Mi Ionian yesterday, some fort; hours alter death, and submit ted to the coroner's jury last nigat. is as follows: "Wounds: Slight abrasion upon the face over right eye. A lacerated stall) wound upon top of head on lefi side of head, beginning near the suture between Hie parietal bones, and extending out and forward an inch and a half, the beginning being some two inches to Ihe front of the croWn or posterior fontanelle. This wound went through the skin to fascia beneath, which wilh perios teum when scalp was removed siiowed a bruised appearance from the force producing said laceration. There was no fracture of the skull and no visible derangement of the contents i hereof. Qn the right leg anteriorly two inches on inner side of median line of front surface of ihe thigh about four inches below the crotch was an opening resembling the exit wound of a pistol ball. Poste riorly upon Ihe same thigh, about one inch lower down than opening in front, one inch outside the median line of the posterior surface of thigh, was a wound resembling the entrance wound of a pistol ball, in diameter about tee size of an ordinary lead pencil. The wound upon posterior surface was perfectly round, with edges clean cut. The wound upon front was of i at her longitudinal shape from above downward through the skin. The range of bullet, as indicated by these two wounds, would seem to be from back 1o front and from below gently upward. The skin and fascia removed, the muscles of thigh were dissected up down to the track of ball, which track was con tinuous from one opening to the other, as described above. "Otherwise there were no discov eries that would thrbw light upon the death of (his man, except to add that we did find that the femoral vein in the course or track of the bullet was wounded by a notch of half an inch cut out upon lis surface on front side. "Conclusion: If party died shortly after reception of said wound in thigh, that the cause of death would be due to shock from loss of blood, of which therp appeared abundant evidence. That if wound upon scalp were received coincidenily. the force which would produce such a lacera EAR tion of the scalp, protected as this head was by such a profusion of hair, would cause such a concussion of the brain that the shock resulting there from, contributing to the .shock from loss of blood, or vice versa, the two acting together would not be long in paralyzing all the vital organs neces sary for sustaining life." 'Squire lield's Statement. Justice of the Peace R. G. Reid made the following statement today to a reporter for The Evening Times regarding his connection with the Bivens case: "Constable Byrum came to my house Saturday evening about seven o'clock, having in custody H. ,T. Biv ens and asking for a warrant. By ruin said Bivens had killed a man. f came down wilh Ihem to my office and questioned Bivens. There were no witnesses present and no evidence except what Bivens said, Byrum knowing only what Bivens had told him. "Bivens (old me he had pulled a fellow out of a box car; that they had clinched and the fellow knocked him down twice and drew a knife on him and he hail shot him in the leg to stop him. Bivens showed a cut on his wrist. He gave me the following names of witnesses to put on Ihe war rant: J. R. Riddle, .1. R. llissett. W. W. Green. Jr., and Henry Glenn. "On Ihe Strength of what Bivens told me 1 issued a warrant for man slaughter. All warrants are amend able even after a preliminary hearing. "Bivens said he had never been in jail before, and asked if he could not give bail. 1 asked him what he could give, and he said he could give any kind of a bond. I told him he had boner telegraph to his folks, and I com mi I ted him to jail without bail pending further investigation. Con stable Byrum and Deputy Stell took him from my office to jail. On the commitment paper is written: 'No bail allowed.' "About 1 o'clock that night Mr. Pace, of Ihe firm of Womack, Hayes & Pace, representing the Seaboard Air Bine, came to my house in a car riage, and said: 'I see on your com mitment "No hail allowed," but the charge is manslaughter, which is bailable.' I said: 'Yes, sir: I so drew the warrant from his own evidence only, anTJ committed him to jail with no bond, to await the decision of the solicitor.' "He said: 'Come on, get in the car riage and let's go and see the solici tor.' We went and found that the solicitor was in bed, but Mr. Pace gol him up. 1 remained in the carriage, and in a short while Mr. Pace came out and said that Ihe solicitor said if I found it was in self-defense it was manslaughter and bailable, and lie fixed the hail at $1,000. ' From there we went to Mr. Pace's office and he 'phoned some time, and said he could do nothing and would wait till tomorrow. "The next day (Sunday) about 10 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Pace sent a hack for me to come to his office. 1 went, and lie said he was prepared to give Ihe bond. While Mr. Jerome of Monroe and one or two otlyr gen tlemen were fixing up some papers with Mr. Pace. I went downstairs to see if I could find a lawyer to consult, and from what 1 heard I Immediately went back upstairs and refused em phatically to proceed any further in the matter until I could consult with Solicitor Jones. "I went to the 'phone and ascertained that Mi. Jones was at his farm in the country. I so reported to Messrs. Je rome & Pace and told them if they would get a hack I would go with them to sec Mr. Jon - s. three nilleS away, and abide by his advice. "We wen; and saw Mr. Jones. I told Mr. Joins ilia; with his approval only would 1 admit of the bend. Then Mr. Jerome spoke up and said if the bond was not sumelent they would double it. Ml'; Jones I ilea said that he had had some further evidence in the matter and win tion. M 'fciyS thorough Investiga ooe requested t bat the th at the earliest hour pos- vest igat ion be slblc, and it w t fur 4:110 thai afteiv noon in that tin ing an my office. We met and found coro:;er and a jury were hold Inquest over ihe remains. A; thai Mr. Juries Haid we tVO'ild adjourn Indefinitely'." Nichols Says It's Bryson, It is understood thai Waller Y. Nichols, a aiiiter. who lives on North Saunders street, says thai there is no doubt that the man who was killed is V; H. Bryson of Colon, in Chatham county, as H. E. Paul! has said. It appears that a brother of Mr. Nichols lives next door to a brother of Bryson in Colon. No Steps Today. No slops were taken today by the attorneys for Bivens. Messrs. Wonj- ack & Pace and Col. T. M. Argo. it was said at the office of the former that no consultation had yet been possible because Col. Argo wasv busy in court. It is thought by some that an ap plication will be made for a writ of habeas corpus, in order that the evi dence may come out more fully, Bad with a view 1o having the prisoner admitted to bail. A BATTLE MAY REDDEN NIGHT Troops Now Close on the Utes' Heels THE LATTER BOLDER Seeking to Reach Chief Cow Bull of the Clieycniies Crows on the Way (o Join Them Purpose Guessed At lies Say They Will Not Return to Vtuh. (By the Associated Press.) Sheridan, Wyo.. Oct. 30. Colonel Auger and (lie third squadron of the Tenth Cavalry from Fort Robinson ar rived over the Burlington last night and detrained at Arvada, the troops soon afterward taking the field for the front. It is understood that Colonel Auger Is in command of all military forces and as soon as his troops ar rive at the Indian camp, a demonstra tion will be made. The scout sent in from Hie front to meet Colonel Auger reports the arrival of Colonel Kogers, commanding the Sixth cavalry, wno came overland from Fort Mead. The demonstration against the Indians now only awaits the arrival of Colonel Au ger's command which should reach the vicinity of the Indian camp by night. The Indians are becoming more bold. Dock Spear and E. H. Gottings, who encountered a band of thirty Indians w e re fired upon and one of their horses was killed. The Spear round up wagon j was looted by another band of Utes who left the camp cook bound and I gagged and carried off all supplies and I bedding. Old settlers near MoOrhead, Mont., are sending the women and chil dren to places of safety and have turn ed the Spear blacksmith shop into a fort, banking the sides and boring loop holes in the log walls. Colonel Hansel, who was government scout and interpreter In the battle ot Wounded Knee, say the Indians mean fight and gives It as his opinion that they have sent messengers to tfc the aslstance of the warlike Cheyerm'es. The Indians say they want President Roosevelt to glve them the Powder River Valley for a hunting ground and persist in their determination not to bo taken back to Utah. The settlers along the Powder River say that if the Indians are allowed to remain in that vicinity the settlers will organize and exterminate the redtldna in spite of the troops. Die Rather Than to Return to Utah. "We aregalng to visit Chief White Cow Bull of the Cheyennes at any cost and will not be taken back to Utah to starve. We would rather die first," is the substance of the answer of Chief Kannap to the soldiers. The Indians are getting bolder and pay no attention to the soldiers. A tight was almost started last night when an Indian encountered a sentinel of the Tenth Cavalry. The Indian re fused to turn out of the path and rude ly bumped against the soldier. Only the intervention of some cavalrymen prevented a serious encounter, as other Indians came up. As the Utes are con tinually on the move in small bands, cowboys are hired by the soldiers as scouts lo keep track of them. The lat est report from the front locates the main Ute band in the vicinity of B!oor head going rapidly toward the Chey enne reservation. Two more troop trains are reported out of Fort Robin son following the first train unloaded at Arvada this morning. BARGE AND MEN BELIEVED LOST (By the Associated Press.) Alpena. Mich., Oct. 30.
