M'NEIL ON THE STAND.
Testimony of the Victim as to {
Shooting.

Shooting.
Mrs. May Mcneil, who shot her husband, John
Mcneil, two weeks ago, while in the Golden
State hotel, was taken before Justice Won Tobel
yesterday morning for hearing upon q charge OF
assault with deadly weapon. AS anticipated,
great crowd of spectators was on hand eager
TO hear the details of the shooting.
The first witness on the stand was John Me-
Neil He said the shooting was q cold-blooded
attempt at murder.
II went up to the door OF her room to chids
my wife about being out late the night before
Here goes, shs says, the moment she came to
me, and commenced blazing away with a revolt
yer. When she fired the first shot turned, and
she fred all the other three while was out in
the hallway. The last one took effect. The first
ball went in the ceiling, the second in the edge
OF the door casing, the third went acoss the hall,
and the fourth-I've got!"
DIR. II. Z. Jacobsen was called and testified as
to the nature of McNeiIs injuries. Officer
George Cave testified rs to the manner OF Mrs.
McNsirs arrest.
Here thu state rested. The defense expected
that the state would call a. q witness Mrs. Mac
kendrick, q woman who lives in the Golden
State hotel and is familiar with the McNeils and
their troubles; but in this the defense was dis
appointed. On motion the case was continued
until this morning at 9 o'clock. The woman
win then, in all probability, be put on the stand
by the defense.

GILMAN STRIKERS GIVE IN.
Concede Victory to Mine Owners-Minera
Formulate Co-Operative Schedule.


GILMAN, July 22-tSpecial. THE strikers
here have finally concluded that the victory be-
longs to the mine owners. Some of them are
becoming interested in a project to open a CO.
operative mine. The plan Is to subsidize own
ers of coal lands with shares of stock and put in
stope. This much can be done with the muscle
and capital already in the town. Ii is proposed
to afterward sell shares enough TO buy maehin-
cry, and work the whole affair on the plan of q
mutual benefit organization. committee is
talking the project over and getting data for q
report, but enough is not known by any one TO
forteil the success or failure OF the plan.
The contract price offered for working in No.
seam was incompietely reported yesterday.
The price is so cents per yard and 50 cents per
wagon load of coal.
The disposition of the strikers is generally to
concede their defeat and to look about for other
occupation. One of them applied to Mr.. Parker
today for work, but he informed him that the
mine was turning out all the coal the company
wanted. No new men are being employed. The
deputies are leading an easy, humdrum sort of
existence in daily expectation of being re-
called.
