STEEL

Jury Out but An Hour and Half,
Snipes Jury Was Secured
This Afternoon.

In less than 80 minutes the Jury
in the Adam Steel cattle stealing case
returned verdict of not guilty this
afternoon, and the defendant was re-
leased
The decision was no surprise to
many who crowded the courtroom,
as it failed in the same particulars
that the William Steel case did to
prove actual guilt on the prisoner.
The charges of the defense, that
the whole case was a frame-up to
send the Steels to the penitentiary,
were evidently believed by the jur-
ors.
The arguments occupied several
hours. Court adjourned last evening
with two addresses to the jury still
undelivered. and these we're heard
this morning. Messrs. Weiser and
McClint9ck for the state and Fry and
Welsh for the defense eloquently
pleaded for their contentious before
the panel.

Coroner's Jury Finds Cause of
Death to be Unknown; No
Suspicion Attached.

The coroner's jury in the inquest
over the remains of Golden A. Reess
found that the deceased came to his
death from causes unknown. No s,is-
picion attached to anyone, and. while
there was some doubt as to the die
ease which ended his life, there was
not any evidence whatever of foul

post mortem which preceded il, was

friends OF the dee eased: but the cor

vestigation be carried on
Although every vital organ was
examined by the surgeons perform
ing the autopsy. they could find no
abnormal condition. At no time was
there any reason to believe that
Reese died from other than natural
causes or that his companions were
in any manner concerned with his
demise
Coroner Yunker was very anxious
to ascertain who failed to call him
when Reese died. He also asked who
called the undertaken
The jury appended to its verdict
the recommendation that the law in
regard to the removal of dead bodies
be strictly adhered to in the future.
Mr.. Yunker insists that his position
is more important than the public
seems to think and that in all cases
where any doubt exists as to the
cause of death that he should be
consulted.
