MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE
Judge Potter Bound LaHarpe Marshal
over to District Court Under
$4,000 Bond.

The preliminary hearing of j. w.
cannon, late city marshal of LaHarpe
was concluded Tuesday noon, Judge
Potter finding the defendant guilty of
murder in the second degree and fix.
ing his bail at S5, 900.
The taking of testimony was con-
cluded Monday afternoon. One
witness for the prosecution testified
that after Cannon shot Kellender
who seems to have done most of the
resisting, Sheehan drunkcnly threw
up his hands and said: ON go with
YOU" a LaHarpe merchant testified
that the men were drunk and that he
asked Cannon to arrest them. He
said he saw the men resist the officer,
and another merchant says he heard
the officer call for help during the au-
dible scutfle inside the restaurant.
And SO the testimony was conflicting
all the way through and the bystander
who tried to form Judgment of the
facts in the case was likely to become
more confused the more he heard
The prosecution laid stress on the
fact that Kellender seemed to be
leading the resistance to authority,
practically admitting that his being
shot was justifiable. This was done
largely to make the claim more forci-
BILE that Sheehan was not acting in
such II way as to warrant shooting.
The lawyers in the lease made ex-
tended and eloquent pleas on both
sides of the case, setting out the rea-
sons pro and con for the conviction
and acquittal of the defendant. The
county attorney asked for verdict
of first degree murder, stating that
then the district court jury could find
a verdict on sthat or any milder
charge.
The decision of the courG was second
degree murder and u $1,000 bail, but
on the appeal of Cannon's attorneys
that he is poor man, dependent on
his earnings for living and unable

his best to give the bond named, fail
ing which the county attorney will
make concessions. accepting small
Ter amount. The crowd in the court
room quickly dispersed after the ver-
dict, no signs being given whether the
result was satisfactory or not.
Word from LaHarpe Tuesday
says that Mr.. Cannon will have no
trouble in giving the $4,000 bail
asked, but that an appeal will be
made to the district court to cut down
the amount.

EATS WITH HIS KNIFE.
Heroic Measures Adopted by Young
Woman To Break Her Sweet
hearts Had Habit.

An injured heart tells this tale of
woe in n letter to the Philadelphia
North Americans:
~ young gentleman has been asked
TO dine at the house Of the parents Of
the lady whom he fully intends to mar
ry if she will have him. Should the
man feel encouraged or not, provided
he was given a knife sharp as razor,
and in unguarded moments forgot his
proper table manners and lapsed into
the old habit of eating with his knife ?
He cut his tongue, also his lips, each
time he forgot his manners by using
the knife. All this in view of the fact
that the young lady was aware Of his
occasional lapse into feeding with the
knife, she having dined before in res
taurants with him. The other knives,
even the carver, were not nearly as
keen-edged. In fact, the other knives
at the table were very dull. The one
the man had could not have been
keener il it had been sharpened to
shave with"
You see the loving young man
blanching at the steel, the sweetheart
cruel only TO be kind, papa and mamma
looking on in amazement. Embar-
rassed by their presence, dazzled by
his oharmer, fascinated by the perilous
edge, the youth wounds himself again
and again, although he read treatise
on table etiquette not five minutes be-
fore he took fare for the house of his
beloved, There can be no doubt of
her merciless purpose. 1t is clear that
the carver is dull or papa wouldn't saw
the roast so. All the other knives look
innocent and incapable of hurting a
pie, much less man. The young mans
weapon Is a trenchant blade. a rapier,
q 'razZer.' No wonder he is sore. No
wonder he goes away in sadness and
perpleXity. Is she whom he thought
all sweetness no better than n savage?
knowing this weakness, should she
not have spared him?"
The instruction was pitiless, but II
seems to have been needed. It is for
the young man to be purified through
suffering. The young woman must be
a forgiying young woman or she would
have hidden him nevermore be follow
er OF hers after he had knitted himself
in the paternal and maternal presence.
There she was justly sharp with him.
If nothing but bloodshed will cure him
of the odious habit, let blood flow! II
is for the fellows own good. If he can
be reformed, If he can be reclaimed
from the ranks Of the lnife-eaters, Sc
verify must do It. No doubt kindness
has been tried at the restaurants, and
has been found unavaiing. What will
teach this intractable BOBBY the prop
err use OF the knife? In the words OF
Mrs Micawber's papa, experience
does It.
