From Mondays Daily Gazette.

From Mondays Daily Gazette. ~
This morning the preliminary ex-
animation of Frank Renie on the
charge of assault in the first degree
took place before Justice Mann.
County Attorney Harris appeared
for the prosecution and w. NJ. JohJF
ston and H. A. Firth for the defense@.
Three witnesses were examined. They
were Tom Soloman, the victim Of
Renie's revolver, Vic Kirk and Doctor
Rinehart.
The testimony given by the two
principal witnesses was pretty much
as the story was told at the time Of
the shooting. Soloman, who testified
first, gave an account of the incidents
Immediately prior to the time he was
shot. All the parties had been drink
ing more OF less and we're having
what he described as "a god time"
Some words passed between him and
Renie and Renie struck at him, but
failed to land. Soloman returned the
blow and landed on Renie's ear. Sew
eral bystanders now interfered and
the two were separated. Subsequently
they renewed the fight and this time
clinched and rolled about on the floor.
Again they were separated and all
three, Soloman, the woman and Renie,
left the saloon, the Southern. When
they got outside Soloman said he saw
Renie about five or six feet from him
holding a revolver in his hand. Sol
oman said he made a rush for Renie
and grabbed him. In the scuffe that
ensued he said he was shot and as
soon as he felt the wound he did the
rabbit act" Asked what that was,
he said he had run off.
Miss Kinks testimony was about
the same. She said that Soloman
had said something about a sheep
herder, a remark that had angered
Renie' and he resented it. Soloman
had offered to shake hands with him,
saying he had intended no offense,
but Renie had refused to accept the
proffered hand. Soloman had made
some offensive expression and Renie
had struck at him. When the second
fight occurred she was not in the room,
but came back in time to see the men
on the floor and the others separate
them. She did not see the revolver in
Renie's hand until after the shot was
fired. At the time Soloman was
slightly in advance of her and she
saw him stop for an instant and then
close in on Renie and take hold of
him. 1t was after Soloman had grab
bed Renie that the shot was fired and
she saw the weapon. Soloman fell
IT. his knee and then arose and left.
She ran to Renie and caught him by
the arm, holding him for a short time,
after which she released him and
Renie walked up the alley, to the
west. .
Doctor Rinehart testified as to the
nature of the wound sustained by Sol
oman. ..= .
At the conclusion OF the testimony
the court ordered the defendant held
to the district court and fixed his
bond at $500. The required surety
for his appearance was furnished by
George Watkins and jeff Brewer and
Renie was released from custody

Why Not Fix Up a Little.

Montgomery City has many fine
business houses, splendid school
buildings, elegant churches, ele-
giant court house and Jail, good
streets, but many of its sidewalks
are horrid and a disgrace to the
city. This need not and should
not be so. The city Is not bank
rupt and its citizens are not pau
pcrs. Strangers coming here are
liable to at one form a bad opin-
lon of the place because OF
Its poor sidewalks. Next year
many thousands of enterprise
ing people, from towns where they
have good sidewalks, will pass
through here to and from the st.
Louis fair, and many will stop here
for various reasons. Do you want
them to go away well pleased with
the place, Or not? These are the
plain facts. Other towns and cit
les in this part of the state and in
Illinois tributary to st. Louis, are
now making such improvements
as they never have before-therc-
fore why not Montgomery. 1t Is
not too late yet to make many of
these improvements. II Is the duty
of the mayor and council OF every
city to see that the people and
their property is protected--that
people do not break their necks
and limbs on the dilapidated
sidewalks, and that the value of
property does not ~deprociate In
value from a lack OF improvements.
The city council should see that
every business house has a good
stone or brick sidewalk of proper
width In front of 1t, and the resi-
dences good board walks at least
three feet wide, and II the owners
do not build 1t themselves then let
the city build 1t for them in the
usual manner.

CUBA'S FRUIT TRADE.
Exporters Will Try to Get the United
States Markets.

Since the establishment of the Cuban re-
public that country has grown to realize
that there is a large potential trade with
the United States in the fruit industry and
merchants there are urging growers and
valuable export trade. The conditions
BILE as those of any other country which
ships fruit to the United States, while
Cuba enjoys the superior advantage of
being only three days from New York by
water.
Fruit consumption has developed to an
extra ordinary degree in this country dur
ing the past thirty years. In 1870 The total
value of these importatiOnS amounted TO
81, 600 900, while for the year ended June
coo. The value of the bananas imported
into the United States. during the year
1902 was 81 100000, drawn from the follow
ing sources: British West Indies, 50. 409,
0o9; Costa Rica; sL590 0c0: Honduras: S7oo %
900: Colonbia, $3.50 900. and Cuba, $3.50 600.
against $, 10000 in 1892. This decrease was
largely due to the internal troubles of
the island during the latter part of the
decade the culture of the fruit having
largely diminished during that time.
The value of the lemons that Italy sends
to this country in one year amounts to
s., 900, 900, and Cuba realizes that she can,
by adopting the right course. obtain a
much larger portion of the fruit trade
portation of oranges the other Islands of
the tropics are also ahead of her, the
British West Indies having made a strik
ing advance during the past few years.
It is this trade that the Cuban exporters
are now going after, and with much
in favor of the island there is good reason
for the belief that she will easily outstrip

A COLLEGE COMBINE.
All Methodist Institutions Of
Learning to Be United.

Chicago, Oct PA plan whereby all,
or nearly all, of the Methodist educa-
tional institutions in the country may be
united under one general supervising
body of directors, with Northwestern
university as the head and front, has
been disclosed by President Edmund
Jones James of Northwestern.
As evidence that the smaller institu-
tions are ready for such union, Presi-
dent James declares that already two
colleges have asked to be taken under
the protection and management of
Northwestern university, while the uni
versity has already annexed two pre-
paratory schools-the Elgin academy
and the Grand Prairie seminary of
Onarga
TT is a clearly manifest fact" said
President James last night, that if de-
nominational institutions are to do their
best work they must work in unity.
There must be harmony between the
different Institutions harmony which
will permit of one general management"
President James then went into the
details of the plan, concluding with the
statement that all of the affiliated IN
situations would be known as the
Northwestern. HIS estimate is that
there will be thirty such.
