL witnesses the
prosecution rested. The defense stat
ed that il had no evidence to offer and
had no statement to make. The court
then bound the prisoner over 10
circuit court without bail. and he was
taken back TO jail. During the entire
proceedings Sherwell maintained his
usual calm and unconcern and was
regarded as the coolest person in the
court room. The result of the pre-
liminary hearing has strengthened the
general belief that Sherwell is a gull
ty man.

Which Didn't Remonstrate


Which Didn't Remonstrate
Nashville, Ind, Dec. Some of the
men of Morgan county have been
making an effort to establish a retail
liquor house in Nashville for nearly a
year, but have repeatedly met with
organized and almost unanimous op-
position and defeat, the last and re-
cent defeat involving an increased
cost to the saloon men. In view of
the solid sentiment against the traffic
the saloon men ventured to capture
the remonstrance paper, paying over
to the individual circulating the petit
ton the snug sum of $50 on condition
that he destroy the petition in ad-
vance of the day of hearing before the
county commissioners. The money
was collected and the remonstrance
duly turned to smoke and ashes, but
1t developed that the original paper
had been filed in safe hands and that
it was only a worthless duplicate that
had been destroyed.

EUr THREE LIVES Lost
Reported Ferry Disaster At san Fran
cisco Not So Serious


San Francisco. Dec. $50 far as
can now be determined only three
lives were lost IN Saturday night s
collision between the ferryboats San
Rafael and Sausalito. Those drowned
were: W. G. Crandail. secretary of
the Long Syrup works; George Tired
way. a waiter on the San Rafael. and
a 3-year-old son of Mrs. Waller o.
Ross Valley. The body of Crandall
was washed ashore at Angel Island

Mrs. Waller OF Ross Valley was Oh
the San Rafael with her two little
children. boy AMI a girl. The girl
Ruth, was safely carried from the San
Rafael to the Sausalito by William
Boyd of the North Pacific Coast Rail
road company. when the two steamers
were locked together. Mrs. Waller
had the little boy in her arms and
was going below to safety when the
and the little fellow was thrown from
her arms into the bay and sank out
of sight.
Tredway was pinioned by the splin-
tering timbers when the Sausalito
struck and after some difficulty was
extricated. He was hurried to the
upper deck of the injured vessel, and
that was the last seen of him. Ac-
cording to the survivors if there were
more than three persons drowned il
will not be known for several days.
No other persons are reported
missing. At least 200 people were on
the San Rafael. After the boats
struck the Sausalito was brought up
alongside tAe sinking San Rafael Ii
was Is minutes at least before the
latter vessel went down. This gave
ample time to transfer the most of
the passengers. here is a discrepan-
cy in the statements of Captain Trib-
bic of the Sausalito and Captain Nc
kenZie of the San Rafael concerning
the circumstances Immediately pre-
ceding the collision. Captain Tribble
says that the vessels bore on each
others port bows when first sighting
each other, while Captain Mckenzie
says it was the starboard bow.
OF the many heroic stories told in
connection with the accident, notably
is the one relating to Fireman Gle
low of the aSusalito. AS the San Ra-
fael was sinking it was remembered
that her fires were still burning and
her boilers still hot. There was i'm +
minent danger of a terrible explosion
that would have rent both vessels /
asunder. Without moments hest /.
