 A Quick Witness.
 The court refused to allow it to be introduced. and Chung Hing, alias Charley. d Chiuamau. born in 1871 at Carson City. New, was called. Charley was witness at the preliminary eXami- nation, and the story he told was sub stantially the same. He said he was first to see the shooting on jan. 9. He heard the first shot. turned his head and saw the second and third; he swore idly: he saw James stagger and fall in sitting posture at the second shot. and at the third he fell on his back. CT a> the witness put it he lay out flat on the ground" The witness illustrated James position when the last two shots were fired: he also testified positively that the Derrin9er fell out of James hand. and identified the gun shown a. being similar to the one he saw fall. When the second shot was fired James hand was at his side. Men came run- ming up. he said. and someone said tC get doctor and Jolley said. he don't need no doctor; done him up,' or words to that effect.
 "How were the shots fired:' asked the prosecution.
 LOW, Ow! Ow' said the witness,
 very quick.
 McGinn asked ''wherc was Mcln- tosh:" another eye witness) and Char ley replied: oh, he's gone. run away. and the kids gone too.'
 An attempt wa, made to show that there was a discrepancy in the witness statements as to the position of James right hand, and the witness declared me no tell him lie: said his hand at right side" He also said that James tried to touch .Joliey. but he couldn' t. the second shot hit him. Il can sweat a thousand times that the gun fell out o James hand," said the witness.
 Throughout the cross examination by the prosecution the witness adhered tC his story.
 W. (. kurtz wa, the next witness He was also witness at the prellm mary examination and his testimon, was substantially the same as ther given He testified that on the morn l ing of Jan. : he heard someone Il Jolley's house, adjoining that in which the witness lived, using abusive Ian guage. He heard voice saying Come out here. you ------ and I'll kill you He recognized the voice as tha of James. and he saw him, comt out of the house. He asked James wha the trouble was. to which he replied "Nothing. the --- 1 ought to xii him." Jolley was there and signallet to Kurtz to keep quiet.
 The prosecution tried to show tha Kurtz was an interested witness. but he denied it pointedly. and an attempt to connect him with the expulsion of 5 H. Stevens from the Eagles also failed of it's object. Court then adjourned.

The next witness was May Russell whose testimony went to show that the evidence of Lottie Wilson, the prose- cutiOn's star witness. was manufactured rather coarsely and by unskilful artis- ans. The witness stated that she had known Lottie Wilson three years pretty well: that she lived back of the Pioneer saloon, and had conversation with the Wilson woman few days be- fore the shooting aifray. The latter told her that she was going to have James written up in the Gold Digger for stealing coal coal oil and other articles if James didn't pay her $75 which he owed her.
 McGinn wanted the testimony ex- cluded, but the court held against him, and the witness went on to say that Lottie Wilson had consulted with her as to sending for Jolley; the latter stated that she had no acquaintance with him and that he had never been to James, cabin.

not worry over that $7J: he would pay | her that and more too: he had told her
 thlt often. Stevens told her she could have anything she wanted II she would
 only testify against Johey; he would see her through, therefore she llIOttie ! Wilsonl was going to do anything Stevens wanted her to do: he was her best friend. Lottic told her this often.
 She also told the witness that James
 had stolen ccal. coal oil and guns from the N. C. Co. and was about to steal
 blankets from the city prison only that she and James had q row about that time. She also said that while James stole cCal etc. she stood in her door and watched him.
 Dr. Rininuer followed and testified that on the evening of Jan. $ he was called to visit Lottie Wilson. and the latter told him that James had put a pistol to her head and threatened to
 kill her. Dr. RininGer also testified
 that Jullty had a conversation with
 him in reference to James removal from the police force: he also testified
 as to the bullet wound in James right cheek stating that in his opinion it could not have been inflicted while
 James was lying on the ground in the
 positions described. He also testified to lolley'S general reputation which he
 said wa, good, and that Jolley never drank CT cambled and he minded his own business.
 McGinn wanted to know if he had not
 heard that ,Jolley had killed a man in
 Butte and the witness said he believed
 that Jolley had told him so himself

Desiring that the public should be fully
advised Of the progress of the strike on the
part Of some Of it's employees and being con-
hdent that the company is absolutely right
in its position, the following statement is
made:
After a conference held between the on
GERS Of the company and a committee of
employees accompanied by the business
agent of the union. at which the entire
matter was carefully discussed in every de-
tail and some notifications Of the present
schedule of wages for men employed In
toll line gangs, we're offered by the COM
pany 1t was admitted by the committee as
we'll. as by the business agent Of the union
that there were now no differences between
the men and the company not practically
reconciled. except the question of making
It a union job"
The company insisted that its position
was now, as in the past, that mo person
should be Disseminated against on account
OF membership or non-membership In any
labor organization; and there must be no
discrimination against or interference with
any employe who is not a member OF any

hrmation or rejection. Until that time the

A committee consisting Of Chairman
Boyd and Guy G. Barton was named at the
last meeting of the board to take up the
question of an appraiser and make a re-
port as soon as possible. A few days later
Mr.. Barton, by reason Of poor health, left
with his wife for a trip to the Hawaiian
islands, and M. T. Barlow was named In
HIS place to assist Chairman Boyd in pick
/ ing out an engineer. Last week arrange
ments were made for the two members to
make a trip east to investigate and con-
| slider the qualifications Of men best suited
for the task. Mr.. Barlow, however, could
not 90, so the chairman made the trip
alone.
Chairman Boyd spent three days In Chi
cago consulting with expert engineers and
men who are prominent in the construction
and maintenance OF municipal water supply
plants. He returned home Saturday and
intended to call a meeting of the board al
once, but has been prevented from doing 'sc
