and Donegan were travelling overland to
Oklahoma last march, when Donegau was
killed near Amoret, Mo- The motive was
apparently robbery. Donegans body was
found in a creek with his head mashed in,
and later the Gautrells were arrested in
Kansas City while trying 10 sell the min
er's wagon and horses Dr. Gautrell, who
was tried first, took the stand and said
that he had killed Donegan with an AK in
selt-defense while Donegan was in the act
OF Draining him with monkey wrench.
They had quarreled he said. His son, the
prisoner declared, was asleep when Done
gan was killed and had nothing TO do with
the fight. Dr. GantrelI testified that he
had lived in Texas. California and Mis-
souri, that he had held the offices OF State
legislator and sheriff in Texas, and was
once in business in Texas. Young Can
trell will now be tried on the charge of
completely in the murder. II is the theory
OF the prosecution that the Gantrells con-
spired to kill Donegsn for his money and
outfit.

A NATIONAL MILITARY RESERVE

The War Department will accom-
plish work of immense Importance
to the natien If it secures the adoption
by Congress of a plan for creating
an efficient national military reserve
that can be promptly put at the ser
vice OF the Government when needed.
Such a plan is now under preparation.
and it is understood win be submitted
to Congress at the coming session.
The state militia forces as now
conducted do not by any means meet
the necessities of the case Very few
States have militia force worthy Of
the name. That is in part due 10 the
niggardly course OF Congress. which
does not give sufficient aid in main
tanning the militia The Spanish War
demonstrated that the militia needs
in most cases almost as much train
ing as raw recruits before il is ready
for active service. With a small
standing army the necessity for a
well-equipped and web trained reserve
is Of very great Importance.
The plan under consideration by the
War Department IS said to cOntem-
plate the establishment OF national
military reserve ent rely distinct from
the state militia This reserve would
be trained by regular army officers
and would be supported By the Gov
eminent and attached to the War De
partment. There is small prospect
Of securing an efEicisnt reserve in any
other way. The different States will
hardly consent to Government control

are not willing. even In case % war.
