Crime.


A tragedy that has been expected 90 90
davs took place last Wednesday alter
noon about three o'clock. 1t was on
the ranch OF Otto Schauer In iron
county. on Hockey, near the line OF
Tom Green, about 23.miles from San An

on Ben Cole, who fired his piston al
Schauer, Schauer returning Ine nre
Win a Winchester shotgun, knocking
Cole off his horse, and when Cole fell
he fred his pistol at Murray, Murray
returning the fire with his six-shooter.
Sohauer and Murray then came TO San
Angelo and surrendered. Four snots
in all were fired.
Another report says, and what ap-
pears to be the substance OF the coron-
er's inquest at Sherwood, that tne oooy
of Rem Cole was found in Schauer' 9
pasture. shot with load of buck shot
in the left side which passed
through his body, coming out on the
right side, being evidently hred at
close range. Another shot, either
from q pistol or rifle, penetrated his
right eye and was cut out at
the base of the brain. he
was lying on his back when found,
with his pistol near his left hand, two
chambers had been discharged and the
hammer was resting on the next load
ed cartridge, but lthere was no dent In
the cartrid ge, showing the pistol had
not been snapped. The deceased 9
saddle had blood on it and his horse q
tracks showed that he was rldlng TO-
wards his home when the parties met.
The trouble is supposed to have origi-
mated over one OF deceased's female
relatives. Deceased was under 81, OOO
peace bond at the time of the killing.
Ben Cole was one OF the best citizens
in West Texas and where known was
almost universally popular. HIS
funeral occurred at Sherwood Thurs

Taylor.
Burns told witness to give the
photographs to the girls when they
came to Ell Paso, after his death.

house on the north side for the
girls to live in when they arrived;

and go back to Ireland but remain In
America.
Q.-Is Patterson related to Burns?
Aft so, Burns never told me.
Cross examined by Attorney Davis:
Q-How many wills did Burns tell
you about?
Ale said he made one once be-
fore giving something to Jennie Nc
Dermott, but that it had been destroy
ed; told me in 1896 q few days before
Christmas that Wallace had made an
other will for him leaving property to
Lamb and daughters and that was to
coll ect the rents.
When did he last talk to you in this
way.
The day he left for Los Angeles.
CHARACTER WITNESSES.
The contestants next introduced
Maurice McKelligon, who testified as
on the former trial that Wallace's
racity was bad and that he was un-
worthy of belief on oath.
Witness declined to testify as to Pat
tersOn's reputation, but said that in
many respects Patterson is man of
merit.
Q.-You are not friend Of Wal
lace's?
A.-No, sir; not since we had q diff
Guilty three years ago and he assaulted
myself and friend on the street.
Witness was excused.
b. r. Woods, as on the previous
trial, testified that Patterson's gen.
ersl reputation for truth and veracity
was bad and that he was not worthy OF

had told him that he intended leaving
everything to his Irish kindred. The

fore Burns went away never to re.

was somewhat confused by Attorney

next witness. He said that he had
frequently worked for Burns and often
talked to him about his relatives
and the photographs of his nieces.
Burns told witness that he bad
made a will leaving his property &c
Lamb and family and that ]. ]. TAYLOR
was to be executor; told him this q
short time before he went to Califor

new SMALLPOX CASES.
The City Health Officer In a d.
lcmmd.

City Health Officer Race is in q
dilemma as to what to do with the in
creasing number of smallpox patients.
He,has no "house of detention" toplace
suspects in and the pest house is now
full. Three cases have been reported
in the last twenty-fOur hours and .
number of the citizens are making
an arrangement to take up
the matter seriously if something
Yesterday afternoon the first case
reported to Doctor Race was that of
Walter Bird who lives in the alley be-
tween West Overland and Sonora
streets and Santa Fee and chihuahua
streets. AS soon as the doctor could
arrange the matter Bird was sent to
the pest house and made as comfort
able as possible. Then there came the
report of two more cases, Mexican
between Stanton and Kansas and the
other on 7th between Oregon and
Utah.
The matter was much discussed on
the streets this morning and one of Ell
Paso's leading citizens said to HER
AID reporter, 81 am going to see what
1 can do towards getting up citizen 8
committee composed of about four men
who have had the disease and go to
exactly what is there. If there are
any sick people in them report to the
health officer and let him take
care of them. The way the thing is
going now, we are liable to have q
good deal of trouble. The city council
ought to do something in this line, but
they just sit back and suck their
thumbs; when 1t is too late they will
have to shoulder the blame, for they
| have been warmed time and again OF
the need of such an Investigation and
never a thing have they DONE"

RELATIVES
in IRELAND
Are Frequently Mentioned
In Today's Testimony
PATTERSON'S CHARACTER
Is Called In Question. And Testified
To By A Number Of Witnesses
The Contestant Still Presenting
Evidence of Burns's Intention To
Will His Property To His Re-
lativeS.

In the Burns will contest the first
witness this morning was DR.. Thomp-
SON, who attended Burns during his
last illness and was his Burns's ply
slcian until he left here for Les An
geles where he died.
On the direct examination DIR.
Thompson said that he had held many
conversations with Burns, the last just
before he went to Los Angeles. and
that Burns frequently spoke
of his nieces and halfbrother in
Ireland and said he intended
leaving them all his posses
sions and that will had been drawn
up naming Taylor as executor.
Burns was not man who could be
persuaded and his mind was active to
the last although he was very weak in
body.
Witness was cross examined by Mr..
Davis: 81
O.-Hsd Burns become enfeebled so
he could have been influenced?
Al can imagine no way in which
he could have been imposed upon, ex-
cept where education was required,
for he could neither read or write.
When he talked to you might not he
have meant that he only left the estate
to Taylor executor?
think he intended me to under
stand that the property was left to
Lamb and daughters. When 1 heard
of the alleged Patterson will l was as
tonished.
How did you gain your impression
about the disposition of property?
Only q short time before he went
away he talked to me about bringing
his niece here and said they would &C.
cupy q house on the north side in re-
spectacle part of town.
REDIRECT by Coldwell:
Odd Burns know his days were
numbered.
Ayes, L told him, as his ply sician
and he sent for priest. He spoke OF
his nieces coming here after told him
and after he had sent for Father Cahill
At any time did he tell you how
he made his money? :,
Yes, several times. He used to tel
me about assisting the lewd women on
Utah ST. when they were sick, saying
he could not refuse to help them, when
he had made every cent of his money
out of them. He buried several o.
them and aided others when they were
i'll.
Did deceased ever do or say any
thing to indicate that his feelings to
ward his relatives had undergone {
change.
| Never.

William Allen, Burns's collector
was called. Witness has resided in E.
Paso since 1875 and collected for Burn'
during the last two years he was alive
Burns often told witness about nieces
and half brother in Ireland and sale
they were coming to this country tt
live and asked witness to teach then
American ways after he was dead.
He said Patterson had made his will
leaving property to Lamb and ths
girls and that Taylor would
manage the property and
witness would collect the rents a:
