WILSON BORROWED
FROM ROOMMATE
(From Thursdays Daily)

Taking advantage Of his room
mates absence on Labor Day Wal
ter Wilson a brlcklayer returned to
their room and made preparation
for a flying trip" to Fort Worth
or other distant points, When the
roommate got back to the house he
discovered that number OF valuable
articles including the choicest part
Of his wardrobe was missing and
that Wilson was also out. An in
qulry furnished information from
people in the house that Wilson had
departed in the direction OF the de-
pot, carrying a grip, and attlred as
II for journey, The anxious room
mate then dispatched word to Chief
OF Police Snider in the quickest time
possible and Snider caught up with
the missing bricklayer on the even
ing Denver which he had boarded
Tor his flying trip. When charged
with stealing the goods OF his fellow,
Wilson blandly explained that 1t was
all right, that his roommate was a
good fellow" and that he only bor-
rowed a few things for the trip.
The other party TO the transac-
ton, however, took no such kindly
view OF the situation and called the
act of Wilson by a much harder
name. On examination It was found
that Wilson had on his roommate's
best suit, was carrying his grip filled
with other belongings, and had bor-
rowed a pocketiul of change which
he found among the other mans
effects.
Under the circumstances, Chief
Snider returned as much OF the
property as could be found and
lodged Wilson in Jail to let the grand
jury act on this case of borrowing,

WEIGH WAS \
JUSTIFIED
But Preliminary Hearing Throws
No Light on Lyons Motive
In Shooting Gardiner

THIS IS one or the strangest cases
| ever heard Of" said District Attor-
ncy Bishop, yesterday in speaking to
the court at the close OF the exam
lining trial Of Cap WEIGH for the
shooting OF Claude Lyons" II is a
mysterious case and | am utterly at
a loss from the evidence produced
and from what | have been able to
find to get satisfactory solution TO
the mystery. Here we have man
running into a saloon filled with
other men and who whips out a re-
yolver and shoots down an unsus-
pecting and apparently defenseless
man who Is supposed to be his friend.
Then in turn we have this man shot
down by another man whom the evil
dence goes to show is the defendant
In this trial, but II is curious cir
cumstance that Of all that roomful
OF men who were there at the time
OF the shooting, we are unable to
fluid single one who Is sure that
WEIGH fired the shot or even the
second shot fired"
Evidence Shows WEIGH Justifiable.
The conclusion OF the district at
torney after hearing the evidence in
the examining trial OF Cap Welch
sums up the case as II is now and
at the same time shows utter lack
Of a satisfactory solution for the af-
fray that has caused the death OF
ono man and the infliction of dan
gorous wound on another, Instead
OF waiting til this morning for the
preliminary hearing. both the state
and defense agreed TO call the hear
ing yesterday afternoon. But the
light which this hearing was ex-
pected to throw on the case was not
forthcoming. on the evidence given,
which was fairly complete. Cap
WEIGH, was shown to have been
amply justified in shooting Lyons
This the prosecuting attorney admit
tod but from the fact that the case in
Its entirety is not yet understood,
he urged that WEIGH be bound over
on a small bond to await full and
complete hearing before the grand
jury. This Justice OF tho Peace Hol-
man stated he was obliged TO In
murder case and the bond was ac-
cordingly fixed at the low figure of
$500. WEIGH easily secured bond
and is at liberty.
Witnesses Examined.
For the preliminary hearing yes
terday six witnesses appeared for
the state. Many Others were In the
saloon at the time or knew attend
ant circumstances but the six sum-
moned presented tho important facts
in the case. Besides these Witness
es, the defense produced several

dence does not show that II was OF
serious nature.
A few minutes later. Lyons ran
into the front room OF the saloon
from the rear and after a few words
with Gardiner who was bending over
opening a bottle OF beer back OF the
bar leveled his revolver at the de-
fenseless man and fired. Gardiner
fell and Lyons, wheeled waving his
smoking gun before the men In the
room. and with an oath ordered them
to stand back.
The men did "stand back" and to
such an extent that II seems no one
in the crowded room actually saw the
second shot which brought Lyons
down, MORALLY wounded. Welch at
tho end OF the bar had quickly picked
up a revolver kept there for emerg-
encies and had shot Lyons.
Lyons Exonerated Welch.
All the evidence goes to show that
Welch was not concerned in the en-
counter between Lyons and Gardiner
any more than any other bystander
and that his action was one purely
OF protection OF himself and others
from apparent danger, Lyons felt
from the first that he was MORALLY
wounded and when officer Earnest

the men in charge, Lyons called the
officer to him and whispered as well
as he could that "Tve shot Charley

What was evidently an attempt at
suicide was made shortly before noon
today by George Bowles, who shot
himself with a pistol in the "Fixit"
shop on Court street, but inflicted
only a slight wound. He fired a S2-
caliber pistol, loaded with a long 22
cartridge direct at his forehead and
the ball lodged just under the skin.
II was taken out shortly afterwards
by DR.. ]. A. Best and the injured man
walked homeward.
According to the men in the re-
pair shop, which is located near the
Lyman meat market, Bowles came
in several times during the forenoon
to look at some pistols. On his first
visit he wanted to borrow a large
caliber pistol saying he wanted it to
shoot rats Afterwards he returned
about noon and began looking at
some pistols in a show case.
II wonder what Sorenson will take
for this one" he remarked as he took
one from the case. A moment later
he was noticed swapping the gun,
and each time he did so he stopped
down behind the counter. Not know
ing he had loaded the gun no atten-
tion was paid the man until the gun
went off.
That he meant to kill himself Is
believed by the men in the repair
shop, and apparently there is no
other way to account for his strange
action. He had been about the shop
a number of time before but little
was known of him. He was suf-
ferer from rheumatism.
When the men rushed to pick him
up Rowles exclaimed, what have I
done?" and was told that he had
tried to kill himself
While being cared for by DR.. Best
he also kept mumbling about the
affair and declared he did not know
how 1t had happened.

Of the order Of the postoffice depar-
ment allowing the delivery of So
called Santa Claus letters" to phil
anthropic societies and others In va
rious parts Of the country, the mails
are being flooded with appeals to
Saint Nicholas.
In past years all Santa Claus COM
municaions deposited in the mails

of the poor, who are the principal
correspondents Of Santa Claus, caus-
ed Postmaster General Meyer to adopt
a more liberal attitude this year and
to order that such letters be deliver
ed to responsible societies or indi-
viduals who asked for them.
Reports from various large cities
state that an unprecedented number
of letters addressed to Santa Claus
are now being mailed and that the
activity of the correspondents is
probably due to Mr.. Meyers order.
IL 1t is found that a considerable
number of dishonest or unworthy
