AND HIS MONEY,
And Brings Andy Woodson Again Before
the Courts on Very Serious
Criminal Charge.

took place before Justice Baker yesterday
afternoon. District Attorney Bruner con-
Quoted the prosecution, and E. c. Hart ap-
peared for Milligan. The other defendant
had no counsel, possibly because he thought
he had had sufficient experience in Court
to conduct his own case. The result, how
ever, was a dismal failure. The defend.
ants were charged with having taken s45
from the person of one w. II. Hubert,
while the latter was dead drunk at Ante
lope on Friday last.
Hubert, the complaining witness. was
first examined. He said he was laborer
on Mrs. Lindley's ranch, near Antelope,
where Andy Woodson had also been work.
ing. Last Friday witness went to Antelope
with Woodson to get the mail. On We'd
nesday Mrs. Lindley paid witness $50. At
Antelope witness and Woodson went to
Milligan's saloon early in the evening.
Woodson told witness that day that he had
but 30 cents. and wanted to go to dance.
Witness paid for their dinners.
About o'clock that evening, in Mill
gans saloon, witness discovered that he
was out $40 in gold and some silver He
remembered Milligan and Woodson going
through" him in the saloon.
THINGS HE DIDN'T REMEMBER
On cross-examination witness said he
remembered two men having hold of him.
Witness was pretty drunk, but knew that
Woodson was one Of them, and he thought
Milligan was the other. He remembered
being sick, but did not remember that Mill
igan was then behind the bar. Witness
remembered lying on his back and some
body having his hand in witness pocket,
but he was powerless to move. Witness
was pretty drunk when he went to Mill
gans saloon had been drinking during the
day. He did not remember losing S. at
Fishers saloon. Could not say positively
how much money he had when he went to
Milligan's, nor did he remember giving
Andy Woodson $40. He thought he had
probably spent S. during the day before
meeting Milligan, but he knew he had S45 !
when he left Days place to go to Milf |
gan's place.
Woodson asked Hubert if he did not say
to him that he could not trust himself with |
money. Witness admitted that he had |
been reckless at Daly's saloon with his |
money, throwing it about, but did not re-
member having had fight.
THEY WERE AWFUL DRUNK.
William Mckay testified that he met
Woodson and Hubert in Antelope last Fri
day for the first time. Witness said they
were quite drunk. One of them dropped
piece OF money in getting out of their cart
in front of Milligan's saloon, and Wood
son picked ii up. Woodson offered to
treat, but Hubert was too drunk, and laid
down on the floor. After a while they
went out to the platform in front, and
Woodson tried to get Hubert to go home,
but the latter wouldn't go. Woodson then
asked Milligan if he would take care of
Hubert for the night, and Milligan said he
would. Woodson asked Milligan to see if
Hubert had any money, and, if so, to take
care of it, and Milligan told Woodson to
do it. The latter then went through
Hubert's pockets, while Milligan sup
ported Hubert. Woodson replied that he
couldn't find nickel on Hubert.
Witness further testified that Woodson
changed S. piece in Milligan's saloon and
treated several times. Witness thought it
was a $50 piece that fell when the man
got out of the cart. Woodson gave MILL |
gan $40 piece to have it changed. After
ward Hubert became very abusive and
wanted to fight with Milligan.
HUBERT's JACKNIFE.
Mrs. Lindley testified that Hubert worked |
for her, and Woodson came occasionally |
and stopped few DAYS. On the LIST of jan
uary she paid Hubert $50.
Mr.. Bruner showed witness a knife, |
which she identified as one that had be- |
longed to her husband. She had given it |
to Hubert.
Hubert was recalled, and said that on |
Friday he had loaned the knife to Wood |
son, who returned it to him after cutting |
some tobacco.
ROLLING A DRUNK.
David Stackhouse testified that he lived
at Antelope. Saw Woodson and Hubert
there on Friday last. Was in Milligan's
saloon when the men were there, but saw
no money transaction. Hubert was taken
sick and witness saw Milligan and Woodson
standing over him. Saw Woodson going
through his pockets, but saw no money.
Hubert was pretty daunk, and had been
fighting.
HUBERT PUT UP" LIVELY.
Mrs. Lizzie Cannon testified that that she
saw Andy Woodson and Hubert last Fri

four or five dollars. Heard Woodson say
several times that he had no money, and
Hubert would say it was all right, that he
would put up for what they had Wood
son tried several times to get Hubert to go
home.
MILLIGAN ENUMERATED.
William Milligan, one of the defendants,
was next called by the prosecution. Mr..
Bruner said he was satisfied there was no
case against Milligan, and asked to have
the charge against him dismissed, as he
wished to use him as a witness. Milligan
testified that Woodson and Hubert came to
his place late on Friday afternoon last
Woodson came first, and treated witness,
and laid down So piece. The change was
returned to Woodson. Several other drinks
were had, and Woodson went out. Halt
an hour later he returned with Hubert, and
Woodson again called for drinks. Hubert
was very drunk and did not drink and
soon became sick and vomited Then he
fell on the floor and asked Woodson to
take his money and keep it. Witness
looked at him while Woodson felt in some
of his pockets and said Hubert had no
money.
ANDY BECOMES FLUSH.
While they were drinking Woodson
gave witness S20-piece to change, and he
went to Lou Davis place and got it
changed. He spent % cents with Davis
and then took out the price of the drinks
and returned $40 and some small change to
Woodson outside the door, as the latter
nudged witness to go out. When Woodson
gave witness the $40 he had it covered
with his hand on the bar so that others
could not see it.

testified that all he found on Woodson
when the latter was arrested was jack
