vague, and the recent circuit court Of

next regular election. He did this by
the appointment Of O. J. Newton,
George Brown, e. ]. Thomasson, II.

OFFICER TOLBERT
CATCHES NEGRO
The Prisoner Admits Shooting
Into Engine.
The Bullet Came Near Striking Engi-
neer Burch-Trial at Wick
life Today
oULPRIT's NAME Is DowNER.

Bon Downer, colored, is under ar
rest at Wickliffe, KY, on a charge of
malicious shooting with intent to kill,
and his arrest is due to a very clever
piece Of detective work on the part Of
Officer Dick Tolbsrt, Of the local ILL.,
nois Central detective force, who
worked the case up since Friday, when
he returned from st. Louis.
Downer is said to be the negro who
fired into the engine cab at La Center,
near Barlow, KY, at Engineer ". A.
Burch, and has admitted doing the
shooting. Downer states that he will
beg the mercy Of the court in the
charge, claiming to have shot Will,
drinking and not attempting to hi'
any one.
Last Thursday night while Engi
neer Burch was preparing to leave La
Center, Downer and a companion
both Of whom are employed by the
road on the section, sat down ON the
engine pilot and were ordered off by
Engineer Burch. They wanted to &c
70 Barlow, and Downer tried to argue
the question with Engineer Burch
who opened his throttle and pulled out
OF the station.
As he passed Downer, who wal
standing on the left of the engine, th'
negro pulled a gun and fired into IN,
cab. The bullet passed through the
cab window and struck over the steam
gauge. Had the fireman been sitting
on his bench instead of putting in
fuel, he would undoubtedly have been
killed. as the bullet passed where his
head would have been.
After the shooting Downer went to
his home near Greenville and Officer
Tolbert began working up the case.
He learned Downer's identity from
section men about Barlow and La
Center and after an investigation
found out where the negro lived. Sat-
urday he went to Greenville and
caught the man at his fathers house.
Downer admitted all and returned
without any trouble.
Those who left today to attend the
trial and appear against Downer are
Officer Tolbert, Engineer Burch,
Fireman NJ. E. Lander and Express
Messenger Gather Henneberger. The
trial will be held this afternoon.

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-12-14
1T WILL HELP SWEENY.

A paper calling itself 1.-THE Critic"
has been started at Spokane to fight
Charles Sweeny as candidate for
the United States senate. The paper
starts it's campaign by demanding
that Sweeny withdraw from the race
under penalty, if he disobeys, of hav-
ing some shocking stories told Of his
private life. The Critic is in poor
business and it will help Sweeny
rather than harm him by it's course.
If it has no higher mission in the world
than to attempt to blacken the name
of Sweeny it might as well go out of
business first as last.
The Statesman does not approve of
the election of milliOnaires to the
United States senate merely because
htey are able to make the highest bids
for seats, but that evil cannot be COR
rected by such methods as the Critic
proposes.
