Nelson said that the screen doors were
always closed but that he thought the
front wooden door was open.
The shot was fired between his door
and the front door in the hall. He was
sure of that. He fell back as Hayes
passed his door.
When Hayes had gone into his own
room Nelson went down the hall past

city officers, involving the payment Of
the electric light company's warrants
for city arc lights.
The suit involves about $4,000 worth
OF city warrants, held by the electric
light company.
Powers and his co-plaintiffs are citi-
zens. who contend that the contract for
the lights is illegal and void, and hence
that the claim for putting in the lights
should not be paid.
An injunction was issued about six
months ago restraining the city officials
from paying the warrants issued to the
llght company to pay it's claim.
The warrants then amounted to about
$4,000. Something like $4,000 of those
warrants were paid. reducing the un-
paid balance to $24, 900.
Since that time $12, 900 or $4,000 worth
or warrants have been added to those
already held. So the amount involved
now approximates $4,000.
The hearing is on the question wheth-
err or not the court shall make the in
junction prohibiting their payment per-
petual
The defendants are to show cause whv
the injunction shall not be made perma-
nent.
The hearing was set for December 20.

then passed through the hall to the

The testimony about King was ex-

Mrs. Keefe testified that she saw Nc
Caine come around from the side to the
front Of the Parker house, and that she
heard a shot when he got to the front
door.
She thought he was going in, and she
thought she heard some one sEeak to

McCaine had dinner pail in his hand.
Margaret Parker's evidence was SEN
sational. She was making beds on the
floor above the street level.
The hall below Is where Hayes was
seen with the smoking revolver and in
front of whose front door McCaine got
his death wound. Mrs. Parker said:
Il heard some one in the lower hall

Hayes say I am going.' Then heard

one say 'Scoot.' Then saw Mr.. Hayes

front door,"
Ran Into a Room.
Mrs. Parker said she first put her
hands over her ears after the shot, and
ran into a bathroom and then into the
upper hall, a little time passing be-
tween the noise Of the shot and when
she saw Hayes run through the hall. She
did not recognize the voice of the man

breast and run back around the Parker
house, after she heard the shot.
Both the Keefe ladies testified posi-
lively that the glass-paneled wooden
door in the Parker house, in front of
which McCaine was shot, was open when
they saw him. This agreed with the
theory of the state that Hayes shot Nc
Caine through the screen door, the other
door being open.

Yesterday Peter Nelson. who roomed
tn the same hall with Hayes, testified
that he heard a shot in the hall, and
opened the door of his room and saw
Hayes in the hall with a smoking revol-
yer in his hand.
Nelson said he then went back to the
drying room just in time to see McCaine

the latter 21, were to have been united
in marriage last evening or today, but
a postponement Of the proposed event
was found necessary because of the fact
that Mrs. Kuinders is the wife of Pierce
Kuinders, although she supposed until
yesterday that the law had annulled
the marriage contract existing between
Mr. Kuinders and herself.
Mr.. Horton attempted to secure the
license for himself and Mrs. Kuinders
on Wednesday.
He gave the name of the lady as
Minnie Greek, which was her maiden
name, and stated that she had been mar
ried and divorced, he having understood
that the decree had been signed only a
few days ago.
He told the clerk her former name
and the clerk examined the record with
the result that it was discovered that
no further proceedings than the filing of
the complaint August had been taken;
that no proofs had ever been presented
and that the proposed bride was still
the wife of Pierce Kuinders, to whom
she had been married in Spokane on
December 18, 1899.
Mr.. Horton was taken by surprise and
requested that the matter be held in
the balance until he could investigate,
Yesterday Mrs. kuinders called on b.

him If she was not divorced. She was
told she was not.
The case was explained to her. Then
she was surprised, for she supposed that
the simple filing of complaint was all
that the law required to severe the ties
that bound Pierce Kuinders and herself
together.
