Systematically raided
But this is not all.
The nefarious rufians who run the

no ex-dive keepers, but will be made
up of law-abiding citizens who have
no axes to grind and no desire for

There is willing and competent evil
dence ready to be offered it when it
meets. Most of the evidence is already
made up in the form of ahidavits
Many men who know the secrets of
the gang are ready to go forward in
the interest of truth and justice.
Among the number is John M. Dow

Mr.. Bowling played cards in his
younger days, but when exbarbers,
blackguards, ex-policemen, and fugi-

jury can rely upon what he says. Mr..
Bowling is Chicagoan and not a car
pet-bagger. He is a man of family,
whose home is a happy and respectable
one, and whose connections are among
the best. Possessed of over $500, 600
worth of property in the community,
he has some interests at stake in com

The Willis Murder Trial.

WAHoo Neb,, May 14-[Speclal Telegram
to THE BEE, AT the convening of the dis
trict court thus morning the case of the
State VS. Isaac Willis, indicted for murder in
first degree was called, and ripple of ex.
citement ensued when it was found that the
defendant was not in court. In about an
hour he put in an appearance and explained
that breakdown on the way had occasioned
the delay. The tedious work Of selecting a
jury took up the time till noon, when eleven
men had been empanelled, and the twelfth
was secured about 3 o'clock. The opening
statements to the jury were made by the at
torneys, and the examination of witnesses
began. The second witness was on the
stand when court adjourned. The testimony
so far has been very damaging to the de-
fendant. The crime for which Willis ls
on trial is the shooting of Jake Grover. near
Valparaiso, last October. Grover and Willis
were having trouble on account of Willis
cattle trespassing on Growers lands. Ref
erees had been selected and time set for
fixing the damage due Grover. At that time
Grover and Willis and the referees met to
settle the difficulty, and Grover and Willis,
who were both armed, began quarreling an
words grew into a war, resulting in Willis
shooting Grover, who died in four or five
fense, Willis claiming that Grover pulled his
revolver first. The state is represented by
County Attorney Simpson, Hon. j. II. Gil
kison and Hon. George |. Wright, while l..
G. Barr, of Lincoln, ex-senator Vandemark
and S. ii. Sornborger conduct the de tense.
The case will probably occupy the courts

by from five hundred to seven hundred
persons at Guthrie and at least one
half that number at Oklahoma waiting for

some of the deputies who were serving with
out pay and who were only there in the
interests of good order, took the fever and
attempted to get a home. AS to myself,
never attempted to homestead n foot of land,
either in Oklahoma or any other territory or

In postscript, Marshal Jones says:
'The country is absolutely quiet. I am
astonished at the false reports of bloodshed
circulated by the papers. There has not
been single person killed by violence in

Terrible Accident M Tacoma Caused
by n Wind storm.

TACOMA, w. T., May iA1-Aoout 8 o'clock
last evening wind storm struck building
which was being erected for hotel. The
structure collapsed, sburying about twenty
workmen in the debris. Hundreds of citi-
zens and laborers just returning from their
days work, were soon at work endeavoring
to rescue the imprisoned men. In few
minntes debris enough TO enable
the removal of one body was taken out. The
body was that of Walter Bates who was
building the hotel. A workman named
Mcconnell and the bodies Of three other
men, unknown, were taken out dead, and w.
II. Smell, city attorney, who received fatal
injuries, was also removed. Several of the
workmen rescued were severely injured, as
was Rev. w. A. Mackey, who had taken
shelter in the building from the storm. At
last accounts the debris was still being re-
moved and occasionally men heard stifled
groans proceeding from underneath.
The storm passed through between the
houses to the street, where II struck a new
store being erected between Eleventh and
Thirteenth streets, and severely injured the
workmen there. Another building in the
southern portion of the city was also demur-
allied. All over Puget Sound the storm was
very severe. No other casualties however,
on land or among the shipping have been re-
ported as vet.

are now IN progress are consummated, the
republicans of Wisconsin will lose their
greatest leader and campaign manager,
Henry G. Payne, chairman of the republican
state central committee, who WILL IN all
probability, become a resident of Chicago

with the corporation which wishes
to engage his services, and finally
decide whether to accept the
liberal offers made or not. The corpora
tion that wishes to put Mr.. Payne at the
head of one of it's latest and most gigantic
enterprises is the Bell Telephone company,

phia, Boston and Washington will be con-
nected with all other points. The Bell COM
panies embraced in this great consolidation
will be those of Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
| Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio and Missouri.
Wisconsin alone will not be in the consolida-
ton, as the Bell company does not control it.

The Kelley Shooting Trial,

MADISON, Neb., May 14.-TSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Interest in the Soulier
and Born trial continues with unabated
earnestness. As was anticipated, the state
rested without. putting Kelley on the stand.
The evidence of the state was all IN by about
IL o'clock this morning. The defense are
making a strong showing by the evidence
that the defendants are not the parties who
did the shooting. About six or eight wit
nesses have already testified as to the de-
PENDANTS being in the city Of Norfolk at the
time of the alleged shooting of Kelley. One
witness swears positively that he was pres
ent at the time Of the assault upon Kelley,
saw the parties who did the shooting, and de
clares that the defendants are not the men.
His evidence remained unshaken, though
subjected to rigid cross-examination.
Another witness testities to having
seen q team answering to the
description of the team driven by
the parties who assaulted Dr. Kelley, and
men answering the description of the men
who did the shooting driving rapidly past his
place short time after the crime was com-
mitted, and driving rapidly in an eastern
direction. The defense have finally sue
ceeded in placing before the jury the death
of the sister of Soulier, one of the defend
ants, through so-called surgical operation.
This evidence was introduced in connection
with threats made against the life of Dr.
Kelley by some of the people of Norfolk who
were present at the time of the inquest held
over the body of Caroline Soulier. A strong
effort was made by the state to exclude this
evidence, but the court held it to be rele-
want, as tending to show that there were
persons, other than the defendants who had
threatened violence against Kelley. 1t is
believed that the case will go to the jury
some time tomorrow afternoon One of the
most important witnesses examined to-day
George the cOlOrpd cook formerly
employed at the asylum. The excitement
