lead and both men received charge

also fatally injured by the same charge

HAD AN INAUGURATION.

That Twigg was insane or was suffer
ing under a halucination that the people
OF Winfield We're down on him and that
he was being followed is borne out by
his letter published in yesterdays Eagle.
and the fact that he told a number of
persons in Winfield that he was being fol-
lowed. He laid all his troubles to his love
affairs, of which he had a number. but
the one that troubled him most was the
one eight or nine years ago when he was
Tilted by a Miss Jesse Hamilton. H,
seemed under the impression that the
friends of this young lady were follow
ing him about and he told Frank Ballien.
a fellow employee of the Baden mills, that
the friends of this girl followed him
from place to place. and even to the Phil
ippines.
Twigg was raised about fifteen miles
north of Winfield and spent the greater
part OF his life in that section. He learn
ed the millers trade near Winfield. Dur
ing the past eight or ten years he has
travelled about extensively. He served
in the army in Cuba and the Philippines.
Chaunee Wells. well known young
man of Winfield. was Twigg's bosom
friend and probably knew him better than
any other man in the town. When Twigs
left Winfield last some two or three
years ago, he was the same jovial, com
panionabie fellow. After serving In the
Philippines he worked in Great Falls,
haont., and September a year ago wrote
to Chawce Wells This letter was very
good one and shows nothing 70 indicate
that he was insane. 1t is as good social
letter as any one would be likely to find.
He returned to Winfield on Decoration
Day and Mr. Wells said that he was not

BOUGHT GUN AUGUST 1.

Twigg bought the gun and shells which
did the terrible work of Winfield and
Miller hardware and china dealers He
was in the store twice that day and
finally purchased a double barrel shot
gun for fifteen dollars. He then called
for two boxes of No. ; buekshot and
Mr.. Winfield asked Twigg where he was
going TO use so much heavy ammunition.
Twigg replied II haven't decided yet"
The powder was a semi smokeless of
not extra quality and was packed into
the shell Chief Burt was shown one
of the shells last night and after an ex-
animation stated that many of the peo-
pie could owe their lives to the fact that
the powder was packed into the shells

this.

when the first shots rang out. He looked
out and as the volleys continued to come
he took his shot gun and started to find
the man who was doing the shooting.
Mr.. Ferguson stated to the Eagle that
the first thought that came TO him was
that there was an attempt to rob the
bank and the shooting was done to scare
the people He rushed into Main street
and then through the drug store into the
alley where Twigg was getting in his
deadly work.

FIRE SWEPT STREET.


T'wigg's fire swept almost all OF Ninth
street. The first two shots he fired were
almost directly up the sidewalk and the
others, at least ten and possibly a dozen
shots were fired, were directed at different
sections of the street. and the imprints
of bullets on buildings and the holes
through windows show that every inch
of the street was covered during the
firing. and it is really miraculous that a
hundred. instead of thirty or forty. were
not killed or injured. Each of the shells
were loaded with three and a quarter
drachms Of semi-smokeless powder and
twelve No. buckshot. At least 40 bull
lets were fred into the crowd

sidewalk about forty feet east of the

Seek Gulf Outlet.
Result of Advance in Grain Rates
by Eastern Lines.

! dLCc " IilO AlidIllIC COdSL Is lIhcl
to result in the construction O
requirement OF an Independent
outlet to the gulf by the Burlington
and probably some of the othe
Chicago Missouri river lines. West
ern roads having no lines to tn,
gulf are practically shut out of Tx
export -four and grain business
| from Nebraska, Kansas and othel
Southwestern point on account o
the prohibitive rates established by
the Eastern roads. Even at the
10! cent rate to New York the gull
roads had the advantage in the rate
OF 9 cents, and with the 2-cent
advance to New York the rate to
the Atlantic coast is at least II
cents higher from the Missouri river
than the rate from Kansas City to
the gulf.
The Burlington, which runs
through the center of Nebraska, will
be more seriously affected than any
Of the other roads. Negotiation are
said to have been opened by Mr..
Hill with the management of the
Santa Fe, and the latter appears to
be favorable to granting the Burling-
ton trackage rights over its lines
from Superior, Neb., to Gaveston
Texas.
There seems to be little question
that the supremacy of the seaports
on the gulf has already been estab-
lished as natural consequence of
close proximity to the producing
field and lower rates to tide water.
One question, however, remains
to be solved before that supremacy
can be vouchsafed as at all perman-
ent. That question is one resulting
from climatic conditions. The ports
on the Atlantic have the advantage
over the gulf ports in that cooler
weather prevailing argues for the
better preservation Of grain. War
mer and damper atmosphere on the
gulf seriously impairs the quality
of wheat, which rots and moIds by
sweating. The greatest problem to
be solved is the successful establish
ment of an elevator process which
will both preserve the grain and
come within the range of CONNER
cial feasibility. The Illinois Gen.
trail, which has already expended
over 100000 for the erection of
an elevator at New Orleans that has
thus far proved unsatisfactory, is
attempting to solve the problem by
a new and original method.
Heretofore cold storage method
has been resorted to to insure the
preservation of the grain, but the
great expense entailed has demon
strated the impracticability of the
scheme. Second Vice President
Harrahan of the Illinois Central
has placed the matter in the hands
OF an expert, who now in Houston.
The gentleman in question is con-
tident that he has already reached
solution which will prove both
practical and reasonable in pointbf
expense. By the use of electricity
the expert proposes to remove
dampness and heat from the ele-
vators. The scheme has been work
ed out in detail and will shortly be
put into practical operation by the
Illinois Central at New Orleans.
When the question of securing
preservation of grain at gulf ports
despite unfavorable climatic con-
ditions is successfully solved by the
plan outlined above, the supremacy
of gulf ports as natural exporting
points for the grain of the Missis-
sippi valley will be established for
