The Halls of Justice.

Runnels Williams. charged with the
murder of John Shurn, early last week,
had preliminary hearing yesterday be-
fore Justice Stuart. Court was held in
the district court room and a large
crowd of colored folks watched the pro-
ceedngs with much interest.
Maggie Breeding testified that John
Shurn was her father.
10 She said: MY father was farming
with Runnels Williams, and about the
9th of July l heard them talking. My
father was sitting under the shade of a
tree and Williams came up with knife
he had for cutting tops, and he said to
papa: why don't you tie up the tops
you cut Yesterday Papa said: I'm
not going to tie any tops He then said
to papa: You tie them or you don't
cut another top, not one OF them. and you
| must let them alone. Papa said: It's
my crop and | can do as l please with
! it, so you get your part of it. Will
liams said: You can do as you please,
but if you cut another top out there the
white folks will talk over this thing
| Witness stated that Williams seemed
TO be made when talking to her father:
| Cross-eXamined, witness said she did
not know the state of feelings between
her father and Williams, except what
she had heard. He did not say anything
| about going to law.
Tom Musgrove testified he was Shurn's
stepson. "On the day Shurn was killed
myself and Louis Ferguson were hauling
tops and had loaded wagon. Ferguson
and Shurn went into the cotton patch
to get watermelon and left me t.
watch the team. While they We're gone

Yesterday Ex-Governor Hogg confidcn,

of day the moon oscillates some. Now
when the moon would stand still | could
plainly see Mercury, which, You know

does take II iaunt and loafs around the
moon it's an indication. Well, just n few
