The magazine of witness Marlin rife

The magazine of witness Marlin rifle
held eight cartridges.
In looking for the camp witness had
loped once over to a point to look for
the camp. Wall and Coleman were
mistaken when they said no Looping had
been done until they sighted the camp
Had his gun so it could be pulled out
almost as quickly as a pistol. He saw
Ike Stanton standing near the fire
The first he heard was when some one,
he thought it was Dave Milton, say
Halt. stop, throw up, there, YOU
Witness gun was brought in and MT
Evans asked Warner TO take 1t and
illustrate how he did during the shoot
ing The witness took the gun with
tender as fathers in handling his
first babe. He awkwardly sighted out
OF the window over the reporters head
q time or two, but this did not satisfy
Mr. Evans, who wished him to go
through the movements OF loading and
firing The prisoner did so, and ap-
parently with considerable awkward
ness-not at all in the desperate style
which some looked for.
Witness said the parties in the tent
were shooting in all kinds of ways
They shot several times through the
tent. He did not intend to kill them.
Shot just TO quiet things as much as
anything.
why did you say to Mr.. Swift,
You're all right; come out of there
with your hands up?'"
Il was glad to say anything. Every
thing was all right SO far as 1 was
concerned, if they would quit 1t
seemed 10 me there were men all over.
Melton had a wound under the left
arm. He dressed the wound by ripping
the side seam of his undershirt. Mel
ton had walked out few steps before
falling down.
Witness was not afraid of being
lynched until after he got in jail. Then
he mentioned it to the Sheriff. Witness
recognized the pants worn by Dave
Melton, thus contradicting Wall
Redirect: Coleman rode so slow it
was tiresome to ride behind him;
hence he and Wall took the lead.
Mr.. Wall was recalled and denied
as having been made by Warner, to the
effect that they would have to shoot
like hell, etc.
Were you ever arrested before?"
asked Mr.. Evans. Witness hesitated a
long time and finally said: Once; in
VernaL"
WAS that the only time?"
After another long pause, the wit
ness said:
mo. SIR
Mr.. Evans-why did you think SO
long?
4 wasn't thinking, was u"
Mr.. Evans-I don't know; call it hes
itating. then.
Iowa Hall, in rebuttal: Saw the
dead horse Jacob Evans and Mr..
Searles were present.
Judge Powers objected to further
testimony on this line, saying that the
subject of the dead horse had been con-
cluded.
Mr.. Evans argued that he wished
now to contradict proof introduced by
the prosecution about the horse having
shoes on at ALL and not TO introduce
any new testimony about the form Of
the tracks.
Judge Rolapp allowed the testimony
to go in.
Mr. Hall said the horse had shoes on
both front feet. One which he had
cut off was produced.
The defense objected to all this testi-
mony as not being rebuttal

A LITTLE PLEASANTLY.

Judge Powers called Mr. Evans at
tention to the fact that the prosecution
had not yet proved that the horse was
dead.
Mr.. Evans intimated that they had
proved about everything else which
they set out to prove. The defense
ought to be satisfied, but he would
prove that the horse was dead, and
he proceeded to do so by the witness.
Court adjourned for dinner, and on
reassembling in the afternoon Judge
Powers said the defense had inadver-
tently omitted an important bit of tes-
timony, and asked to be permitted to
submit a certified copy of the last will
of Dave Melton. It was dated May 4.
The purpose Of the Introduction of this
testimony was to show that Melton
was preparing for a desperate venture,
and hence made his will.
The document was put in evidence
a follows

know who the men were up on the
mountain. Did not mention Dave Mel

Denied that he had said to Mrs. Cole
man that he would have to shut up
shop if he testified to the truth De-
MED that he had recommended Warner
to Coleman.
Mr.. Holloway was recalled. Said
he was present when Melton wanted
to make a. statement
The defense objected to the introduce
ton of such testimony at this stage, but
the objection was overruled
Witness said George Searles was
there. Melton had said he was going
to die and wanted to make a state
ment before he did. Searles recon-
mended Holloway, the coroner, and
witness had asked what had led up to
/ the trouble. Melton had then said:
He promised to give me $500 to stay
off this trail for ten days.
Witness had asked:
who promised?" and received the
reply, that Coleman did. Melton went
on to explain the cause of the rivalry.
He and Swift had both found valuable

pushing to locate the same lead.

WHEN TIE TEACHER GETS CROSS.


When the teacher gets cross, and her brown
eyes get black, -,
And her pencil comes down on the desk with
whack,
We chilluns in class sits up straight IN line
As if we had rulers instead OF spine
It's scary to cough, and it's not safe to grim
When the teacher gets cross and the alhPles
goes in.
When the teacher gets cross the tables all mix,
And the ones and the seyens begin playing
tricks.
The pluses and minus is just little smears
When the cry-babies cry all their states up
The fggers won't add, and they act up like
sin
When the teacher gets cross and the dimples
goes in.
When the teacher gets cross. the readers gets
bad;
The lines iigsle round till the chilluns is sad.
And Binyboy puffs aud gets red in the face,
As if he and the lesson were running race
Till she hollows out Next as sharp as a
pin
When the teacher gets cross and the dimples
goes in.
When the teacher gets good, her smile is 50
bright,
The tables gets straight, and the rel ders gets
right.
And pluses and minus come trooping along
And liggers add up and stop being wrong.
The we chilluns would like (but we dassent
to shout,
When the teacher gets good and the dimpl''
comes out. Florence May Az.

The first days meeting OF the Illinois Re-
publican Convention in some Of its parts

RICHMOND, Va, March %, 1876.
To tie United Confederate Veterans Erery-
Where:
Your Sixth Annual Reunion will be held
at Richmond, Virginia, on the Both OF June,
lst and % days OF July next.
Widely scattered since the war by the ties
of family and old-time firesides, by the de-
mauds OF business, by your natural energies,
and by the necessities of life, you are COM
ing home-hOme to the city which is yours
by the supremest tests OF the rain OF fire
through which you went, and of the sea OF
blood through which you passed, on the
mission Of her and the common defence
You have been no prodigal sons, for you
Inherited only the remnants OF rapaclous
ravage that was rampant everywhere In your
land because you had nothing left but the
manhood from which you were insepara0le
But the fatted calf shall be killed for you,
and we shall be merry together, not because
of nitv for your sins, but because of pride
in your fame demands.
You shall traverse again the streets which
thrilled to the tread of your legions while
they were passing to the ranks of the best
army the world ever knew.
You shall be confronted by the Virginians
who were the comrades of your immortal
glory and who are your brothers forever.
You shall see again the women who nurs
ed you back to vigor from the teebleness OF
wounds and wants, from the wretched woe
of your losses, and who pointed the dying
gaze of your fellows to the heaven which
stopped to enfold them.
Your ewes shall behold for themselves the
city which proudly wrapped herself in your
patriotic flames, from which she has emerg-
ed thing of beauty and a JOY for always.
You shall revisit the battefelds which
have been consecrated by your blood, and
where, if you lost your country, you found
fame that fills the world.
Heartily helped by our city and her cit-
zens, we are building for you place OF re-
union in which ten thousand of you may
mske the welkin ring to the music Of Dixie
and to the chorus of the Rebel Yell
On some appropriate day of the Reunion
you shall be part and parcel OF the rearing
of that monument which shall be to Jetfer-
son Davis, not merely because he was your
President and dewitt as such in the capital
of your Confederacy, but because he was the
type OF that nefiable manhood which made
the armies of the South.
During your stay here there will be many
bivouac, where, not in bravado or disloy-
atty but for sweet memory's sake, will be
sung over again the old songs, told over
again the old tales, fought over the old fights
yelled again the old yell, and raised again
the old flag
Come, then. Come to our hearts and
homes and to these bivouacs. Before we
pass to the great beyond we ought to have
one more bout and toast together. The
toast shall be to our own memories and tt
our Confederate comrades wherever they
may be but it shall carry along with 1t
brave blessing for our fellow-ctizens every
where, determined devotion to the safety
honor, and welfare of the entire country.
