He Waived the Preliminary Examination
and Will Stand Trial

Edward Sheppard, the colored man
who is charged with assault in the sec
ond degree on another colored man
named George Murray. was arragned
yesterday afternoon before Judge Ken
nedy. The prisoner waived preliminary
examination and he was bound over to
the district court in $500 bonds, which
he could not furnish, and therefore,
was remanded to the county Jail Shop
pard said that he had written to friends
in the East for money. but he had not
yet received it. He expects to receive
it in a few days and he will then en-
gage an attorney.
George Murray, the victim of the as
sault, was placed under oath to appear
at the sheriff's office every evening.
The assault which Sheppard is charg-
ed with having committed, took place
on the night of March IA in a house
on Front street. 1t appears that Muir
ray was sitting down at the time and
was reading a newspaper, when Shop
pard suddenly struck him over the head
with billiard cue. The victims wound
was for many days considered to be
serious, and 1t was feared for time
by the hospital physicians that he
would not survive, but he pulled
through all right and left the hospital
last Sunday.

ANOTHER SHORTAGE FOUND.
Ex-Treasurer Widber Appropriated
Funds Belonging to Escheated
Estates

Treasurer Truman has completed the
investigation begun some time ago into
the matter Of money from escheated es-
tates which passed through the treasury
during the incumbency of ex-Treasurer
Widber. The investigation dscIoses the
fact that Widber appropriated small
amounts from no less than thirty-seven
estates, the sums so appropriated aggre-
eating $75 So. The Treasurer is required
by law to transmit the small amounts re-
ferred to to the State Controller Instead
of doing this, Widber appropriated the
as having been transmitted to the Con-
troller. A comparison of the Treasurer s
books with those of the Controller dis
closed the fraud.

filled with three entries-one owned by

horsemen quartered at Oakland track
