Judge Henderson's court was occupied
Monday in considering a case of shoot
ing with an attempt to kill. w. II. Cor
don, n farmer who resides a few miles
east Of Pringle, being the complaining
witness. From the evidence produced
it appears that A. T.. Harwood and his
son Amos, neal neighbors Of Mr.. Cor
don, came to his ranch on the night of
April End and fired several shots around
and into his residence, one shot passing
through one Of the windows, and within
3 inches of Mr.. Gordon's head. The de-
PENDANTS on the other hand had a wit
ness on the stand testifying that Mr..
Gordon was in Hot Springs IN the night
in question. Mr.. Harwood was bound
oyer in the sun Of 500, and his son
$3.50. 1t would seem that some one con
nected with the case has perjured HIM
self. We understand the matter will be
thoroughly investigated at the next term
Of court.

On its face it may appear to be q small
matter, but in reality the announcement
that the Burlington road will begin rum
ming q solid train from st. Louis through
to Seattle is full of significance. 1t
practically means another transconti-
mental line from the leading metropolis
of the Pacific Northwest to the leading
metropolis of the Mississippi Valley. 1t
means that the Northwest is to be
brought into still closer relations with
the Middle West through easier facili-
ties of communication, and emphasizes
