defendants, he said the Nc
Laughlins, Young and Craig
passed on Main street, and
heard some one calling, when nearly
to the corner of Twenty-fourth street.
They turned and Clarence Johnson
and some Of the women came out on
the porch, and Ben Frazier also come
out and said he wanted to see them.
They went on up street and Ben Fra
zier caught up to them, and walked
to Sixteenth street, talking to them
and apparently watching the party. At
Sixteenth street Frazier disappeared,
and went away, and the four boys
went on up town about their busi-
ness.
1.-The evidence will show that Fra
zier located the four boys and went
back and told defendants where they
were, and defendants came up armed,
and expecting to meet the four. AT
Sixteenth and Market they found the
party had passed south, and followed
them to the point where the shooting
occurred
Mr.. Howard concluded at half past
four o'clock, and then Capt. Dovener
made correction in his statement as
to the incidents at the Parker house
at the time of the morning fight and
said defendants had been over to Bar
TOLLS saloon for two bottles of beer
and four sandwiches, and were open
ing a bottle Of beer on the sidewalk
with a knife, when the Mclaughlin S
came along and the fight resulted.
Court adjourned until $50 a. m.

was considerable discussion, and the
report was taken up by paragraphs
The meeting was of one mind until the
fourth clause of the platform was
reached. which read the enforcement
of the law
Judge Jet thought it should be the
enforcement of the laws"
Is. Fl. Schriber was afraid, If they
made it read laws, people would think
they meant the enforcement of the two
laws relating to the saloon and the
social evil alone. He thought they
should make the scope of the organi-
cation broad enough so that every well
meaning citizen would support the
platform in its entirety.
Rev. A. j. G.. Haupt, chairman of the
meeting, suggested that the word "the"
be left out and that the fourth sec
ton of the platform read 1.-The en-
forcement Of laws"
The change met with favor and was
adopted.
The remainder of the report and plat.
form was adopted
