The appeal was taken on the us- ual grounds of error and in addition that since the trial important evidence has been discovered, a part of it con sisting of affidavits showing that the animal was not the property of Mir. Pearson but that it belonged to one of the affiants from whom Pearson had taken it unlawfully and against his protest.
 The most interesting thing in the case is the manner of the discovers that the animal had been killed, show ing that one of the witnesses for the territory, w. Lund of Nutrioso. is a is a sort of Sherlock Holmes, strong on deduction. One morning he noticed "a wagon belonging to Molter standing near the Molter residence. That wa not a suspicious circumstance. nor hac the witness any reason to believe that Molter had been engaged in an ln- lawful act. But there was a fire be- side the wagon. To the average man that would have meant nothing though he might have wondered why the fire was there. But to the witness 1t meant d great Qeal- The lire IOiQ nm that there was something in the wagon tha. required protection from flies; the witness naturally thought of fresh meat. The witness therefore decided that there was fresh meat in the wag. on and that Molter did not want to bA seen removing it, and so had built a fire to protect it from flies until he could take it from the wagon with out observation.
 With this clue Lund believed that the tracks of the wagon would lead him to the place where the meat came from. He accordingly followed them along the road until they led him in thA direction of an unfrequented locality where he came upon what was left of freshly butchered animal. The cara had been cut off and could not be found, and strips had been cut out of the sides of the hide where the brands had probably bASn.

with the work He has completed the University, Bennett and Q part of the Churchill additions and is now devot- ing himself to Neanr's, Capitol and the Irvine aditions, or that portion of the city west of Seventh avenue and south of the Yuma road.
 The need of this correction of the numbering of the houses has been long felt and too generally agitated to re- quire extended mention as in certain parts of the city the situation was de- cidedly mixed. A few suggestions re- specting the work in hand however, may facilitate the work and help ex- plain matters both for Mr. Doheny and the householders.
 There is one number for every twelve and a half feet on the original town site. but in the additions that are less populous and that will not become crowded for years in the future. there is but one number for every twenty five feet. MT. Doheny carries with him a perfected plat of the territory in wnich he is working, so he can sup ply the exact numbers and know that he is right about it. It is necessary that the houses be numbered, not only for the convenience of everybody but to comply with the requirements Of the free delivery service of the post office. It is not imperative, however that the householder shall buy his numbers of MT. Doheny unless he wants to and he personally is not O bit particular whether he sells them or not. He merely informs the house. holder of the correct number and the urgency for it's being placed at once. If the owner prefers to furnish his own number or secure it elsewhere it Is his privilege to do so. But if he has no serious objections or desire to pur- chase it elsewhere, MT. Doheny, who keeps a supply on hand, will furnish and affix the number at the cost price to the city, which is fifteen cents per number. or more definitely speaking fifteen cents per figure. The numbers are of aluminium, bright, will not rust nor lose color as some others do. This is being done by the city not as source of revenue but as an improve ment at actual cost.

surroundings his first and greatest grievance seemed to be that somebody. he knew not who, had ruthlessly sev- cred his fine riata, without regard 10 his proprietary interest in ft-or a pro per appreciation of it's value. He swore vengeance at once if he should ever learn the identity of the guilty party. AS he was soon apparently re- stored to his usual condition nothing was made public about the tragic itl- cident at the time in the hope that the young mans mind would clear. But it was only a day or so later that fa disappeared from home and was event ually located at the home of a friend of the family on a ranch somewhere west of town.
 Yesterday the asylum authorities were asked to come to the ranch after Clarence, his father in the meantime going to the ranch of his friend after the son. It is said that on the way back to the home ranch, Clarence se- cured possession of a whip of some sort, a blacksnake according to the ru- mored story, and severely belaboreJ his father before he could be overpow- cred, threatening to chastise him more thoroughly when they should reach home. But on arriving there the young man found himself in the custody of the asylum authorities.

the young man and his parents have the sympathy of all, the freakish con- duct of the boy Is nevertheless anus ing. The incident has been known to a number of people for several days but only yesterday was it made public. after the boy had been replaced in the insane asylum.
 On Friday last MT. Grant was driv- ing along the road two miles north oc Eastlake park. in the discharge of his regular duties As he neared the resi- dence of MT. and Mrs. J. M. Hancock he saw a step ladder under tree and near to a wire fence of which the tree formed a post. On the other side of the tree he saw the body of a man suspended by a rope. MT Grant lost no time in mounting the ladder and with his little pocket knife he sawed off the rope. He hated to let the man fall but he labored under the gener- ally accepted theory that a man who is hanged has to be rescued quickly if at all, even taking the chance of a fall, and there was no one near to whom he could call. Furthermore he did not know how long the victim had been suspended and he seemed even then to be dead.
 When the rope was severed the body fell first across the top of the wire fence where it balanced moment then rolled over into the alfalfa. It was stiff and the man seemed to be dead. but as it later developed, he was in d sort of a cataleptic condition.
 The victim proved to be Clarence Hancock, a young man about twenty five or thirty years old. MT. Grant lost no time in calling his parents and the three worked over the young man 1t is said for an hour or so before he was sufficiently revived to speak. though his pulse was soon detected and it was evident from the first that his neck had not been broken. He had tied a booby knot instead of a slip knot in the rope which kept him from entirely strangling.
 But when he did begin to realize his

The Young Han Vowed Vsngance for the Cutting of His Riata Which Sus- pended Him.

B. A Grant, a carrier on one of the rural routes leading from this city, has been having the time of his life the last few days, trying to dodge the time of his ocath, which it was announced would occur at the first meeting be- tween him and a man who had de- clared himself as his would be killer, Clarence Hancock. Hancock5s grievance lay in the fact that he had tried to commit suicide a few days ago by hanging himself with a riata which seemed to be his particular pride. MT. Grant came along and saw him dang ling in the air. In his nervous haste to butt in he thoughtlessly cut the rope instead of sending for help so he could unite it and when Hancock revived sufficiently to sit up and notice things he swore vengeance on the man who had not only interfered with his plans but had also spoiled his best riata. The incident was due to the insanity of Hancock who was yesterday placed in the asylum for the insane, where he had been previously confined, being out on parole. Though the facts are both pitiable and deplorable and both

A MINING CONTEST
 IN SUPREME COURT
A Genine Sherlock Holmes of Apache
 County.

One case was heard in supreme court yesterday, that of N. Matko and others appellants, against August Daley. ap- pellee from Cochise county. Thomas F1annigan for the appellee was given until January 27 to file brief. There was no oral argument for the appel lants by Judge Street. This is a con- troversy over the Bangor mining claim near Bisbee. It was relocated by the appellee on the theory that the ap- pellants had not done the assessment work on the claim. The testimony in the trial court which seems to have determined the verdict, consisted of e. couple of exhibits, statements by the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company by which the appellants were employed. The exhibits were pay cheeks setting forth among other things the number of days for the month in which it was claimed they had done the assessment work, they had been working for the Copper Queen. The names of the appellants were signed to the checks and it was shown that one of them had drawn pay for twenty-six days that month and that the other had signed such c. check though 1t did not show how many days he had worked These ex- hibits were put in to prove that th~ appellants could not have been work ing on the claims in dispute.
 This evidence went in over the ob- jection of the appellants who contend ed that it was improper and the con- tention is supported by various author ities on the subject of indirect and col lateral testimony.
 Several cases were set for trial at an early day. Among them was that of Arch Maxwell and R. w. Molter, aD-

The old McWithey residence in Win
dy Hollow, back Of the Casey, was set
on fire Monday morning by Marshal
Richards upon the instructions from the
city council and board Of county COM
missioners. The old shack during the
past two years was used by the county
as poor house. AS consumption had
been prevalent among the inmates, upon
its being deserted the city and county
officials thought it best to burn the
structure for fear the tuberculer germs
might spread among people who should
enter the place through curiosity. As
there are no people in Gilpin county al
present in poverty stricken condition
which would make it necessary to main.
tain poor house, the burning Of the old
shack was proper. 1t had become quite
an eyesore to the aristocratic residents
OF the fashionable Casey who reside in
large and pretentious dwellings.
