Yes sir, and I have never received
cent for it yet"
Collecting For Cahoon.
The story told by Nathan Tanner.
, who has lived in Murray since 1S4S,
was interesting. In order to get en-
ployment for his team, he swears that
ne agreed with Kilgore to pay him so
cents of the $3.50 rate for every day
actually worked, which amount Kill
gore held out in addition to the per
cent. discount
He worked five days in September,
for which he received S14.75. The pay
rolls Show that Mr.. Kilgore got his
nand IN the treasury 1925 worth. In
october, witness received $685., minus
the discount, while the pay roll shows
that 1t required $1,000 to pay him.
Tanner said his team worked four
DAYS In November, and Kilgore told
him that he would have to hold it out
for bill which was due Cahoon. When
the witness protested Kilgore said,
'Cahoon scratches my back and I must
scratch his" The bill was paid, Ca
boon paying back a small balance,
minus the usual per cent. discount.
Eleven Days For KiIgore.
Josiah Wheeler's tale was that he
Der for which he received $1.75 per day,
minus the discount. He worked three
days in December at S1.75. Here again
Mr.. kilgore's pencil slipped. for the
roll shows IA days in that month. Four
teen seemed Kilgore's lucky number,
as this was the second time it was
used on the same roll with several
precincts to hear from
Mr. Wheeler was positive that Kill
gore was wrong in his statement; he
had worked only three days in De-
cember.
William Atwood testified regarding
the turnpike in front of Haynes & Ca
hoon's property. 1t was widenrd at
that point. while a request from Or
son Sanders for similar favors was re-
fused.
w. H. Atwood was recalled and said
he was a school trustee in South Cot
tonwood. He had asked that the road
be fixed in front of the schoolhouse,
but his request passed unheeded. Ca
hoOn & Haynes opera house across
the street, however. received prompt
attention.
William and George Boyces testi-
mony developed nothing beyond the
fact that the usual per cent. discount
was retained from their pay.
KiIgOre Declines to Appear.
At 1910 the court adjourned until $50
when Kilgore was expected. The dep
uty sheriff announcing that he refused
TO come until Monday, consultation
was held and his arrest decided upon
Commissioner Pratt was sent for and a
complaint charging Kilgore with per-
jury sworn to. The warrant was is
sued and Deputy Sheriff Irwin at once
left in quest of the accused.
Kilgore has drawn from Salt Lake
county $11, 90S.S2. This amount repre-
sents moneys drawn from April 1894 to
Jan. l, 1895, with the exception of $500
in January, 1894
He has built a two story house on
his ranch at Harkers canyon, has a
gold watch and wears good clothes,
bearing the appearance of a man who
is at peace with the world as regards
ready money for expenses.
His pay as a supervisor was 81 per
day.
The investigation will be resumed to-
morrow at 1890. Whether Kilgore will
testify remains to be seen. He will be
given an opportunity.

PRAISES MRS. BEEKMAN.
Judge Beekman Says Some Nice Things
About His Wife at the Campfire.

About HIS wife at the Camp
One of the entertaining incidents at
the old soldiers campfire at Hamilton
hall last night occurred when Judge J.
V. Beekman, of Arkansas City, gave the
assemblage a taste of the eloquence with
which he succeeded in making a We'll
lington jury believe that a man was hyp-
Noticed and led to commit murder.
Judge Beekman was from Ohio and he
pretended to be mad about it and said he
came from Illinois. He then told a
thrilling story of charge upon a battery
Mrs. Beekman was in the AUDIENCE,
but that did not deter Judge Beekman
from saying: 1.-The lady who is now my
wife told me when | enlisted that if l
would be brave soldier, she would re-
ward me with her heart and hand when
| returned and she kept her word. She
is the mother of six healthy, romping
children and is prettier than ever, and |
wouldn't give her for car load of the
! painted frilled devotees of fashion in the
| So called society"
The women all clapped their hands
and cast reproachful glances at their
husbands when Judge Beekman said
this and Mrs Beekman was no doubt the
most envied woman in Topeka.
