The state attorney has been busy inferviewing witnesses in the cases against Hill and Babson and he stated that they are due to come up for trial this morning when court resumes. could not say whether the trial would be public, or in_ chambers, as that would rest with Judge Reed. It is be- cause of the revolting detalls connect- ed with the case that there has been any idea that it would be otherwise than public. The accused have not seemed to realize their position during their stays in the court room. The charges against them are grave ones and heavy penalties go with them. One party connected with the case, it is understood, has turned state's evi- dence. There are two charges against the young men either one of which is bad enough alone. It is expected that at this term there BONDHOLDERS NAME COMMITTEE TO SELL PROPERTY. Building and Machinery of Davenport Fis Ams Company to Be Sold by Them.

Gale, Gardiner Hall, Jr., and Amos A. Browning were appointed. This was voted by 4 ma- jority of the bondholders, The committes Will take full charge of the holdings, and to them the bond- holders will all turn over their bonds by the 1st of February, so that they will bave the power to act and close out the property. There seems to be mno chance of the bondholders starting up the business, although it is under- stood that one of them was desirous that such should be done. BABY FOUND DEAD IN BED FROM BURNS.
