half today. He said that at the time

store and then went across the street
and went into the courthouse, and then
Immediately went to Hargis' store and
up into room with James Hargis,
Kingford, Ed Callahan and Dougal
Hays. The shooting seemed to come
from the courthouse.
Jutt on cross-examination made a bad
impression. He was sullen and often
refused to answer. He admitted that
he was drinking on the day of the
shooting The defense, to prove an
;llibi for Jet. placed Newton Campbell.
Douglass Hayes. James Brophy and
Cash Williams on the stand, and all
swore that Jett at the time of the
shooting was in Hargis Bros. store.
When the shots We're fired HarSis
told Jett to go over to the courthouse
and to close the doors and not 10 allow
any one to pass either in or out of the
courthouse. G.. a. Atkinson said he az
tended Cockriii after being shot and
he, Cockrill, said he did not know who
shot him. Argument will begin tomor-

AN OPENING sKIRMIsH.

London, Sept. 21.-A dispatch from
the town of Guilchevo. on the Turco
Bulgarian frontier, to the daily Mail,
reports that great excitement prevails
in the district because of q skirmish
that occurred between the Turkish and
Bulgarian troops Saturday on the
mountain range, which forms the bor-
der line. The general impression is
that war is only a question of a few
days and the people are removing their
property from the frontier districts to
places of safety.
The dispatch adds that Turkey is
massing 10000 troops III and around
Palank4. ien miles from the Bulgarian
fl Ontier. against which force the Bul-
garians have only 1000 at Kostendal.
The Turkish frontier officers says i

feated with great slaughter near Mel

Is Nothing Below Absolute

PRESENT ENGLISH CRISIS

That End-Both Parties Are Making
Bids for the Support Of the Irish
Party.

London, Sept. 21.-The question Of
support of the nationalist party for the

subject of negotiations between the
government and the Irish leaders. 1t
Is reported that Chief Irish Secretary
Wyndham is offering a concession in
The shape of Il Roman Catholic college
at Dublin. while the nationalists on
the other hand are demanding Il meas
ure of local self-government as the
price of their support.
Whether or not these statements are
well founded, it appears clear that tbs
nationalists intend to use the cabinet
crisis as 4 lever. VIM O'Brien. NJ. P,
speaking at Cork tonight declared ur-
equivocally that both the English par
ties were broken and that the solid
irish party would meet which ever
came out on top.
The future aim Of the Irish party
he said, was Ireland d nation" and
i intended to adopt position of inde-
pendence and hold their hands until
terms could be obt2iled.
