Contrary to general expectation the evidence of the prosecution Is over­ whelming as to hit guilt, if the wit­ nesses are to be credited. An old man Darned Ingham swore that he saw Arensdorf on the spot just before and after the shooting; but the brand of Border is fixed most plainly on Arena- dorPs brow by Harry Leavitt, a pro­ prietor of a variety show and saloon, who 8wore positively to seeing Arens­ dorf shoot Haddock, and to being him­ self one of a party who had plotted with Arensoorf to whip him. His ac­ count of the murder is corroborated by one Fitzsimnons in many important respects. The theory of the defease Is.that Leavitt himself was the mur­ derer and tbty promise to prove an altbi for Arensdorf. 1886. EXPENDITURES. Sept. 7, Peter Wagoner for rent Of; store for election Wm.
