Worthless But Expensive Witnesses Sum
mOnsd in the IIIstOn Murder Case.
It will cost Shawnee county a large
sum of money to convict David Coulter
of the murder of Edward IIlston.
just before the old sheriff's force went
out of office they subpoenaed twenty
witnesses who will testify for the state
in the case. Some of these witnesses
will come from Carbondale and the fee
they will receive will be necessarily
large because of the long distance they
will have to travel
1t seems that in this case like some OF
the rest, costs are piled up and witnesses
are summoned who are entirely worth
less SO far as the principal points in the
case are concerned In this case the
Carbondale witnesses are summoned to
prove that Coulter was at Carbondale
the day before the murder was commit
ted, when he admits, and has from the
first, that he killed Edward Illston.
The only point at issue in this case will
be whether the boy was shot accidentally
or not Ralf of the twenty witnesses
summoned will give evidence in no way
connected with that point.
The cost of convicting murderers in
Shawnee county needs reforming.

USES FOR COMPRESSED AIR
At the Santa Flo Shops Here-It Proves a
Wonderful Improvement.

At the Santa Flo shops Here-It Proves a
Wonderful Improvement.
Since the addition of the large engine
and compressor to the air plant at the
Santa Fe shops in this city, new uses for
compressed air are being adopted almost
daily in the various departments, thereby
facilitating the work and saving time and
labor.
Arrangements are being made for the
distribution of air to the blacksmith de-
partment, where it is used in the opera
ton of the large steam hammers, trial
having proved that it was fully as ser
viceable in this work as steam. This is
an important change, as the hammers
can be operated with air at far less cost
than with steam.
Speaking of the air plant, Santa Fe
official said yesterday: "It can be said
without exag gerati on that the Santa Fe
shops of this city have the most perfectly
equipped air plant of any railroad shops,
not only in the United States, but in the
world"
