Rail's hardware store with barbed wire, plows, Albron seeder and harrow, grain drill, and ether hardware and oils, he a!s had one of Ames? large portable boiler and engine. The hardware and agricultural implements are for his ranch, the engine for his mill. !! has purchased the ranch known as the Haynes ranch, also the flour mill n the Kings bury Grade, near Genoa. The Senator intends having the finest mill on the coast and will make the best of flour. The State f Vermont should be considered disgraced forever. T hang a woman, as was done at Windsor last Saturday, should d mn any community foreVer. lifjomerang. Tho miserable creature who was hung is said to have sur passed any male murderer ever hung in Vermont in brutality, sordid instincts and low- cun ning. She tortured, starved and killed an innocent little child intrusted to her care. Any woman who would torture a child deserves quick hemp and nothing less. The Yellow Jacket dividend has been rescinded for fear it might not be legal. No lawyer has as yet picked any flaws with the assessments. . THE CO.UIIH TRIAL. The Evidence Tor Ihe Oefenne- Yesterday moaning the de fense opened its case. Mr. Soderberg outlined the defense by stating that they expected to prove that Combs acted in self defense and that Ro?3 was the aggressor, being so by the use of insulting language. ALBERT ECCKLEV, The first witness, testified that he was in the saloon on the night of the tragedy. " I heard Combs ask Boss for some money and Ross replied, r,0 . Unfit to print. Rep. I was quite close to the two at the time. Combs re plied, N' man bru of woman can lick me.' Ross said.If you j make a fight against ino you j won't get away with it.' Combs J said, 'I don't suppose you'll let me have the money if you had it.' Ross said, 'If I had my pocket aill o twenty-dollar pieces I wouldn't give you a quarter.' Combs struck Rass o" er the head and then as Ross rose up he drew a pistol. The two started for the door, Ross (first. G. nibs' foot slipped and ! he fell by the floor ami Ross j j turned and got hold of him. j I Afier the first shot was fired i there was so much sniwke that ! 1 could not see what followed. I j was standing on tho north side j of the room at the time, near ' Combs was very drunk on the ; night of the shooting, lie stag 1 geed as he walked. i CT.OSS EXAMINED. I am a frequenter ot that saloon, too much so I fear. I went over to the saloon from Governor Adams' reception. I was not gambling that night I was near the faro table when I heard the remark made by Ross. I think Jack Wall was near the table. 1 do not know Major Ford. I did not see any cards played. Think Ross had some in his hand, i think Grey was east of Combs. Djn't recollect of having seen Robinson. Ceuld'nt say that Robinson took hold of Combs. Know that Jellersou did. Don't recollect having seen Gus Owens." Witness illustrated the blow giveu by Combs and the manner of Ross' leaving the table. " When Jellersou grabbed Combs he said, 'Hold on Cwmbs, think of what you are doing." Combs had his pistol in his hand." Clarke asked a question rela tive to what the witness said regarding the positions of Ross and Combs as they made for the door. Kittrell infered that he was putting language in the mouth of witness, and a lively breeze sprang up between coun sel. The Court finally called the attorneys to order, as-the re plies of each were getting warm er at each moment. Witness then showed how Combs fell and Ross sprang on to him. After the first shot he saw nothing on account of the smoke. Combs was very drunk that night. UE-D111ECT. l'do not think that at any time during the struggle Combs could have taken deliusjate aim at Ross. Recess for one hour. AFTER RECESS. The next witness called after the reassembling of the Court was, t BCCK M UK PHY, who testified as follows : I was in Sweeney's saloon when the homicide took place. I heard words between Combs nd Ross. I stood by Jellerson's table. Saw Combs walk up and speak to Sweeney near tho piano, he then walked over to Mr. Jeller sou. He asked Jellerson to loan him ten dollars on his gun and made a motion to pull it. Jel lerson said he had'nt got the money. Then he walked over to Ross' table. Ross was play ing cards I think with Dute Cry. An old man was there, don't know his name. Combs asked Ross for money he said he had'nt gat it. Combs said, "No I s'pose you havn't. Neither did I when you asked me for a hundred, but I went and dug it up for you." Ross said, Oh, go off, and If I had a pocket full I wouldn't give up nnnarfpr." Combs said, "No son of a I) ever born of a wo man can lick me." Ross said, " I ain't going to let any man lick me," and here he threw down his cards. Combs said " I can lick you," Ross said "Start in," and then Combs struck him with his cane, with a knob on the end, across the back of th;j head, i then left by the back way. CROSS KXAMI.NKD. Combs was considerably under the influence of hquir. ion t know Ross' condition. MICHAEL O'HARA. "Am a core maker in the foundry. Have lived in Carson sixteen years. Knew Combs and Ros?. Was in the saloon on the morning of the trouble. Was standing at the corner of the faro table. Heard (Tombs xy he wouldn't get the worst of it. Next thing I knew Comb-; hit Ross on tho neeic with a cane. Witness described the struggle on the floor much as the other witnesses had done, but gave a lonsrer interval between the J iji-"tvJ1 111 the strtiarffie. hen the Just shot wai tired there was no dead aim. Saw Mr. Torreyson in his oiliee last Sunday. I told some of my testimony to Mr. Torrey son. Mr. Sweeney was there Mr. Sweeney made cne remark that nude me feel warm. Ho said he didn't thmk I was there, l mentioned the nSine of a man by mistake who wasn't there and he said he didn't think I was there and if so how. I told him I had just come from the Governor's reception, where I had been introduced to the Governor. CROSS EXAMINED. I came right over from the reception to thegambling saloon. 1 had been drinking some, but not enough to hurt. 1 gambled a spell at the table; played a few white chips. CROS3 EXAMINED. ' "After the shooting I stepped up to Combs and said, Jesus Christ, Jim, give me that pistol.' Then a woman came in and said, 'Give ii to me.' 'No madam,' I said, 'you have no use for it.' I got the pistol and gave it to Steam. PATRICK B II ANN AN Gave about tho tame version of the trouble as the other wit nesses, except that he heard (Tombs say to Jellerson as the latter had hold of him, 'I don't w.tnt to kill the son ai a b ; let go of me." Did not see the third shot. No jnau in the world could see it for the smoke. Can't say that Sweeney leaned over the faro table just before the shooting. After the trouble began people were very scarce. CROSS EXAMINED. Was sober at the time. Big Mose was in the look-out chair when the row began. Grey was trying to pacify Combs. I suppose that a dozen men ran past the men when they were scuffling on the floor. After Combs fell Ross grabbed the pistol with both hands. Wit ness and attorney then re hearsed the scene upon the floor. Clarke holding that if the pistol had been against Ross' breast and under him no smoke could have arisen. Dufl'y, Buckley and myself talked this matter over and we all heard each other's statements. Called on Combs one day in jail aud asked him how he felt. Went io to see Gannon, a friend of mine. Always found Mr. Combs a perfect gentleman. THE CHARACTER OF ROSS. Harry Rice, James Duffy and Daniel Kelly testified as to the character of Ross to the effect that he was a quarrelsome man and a figKtor and that his gen eral character and reputation f;r peace and quietness was bad but they had not heard of his ever having shot or killed any body or attempted to. Kelly swore that he had heard of his dubbing a man over the head with a pi;toi. Louis Epstein considered him --a fighter and quarrelsome. Caleb Thompson considered him a man of arbi trary turn of mind and some times hit people over the head with a gun. George Duffy testified to being in a poker game at Jellerson's table. Kelly was at his left and the others he could recollect. Gave a description of the fight much as others had. Ran away, out turned aaer nis money, meeting Ross on the way. Heard Ross say, "Pull your gun, you , I'll get eue." Described the struggle much as the others had done. On cross examination witness Slid he went back to get two dollars and a half. There was a big rush for the door. One man broke Lis leg getting out It was a woo len leg. Recess uUil if o'clock Mon day morning. A Trril" Affliction. Less than two weeks ago II. T. Tucker, a former attache of the Legislature and one of the officers of the State Prison, brought his young wife to (Jar son. They were married in San Francisco only week before last. Mrs. Tucker was but eighteen years of nge, and a woman of more than ordinary beauty and culture. Her edu cation, refinement and modest demeanor won her more friends than usually falls to the lot of a stranger. A few days ago she was taken with the scarlet fever, and yesterday morning at 4 o'clock died at the residence of Mr. E. B. Cutts. Words of con dolence are useless when the hand of affliction falls so heavily upon a husband whose wife is taken from him with the honey moon in the full, and all the world rose-tinged with happi ness. The funeral will take place from the residence of Mr. Cutts this afternoon. A Children' Herntou. At the Methodist Church this evening there will be an inter esting 8-rvice for children.
