The Big Rain Nysdnesdnr.

A good rain fell over the greater
part of the county Wednesday evening.
In some localities the rain was very
heavy, and accompanied by hail in
some sections.
Several parties. who had been at
tending court, were unable to reach
their homes lying TO the northwest Of
GOOdland because of a food on the
South Beaver about five miles from
town.
At Swan Nelson's place a damaging
hail storm occurred breaking out all
the windows in the east side Of the
house, and destroying growing crops
on the farm. The bluffs along the
Beaver looked like mountains covered
with snow, and the next day at noon
heaps Of hail five feet deep could be
found along the wash Of the creek.
Mr.. Nelson brought In q sack Of hail

"FIGBTING" JOE WATERS.
A Attorney in the ScheI Case The Capt
ain Did Hard Battle for His Client
Some Characterization

Most persons who witnessed the high
contention Of Fighting Joe" Waters 10
the Schell case this week doubtless
thought that grim visaged war had
raised his wrinkled front. Because Of
bis tireless energy and an uDfiioching
determination to fix the head of the Op-
position upon his battlemeDts, he has
been characterized as Fighting joe
Especially the witnesses In the trial who
confronted his grisiey top and rotund
thunderings had 70 be on their guard
against his willy interrogstions, lest,
amid the belching fire and smoke, they
lose their way.
That he IS thus seems not at all Won
derful when it is known that Fighting
Joe" stormed Missionary Ridge and
drove General Bragg clear of Lookout
Mountain and chased the JOhnnies
around the stump at Chickamaugua
and Chattanooga. He was q good and
hardy soldier from 81 TO SO. Boldly IS
private went he forth
'His not to reason why,
His but to do and die
Although he did not die. nor lose his
reason, he 50 "dOubly redOubled strokes
upon the foe" that u 1853. when he re-
signed to study law, he was marching at
the head Of a hundred men in the regu-
lar army. To-day Mr.. Waters is a crim-
inal lawyer Of some reputation In this
calling he has clad himself with strength
and high ambition. Rich IN content at
least, he has never asked any party for
any office, and judging from the native
vigor Of his speech when ne says 80,
there Is good reason to believe he never
will. That he believes IN politics there
is still DO doubt.
Occasionally he makes a red hot POlit-
ical speech to call back parties from er-
ratio course; or If a leader be at fault he
is straightBay made, IN flowing verse
the bad hero Of q bad eminence.
Fighting joe does not believe IN
having greatness thrust upon him-he
had rather achieve It. Hence he is not
a newspaper man, neither does be be-
Iieve in newspapers especially IN those
which speak his name, either for better
OF for worse. He Is like DO other man
in mind or bOdy-a unique creation.

car at the Rock Island yards and steal
ing a slab Of bacon upon which he and
eight other sbums" Toasted.

pany with H. D. Thompson and T. J.
Barnett. Harding was located in Kan
sas City soon after and brought back
upon requisition papers It was upon
the wording Of the application for the
requisition that Attorney Murphy
based his plea to quash the informa-
ton. In making the affidavit for re-
QUESTION papers County Attorney
Andrews stated that be "verily be-
lieved" Harding, alias Black, was a
fugitive from justice, whereas the
statement should have been q positive
one. Judge Smith sustained the mo-
ton argued by Mr.. Murphy and order
ed Harding discharged. In delivering
his opinion the judge remarked that
he did not think Harding should be
further pursued, which is in harmony
with the opinion Of most people &C
quainted with the case.

hours the jury in the ScheIl murder

was asked to vacate the box until the

court house, headed by their foreman,
James Haney, an oppressive silence
hung over all, unbrOIzen save by the
tramping of the jurors feet. Schell wore
no coat; his hair was smoothly laid and
his face smooth shaver excepting his

The defendant expressed no perceptible
emotion.
At this moment Mr.. Waters arose and
asked for a new trial. basing his motion
upon the allegation that Juror An
drews had, some time after the shooting,
said that ScheH ought to be hung.
Judge Smith took the motion under con-
sideration and dismissed the jury, end
ing, at present at least. the Schell mur-
der case.
As was stated in last weeks issue,
court was adjourned Thursday forenoon
on account Of the severe illness Of Juror
HoIlenbeck's wife. Mr.. Hollenbeck re-
turned for court duty Saturday morning,
when the testimony in the case was in
trOduced.
The Testimony.
The testimony of the first witness for
the prosecution, Morton Justus, was re-
ceived by the defense with no attempt
to controvert it. Since his story of the
shooting was even approved by both
sides, it is probably the median line
between the two extremes. In sub
stance his sworn statement of the shoot
ing was as follows:
On the evening of March Is, 1902, he
and Mr. Tippins were eating supper IN
the Hartman restaurant when William
II. Frazer, a locomotive fireman entered
and purchased some oranges. Mean
while Tippins walked behind the cigar
case and taking out two cigars, handed
one to Justus and put the other one in
his mouth. Tippins began to hum a
tune and paid no attention to Frazer,
who was standing near by, but for some
reason the latter took offence and said
to Tippins, That's q nice way you
passed me up. I'm a gentleman and
don't intend to be insulted." Justus,
experimenting trouble, stepped outside
and nodded TO Tippins to come away.
Frazer followed and when outside re
peated about the same words as before
and said he could whip Tippins, who
agreed with him at first, but finally dis
agreeing, Frazer pulled of his coat and
made at Tippins- Frazer forced Tippins
to the middle Of the street, Immediately
after which a friendly settlement began
and they walked back to the sidewalk.
Frazer apolOgized and the noise had
subsidized somewhat when Marshal Sehell
learning OF the disturbance, came up
and ordered the crowd to disperse and
Frazer 70 move on. Frazer was taken
in tow By Justus and Collup, and they
started south, but when they had gone g
little way Frazer ierked loose and to the
words Of Schsll to 'move on" asked i

PRINCE MUST HUSTLE
DEMAND ON HENRY,s TIME Is
GREAT
VIII Make Two Trips to Washington,
VIII See Niagara Falls and May
Honor Chicago With
n Visit.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The commit
tee charged with the arrangements for
the reception and entertainment Of
Prince Henry today decided that 1t
would be impossible to yield to the
requests Of the many cities to have the
prince visit them. 1t is likely besides
New York, Washington and Niagara
Falls, the journey will include Chicago
only Of the large cities.
1t was decided, owing to the tide, to
have the launch occur on the original
date, Feb. 25. This will necessitate two
trips on the part of the prince between
New York and Washington. The prince
will come to Washington from New
York, arriving here on the morning of
Feb. "a. He will be met at the station
by military escort and conveyed to the
German embassy He will next visit
the president, and the president will re-
turn his call at the German embassy.
Some time Monday evening the presiden-
t1al party and the prince VIII leave
Washington for New York, and they
will see the launch at half past 10 O'Clock
Tuesday morning.
This plan involves a return to Wash
1ngton OF the entire party, and 1t Is
likely that on the 18th the prince will
be entertained at dinner at the White
house. On the 9th he Is to be one OF
the company present at the capitol when
Secretary Hay delivers the Mckinley
memorial address to congress. After a
few social exchanges the prince, in
charge Of the reception committee, will
start on short tour, winding up at
New York in time to san on the Column

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. lS.-A special
from Victor, Iowa, says:
AS the Denver limited passenger train

through this town this morning at 6:55,
the boiler of engine No. HOO exploded, re-
sulting in the death of the engineer and
fireman and slight injuries to two porters
and a brakeman. The killed are:
w. WILLIAMS, of Brooklyn, engineer.
e. HOAR, of Valley Junction, Iowa,
fireman
The accident took place within $50 feet
of the depot and the explosion aroused
the whole town. The force of the ex-
plosion threw >-ae seven coaches of the
train from the track, but only over
turned the Des Moines Pullman. Forum
ately the passengers were uninjured.
Pieces of the wrecked engine were strewn
around to distance of 200 feet and the

this grade the accident occurred. Supt.
Lawrence, Of this division, arrived in a
