BAIL FIXED AT $4,000.
Kennedy Is Held by Court for FeIoni-
Gus Assault.

| LaWton, O. T.. Jan. 29.-Glenn Steele.
the 16-year old boy who on January IS
shot W. S. Kennedy. was yesterday dis
charged. County Attorney Cunning ham
! found no ground for prosecution, as the
facts showed that Steele had merely
acted in defense of his mother, and in
defense of himself. The shooting, it
will be remembered, took place Sunday
night, in Cache.
The preliminary hearing of kennedy
was held yesterday afternoon before
Judge Hussey. He was charged with
felonious assault and was bound over TO
await the action of the grand jury. His
bali was fixed at $1,000. Some interesting
facts came pOut in the hearing. The de-
fendant, who was not expected to live,
has SO nearly regained his health that
he was able to appear in the court room.
He wore a blue jumper, and his head was
still swathed in cotton and bandages.
His face was given a fierce look on ac-
count of a weeks growth of his ragged
rcd beard.
Young Steele testified to the facts in
the case. He described how Kennedy had
been annoying Mrs. Steele. She had
been reading from the Bible, and Kenne-
dy. pretending TO read from song book
burlesque the revival hymn AT the
Cross, at the Cross. His version was:
AT the Bars. at the Bars Where / First
Smoked Cigars When bed time came
Mrs. Steele requested Kennedy to leave.
He refused to go, and intimated some
vulgar things. Glenn told him he had no
right TO talk that way to his mother.
The defendant then called the boy some
vicious names. and at that moment Mrs
Steele seized a stick of stovewood and
assailed him. Kennedy then drew his
revolver and an infant later he was
shot. This testimony was corroborated
by Mrs. Steele. From blow inflicted on
her head by Kennedy she has suffered
much. Three stitches were taken by the
surgeon to draw the scalp wound to-
gether.
Judge Husseys rulings throughout the
hearing were fair and impartial. He per-
mitted No chickering's on the part of the
and arrived at his decision in
the matter in manner which showed
that he had given the testimony his close
attention.
\. f. Hammnds is counsel for the de-
fendant. and George w. Sutton, with
John l.. etress, were the attorneys for

HISTORY REPEATED AFTER MANY
CENTURIEs.-That rara avis of the
human race, of which only one au-
thentic instance history gives account,
has been duplicated in these modern
times, after the lapse of countless cen.
turtles. The precedent established, in
Scriptural times, by Joseph. which had
been honored by total reputation
ever since, has been repeated in the
experience of DR.. Lewis O'Brien, the
American dentist, whose fair fame was
mixed up with the cratic German
Princess Louise's scandal, while he
was resident of 6axony. He has re-
turned to this country and sturdily
denies that there is the slightest
ground for the calumny. He denies
that he was eapelled for cause from
Saxony, but admits that he expected
to DO placed under ban from miecon-
ception OF circumstances and an i'm
proper construction placed upon acts
in no way affecting the princess or
himself. He is emphatic in the de.
claration. however, that he has had
"enough OF q country in which q sue.
cessful mans practice may be ruined
in a night by the gossip of jealous pro.
fessionals and the whims OF grabbed
and infirm sovereign.

A SEATTLE correspondent OF the Ore
g0nian claims to see in Gov. McBride's
vetoes only personal incentive, a re-
ward for his friends and punishment
for political foes. He sees in it no in
dication Of the shrewdness OF the poll
tician, and seems to be at loss to
account for acts without some COM

he claims, show that they have been
with no thought of advancing his own
political interests but for satisfying
past grievances. If this be true, it GER
tainly shows An anomaly in partisan
politics rarely manifested by stalwart
