"preaus of the Dead"

Lines suggested upon reading Edward Stan
tons novel Dreams Of the Dead-rl
By T. SHELLEY SUTTON
Dreams OF the dead Dreams Of the dead
To dream were . cruel fate,
But Death is a sleep. and the grave too deep
For dreams to penetrate;
And dreams shall fade when the hands are lai
Over the silent breast,
And the pain we feel can never steal
Into our endless rest
Dreams of the dead IT'S foolish tongue
That prates OF a dead mans dream;
Only IN life is our sleeping rife,
With the shadow of things that seem;
The grave is place in whose cold embrace
Never q dream is known.
1t win all be Real when the soul shall kneel
At the great Creators throne
Dreams OF the dead Alas, what dream
Were dark as this life of ours
We come and we pass through looking glass
And fade with the Summer flowers
The soul comes In. In dream Of sin,
And lives in a dream Of pain
And the soul goes out in Night Of Doubt.
Never 90 dream again

Eutumn Leaves.
GC.L.l
By T. SHELLEY SUTTON.
The Autumn leaves are falling fast
In scar and yellow showers;
Unrobed. before the Winters blast,
The mighty poplar towers
Each shady walk where once We strolled-
Where Love in silence bIed-
Is carpe;ed with brown and gold
And spectral shades OF red.
And still. o. still. those Autumn leaves
In trembling showers descend -
Like thoughts Of gold, that die when told,
Which none can comprehend
Where once we wrote our names in sand
And plueked the leaves above,
They futter down. in red and brown,
Like ghosts OF perished love
And mem'ries come that once were dumb
And speak again OF thee;
In every leaf a tale OF grief
Unfolds itself to me-
And now once more my heart receives
The wintery blast of doom.
And once again Loves falling leaves
Have made my heart their tomb

would give Kippen the preference.
The con versation then drifted upon
the ma tier of old business differences
which Morague hoped they could settle
with some sort of compi Omise. To II
direct question from Moragne asking,
"Is there not some way to cOmpro-
mise?" K,ppen replied sharply in the
negative and rose hastily drawing his
right glove and threw his hand behind
him advancing toward the center of
the room.
THE SHOOTING.
At that Instance Morague sprang up
with his revolver drawn. When the
first shot was fired Carberry testifies
that Kippen was moving away from
which he opened aid through which
he passed. Moragne followed and
fired three shots at K'pren, who was
moving from the cabin. At the third
shot he reeled toward the right and
fell on his face about six or eight feet
from the door.
On the crcss examination the de-
tense brought out the fact of former
trouble between the parties, showing
attempts to effect settlement. also set
ting up the fact that Kippen had
written letter threatening to maxe
Moragne trouble.
His direct testimony as to the par
ticulars NJ the shooting was not ma
terially changed ny the ross-exa'nin-
alton. His story remains substan-
tally intact.
The witnesses have all or nearly all
arrived IN the city. The yumors Of the
hrst few days of excitement over the
killing have subsided till the belief Is
general that the trouble was over busi-
ness affairs exclusively. The fact Is
that bad blood existed over land dis
putes and accounts. The rumor of
threats against the life of Moragne
seems to he unfounded, although per.
sOnai alteration between the parties
with Kippen as an aggressor were

the interests of the state. The case
Was called at 2 p. m. Wednesday.
Moragne appeared in the custody Of
Deputy John Barton. aud took a place
by the side Of his attorneys. He was
rs calm as he has been at all times
since the murder. Mrs. kippen was
in court and she occupied chair near
the prosecutors. The case was merely
called however. to be postponed upon
motion Of the State aud with passive
consent of the defendants counsel TIL
Thursday morning Mt nine o'clock. A
crowd Of spectators filled the probate
Judges room hut they were disap-
pointed. by the early adjournment Of
the case.
The Moragne case was called again
in Judge 6tookey's court yesterday
morning and the state asked and Sc
cured an adjournment till 2p. m. AT
that time the legal fight began.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Lind
say subpoened twenty witnesses
mostly on the part Of the defense.
cARBERRY's STORY.
Mathew A. Carberry the only eye
witness to the homicide was the first
person called by the state yesterday
afternoon and his story Of the killing
as drawn out by the states attorneys
is substantially as given below: Car
berry as an employee Of Moraene's
went to Kippen's house Friday morn
ing for the mail, Kippen being post
master and the Office being ut his
house. KIM EN- asked II Moragne had
returned from Lewiston and was told
that he had. Carberry returned home
to Moragne's cabin aud found him ab-
sent about the place. In about thirty
or forty minutes he saw Kippen COM
ing across the field toward Moragne's
Kiplen asked for Moragne aud being
told that he was out, he, on invitation
from Carberry entered the cabin where
the two read the papers and talked
about the Spokane fire for about three
quarters of an hour before Moragne re-
turned.
Carberrv saw Moragne approaching
and told Kippin who answered "all
right" ana continued reading the
paper. Moragne entered, spoke TO
Kippen who answ cred though verv
low and indistinct to the salutatiOn.
MOraene began the con yersation about
the lease saying that he could not lease
to Kippen without jeopartlizing his
right, but that he could hire and
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1898-02-04

observed this movement he hastily
drew a revolver from his pocket.
When Kippen saw the weapon he
turned toward the door. Before he
reached the door which was closed and
fastened with wooden button
Moragne fired at him. Kippen opened
the door aud passed out when Moragne
fired at him again. At perhaps the
third shot Kiypen feel forward and ex-
claimed: ~ AM shot; | am dead, :"
and he expired Immediately. Moragne
is supposed to have fired one or more
shots after the victim had fallen 10 the
ground some eight or ten feet from the
door to which Moragne had advanced
,s he fired his revolver at the fleeing
man.
The parties to the tragedy had been
on intimate business relations for
about three years, aud there were old
scores unsettled between them. In the
legal evidence so far adduced, there
has been no lntimation Of other than
the ordinary business dispute and con.
sequent bitterness, but these hardly
justify the homOcide. There are ru'
mors that Kippen had threatened Mo-
ragne's life and this fact Is woven into
the theory of self-defense, upon which
the defendant will rely. II these ru-
mors have foundation, in fact, and
which only the legal evidence can de-
termine, the theory o: self-defense will
be tenable. On the other hand the
dead man was shot in the back, ard
no evidence was given at the cOroner's
inquest that he was armed. A number
of shots were fired, four of which took
effect. This fact NAV he accounted for
upon the theory that the assailant was
Oadly excited and continued tO fire III
the fleeing and fallen man under al
impulse Of fear or frenzy which hs
could not control.

A Bloody ARRAY.

The rumor reached the city Saturday
night that man by the name Of Albert
Wheeler, resident of Agatha on the
reservation, had been assaulted by one
Bechtel and IA result Of q blow over
the head with some heavy weapon was
fatally Injured. On Monday the sheriff
was notified by letter from Mrs.
Wheeler of The affair aud he repaired
to the scene Of the afiray and arrested
Noah Bechtel and Wesley Byrd. They
are now IN the county Jail awaiting the
effects Of the victims wounds and
awaiting n hearing before Judge
Sto0key on u charge not less In degree
than assault to commit murder The
facts as set forth by Mrs Wheeler are
that Byrd called Wheeler out Of the
dance hall at James Evans house on
last Friday night aud while Wheeler
suspected nothing BE chtel aud Byrd
both assaulted him knocking him
seuseless ana then while he was pros
trate they kicked aud beat him un-
tnercifuIly.
They left Wheeler where he fell aud
it is reported that they believed they
had killed him aud that they boasted
Of the act. II is also claimed that the
assault was the result of an old feud.
Upon the other hand the prisoners
claim the row t0shave resulted from an
attempt upon the part Of Wheeler to
defame the character Of Bechtel's SIS
ter, who was In attendance at the
dance escorted by Byrd lSechtel

Killing Of D. A. Kippen by Joseph
H. MOragne, on Friday
January 26.
The Case on Trial Today
The Direct Testimony of Mathew A..
Carberry, the Only
Eye Witness.
The Case on Trial Today

The people of Lewiston were shocked
last Saturday morning by the circula-
ton OF the report that u murder had
been committed upon the reservation
at Cold Springs, about forty miles
in the interior.
}. II. Moragne. the county surveyor,
appeared ut the sheriff's office on FRI
day night and reported that he had
killed ID. A. Kippen. the postmaster at
the old Cold Springs camp ground, q
point we'll known to all Lewistonians.
Mr.. Kippen WAS we'll and favorably
known to the travelling public and to
the business men Of the county. The
prominence Of the parties to the dread
ful tragedy caused "A deep interest. All
manner OF rumOrs AS to motive and
consequence were started and discussed
MIR. MOragne was about town all day
Friday in the custoday Of the sheriff
and he seemed cool as the most dis.
interested spectator. He declined to
talk about the sad affair any more than
to state to the officers that the killing
was done In self defence.
THE CORONERs INQUEST.
The main facts If the tragedy as es-
tablished 10y the coroners inquest are
as follows.
Kippen, when he learned Of Mr..
MOragne's arrival from Lewiston,
went to the residence of Moragne and
inquired for him. Moragns was out,
and Klppen entered upon invitation
of Mr.. Carberry who was at the cabin.
In few minutes Moragne arrived aud
talk on business followed without
any display of violence. During dis
pute Kippen stood NY about five feet
from where Moragne sat on the bed.
Kippen removed his glove and placed
his hand behind him. When Moragne

narrowly escaped IN one or more in-
stances in the past.
The parties to the tragedy were
prominent citizens cf the neighborhood
In which they have resided for three
years. These men were both largely
and intimately associated with the
settlers upon the reservation from the
exciting days Of rush to the present
time. Like many other industrious
and honest settlers In that undeveloped
district they become more or less em.
barressed financially. The trying c,r-
cumstances incident u this natural
condition may he ascribed ~ the cause
Of the Cold Springs tragedy. Only the
courts of justice can place tho blame
where II elongs.
