KO ONE CLAIMED HER.San Francisco, Oct. 25. Liliie Kilsby

THE CRONIN TRIAL.
Chicago, Oct. 25. The taking of evi-dence on the identification was resumedin the Cronm case this morning. Theidentification is vey perfect and verypositive.
The next matter taken up was the find-
ing of the body in the catch basin by twosewer-cleaner- who notified the poiice ofthe fact. The policemen who were sentout and assisted in removing the body,were sworn as to this point, and describedthe proceedings. Lawyer Forrest, for thedefense, made the n onthis head very searching and rigid.
They were followed by Dr. Lewis, thedentist, who made a set of false teeth forCronin. He identified the plate takenfrom Cronin's mouth as the one he hadmade. He said that a cast for anotherset exactly fitted the dead man's mouth.A recess was then taken.
At the afternoon session. Dr. Egbertstated the facts revealed by the autopsy,describing the wounds at great length,and giving it as his opinion that deathhad resulted from them. All of thewounds were on the head, but the skullwas not broken, except that a small pieceof bone was chipped off at the corner ofthe left eye. The stomach and some ofits contents were exhibited, and Dr. Eg-bert said that Cronin was killed withinthree hours after having eaten. The
of Dr. Egbert devel-oped the iact that none of the woundswere such as would necessarily causedeath. It was Impossible, he admitted,to say whether the wonnds were inflictedbefore or after death. If death bad re-
sulted from the skull wound it would, inaU probability, have been caused by con-
cussion of the brain. The question wasput to the doctor: "Is it not scientificallytiue that the physicians found no evidence in that body that were certain andconclusive of the cause pf death?" Dr.Egbert replied: "That is true." He wasof the opinion that death had occurredthrough excessive loss ot blood, but therewas no certainty of it, he said.
Dr. Ferkms, who assisted in the postmortem, thought that death resulted fromconcussion of the brain. That organ,however, was too much decomposed toafford any iu formation.
IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS MISSING.

has no clue as to bow the papersdisappeared. It is said that if the miss-ing documents are not recovered it mayresult in the loss of many thousands ofaol.ars to the county.

A CLEVER SWINDLER.
Tacoma, Oct. 27. A number of theprominent business men of tbe city havebeen victimized by a clever swindlerknown as Lucius Reynolds, who disap-peared during the past week. He ar-
rived iu Tacoma last spring in an "utterlybroke" condition, and sought employ-ment as a carpenter of a contractor notedfor his sympathetic disposition and de-
sire to give the needy assistance. Tbenewcomer soon evinced enterprise by tak-ing contracts on his own account.

on Saturday.. He said thut when thehorse came hack, at 9:30, he was putiingand gaye evidence of having been harddriven. ' Tbe buggy was covered withsand aud mail.,
Mrs. Coaklin, at whose boose Dr. Cronin last lived, was tbe next wituess. Shetold at great length and with minutenessthe story of how Dr. Cronin was calledfor by a man, who ostensibly wanted himto go to attend one of P. O'Sullivan's icemen who had been hurt. This was onthe evening of the murder.. She identi-fied tbe horse and buggy in which be wastaken away as the white horse and topbuggy Uken from Dinan's livery stableon an order from Detective Dan Cough-lio- ,
one of the prisoners. She also de-
scribed (he interview that she had withP. O'Sullivan on the following day in tbepresence of a Pinkerton man. O'Sulli

THE WICKED WAVES.
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 27. The schoonerGeorge T. Simmons, ot Camden, N, J , waswrecked off False cape in a storm lastWednesday night. When the vessel wasfirst seen sunk in the breakers by the
crew Thursday morning fivemen were lashed in the rigging. One byone the doomed men bad been sweptaway in the sea. Last night two wereleft and at sunset this evening only oneremained, and undoubtedly he will sharethe fate of his ship-mate- s before morning. The life saving ciews watched anopportunity to go to the rescue, but thesurf has run too high for the boat tomake an attempt at relief.
A large three-maste- d schooner, flyinga flag ot distress, is ashore three milesoutside of Oregon inlet. Assistance willbe sent from here.
Tho schooner Lizzie Iloynesi, lumberladen, from Savannah to Baltimore, hasbeen wrecked on Bodie's island. Thecaptain and steward were saved. Fivemen were drowned.
Mrs. Couklin'sbrought out tbe fact that within a fewdays after the disappearance of CroninPolice Captain Sbanck brought Dinan'swhite horse and buggy to her house foridentification, and that she had failed toidentify the animal. On the 25th ofMay, when the animal was brought by areporter, she identified it. Mrs. Conklinaccounted for this by saying that the cir-cumstances of weather and light weredifferent at these times The reporterpresented the animal under similar con-ditions as when tbe doctor was drivenaway. The cross examination lasted un-
til late in the afternoon.Charles Beck, the reporter who drove
the horse to Conklin's house when Mrs.Conklin identified it, merely testified tothis effect.
Sarah McNeary, who was in Dr, Cro-
nin's reception room when the mysteriousman came for him, gave a description ofthe individual tallying closely with thatgiven by Mrs. Conklin.
Dr. Cronin's brother from Arkansas, tes-
tified briefly to having identified the Lake-vie-
corpse as that of his brother.Then Conklin, the saloonkeeper with
whom Cronin resided, was recalled, andtestified to starting out the first morn-ing of Cronin's absence to search for thedoctor. At P. O'Sullivan's house the iceman was seen, and denied having rentfor him, or that any of his men had beenhurt.

Hnlclde Near Prineville.Ochoco Review.
Last Monday morning Henry Stevenscame to town after the coroner, stating that .
his brother, Emor, had shot and he supposedhad killed himself at the residence of hisfather who lives at tbe foot of GrizzleyButte, aboot 15 miles from Prineville. Dr.Belknap, coroner of Crook county, went tothe scene of tbe tragedy and found youngStevens yet alive, though in an unconsciouscondition. He learned the following partic-
ulars of the tragedy: Emor got np just be-
fore daylight and stated that be had notslept any during the night, and that he be-
lieved be would shoot a dog that had beenbarking. At the same time he was noticedwriting on a slate. Ho stepped out of thehouse and presently a pistol snot was heard.Other members ot the family who had gotup by this time went to the door ami sawhim lying about ten feet from tho house.Ho bad placed the pistol to the right tem-ple and tired, the ball passing through thefront part of the brain, lodging nnder tbeskin on the left side of the head. Examiningthe slate on which ho had been writing justbefore leaving the house, the following notewas found: "lam of no nse to anybodyhere, and I rm too wretched to live anylonger, so I will end it with my own hands.Goodbye. Don't fret about one who is notworth it."
The unfortunate young man lingered un-til Wednesday afternoon, when life departed and the death which he had courtedat his own hands came. He was almost 21years of age, and waa of rather more thanordinary ability, waa a constant reader andwell informed on general topics, but for annmber of years had been of a morose dis-
position, avoided society and seemed averseto strangers. He uever bad any trouble.and had shown no signs of a derangedmind, so the cause of his self detraction isa mystery.
Fighting Fire la the mountains.While the great and destructive fires were
raging and roaring in the mountain, HarryWintler and W. N. Jorgensen at IkeKlopp's miner's cabin in Grant county, Or.,were right in the midst of it Tbey say itwas a grand, yet awful sight, to see theangry flames leap from tree to tree, run oplike lightning, dovonring every branch andmaking a fearful noise. Harry gazed atthe strange panarama for some time. Fi-
nally, remembering bis partner's cabinlittle farther down, he said to his compan-
ion: "Jorgensen, let's, go down and saveIke's blacksmith's and mining tools, whileit is yet time." They went, and fonnd thecabin surrounded by fire and destruction.After putting all the tools in a cart andrunning it into a tunnel, they returned tosave the cabin, and while Harry stoodstraddle oyer a little brook, getting wateras best he could, a limb of a tfcjp camedown, hit him on the head, cracking tbeskull, and the blood rushing from thewound, run over his face and blinded him. 'He called for his partner, who was cut offby tire, and bare-foote- yet he rushedthrough the heap of burning coals, fire andsmoke, burning bis feet dreadfully. Harrywaa helplses, although still conscious, andit kept Ike busy fighting tire and save bothfrom a horrible death. They finally reached the other cabin in safety, but the nextmorning Mr. Jorgensen's eyes were swollenshut, aud bis feet full of blisters. Mr.Wintler was also a rore sight to beholj, and hthere they were, alone in the world, hidaway in the mountains, with no one to helpthem or cook for them a bite to eat; yetthey managed to reach the valley and bothare all right again by this time, but theiradyenture in the mountains on that awfulday, will remain a green leaf in memory'svarigated wreath, aa long as they live.
