DISCHARGED
Louis Sonnet and (. 4. Mitchell have Their Preliminary .
 Examination.
No Evidence Given that intended to InCriminate the Two Men
 Additional Testimony.

On Monday afternoon at three o'clock Louis B. Seunett and c. R.. Mitchell had their preliminary ex- animation before Justice $. K. Will Hams as consequence of the verdict of the coroner's jury rendered on the Friday previous. Several new wit nesses were examined and after listening to the testimony the de- fendants were promptly discharged from custoIy. It WAS further shown that the men who own the Mitchell saloon were expecting a hold.up; that a altercation which had occurred in their place the evening before had put them on their guard and when John son stepped into the door Of the tent with his Winchester and opened fire, he received warm reception which he had not anticipated The fact was also proven that when drinking John son was quarrelsome and the testimony showed that before starting for the lower saloon he fortified himself with three or four drinks in the upper saloon besides taking his turn ut

gun in his hand when he backed out of the saloon although he apologi2ed for striking him before he left.
 James Gneed was again on the wit ness stand and testified subse quently the same as he did before the Coroner's jury describing how Johnson appeared | in the door of the tent and opened fire wounding Roberts and turning his gun on MT. Sennett who was In the middle of the room standing bys the stove.
 Jim Johnson, who was at the upper saloon, testified to Jesse Johnson leav- ing there. II told him not to go; if he went down there he would get into trouble and he said he wasn't going down there to have any trouble. As l far as I could tell he was not in an angry state of mind. He rode my horse down there and had my 30-30 rife which was on my saddle, also his six shooter"
 E. Silvey was the man who told Hopper not to go down to the lower saloon on the 26th. He gave as his reason that the saloon men thought Hopper intended to hold up the saloon after the trouble which occurred the night previous.
 c. W. Rich was sleeping in his tent about 100 yards from the saloon. He heard someone say "Here is where you get free roll" and then ths shoot. ing commenced. Afterwards q voice said, If anyone shows up, nail him." and later another voice said, "For Gods sake, don't shoot him any more," and the last thing he heard was, Where is Roberts shot?" Mir. Rich did not leave his tent that night.
 Mir. McCarty, Mcdonald and John Bowman all testified to Johnson leaV- ing the upper saloon for MichelP place with q rife and six-shooter.
 Mir. Sennett again told exactly what occurred the night of the shooting and at the conclusion Judge Williams dis. charged the defendants from custody.

bottle which was passed around on the outside.
 Eugene Hopper was on the stand again yesterday. He told about being in Mitchell's saloon night of 25th the evening before the killing. That a man named Gum made some remark he did not like and he struck him wi tn his list and had his six-shooter in his hand when he backed out the door. Hopper testified that he had known Jesse Johnson about twelve years. That on the evening of the 25th he was at Silver Creek in company with John- soR but he remained at Upper saloon That on the evening of the 26th they were again at the Upper saloon and Johnson said that he heard that those boys down at the lower saloon intended to kill him. Continuing Hopper said: 1T told Johnson l didn't believe it. He said he would go down there and see those boys as he had heard they had said we intended to hold up the place. Shortly after the shooting another man and myself started for the lower saloon and met Sonnet riding John son's horse. He halted us and said Johnson was dead, and that if any of his partners were around they would get them also." 1 tried to persuade Johnson not to go down to that saloon because I was told the saloon had a bad reputation. A man named Silvery told me not to go down there because those men said they would shoot the top of my head off"
