symptom OF Strychnlne POISONING. Da-
Wis was a Mason, as was also Lewis
and Louie Cole, who were with him
until the end, and these men both
told the writer that there was no
question of it being a case of murder
by poisoning. Yet, such was the con-
dition in that camp that no one dar-
ed to say word or hint that Davis
death was not from natural causes or
his life would be the forfeit.
Davis death occurred in the mid
die of June, just when the Colorado
was at extreme high water and the
drift wood was running Since most
of the fuel supply for the mill was
procured during this stage OF water
il was a very busy season for all the
whites in the canyon. Mr.. Fuller had
camp ON the river with a large
crew of Indians catching wood. This
camp was established at the big
eldy, about four miles above the mill
where hundreds of cords of wood
were caught and piled up on the
bank A few days after the death OF
Davis. Nash sent Petite to the mill
to look things over and during the
day this worthy put in the time look
ing through the mill, cabins, store
and boarding house In the evening
he concluded to go to the camp OF
Hu,ler and see how he was getting
along with the wood catching buSi-
ing in the morning right after break
fast Observe the incident: another
man eat his last meal with this arch
murderer. The Indians reported that
soon after Fuller had eaten break
fast he was taken very sick, and
soon died with the same symptoms OF
Stry@bnine poisoning that caused the
death of Davis. An Indian came for
Mai Lewis, but when he reached the
camp Fuller was dead.
at would appear that in tracing a
mans evil deed, this would be a
suffice MT Indictment against him,
but l must proceed still further i'm
the career of this man. Petite next,
ii the year 1877, in company of Hams
Godfr:tsen opened a little store at
me mill. AS neither one had eXper-
i4n@e in such business it soon be-
,,ame evident that they would have to
take i'm partner that did have
t:enry Warner was taken in, putting
up the money necessary to put the
concern ON its feet.
1t is known that Petite and Warner
quarreled and Piette backed down
before it came to gum fight, as it
was we'll known that Warmer was
known to be a brave man. But i'm a
short time Warmer disappeared from
the face of the earth, thoroughly ymys-
teriously and effectually, nor was
there ever a trace of him found His
partners gave out the report that he
in a boat with all the firms ready
money to go to San Bernardino ito
purchase shares i'm the EldOradO COM
pany and to purchase goods. AT that
time the only means of travel was
a blackboard lime from Hardyville tC
San Bemardino, or by river steamer.
No trace could be gotten of Warmer
at Hardyville, the stage lime had seen
nothing of him, nor had he taken
passage on the steamer. He had said
nothing to his friends i'm the canyon
of his intention of going out but ON
the other hand had left his business
in such shape that it was unlikely +
would have gone so hlErriedly There
fore, the presumption lis that Piette
had also gotten him. If Warmer was
murdered | wish to say that Hans
Godfritsen had nothing to do with il

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, November 6.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
1 to 10 points in response to higher
cables than expected reports of rain in
the south, and the claims of continued
firm southern spot markets. Realizing
was very heavy at the initial advance
which established new high ground for
the movement, and the market broke to
net loss of or q points during the
first few minutes. Leading trade inter-
eSts were good buyers on this decline,
however. and prices later in the first hour
rallied or , points from the lowest.
The market was unsettled late in the
morning, with prices easing off t a net
loss of 10 to l.; points under continued
realizing and local selling. rade interests
continued To buy al the decline, but prices
were within a point or two of the lowest
at midday. and the absence of any gen.
eral or aggressive demand seemed to in
spirc rather more confidence on the short
side.
Memphis wires state that the official re-
port of the National Ginners' Association
indicates a ginning of S,93O,OOO ~ales to
November i. against the census report of
3,9tn.obo to the same date last year.
Spot quiet; midding uplands nominal.
Estimated receipts al all the ports to-
day, 1000 bales. against I2.J6. last week

year; at Houston, %, 1872 bales, against

After selling off to net loss of II to
II points during the early afternoon un-
der realizing or scattering hquidation
the market became steader on trade

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The course of the Washington stock
market at the meeting today of the stock
exchange was unaffected by the decision
made yesterday at the national election
polls. While the New York market to-
day showed a slight upward tendency. the
trading at the meeting of the local ex-
change. especially in the traction securi
ties. was o ma declining scale which has
been the tendency for some time past.
Yesterday SS was bid for 100 shares of
Washington railway preferred stock with
out bringing out such d block. while to-
day a lot of that size was offered at IS,
but the best bid for it was 81. A quota
ton lot of twenty-five shares sold for S77s,
quarter of a point less than yesterdays
level. Some odd lots sold also at that
price and ten shares sold for ~. At the
close the bid was s7a4 and the asking
price IS.
The bid for the common stock did not
rise above S7la. while yesterdays bid was
ssh. The asking price was so and ten
shares were offered at IS, with 81 as the
best bid.
Nothing was done in the stock of the
Capital Traction Company and the figures
remained about the same. After call a
bid of LIB was made for odd lots.

largely restored the early rise.
