Ilo hid a cun- venation with MoBain in , Juno , 1883 , when the latter said ho nnd Hubbard owned a quarry , but wanted thai [ fact kept quiet es ho was then at work for the Jasper atone quarry. [ To the objections by Mr. Goodwin , of the question , did the witness circulate n petition for Sioux Falls gaanito , Mr , Lake said ho proposed to show that the money received by Mr. Bohm was in compensation of such services for Hub bard. ] Witness got a letter from Mr. Hubbard engaging him to do this sorvlco , the letter : tor bo\ng returned July ! ) th.

Know MaUuin , Mot Hubbard first in May , 1883 , nnd MoBain in November or December , 1883. Ho had agreed with Hubbard in July to help him circulate petitions jor his pavement. This wan a verbal agreement audufturward a written ono was entered into. At first ho spent over half his time , aud later in August his whole energies vroro turned in that direction. Ho was to bo paid for his services and If successful was to have 10 cents per square yard. The writ * ten agruoiront was entered into prior to September Cth , aud hu kept it until it u : was ctiantjea to Mr , Baldwin in Decem ber. Thu contra t with witness was burned in the Millard Hotel in presence of Hubbard himself. His contract prom ised to pay him 10 cants per tqutro yard for all Sioux Falls granite put iu by Mo- Biin t Co. ana did not exclude the street contract. The now contract with Baldwin wus the same UH the ono with him except the street car track was not included. Ho wo ked for MoBain & Oo. until January , 1881 , and secured Sioux Falls granite for eovural streets and alloys Witueis devoted from eight to fifteen hours par day , and worked all day Sun- day. He solicited openly under this contract. Ho never had a conversation with Mr , McBain relative to doing any thing for their company m the city conn- oil. Hu received several letter * from Hubbard , which wcro afterward de i stroyed at Hubbard'a solicitation , The money ho received ho considered was in payment of the work done by him fur thom , Ho never received money from ihom for anything cleo , and never voted for Ihom upon any moaauro In the coun cil for which ho had bean paid or promised , Ho never voted for the ap proval of any other contract or material than these which in his judgment wcro for the boat interests of the city.

Ho received about Oct. Oth 8200 from Hubbard. Ho had canvassed the prop erty owners on Sixteenth , Harnoy and other streets prior to that timo. Wit ness had had throe contracts. His first contract was made in September , 1883 nnd was torn up on Hubbard's suggea tlon. Ho did not succeed in getting any streets for Sioux Falls , but ho received 8725 forwnat ho had done , $300 of which ho turnnd over to his partner , and the balance ho kept and spent in adver tising nnd advocating Sioux Falls granite as n pavomont. Ho paid the Dispatch 8125 for advocating this p vomont. The street car company had laid some granite , but ho did not know whether the Jasper Stone Co. or McBain fc Co. furnished the material. Ho once had consulted an attorney about the propriety of circulating petitions , and being told that ho ought not as a councilman to do so , ho accordingly had changed the contract to hU partner's namo. Ho did favor granltu in the council , but it was because ho thought it the best material. A councilman , as such , could not USD his influence to adopt A material. Ho might have said to Rlloy that Mo- Bain and Hubbard would arrested when they came down here , but ho had refer1 once when ho said this not to their crim inal rotations with him , but with Loodor and Kaufman. Here court adjourned upon suggestion of Judge Neville. Mr. Godwin said it would take a great portion of to-day before f fore ho concluded the cross-examination of Mr. Bohm.

Ac mo of heartless cruelty to an ani mal was [ discovered yesterday about 3 o'clock. Atolephono message totho city jail stated that a horse was standing tied to a post on Fifteenth street between Tones and Loavonworth streets , and that the animal had been standing there since early Monday evening. Officer O'Boylo was sent to BOO about the matter , and found the animal as stated. The poor boast was all gathered together in a heap , and was shaking as with the ague. It had stood out in the cold nil night without the protection of a blanket , and the light anew had fallen upon its body and molted as it foil until thn animal's hair vraa dripping wet. The officer took the animal to C.iao'a stable on Thirteenth ntrcet and ordered it properly cared for. The owner has not yet boon found , and doubtless is indulging in a spree at some grogcry , while the pour , faithful boast was left to the moroy of the dements.
