EVIDENCE FOR REBUTTAL
The hearing of the rebuttal testimony in the LONG trial began yesterday morning. A large number of witnesses were called, and a vigorous effort made to impeach the testimony offered by the defense. ... (testimony from officers first on the scene; testimony about the state of LONG's appearance in the days before the shooting)
INTERNAL REVENUE CASE
Max EHRHART, who recently sold the Peerless saloon to WALSH Bros., was before Judge WILLIAMS yesterday, charged with failing to sufficiently destroy the revenue stamps on a whiskey barrel which he had filled with water. When he sold his saloon to WALSH Bros. he delivered one barrel which was supposed to contain whisky, but which later proved to be filled with water. An examination of the revenue stamp proved that it had not been destroyed, as is required by law, and from its perfect condition led the purchasers to believe that the barrel was an original package. The attorney for the defense hot being ready to proceed with the trial, the case was postponed until Monday, the prisoner meanwhile being placed in the county jail in default of $2000 bail.
FROM LAUREL
--Mr. J. R. JENKINS is making extensive improvements. He will have about fifty acres of land under cultivation this year.

Mr. CANTREL had lived in this county a great many years and was about 80 years of age. He has one son in San Francisco and another in Portland, who are said to be wealthy. The old man, having been very feeble and helpless for the last two years, was compelled to depend upon and live with Mr. and Mrs. MILLER, to whom he bequeathed all he had as compensation for their kindness. Being a staunch infidel, and by his request, there were no ceremonies at the funeral, which occurred Tuesday at 2 o'clock p.m.
