When the case of Dr. J. M. Evans of Phoenix is concluded if it ever shall be concluded the newspapers of Youngstown and the courts of Maho- ming county. Ohio. will be lonesome The doctor wrote friends here that he expected to be at home shortly That was some weeks ago and according to the latest advices from Youngstown h.s Pittsburg associates of the Keystone Copper and Gold Minig company have not relased their grip on him. It was mentioned ;n these columns some weeks ago that the probate court had decided that the warrant Of extradi- ton issued by the governor of the state was invalid and that Dr. Evans was entitled to his freedom. An appeal was taken from that order but when Youngstown was last heard from the attorneys Of roth rides of the case could rot agree on the bill of excep- tions and there was no assurance that they would ever agree. It was only predicted that the question O the legal ity of the warrant would not stoD on the hitherside of the circuit court.
