INTEREST IN
STOCKMAN CASE.

Lexington, May 6.--What move
will be made in the Stockman mur-

preme court yesterday to grant a
rehearing is agitating the minds of
many people in this country. Col.
y. /. Graham, leading counsel for
Stockman, was not in a position to
state last night whether another
move would be made or not. The
