DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
Evidence Against Mrs. George Will
Be In TODAY.

Canton, o.. April 16-It is now the
expectation of the state that the direct
testimony against Mrs. George will be
concluded by the time court adjourns
tomorrow evening. A number of wit
nesses who have been subpoenaed only
for confederation viii not be put on the
stand.
There is rumor afioat that Mrs. Alt
house, the missing witness wanted by
both sides, is in the city and that she
will be the central figure in a surprise
party tomorrow, but no substantiation
of this is obtainable.
The defense will probably occupy
more than a week in submitting testi-
moGy. Attorneys for the defense say
they will not, until the state has closed
outline the full scope of the testimony
they will introduce, and they give no
intimidation of what particular line of
defense they will emphasize. The cross
examination SO far has suggested little
more than a chain of grievances on the
part of the accused against Saxton, and
the state claims this is not without ad-
vantage to them, because it furnishes a
motive.
Mayor Rice, it is definitely announced,
will go on the stand as a privileged wit
ness on behalf of Mrs George. to an
swer certain questions with which his
name has been associated. The principal
one of these matters is the revolver
story of former Police Sergeant Hasler
The attorneys for the defense say Mrs
George may go on the stand herself. but
they will make no definite statement on
this subject.

Will Face the Charge of Sending
Poisoned Candy,

Hastings, Neb., April 16.-Miss Viola
Horlocker returned to Hastings to-
night in company with her mother and
friends and will face the charges of
having attempted to kill Mrs. C. +.
Morey by sending her box % bon
bons containing arsenic. The accused.
in company with her attorneys, will go
before the county court tomorrow,
when the sheriff will place her under
arrest. She will furnish the necessary
bond for her preliminary hearing and
will then return to her home. The case
will be pushed
Miss Horlocker has been in safe
hands during her absence and a close
watch has been kept over her to pre-
vent her committing suicide. 1t has
just developed that Miss Horlocker
contemplated resigning her position as
Stenographer with Tibbetts & Morey,
as she was, DESTROYS of securing the
position of music teacher in the Hast
ings public schools, intending to so
east to take a course in musical train
ing to especially fit her for the posi-

Analysis of the poisoned candy here
shows that each bon-bon contained
four grains of arsenic. The state chem.
list at Lincoln is also at work on the
stuff and his report is anxiously await
ed. Mrs. Morey and Mrs. Gaslin, who
ate of the candy, are out of danger.

Mccormick block he yelled out to his
companion: Gee, Billy, but it's a hum
mer.'
Eddie Saunders, a 12-year-old, had
quite narrow escape at the head of
Main street. His hat had blown away
and rested on q street car rail Just as
the car rounded the curve. He ran after
it and in front. of the car, kicking the
hat from the track and missing the car
himself by about two feet. Eddie wore
the brim home.

A crowd gathered in front of the
Kenyon to see what it was coming up

snails pace, and pretty soon the fea-

young populace at last was enabled to

guardhOuSe charged with the assault,
but the soldiers assert that the saloon
people are responsible and claim that
the proprietor. A. l.. Rehfeld. was the
chief assailant of the injured man.
A report being circulated today that
King was dead, the place was set on
fire tonight and destroyed, as an act
of retribution. The trouble began last
night when five or six recruits went to
the saloon, which is known as the
Preside Club cafe. There We're sew
eral women in the place and a row
soon started over one of them, in which
nearly all the men present participated.
When comparative order had been re-
stored, it was found Private King had
been seriously injured about the head,
his skull supposed to have been frac-
tured and his features badly battered.
He was taken to the Preside reserva-
ton, and his supposed assailant, Pri-
vate Clark, placed in the guardhouse.
BURNED DOWN THE SALOON.
Early this morning some one started
the story among the troops that King
was dead. Despite the denials of the
officers, the report spread, and by
nightfall the men had become wildly
excited. Soon after dark nearly 1000 of
them proceeded to the saloon where
the row had occurred, and after gut
ting its interior, set fire to it in several
places, no one daring to interfere. The
incendiaries in uniform established an
impromptu bucket brigade and pre-
vented the adjoining buildings from
catching fire. During the progress of
the flames the soldiers are said to have
discharged many shots in the air and
INDUCED in much hila1.ity. When the
saloon had been ruduced to ashes, they

Freeman of the Twenty7fourth United
States infantry, commandant of the
post.
All of the men implicated in the af-
fair are white. The colored troops.
none of whom took part. were placed
over them as guard, the cavalry
lending it's assistance.
There being no guardhouse of suf-
ficient capacity, the prisoners We're
rounded up on the open ground. The
men We're nearly all to sail for Manila
in few days on the outgoing fleet of
transports.
Later on. after a roll call had been
taken of the men in quarters, the
names of those under arrest were reg
istered and they We're permitted to go
to their barracks Until a late hour

Greenwich street entrance to the Pre-
sidio and the loss will be about 81 500.
Charles King the injured soldier. was
a. New Yorker recently from Wash
ington, d. c., but enlisted in this state.
He says he became involved in the
trouble because he interfered to save
a fellow soldier who was being thrown
out of the saloon and denies that there
was woman in the case.

exposed forecastle with nothing but
their blue jackets covering their Shout
ders, and most of the time with their
hats flying in the air. Officers and men
alike expressed the greatest surprise at
the demonstration. Many of them were
heard to make remarks to the effect
that the battle of Manila bay was
fought so long ago that they had almost
forgotten it.
While the rain had not abated in the
least when the Raleigh and her escorts
reached the southern end of Riverside
park, the enthusiasm, instead of fall
ing off, increased, both on the vessels
and on the shore. The boulevards and
paths in the park We're crowded by the
people who had been waiting an hour
or more. Two shore batteries fired a
salute near this point, the people along
the shore in boats and small launches
fired off cannon crackers, revolvers and
guns, while a half dozen locomotives on
the tracks along the river added to the
deafening noise by blowing their whis-
ties all the time the Raleigh was pass
ing.
Just before arriving at Grants tomb
the cruiser slowed down preparatory to
turning and while the cheering and
whistle blowing and other noises We're
at their height, two siX-pounders on the
twenty-one guns. The last shot had
hardly died away when the Alvarado
and Sandoval opened with their national
salute, and a battery on shore Joined
in the tribute to General Grant.
When the salutes We're concluded the
Raleigh turned Slowly and headed down
the river. her escorts turning at the
same time. The run back to anchorage
off Forty-fOurth street was made slowly
and the same enthusiasm was displayed
as on the run up the river.
When the Raleigh finally anchored
she was surrounded by fleet of excur-
sion boats, and as fast as they could
reach her gangway the people aboard
them climbed on the cruiser and eX-
tended a personal welcome to the Of
fcers and men. The crew took great
pride in showing visitors over the ship,
and particularly in pointing out the
five-inch gun that fired the first shot in
tho battle of Manila bay.
Many relatives and personal friends
of the officers and men went aboard as
soon as they could reach the side of the
vessel, and the days celebration con-

vidual receptions
