WEBSTER Is HELD
Charged With Shooting Mrs.
Amy Krause.
IS MYSTERIOUS
Preliminary Hearing Before
Justice Sanders at Cheney.

! Yesterday afternoon Lee Webster was
bound over to the district court in his
preliminary at Cheney before Justice
souders. on the charge Of shooting and
seriously wounding Mrs. Amy Krause.
This Is another step in the mysterious
shooting which occurred there last week
and which stirred up the citizens OF that
community. Webster is a respected citi-
zen of that city. Mrs. Krause IS the
daughter of an influential farmer In the
south part Of the county.
As viii be remembered by the readers
Of the Eagle. Mrs. Krause was shot
while standing at an open well with her
hands on the rope in the act Of drawing
bucket Of WAFER. The report of a gun
was heard an dthe BAN struck Mrs.
Krause in the breast She came to this
city and was treated by physicians here
After a short time she returned to her
home, although the wounds were rather
serious.
Webster was in the employ of a hard
ware firm Of Cheney and that day was
south of Cheney number of miles doing
some work for the firm by which he was
retained. His route to and from the place
where he was working lead by the home
Of Mrs. Krause, or rather the home of
her father, VIM Allhoss, where she had
been residing since the death Of her hus-
band several years ago, the result of an
accidental shooting
Webster was arrasted on her request /
and held for his preliminary There was /
quite mysterious air about the whole /
affair. No one saw Webster do the 4
shooting nor did he have a weapon of /
any kind in his vehicle when he reached (
Cheney. When asked about the matter
the first time he denied having anything I
to do with 1t. At the preliminary he stlu |
denied the shooting and there are many /
people who believe that he IS entirely /
blameIess.
A number Of witnesses testified in the
hearing yesterday. It was, however, by
the Identification of Mrs. Krause that
Webster was held. She positively ident-
fed him as the person who did the shoot
ing. She stated that she heard "A report
OF a gun and saw the fash and the next
thing she knew was that she was struck
by the bali. Webster was the man, she
said. and accordingly, with other testi-
mony, Justice Souders stated that Web
ster was to be bound over
There was some confusion regarding
the matter, as some Of the witnesses saw
Webster, but could not state what kind
Of a rig he had or where he was bound
for.
The shooting affair has been the princl-
pie topic Of conversation in Cheney and
the surrounding country since the time 1t
occurred. There seems to have never
been a plausible explanation about the
matter and the ruling Of Justice Souders
was that as there was some reasonable
doubt, he was Of the opinion that it was
proper to bind Webster over for a fur
Their investigation in the district court
All Of the parties IN the affair are vel
known and this leads more to the air Of
the mystery surrounding the case.

Engine Cut Bell Rope in Half.

When Coils 2. Huntington was presi-
dent of the Chesa peake & Ohio Railroad
company. J. *. Murray of the vice-presi-
dents staff, with Capt Rogers, a Cali
fornia railroad official, was With him on
his private car, relates the Chicago
Chronicle. Capt. Rogers had been Of
fered the general managership Of the
road by Mr.. Huntington, and was going
over the line. The train stopped and a
switching engine was attached to the
end Of Mr. Huntington's car to pull it
out.
At that moment the party on the car
was breakfa sting, and Mr.. Huntington
was seated at the table nearest the door,
deity carving steak. The switching
engine had been coupled to the other end
Of the car and started off, and it hap
pened that the brakeman forgot to I'M
couple the bell-rope between the car and
the rest of the train, so, as the switch
ing engine pulled the private car away
from the train the rope stood the strain
until it became taut and then broke with
a rebound that sent one end with terrific
force into Mr.. Huntington's car. The
flying rope. with its metal end, grazed
Mr.. Huntington's head and shattered the
meat platter in front of him. He quietly
began to pick up the fragments and Capt
Rogers remarked:
THAT was narrow escape, Mr.. Hunt
ington.''
The railroad king, with his manner I'M
changed, replied:
Il don't know, captain. / would have
felt pretty mean ii one Of those new
switching engines of ours couldn't pull

mento and promise of an extra session
Of Congress is brandishing a torch to
kindle wars, and offers premium for
the daily assaults in the Philippines
upon American soldiers who are, by
Mr.. Bryan'S fatal necessities of futile
policy, presented as the instruments Of
q ruthless despotism and that we are
warning in the Philippines to change
the way Of our republicanism and char
acter of our government and make it
imperialistic. Bryan's extra session,
believe, promises, if the November cleo
ton approves it. more war and anarchy
after Mr.. Bryan's election, and guerrilla

to be held by Mr.. Bryan would be an
''Open door," not to commerce in the
Orient, but to European Intervention in
the Philippines. It seems q surprise
that Mr.. Bryan should have risked his
case on a state of facts in the Philip
pines and did not know what it was.
He has read Pettigrew's Senatorial in

ord, and has accepted the sinister COM
