when he was seized with a fit of dizzi-
ness. He sat down on the door step
and minute afterwards fell into the
yard nearly unconscious. Matthews
said he laid there seven hours crying
for help before anyone came to his
relief. For 20 hours he was afflicted
with extreme nervousness during
which time he had fits of Jerking"
He said, however. that he did not feel
sick to the stomach or did not vomit
While lying in the yard Buchanan
arrived at the ranch and asked him
about his business. Fearing that he
was a going to die Matthews said he
in the yard near a hen house, 80 feet
from the house. This was along about
midnight and between then and day.
light Matthews said he heard Bu-
chanan or some one take the money
from its hiding place. The money was
in tin can and ne could plainly hear
the rattle of the coin against the tin.
A week afterward when he was able
to get out of the house Matthews vis-
ited his strong box and found the
money gone.
Perry Wallace and Thomas Ryan
testified to Matthews illness and the
manner in which he was found by
neighbors.
Buchanan was not placed on the
stand and at the conclusion of the tes-
timony Judge Huffman bound him
over to the superior court He was

CLINT BUCHANAN MUST FACE JURY
Given Preliminary Hearing this Morning and Bound Over
to the Superior CouTt--Bonds Placed at $1,000

Whether guilty or innocent, Clint
Buchanan will be compelled to face
jury in the superior court, on a charge
of filching $500 from Lou Matthews,
the Snake river rancher. Buchanan
was given a preliminary hearing in
Judge Huffmans court this morning
resulting in his being bound over to
the superior court in bonds of $1,000
Attorney Oscar Cain appeared for the
accused man.
The specific charge lodged against
Buchanan is grand larceny, although
the attempted poisoning of Matthews
is strongly interviewer in the story
which Prosecuting Attorney Wilson
believes will send the suspected man
to the penitentiary for a term of
years.
Matthews was the principal witness
for the state. The gist of his testi-
mony was to the effect that he had
given Buchanan $3.50 with which to
purchase a wind mill that was to be
placed on his ranch. This was about
a month ago, but it seems that Bu-
chanan failed to purchase the mill or
return the money. On March IL Bu-
chanan came to Matthews ranch and
stayed a few minutes. While in the
houSe ha drank some tea that was sit
ting on the table, on which was a
plate of meat and some bread
At noon when Matthews started to
eat his dinner ne noticed that every
thing tasted bitter and he only ate a
few mouthfuls. He went to the door
to empty out some picked onions
