 "cut it out" and that he would punch
 him" Then Webb shot twice and killed him. Wilton was positive that , he saw no gun in the hands of Bass
 and that he did not strike Webb. E. L. MattiX, who is a miner, was 1 in the saloon when the shooting took Iplace. He said that Bass entered the front door, and asked Webb what was the trouble. Words passed between
 the two men. and then Webb shot and | while Bass was falling he fired the second shot. Like the others he did

When the preliminary examination of Arizona Ranger Webb, who is charged with the murder of Lorenzo Bass in Douglas last Sunday night, ad- journed at 5 o'clock yesterday after noon, the prosecution had not finished presenting its witnesses. This morn ing at 9 o'clock the examination will be resumed.
 The testimony yesterday was strongly against Webb. several of the witnesses stating that the killing of Bass was unprovoked. The strongest testimony was that of Al White, who Is employed at the Copper Queen smelter and was present in the Cow boys Home saloon when the shooting took place
 When the examination closed yester day the outlook for Webb was dark If the testimony is to be believed ht did wrong in killing Bass. Last night the rangers were not downhearted al the outlook, and say that Webb vii not be bound over to the grand jury.
 The prosecution is being handled by Attorneys Goodbody and English, who represent District Attorney Leaven worth. The defense is in the hands of s. c. Gilland and Hartley Novel; Both sides are questioning all tht witnesses closely.
 Yesterday afternoon the testimony of A L. White, John Wilton. E. L Mattix. John Swords, Alex Gilchris- and James Goode was heard. The las two testified that they were drunk when the shooting took place. and ere unable to throw any light on the affair.
 The only exciting incident Of the day was the removal Of c. F. Nichols who acted as stenographer at the cor oner's inquest. His place was filled by W. C. Ferguson, formerly of Bis bee, at the request of Attorney Eng fish who alleged that Nichols had not taken the testimony verbatim at the inquest.
 The testimony of John Swords was even more positive than that ne gave at the inquest. He stated under oath that Webb shot without cause. The witness stated that he was in the sa loon when Webb and Bass entered Webb had some words with Bass and then placed revolver against his side and fired. He fired another shot short ly after.
