will probably be famed. HeymAn ran
around into the yard back Of the tank
and Heil's meat shop, but nothing farther
could be found OF him, 1t was supposed
that he was in celler that had an open
door, but the bystanders would not ven.
ture in TO see. Several policemen
soon heard OF the affair and
searched the cellar and yards unsucCess-
fully. Afterwards Officer Turner thought
Of going into Coulson's paint shop, where
he found an opening into the loft, where
psperiug boards are kept, A step ladder
was leaning invitingly under the opening
and there the officer found his man. He
made no resistance and was taken to the
Mayors office, Stephens made no charge,
but Marshal Oriswell charged Heyman with
shooting with intent 10 wound. The trial
was adjourned till Thursday at 2 o'clock,
and Heyman was liberated on giving bond
in $780, Stephens gave bond for 500 as
prosecuting witness, Stephens was known
here some time ago as book Sgent, en-
