TO KILL COLT.

A Sensation at tho Court of Inquiry in CO.
lumbus-A Revolver Leveled at the Head
OF the Onacer at Washington @. n.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 24.-The particu-
lars of an attempt on the life of Col.
Colt was the sensational feature of FRI
days testimony before the military
court of inquiry. The fact was for the
first time made public that re-
volver had been leveled at the officers
head, and but for the prompt action
of Lieut.. Baker there might have
been tragedy. It was in the after
noon when Col. Colt was circulating in
the crowd. Baker saw a man in the
crowd point a revolver at the head of
Col. Colt. The lieutenant.drew his own
gun and covered the would-be murder
er. The latter dropped his gun and
skunk away in the crowd. Baker testi-
fed to this effect to the court.
Perry Capel, a private in the regi-
ment, told of being overpowered dur
ing the conflict in the afternoon. He
and Sergt. Auld were both overcome
and carried fifty feet. One of their
captors suggested that they Hang the
-" The soldiers were later re-
leased.
James ID. Dewolfe, newspaper cor
respondent. testified relative to con-
versation with Mayor Creamer. The
witness said Creamer's mind seemed to
be befogged and he apparently knew
nothing of his duty under the circum-
stances.
Several witnesses for the citizens
were examined. Frank Kennedy,
county surveyor of Fayette county,
testified to having seen Col. Colt go to
Casey Bros saloon and restaurant at
least four times. Jacob Thorne, an
employee of Casey Bros, stated that he
saw Col Colt take drink of whisky.
Rev. McNair testified to partially
successful efforts to dissuade the
crowd from rash acts. He believed the
soldiers displayed lack of courage in
going into the courthouse.

stoned officer, identified piece of oak
wood and portion of a door lock plate
that he picked up at the base of the

ciples on which He was acting. John
saw that Jesus was loving and good by
what He did to others; then He must
be good to him, even when he could
not understand. (4) The works Jesus
did proved that He was the Messiah,
for He did the very works which the
Messiah was foretold to do. Therefore,
Johns life was a success and not fall
ure. He had succeeded in the great
object of his life, in heralding the new
king and the new kingdom. There
fore, also (5), all doubts were removed
arising from Jesus ways of working,
which were so different from those of
John. Facts answer doubts. So, too,
"a these words of Jesus gave John the
wider outlook, the vision of the coming
Of the Messiah's Kingdom, although he
himself was obscured.
= PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
They come especially in times of
| physical suffering and weakness.
Doubt is not necessarily distrust, nor
sinful, If every effort is made to learn
| the truth.
We should be gentle and helpful to
all sincere doubters, especially to the
young.
Christ is the great remover of doubt.
Go straight to Him. The more OF
Christ, the less there will be of doubt.
He Is worth whole libraries Of argu-
ment.
Christ will solve our doubts. not by
. miracle, but by showing us the evil
dences Of His trut:,

Well" said the boy, modestly,
