Butte, April 26.-J. w. Kelly, who
is charged with the murder of DR.. H.
A. Cayley last October, was on the
witness stand for about an hour in
Judge McClernan's court Saturday. He
substantiated the statement OF his
counsel to the effect that he found
Dr. Cayley in his room, in company
with Madame La Bonta and, thinking
he was in imminent danger of his
life, fired two shots. When Kelly was
asked to relate the circumstances OF
the fateful night, there was q pro-
found silence in the court room as
the question was asked. There was
sudden change in Kellys manner, as
he commenced to tell of the shooting.
1t was evident that he was deeply at
fected and with considerable feeling
proceeded in his narrative.
Il walked up the stairs and opened
the door of my room and walked in.

as was my custom, when entered the
room There was no answer. The

across it to turn on the light. Then

me, and tripped over some clothes
on the floor. My glasses fell off as

hands to save himself from falling

Who are you? How did you come il
here?' Then went to the telephone
and called the police station. Thel
the man called my name. He said
Kelly, come here, want to talk t.
you. Don't call the police said
How did you get in here? Who ar
you" He said, I am DR.. Cayley; don
talk so loud.' l was talking loud. HI
asked me to put some clothes owe
him and as l did he said: What di'
you call the police for? You don

She Left Him Gold. and Silver Mines
Worth Millions.


Lincoln, Neb., April 26-From an in
come of $45 month as an Oiler on
the Burlington railroad to the sole
ownership of two gold and silver
mines near Butte, Mont, estimated to
be worth $5,OO0,OO0, is the pipe dream
that has just come true for George
w. Gunter of Lincoln.
The bequest came unexpectedly and
from curious source-a former sweet
heart. Years ago Gunter and the
girl were engaged. Something came
between them, and, although there
was no actual breach, they drifted
apart.
She married a man who afterwards
struck it rich in the Montana fields.
A year ago he died, just four months
after 'Gunter had married second
love. The rich widow visited Gunter
a few months ago. She was then on
her way to Kansas City hospital
where she afterwards died under the
surgeons knife.
= Gunter was stunned to hear a few
days ago the the widow, who was
schildless and bereft of kin, had left
him everything as a token of Their
early love. He today received official
confirmation. He leaves tomorrow
for his former home at Denver, anG
will proceed from there to Butte.

edness-Generaf Indiana News.

Special 10 the Indianar rolls Journal.
MUNCIE. Ind. Aug. 19.-Mayor Knots, of
Hammond. was in Muncie to-day on legal
business. When questioned concerning his
famous letter TO the manufacturers of
Hammond. requesting them to employ no
one but married men, he said that many
papers had taken the wrong view entirely
of his proposition. He said he did not mean
the letter as a sensational attack on bach
elorism but as a serious expression of his
views on great economic question.
MY idea said the mayor. lis that the
wage earners of Hammond shall haze some
economic responsibility besides their wages.
They should have families, should own
property. which condition make peace and
contentment in any city. / do not mean
that every employee should be a married
man but, if he is any good at all. he should
soon become property owner. That is the
first step toward his becoming husband
and father. When a man has these respon-
sibilities he willfbecome good peace-lov-
ing. fearless citizen. who will foster the
best interests of his city and shun the little
differences which have i'm many cases
aroused serious and destructive strikes
I'm the great railroad riots which we had
at Hammond in 1894, continued the mayor,
the men who clustered and did the bully
ing were the ones who had no responsible
lily. When the soldiers came these men fled
from the city. Had they been married, had
they had homes and property in Hammond,
had they felt that they were fighting for
home. liberty and against oppression. they
would have met the soldiers with the
courage of men who knew they were right.
But this would not have been necessary,
for the married man or the property
holder would have settled the trouble to
the benefit of both the striker and the en-
ployer without the shedding of blood.
Il am not lightly attacking bachelors and
old maid societies as the papers would have
you believe" said the mayor i'm concluding
his talk to the Journal representative, but
this is a serious question with me- / am
wrestling with an economic question which
hope to settle, to some extent, for the
betterment of my city,.

MARION Ind, Aug. 19.-The strike of the
electrical workers employed by the United
Telephone Company assumed another phase
to-day Four nonunion electrical workers
were imported last night and went to work
this morning, in spite of an effort on the
part of the strikers to prevent it by persua-
sion. Four other electrical workers are ex-
pected to arrive during the night. 1t is said
the nonunionists are accompanied by pri-
vate detectives, who will watch the actions
of the strikers and arrest any vioators of
the law.
The strikers have asked the Central
Trades Council to boycott the telephone
company by referendum vote. A COM
mittee from the strikers was sent out this
morning for the purpose of calling on every
subscriber of the company and asking
them to disconnect their telephones until
the trouble is settled. The difficulty arose
over the refusal of the United Telephone
Company to sign a new scale of wages.
Other companies employing electrical work
ers have signed the scale.
At conference this evening between
committee representing the striking cleo
trical workers ana officials of the United
Telephone Company, Manager Patton
stated to the men that he would deal with
them as individuals, but that his COM
pany would refuse to recognize them as
representatives OF the union. The COM
pany announces that it will not discriminate
between nom union and union men in en-
ploying workmen. This is the second COM
pany OF Marion to take stand against OF
