Under the manage ment of Mr. and Mrs, John Oldham, i BIT Of 'LEAD fa Polsil io feniSsoe Horder. Evidence Points t Boy or Drunken (V)an as the Assassin. Plan of Storo ShowB Location of All tho Objects Bearing on tho Tragedy. A bit of a. bullet, found Just inside the room to the rear of W4 A. S. Ver milion's prescription) case, added mys tery to tho we3t sldo tragedy yesterday. Tho minute chip of lead) was resting on a hat brim on top of a shelf Tvest of tho doorway. Coroner Clark U'Jnko it may havo been placed thore by some ono of the officers who picked It up tho night of tho shooting. Unless tho some one who did this materializes, It will bo hard to tell whenco It came, for no marks of a ricocheting ball exist on walls, ceiling or floor so far as can be seen. Tho piece of lead Is about half the length of a 3S-caliber pistol slug, and Is a shaving. It had apparently either dropped or boon) placed on tho hat. Boy or IncbriateP That cither a boy or a drunken man committed tho murder Is the belief of those officials wjio aro Irovestigatlng the affair. The boy theory has been strengthened by the discovery of what seem to be traces of some one either entering or departing via the cellar window. Finger marks and knee prints were found In the dust near this win dow, which Is Indicated In the diagram. Judgo Vermilion, father of the mur dered man, examined the cellar care fully and discovered them yesterday. After the Honey Box. It Is believed that the thief, whose access to the cash register had been shut off during tho week previous, grew desperate ami made an attempt to get to tho tin money box. When attacked by the druggist ho backed' away and fired. The fact that the door from the cellar Into the store was found open when neighbors carne upon Vermilion's body, leads to the theory that the mur derer left by that route. Jinow the Place. The mature of the shooting itself, to gether with a few facts which havo been picked up and not yet given out for publication, make some of the of ficials sure that either a man mad with drink or a reckless boy committed the crime. Such a party must have known the place well and have been accus tomed to enter and depart at somo time or other from behind1 the prescription case. Dr. Beer Saw Nothing. Tho pollco still cling to the suicide theory. Tho department officials ore anxious to find a man who stood across the street, they say, and saw ho one at tho store. This rnan Is probably Dr. W. F. Beer, a well-known Salt Lako physician, who was In the vicinity at the time of the shooting. Dr. Beer In formed The Tribune several days ago that he had seen nothing unusual at the ftore. As he had not, It was be lieved that the information would throw no light on the case, tx tho fact was not published. Clark Still Working. Meantime Coroner Clark is making a close search In the hopo of discovering more witnesses who saw some one. The stories of Dr. Hazel and) Frank Gilliam tally so closely as to leave no doubt that a man. fled from the store after the shot9 were fired1. WILL COST MILLIONS.

Tho greatness of tho project exceeds all that have heretofore been considered. At present thcro aro about 300,000 acres of land under cultivation In tho various val leys of tho Humboldt.

Sensation Caused in Ascoli, Italy, by Issuing of Summons. ASCOLI, Italy, Aug. 27. A sensation has been caused here by the fact that Monslgnoro Santarelli, the rector, Father LudI, a professor; Father Dan gelo, administrator of the Lviminary, and Father OntolanI, the parish priest of Ancarano, have been summoned to ap pear before the court which Is investi gating the theft of the ancient cope stolen in 1892 from the cathedral of As coli and sold to J. Plerpont Morgan. It Is now reported that Father Ra phael Castelli, the parish priest of Of flda, who was arrested on August 20 In connection with the case, has been re leased without ball. It Is said that J. Plerpont Morgan when he bought tho cope Insl&ted on having a photograph of the seller with his autograph on It to relievo him of responsibility in case of trouble. Rocchlglanl, the photographer who was arrested Augusb 17 on suspicion of being concerned in the theft, Issued an Illustrated post card of the famous relic, which caused suspicion to fall upon him. It has now been discovered that the Illustration) on tho post card Is not a reproduction of any photograph taken before the theft of the cope. Consequently Rocchiaianl will be or dered to prove how he obtained the photograph from which tho reproductions- were made. During the search of Rocchlglanl the authorities found the sum of ?3000, which It Is claimed Increases the seri ousness of the case against him, as a comparatively short time ago ho was very poor. Paraguay Government Pnralyzod. BUENOS ATRES, Aug. 27. Thcro 13 a total paralysis of action on tho part of tho Government at Asuncion, the capi tal of Paraguay, tho authorities simply taking f-oblo meamrcs for defense and awaiting developments. Little doubt Is felt now that If a pacific solution is not reached in a fow days tho first deter mined movo by tho revolutionists will re sult in tho eurrendor or downfall of tho Governmont. door behind the prescription case) shows the locality of the chips of leaden bul let found by Coroner Clark Friday. This bit of lead rested! on a hat, which lay on an upper shelf. An open area window leading into the basement, to which Judge Vermilion found tracks leading ire the cellar, is ' Indicated. The rustic seat where Vermilion often sat Ira the evening was directly In front of the eastern of tho two show win dows. Tho belief of Coroner Clark an3 others Investigating the affair is that Vermilion stepped to the cash register to get a stamp, the addressed envelope to Maynard being In one hand and' tho fountain pent iro the other. He heaTd1 somo ono behind the prescription case, and suspicious that he was a thief, ran to the spot He grappled with the mam near the east end of the case, probably forcing him against the partition. Tho man fired, missing Vermilion, and strik ing the cash register. He then backed away into tho doorway opening into the back room anil fired) again, tills shot taking effect. Judge Vermilion is inclined to be lieve that the murderer had entered' through the cellar, via the open win dow, and that this explains tho past j mysterious till robberies. He may have I escaped the same way. DROVES OF BEARS. Aiiimals More Numerous in Yellow stone Park Than for Years. Sncclal to Tho Tribune. VIRGINIA CITY, Mont., Aug. 27.
