HELD FOR TRIAL.
Winfield Murder Suspect Placed
Under S., 200 Bond.

Winfield. Kas.. Feb. 5.-The prelimi-
nary examination of O. w. Coffelt,
charged with the murder of G. C. Mont
gomery, came to a close this morning
after the twelfth witness had been ex-
amined Although the evidence was
largely circumstantia1, the prisoner was
held for the April term of the district
court under $4,000 bond.
THE PRELIMINARY HEARING.
The examination of o. w. Coffelt,
charged with the murder of Santa Fe
city, October 5, was comm enced in JUS
tice Webb'S court Tuesday. County At
torney Torrance is assisted in the pros
ecutlOn by &. w. Roberts, and hackney
& Lafferty are defending Coffelt The
state introduced a dozen witnesses, the
principal ones of whom We're Colonel
Ferguson, who had found tracks near
the Montgomery home, and made them
fit exactly with those of the accused
man.
Ed Donnelly, a Santa Fe night opera
tor at Hackney, at the time of the muir
der. told of d man coming into the depot
at II o'clock and asking for news of
the murder at Winfield and of his tele
graphing for news and receiving word
to hold the man, but being unable to do
SO on account of the man pulling a gun
on him. He was unable to identify Cof-
felt.
S. F. Oustat, a farmer, testified that
DG was -CdlHp00 SOutL Ol I1dChlSy L4AC
night of the murder and about IL
O'Clock a man answering Coffelt'S de-
scription came up to his wagon hurried
ly and said he was ready and afterward
said he guessed he had made a mis-
take" and got into another carriage
nearby and went south. 8. ]. West, of
Tisdale, testified that he was in Ponca
City, October 5, and that Coffelt came
to a livery barn and left a horse and
saddle, subject to the orders of ranch
101. Sheriff Foster, of Noble county, o.
T., testified that Coffelt had told him of
being in Ponca City and leaving the
horse and saddle.
The evidence introduced so far tends
to show that Coffelt was in Winfield the
night of the murder, but no direct con-
nection with the crime has been estab-
1ished, aside from the tracks. The state
has few more witnesses to examine
and then the defense will introduce its
20 witnesses.
George w. Miller his two sons, and
number of his employees from ranch 101
are in attendance at the trial. some as
witnesses and others as spectators. An
effort is being made by the prosecution
to connect them with the crime. Coffelt
is former employe of ranch 101. Coffelt
was very nervous throughout the hear
ing today.

THE LAST Gun.
Kitchener Reports That He Has
Captured De Vets Last One.

London, Feb 5.-The British pursuit
of General De Wet has been successful
to the extent that his last gun has been
captured and Commandant Vessels,
one of his principal lieutenants, has
been routed. Lord Kitchener sent the
news in a dispatch from Pretoria dated
Tuesday, February 4, as follows:
"Byng's column, while proceeding
towards Liebenburgylei, after a night
march attacked and routed a consider
able force of the enemy under Com
mandant Vessels. We captured a 15-
poundeE and a pompom taken from Fir
mans column, and also a Boer POM
pom that was the last gun De Wet had,
and three wagons of ammunition, $50
horses and 100 mules. The Boer casual
ties were five men killed, six wounded
and 27 men captured.
Among the killed was Field Cornet

TAFT CONTINUES.
Governor of Philippines Still
Before Senate Committee.

Washington, Feb 5.-In his state
ment before the senate committee on
the Philippines today Governor Taft
dealt especially with the question of
the relationship of the civil and military
authorities in the Philippines and his
explanation was received with much in
terest by members of the committee.
The day session began with the un-
derstanding that there should be no in
terruption by members of the commit
tee until the presentation of this entire
branch of the subject was com pleted.
Governor Taft said that originally the
civil and military control of the islands
had been in the hands of the military
ference of opinion between the military
officials and commission as to the
method of proceeding. The difference
had arisen with General Macarthur
and there had been more or less CORE
spondence on the subject. The general
had contended that authority over the
islands was vested in the military and
the representative of the chief executive
because the islands were in state of
war In this view the commission did not
concur. This difference did not, how
ever, extend to the control of the
municipalities
In this connection, Governor Taft ex-
planned at some length the contention
between the commission and General
Chaffee which had, he said arisen over
the habeas corpus provision in the COM
missions code. That provision had been
inserted, he said, to protect native Off
GERS who surrendered and who are sub
ject to arrest on charge of crimes COM
mitted while in the insurrection service,
believed to be contrary to the rules of
civilized warfare. Such charges against
these men were common and often they
were unfounded. The provision had,
however, been invoked in the interest
of an enlisted man serving in Cebu,who
was seeking to secure his release from
the military service in an indirect way.
Thus q conflict had arisen and the
question had been referred to Washing
ton with the result that instructions
had come back that the differences
must be compromised General Chaffee
and 1 are on the friendliest and most
cordial terms" he said.
And we had no difficulty in reaching
an understanding after a prolonged
conference"

There were about 100000 of them out

the treasury to pay them.

has been presented to Republican MEM

proposed by Mr.. Babcock might be left
