A special from Cheyenne to The Re
publican at ) O'Clock this afternoon
says that Charles Kohn, the young
man who was wounded by James An
drews on a freight train between Col
ores and Tie Siding early Saturday
morning, will recover from the wound
Inflicted, showing wonderful vitality
and surprising the. surgeons at the
Cheyenne hospital, whence he was
taken upon his arrived at Cheyenne
Saturday. The surgeons say the
wound is not dangerous. Word
reached Laramie yesterday that kOhn
had died Saturday night, and there
was considerable use of the long dis.
lance telephone line Il some anxious
inquiries by telegraph, but the story
proved to be not true. Conductor
Sherlock, upon whose cast-bound train
the shooting occurred, was told at
Cheyenne that the young man was
dead.
kohn has not changed his story in
the least. He still AYERS that he was
wounded without cause by Andrews,
and that he made no attempt to defend
himself, being without weapons or
means of attack, and that all he could
do was to suffer in silence and allow
the man to blaze away at him.
kohn's statement was taken by a
shorthand reporter Saturday after,
noon and a copy sent to Sheriff Reals
today. The officer was advised to this
course, as at that time there was
grave doubt that the wounded tramp
would recover. The cheering news
from Cheyenne this afternoon dis
PEELED the officers fear of ill conse.
quence of the shooting.
Andrews vas lodged in Jail here.
He still states that 10 fired in self
defense, claiming that the unnatural
proposition was made to him and not
by him. as stated by Kohn at Chey-
enne. He does not longer deny that
he was the man who fired the shot.
He will be given a preliminary hear
ing when Kohn is able to be brought
to this city to testify against him.
There was some uncertainty here
last night when Sheriff Smalley ar
rived from Cheyenne with a mar want
ed here as a witness, some insisting
that Andrews had been left in Chey-
enne Saturday night, and that Sheriff
Reals had brought a dummy" on the
early Sunday morning train. The man
brought over last night is wanted here
for another purpose.

Brakeman Has Pluck,

Brakeman Lowry of Conductor Har-
baugh's train, which brought Andrews
to the city Saturday, deserves credit
for the pluck displayed in capturing
the young desperate. Andrews was
seen to enter a car of Conductor Har-
baugh's train. Brakeman Lowry went
to him and ordered him ut. Andrews
left the car and started t walk away,
when the brakeman pinioned his arms
from the ear and marched him to the
caboose, where the Conductor and
other trainmen disarmed the fellow,
when he was tied and brought to the
city. Andrews had an ugly looking
weapon, but declares he emptied the
cylinder and threw the shells away,
both those he had fired at Kohn and
the loaded one. He also discarded his
%overcoat, which was one of the means
of identification.
At Cheyenne, when Andrews was
taken into the presence of his victim,
the latter at once identified him, An
drews finally admitting that he had
wounded Kohn, but that he shot in
self defense.

not guilty. On articles nine, ten,
eleven and twelve the vote was not
guilty.
i The clearing of Federal Judge
Swayne of the charges against him is
something of a surprise. The senate,
sitting as a court of impeachment, was
expected to acquit him Of a majority
of the charges, but few of his friends
even anticipated an acquittal of all of
the twelve accusations. At the con-
clusion of the voting the presiding Of
fcer directed the secretary to enter
an acquittal upon the records.
A resolution was adopted declaring
Judge Swayne acquitted. The senate
as a court of impeachment adjourned
sine die.
During the roll calls Judge Swayne
remained in the presidents room, just
back of the senate chamber, and the
result of each ballot was sent to him.
1t is understood that Judge Swayne
will now resign the j%udgeship.
