james Mcdonald Put on Trial
Today For Sarah Schaf-
A er's Murder.
QUESTION OF MOTIVE
People Are Interested to Know Upon
What Grounds the Indict-
ment Was Based.
The Line of Defense to Be Adopted
Has Thus Far Been Kept
Secret.

Bedford, Ind. May 16.-The trial OF
James Mcdonald, charged by the
grand jury with the murder of Miss
Sarah Schafer, teacher of Latin in the
Bedford high school, began here today
The trial promises to attract much at
tention. The people who had charge
of the investigation of the facts sur
rounding the murder are the only ones
who know anything Of the evidence
upon which the theory was based
which resulted in McDOnald's arrest.
They have persistently refused to tell
upon what facts they base Their &C
cusation. The question of motive will
be the hardest for the state to solve.
So far as is known, Mcdonald hardly
knew the teacher by sight. He had
done some work at the school building
where she was employed, but had
never spoken to her SO far as is known.
A fierce legal contest will be made for
the life and liberty of James Melon
aid Robert N. Palmer and Frank
Vance will defend the accused. What
the line of their defense will be no one
knows 1t is limited that the defense
will try to prove an alibi.

Ohio State Convention.

Columbus, Ohio, May 16.-The Re-
publican state convention meets here
next Tuesday and Wednesday under
new conditions. This is due to the
loss of Senator Hanna, who had at
tended these gatherings fer score
of years and dominated them for the
past decade. This week no one is SUI
premely master. In place of Hanna
there is a group of leaders. There are
951 delegates in the convention. A
large majority is affiliated with what
is called "The old Hanna guard" SO
that there is no doubt about the con
vention being controlled by Governor
Herricl, George B. Cox and Senator
Dick, who with Senator Foraker will
be the delegates-at-large to the Repub
lican national convention at Chicago

TRAGEDY AT COALMONT
Old Feud Leads to Deadly Shooting
ARRAY.

ARRAY.
Brazil, Ind, May 16.-G. 8. Bourne,
a druggist at Coalmont, in the south
ern part of Clay county, shot and killed
William Ford in his store. Bourne is
in Jail here. He pleads self-defense.
The shooting is the result of trouble
of long standing, though its nature is
not known Ford, who was about thlr-
ty-six years old, lived in VigO county.
He went to Coalmont and he and
Bourne met in a barber shop and quar-
relied, but Bourne left before the trou-
BILE passed beyond words. He returned
to his store to be followed in a short
time by Ford.
The quarrel was renewed but moth
ing is known of it's details except that
Bourne shot Ford and that the latter
died about fifteen minutes later, the
bullet having taken effect near his
heart.
Bourne also is a young man and is
unmarried. He is prosperous in bust
ness and has borne good reputation.
He telegraphed to the sheriff here the
result of the quarrel and said he would
come in on the first train to give him
self up. This he did, arriving soon
after. He will say nothing about the
trouble except that he fired in self
defense. He will be given an examine
ton this week. and in the meantime is
in Jail here without bond.

Republicans of Illinois Still
In Deadlock Over Head
Of Ticket.
LOYAL TO CANDIDATES
The Several Factions Among the
Delegates Stick Tenaciously to
Their Original Choice.
First Ballot Today Indicated Little
Change In the General
Situation.

Springfield, Ill, May 16.-Balloting
was resumed in the Republican state
convention for a gubernatorial candi-
date again this afternoon, the conven-
ton having taken recess late Sa1ur-
day night until 2 o'clock today. The
first ballot of the afternoon, the 25th
in all, showed little change in the
Saturday night situation, and it looks
now as il there would be at least an
other day of fruitless balloting before
the gubernatorial deadlock is broken.
1t is quite possible that a break will
come late this afternoon, but the de-
velopments of today do not justify any
such prediction.
Most of the delegates spent Sunday
at home, but the candidates and their
trusted advisers remained on the
ground, and numerous conferences
were held during the day. 1t is known
definitely that desperate efforts are be-
ing made to take from the Yates col
umn enough delegates to nominate
Lowden on an early ballot today. The
Lowden managers are making more
thorough canvass of the situation than
has ever been attempted by them be-
| fore, and they expect to bring about
| enough changes to give their candidate
a majority vote. 1t is reported that
the Will county delegation will go to
Lowden on an early ballot today.
! This, however, although emanating
! from Will county delegate, is receiv-
ed skeptically. After the failure of
the attempted stampede to Lowden
Saturday, started by Dekalb county, it
is thought probable that LOwden will
not permit any of the countie. which
he may secure to vote for him until he
feels confident of having enough to
nominate; for the moment Yates coun
ties begin going to Lowden the remain
ing Yates men may be expected to &C
to Deneen or the Deneen men will &C
to Yates There is now no probability
that a dark horse" will be chosen
Indeed, the choice is generally regard
ed as being between Yates, Lowder
and Deneen. So far what is known as
the federal crowd" headed by Sena
tors Cullom and Hopkins, Speaker
Cannon and a number of congress
men, has eXerted but little influence
in attempts to break the deadlock. A
} one time it is said that Cannon wa
willing that Vermillion should go t.
; Lowden, but the delegates themselve
would not desert Hamlin.
Events up to date have demonstrat
. ed that the delegates to this conven
ton, to a greater extent than has eve
, before been the case, are loyal to tn
candidates in whose interest the
were selected and are not easily le
> away or shifted about by the gene1
, ally recognized party leaders.
