TtLLS HIS SIDE OF SHOOTING
Examination Of Dsfe ant Who
Took the Stand In HE
Own Behalf

LEXINGTON, s. c., Oct. s.-The ex.
animation of James r. Tillman, who
went on the stand during the last hour
yesterday as a witness In his owa be-
half. was resumed today. He was
asked what impression was made upon
him by the editorials written by Mr..
Gonzales. He replied that they were
intensely bitter.
In reply to questions said he had
been in such close places that he
could not come to Columbia and say
what he had said on the stump. He
said it had been reported to him that
the opera house in Columbia where he
was to speak was to be packed and he
was not to get out alive. He states
that If the threat was carried out 1t
would be the most disastrous tragedy
in South Carolina.
Mr.. Tillman said he was walking
down from the state house after the
adjournment of the state senate. jan
uary Is, in company with Senator'S
Talburn and Brown. At the transfer
station he said he noticed Mr.. Gonzales
down the street looking at him in
tently. He said he, defendant. had on
his overcoat, buttoned. He said he
never took his eyes off Gonzales and that
Gonzales did not take his eyes on
him. He said Mr.. Gonzale had on an
loercoat lightly buttoned with hands
in his pockets, thumbs sticking out.
Mr. Gonzales cut diagonally across in
front of him and the thumb OF his
right hand disappeared in his pocket.
He said he thought Mr.. Gonzales was
going to draw weapon, and he fired
first, saying: Il got your message"
The message, he said, referred to the
statements reported to him by witnesses
White and Holsenbach.
These statements were to the effect
that Gonzales had said he had made
Tillman show the white feather twice
before and he would do it again.
The defendant said he did not fire
a second shot as Mr.. Gonzales did not
draw pistol.
On cross examination the defendant
said he had reason to expect, from the
moment he saw Gonzales, that he
would shoot when they met. He also
said he sent word to Mr.. Gonzales to
come to the meeting at the opera house
lin Columbia and make his charges,
then saying he did this so he coui4

EGBERT'S PAST
RECORD GIVEN
Crimes Committed Before He
Became a Double Muir
derer. Sunday

The Roseburg, Oregon, Review, of
the 7th has the following in regard to
Frost, or Egbert, wanted for the mrr-
der of two men in Ha' ney county last
Sunday:
News reached the Review late Tues
day evening that a desperate had
killed deputy sheriff of Harvey coun-
ty, Oregon, and that it was suspected
that the criminal was a fugitive from
justice for a crime committed in this
county.
Upon learning this, Sheriff Parrott
at once suspected that the criminal
was Jack Frost, who, he recently
learned, was in the southern part of
Harvey county, about $50 miles from
Burns, Oregon. Frost was wanted
here for burglary, having some months
ago entered the house of Mr.. Moore
of the firm of Mack & Co., at Drain,
and stolen some jewelry and other art
icles. Upon learning about where he
was stopping, a deputy sheriff of
Harvey county was sent OF appre-
hend him.
This morning, upon telegraphic in
quiry, Sheriff Parrott, received a mes
sage from Sheriff Thos. Allen, of Har-
ney county, verifying the report and
giving further information of the ter
rible double crime. 1t appears tina!
Deputy Sheriff Santon of Burns, first
found and arrested Frost on Sept. oath
but that the desperate escaped from
him on the same day. Santon kept on
his trail, however, and with Jack West
again overlook him on Sunday, 0ct
4th. In attempting to again arrest
him, both Santon and West were
killed and Frost escaped going toward
Nevada when last traces of him were
seen.
/ Frost, who is now a double murder
er, had a previous bad reputation. He
was sent to the penitentiary for
year from Lane county, for larceny, In
March, 1901, being then but % years
old For that crime he was arrested
near Drain by the late Sheriff Withers
After committing the burglary al
Drain he went to Gillian county, Ore
gon, but his whereabouts wa6 not
known to the officers until he left
there recently, his uncles wife depart
ing with him. They went to the
southern part of Harvey county, in
the STEMS Mountain country, where
he was overtaken, as above stated
For his last foul crime he will doubt

FIRE IN A
CARLIN HOTEL
Entire Town Saved Only BY
the Hardest WOrk-WaS
During the High Wind

CARLIN, New, Oct. 10.-Special to
Daily Silver State.-Fire caught in the
roof of j. Isolas hotel near the front
at 1915 yesterday afternoon and ragged
for half an hour, famed by a strong
south wind.
The whistle at the railroad pump
house summoned large crowd, who
quickly had a large stream Of water
from the pump house playing on the
blaze.
For while it seemed as though the
whole Of the business block was
doomed, as the Isola hotel is second on
the southern end of long row OF
buildings, built so closely together
that barely a foot of space separates
them from one another
With the violent south wind blow
ing. the prospect of confining the blaze
to the Isola hotel were indeed very
small
The owners of the adjoining houses
quickly moved their belongings into
the street. Mr.. Linebarger's large
two story hotel on the south side and
next to Isola's was fortunate in es-
Gaping without a scorch.
The origin of the fire has not been
.aseertained, but is supposed to have
caught from a spark from the Isola
kitchen.
The loss will amount to five or six
hundred dollars. with no insurance,
The front of the building is badly
charred and the interior of the bar
damaged by water as well as fire.
The four inch hose and heavy stream
of water from the railroad pump house
saved the town as there was no other
available water supply.

IT IN TWO
MINUTES
Scorpion Ran the Mile in Two
Minutes, -Four and Three
FOurthS Seconds

V. Buttons horse, Scorpion, ran
the race against time this afternoon,
shortly after l o'clock and failed to
make good the boast of his owner that
he could make a mile on the track
across theriver from Winnemucca in
wo minutes. Notwithstanding the
fact that he lost, Scorpion made a
pretty run against great odds, and
crossed the line in 2:04A, which is
conceded to be excellent time, con-
idering the circumstances.
The race was witnessed by large
crowd of Winnemucca people, includ-
ing many ladies, and there were many
present from Paradise, Golconda and
other places in the county.
The judges were VIM. Brown, Ed
Johnson and Richard Bliss. Their de-
cision as to time was accepted without
a dissenting word and the result OF
the race caused no ill-feeling. The
money representing the amount of the
Staunton, $500 a side was paid over TO
Mr.. Staunton, as was also the amount
OF the side bet between Shorty"
Johnson and Dave, for 800. Several
hundred dollars changed hands, nearly
all wagers being paid at the track.
Following the big race was quarter
mile dash between horses owned by
Charlie Byrnes and Shorty" Kill
bourne, both of Paradise. The lat
ter's horse won this race in "a Sec
ohds, the amount of the purse not be-
ing stated.
The sporting blood of Senator d. J.
Biggins became warmed up to such an
extent that he issued a challenge for
20-yard sprint for $50 and was taken
up by W. s. Johnson The latter won
the race, time-plenty.
