A nOid.Up.

The Wichita Eagle gives quite an
account of the robbery of Engineer
H. Balling Tuesday night in that city.
Engineer Balling is well known to the
railroad boys here and tOmany Others.
as he runs through this city regularly
to Caldwell 1t appears that he had
a fear of bank failures, since he had
lost quite a sum of money in one and
hence his reason for carrying any
great amount Of money on his person.
The more exact reason, we learn
from railroad employees, was that he
wished to invest his money as soon as
he arrived at Wichita and thus bring
profit to himself and avoid bank fail
ures.
Accordingly he cashed his check for
$500 at Caldwell which with the $500
he had in his possession, made $3.50 of
which he was robbed last night. He
had just arrived at Wichita with his
train and after putting his engine in
the round house, he started for home.
He had not gone far, however, when
he heard some one call to him, and on
coming nearer, the man asked him
for a quarter. During the parley
which enSued, two more men stepped
out from hedge near by, and one of
them presenting two six shooters. the
other went through the victims pock-
cts and relieved him of his money.
The robbers then disappeared in the
darkness. No clue to their identify
or discovery is yet known. Engineer
Balling noticed a man watch him
closely at Caldwell when he cashed
his check and thought possibly he had
been followed from that city, but
Conductor Loosely who was in charge
OF the train said that no one was
aboard whom he did not know. The
Wichita police are hard after the
robbers.

on the train and one was somewhat
overdOsed with the the white mans

Gated condition, his "big injun"
blood began TO boil and before any
one could realize what was about to
be the consequence, ne had presented
two six shooters to the view of the
terror stricken passengers. This had
happened before the train pulled out
OF Chanute. The news agent made
the remark at Chanute that the
officers ought to take charge of these
Indians, and he Immediately started
out to see If he could find an officer.
But none was in sight as it was then
about two O'Clock at night. The bad
Indian started after the news agent
to stop him, but the newsman was
wary and dropped back on the sleeper
to avoid his pursuer. The Indian
then returned to the coach, and find
ing Brakeman T. T. Norvell living on
a seat, he ordered him to get up and
light the lamps which he THE Tndianj

his A calibre revolvers. By this time

fear, while the Indian continued his
target practice.

The Mcdonald Case

The trial Of the case of tae State
VS.. Thomas Mcdonald was commenc-
ed in the district court Monday af-
ternOOn. The panel of regular jurors
was soon exhausted. OF course. all
those who had served on the GRAY
case were incompetent They had
heard McDOnald's evidence. The
other regular jurors had read the
newspapers, had formed opinions and
were incompetent.
Consequently Judge Burnette order
ed a special venire of thirty-six tails
men summoned. He selected them
from Walton township because that
is the most remote portion of the
county not yet drawn upon in these
cases and nearly all the people in that
vicinity trade at Arkansas City and
comparatively few Wellington news
papers are taken there. Court then
adjourned until tomorrow morning at
nine O'Clock. The sheriff's force is
out today summOning the talismen so
as to have them here in the morning.
County Attorney Carver is alone in
the prosecution of this case. McDon-
aid is. defended by Judge John G.
Woods of this city and Hon. J. V.
Beekman Of Arkansas City. We are
Informed that they propose to make
determined fight in the case to acquit
their client.
The selection of the jury proceeded
upon the recOnvening of district court
Wednesday. The Walton township
talismen were on hand and, as expect
ed, had not heard of the Gray case.
The impaneling of the jury has not
been completed but jury will doubt
less be completed today.

Gray was placed in jail last night
at about 1915 o'clock.
The defense will make a motion for
a new trial, which will almost Ger
talnly be Overruled. The only SEN
tence that can be pronounced in that
case is death, which means practi.
cally life Imprisonment. The case is
sure to go to the supreme court in
that event.
Thus ends the most remarkable
murder case ever tried in Sumner
county. The case has been remark
able in more ways than one. There
were fever objections made by the
attorneys on bIth sides put together
than you usually hear in a s. case be.

evidence was remarkable. The most
important witnesses for the state.
those upon whose evidence the prose-
eution had to rely for conviction ad.
mltted that at the cOroner's inquest
or at the preliminary hearing in this
case they had sworn falsely as to the
facts in the case. But their explana-
tionS why they did so seem to have
satisfied the jury so fully that they
felt justified in believing that their
testimony on this trial, corrob?rated
as 1t was by facts and circumstances
proved by other witnesses. The case
has been ably prosecuted, and defend
ed with at least equal skill and abil-
ity. Judge Burnettes rulings and in
structions were impartial, just and
more than ordinarily satisfactory to
both sides.
If in the eyes of his CID, Anderson
Gray is not guilty as charged he is
the victim of an unkind Fate. He is
in durance vile today not because he
failed to have a just Judge, an impair
tial jury, and able, faithful and zeal.

The jury took only one ballot.
Their time in the jury room was con-
sumed in reading the instructions of
the court, marking and rereading
those portions that were not entirely
clear to each juror. When this was
completed a ballot was taken and
each juror voted for murder in the
first degree.
An interesting question has arisen
in connection with an appeal of this
case. IL must be by a bill OF excep-
tlons, which must be allowed during
this term of court. The term expires
on the 3lSt inst, and a new term COM

No other mortal can read Mr.. Davis
