moar Ayres, Jr., the young census Of
flee clerk, killed in the Kenmore no
tel last spring, last night returned
a verdict of not guilty after being

five hours.
The attendance in the courtroom
when the jury returned was limited ia
the members of the bar, representa-

tempt at a demonstration of approval
but this was quickly suppressed by
Judge anderson, who previously had
warned the spectators against mani
festations of any character.
Mrs. Ronine maintained the calm de.
meanOr which has characterized her
conduct throughout the trial and
smiled approvingly when the jury re.
turned it's verdict. Her husband
threw his arm affectionately around
her neck and kissed her.

YVES TERRIERS SILVER

Coolest Weather In Decem-
Der In Many Years.
MERCURY AWAY BELOW ZERO

Many Herders Have Been Frozen to
Death-Snow Slide at Battle Lake
Tunnel-Cabin Swept Away and
Family Has a Narrow Escape.
Cheyenne, wy, Dec. 14.-The storm
raging in the western part of Wyom-
ing for the past 4S hours shows no
disposition to abate. The thermome-
ter is now below zero with a wind
blowing that cuts to the marrow.
Several herders have been frozen to
death in efforts to get their scattered
bands of sheep. The loss of sheep in
Red Desert cannot be estimated, as
the fiOcks are scattered to the four
winds. The habit which sheep have
of taking refuge in railway cuts has
resulted in the death of large num-
Der under the wheels of railroad trains.
Snow plows have been working at
the most threatened points on the I'm
ion Pacific, and though the track has
been kept open trains are delayed six
to seven hours. The stage between
Snake river and Rawlins became lost
last night and for several hours the
passengers were compelled to walk.
One man had both feet so badly frozen
that amputation was necessary.
"A snowslide occurred at the mines
of the Battle Lake tunnel site on Cow
creek. A cabin with a whole family
was carried down the cannon con-
siderable distance, but no one was
seriously injured. The buildings of the
company are buried under many tons
of snow and are much damaged.

Admiral Dewey, president of the
court of inquiry, in his report, sus
tains Admiral Schley at all points and
completely vindicates him from the as
pensions OF his foes. Admiral Dewey
finds that the passage to Cienfuegos
was made with all dispatch; that in
view of his coal supply the blockade
at Cienfuegos was effective; that he
allowed the Adula to enter Cienfuegos
to get information; that his passage
to Santiago was with as much dis
patch as possible, keeping the squad
ron together; that the blockade at
Santiago was effective, and finally that
he was the senior officer at Santiago
in absolute command and entitled to
the credit due for the glorious victory
which resulted in the total destruction
of the Spanish ships.
Admirals Benham and Ramsay, in
their report, condemn Admiral Schley
on II points. The majority opinion
finds in brief that Admiral Sch1ey
should have proceeded with the ut
most dispatch to Cienfuegos and main.
talned close blockade; that he
should have proceeded to Santiago
with dispatch; that he should not have
made the retrograde movement; that
he should have obeyed the depart
ments orders; that he should have
endeavored to capture the Spanish
vessels in Santiago; that he did not
do his utmost to destroy the Colon;
that he caused the squadron to lose
distance in the loop of the Brooklyn;
that he thereby caused the Texas to
back; that he did injustice to Hodg
son; that his conduct in the cam
paign was characterized by vaccilla
tion, dilatoriness and lack of enter
prise; that his official reports on the
coal supply were misleading and in
accurate; that his conduct during the
battle was self-possessed and that he
encouraged in his own person his sub
ordinate officers and men.
