HE DOES NOT DENY THE KILLING
A Statement cf Eye Witness Does Not Know Who Fired First Shot Miller Was We'll Armed Mrs. Miller Arrested and Brought tu
 Mena.

Martin Miller, who shot and killed Deputy United States Mar shal James Bush, who went to his home at Camp Wilder Tues day for the purpose of arresting him on warrant charging him with cutting and removing gov ernment timber, was brought 10 Mena by Sheriff Joplin yesterday afternoon and placel in the county ia'l.
 The reports of the shooting received at this place yesterday to the effect that Miller was mortally wounded by Marsha Bush before being killed, proved 10 be a mistake, as Miller was only slightly injured, the ball from Marshal Bush's pistol sirik- ing rib on the left side anG ranging around under the skin 10 the back where it was removed by Dr. A. J. Pool
 Coroner Pool, shortly after his return from the scene of the tragedy, was seen by a Star re presentative and stated that no inquest was held over the body of Marshal Bush owing to the fact that Miller acknowledged to the killing.
 As was stated in yesterdays issue of the Star there were only two witnesses to the killing, Bob Miller and Newt Givens, who ac- companied Marshal Bush to make the arrest. Bob Miller, on being interviewed by d Star representa- tive this morning, gave the following version of the killing:
 Tuesday night Marshal Bush accompanied by Newt Givens and myself, went to the home of Mar tain Miller at Camp Wilder for the purpose of arrestiug Miller for whom Mir. Bush had warrant. On arriving at the home of Miller and hitching our horses we went up within short distance Of the house and Giveus calling to Miller vas answered by Mrs. Miller appearing in the hallway and asking what they wanted. It was then Mir. Bush made himself known by telling Mrs. Miller that he had a warrant for Miller and to tell him to come out. Mrs. Miller replied by stat ing that her husband was not at home.
 "Mr. Bush then told her to go back iu the house aud strike light, that he was going to make a search of the premises. A few moments elapsed after Mrs. Mill Ter went back into the house until Miller appeared in the hallway and commenced talking with MT. Bush. Mir. Bush told him that he had warrant for his arrest and that If he would surrender he would be treated right. Miller then asked Mir. Bush who he had with him and on being told that 1t was Bob Miller, he replied by stating that no d--n mob like that could take him. About this time the shooting began, but who fired the first shot can not say. The bullet that killed Mir Bush was from 3O-30 rife and passed through his heart. After being shot he turned around and walked about thirty steps when he fell dead. Bush shot three times at Miller, one of the bullets from his pistol striking him in the left side. :"
 Owing to the fact that one of the horses iu the posse was wounded by bullet from a 3S. calibre Winchester rifle has led the authorities to believe that more than one person from wi hin the house was implicated in the chACffs4r~ o..J kf.tr s.-~ws7t1fr vN1T-

BETS HAT OR TERM I'M JAIL
Magistrate Makes Novel Wager with
Men Arrested for Drinking
in New York.

New York.-"I'll bet hat you don't
keep sober year.
This is the gist Of new form OF
legal procedure in the case OF husky
men who get drunk, beat their wives,
and fail to support their children, as
introduced by Magistrate Battery
Dan, Finn in the Harlem police court.
The bet is not exactly phrased this
way, for it is one-sided bet. If the
man keeps sober he gets the hat at the
expense of the magistrate. If he gets
drunk within twelvemonth he may
get term on the island
The new system was tried out on
Tom Brennan, big truck driver. The
wife did not want her husband imprIs-
oned, but asked that he be- made to
keep. sober long enough to support her
and her five children. Magistrate Finn
thereupon made Brennan the novel

GIANT APE OF THE SAMOA.
Big Beast Is Killed in French Congo
by scientists-Weighs 500 Pounds
Has Remarkable Strength.

La Nature recently printed the pho
tograph OF an enormous anthropoid ape
that was killed near the Sanga river,
in the French Congo. DR.. Il. T. Hamy
writes that these large animals have
been seen several times in the last
year among the valleys of the Lom and
Sanga rivers. The white men at the
German and French citations corrobo-
rated this report that an athropoid Of
great size lives in the forests along the
boundary between the Cameroons and
the French Congo
Eugene Brussaux, who sent the pho
tograph to La Nature, says that the
animal appears to be a gorilla, differ
ing from those living in Gaboon only
in its enormous stature. Its skull, face
and ears are exactly like those Of the
gorilla. The specimen that was killed
was not less than seven and one-half
feet in height and its body in sitting
position was as high as an ordinary
Pahnin native. It was killed near
Uessu, the chief station on the River
Sanga, and was one of three animals
living in the neighboring forest which
had become known by their large foot
prints on the ground. m
The animal was almost bare upon
the breast and stomach, but its shoul-
ders and thighs we're covered with
thick, long hair. 1t was about three
feet and a half in breadth across the
shoulders, it weighed nearly 800 pounds
and eight porters we're required to
bring it to the station. A later report
says that another similar specimen has

ARMY DIET EXPERIMENTS.
Tests of Nourishment for Soldiers
Made by Army Physician
in Turkestan.

A Russian army doctor attached to
the Second Turkestan Rifle battalion
has been making some interesting ex-
periments in the matter Of nourishing
soldiers. DR.. Cyrillus Koljago admins
tered to ten men for ten days malt cof-
fee as their sole beverage, with the result
their weight Increased during the time
to The extent OF 1872 grammes man. A
like experiment was made by giving
tea to the same number Of men of a
similar constitution and for the same
number of days, and in their case the
doctor certified a decrease Of weight
per man to the extent of $40 grammes
He then put the 20 men together back
on to tea, and those whose weight had
been so signally increased by the malt
coffee had within ten days lost $50
grammes a head The doctor now states
what is very important to note, namely,
that his experiments have led him to be-
lieve that 1t is not merely the nourish-
ing attributes Of the malt coffee which
mark this increase, but that its effect is
mainly to increase the action Of the di-
gestive organs. enabling this to draw
from all other food taken the utmost
quantity of nourishment each may con-
tain.

POISONED BY CAR STRAP
Pttsburg Man Suffering With Peculiar
MaIady Which May Destroy
His Left Eye
Special to The Herald.


PITTSBURG, Feb g. Common
Councilman Robert X. CochTane of the
Sixth ward, Allegheny, is confined at
the Presbyterian hospital, suffering
with blood poisoning, and it may be
that the malady which it is thought
was contracted through the agency of
n strap on street car may destroy his
left eye.
Mr.. Cochrane has been kept in a dark
room in the infirmary sinode Christmas
morning. He has been totally blind for
several days, and his physicians have
forbidden him visitors. The pupils of
his eyes are covered with a film, but
specialists hope to be able to restore
his sight, at least that of the right
eye. after some further treatment.
About three weeks ago Mr.. Cochrane
boarded a Woods Run car for his home
on Washington avenue, Allegheny. The
car was crowded and he caught hold
of a strap. During the ride home his
eft eve took to itching. He rubbed the
eye frequently with his right hand and
after he reached home the lids OF the
optic began to swell. 1t is the opinion
of Mr. Cochrane that his hand carried
some germ from the strap TO his eye.
At the hospital last night it was stated
that Mr.. Cochrane's eyes were In a.
serious condition, but that he had inn

the place.
