ADAMS TO
PROVE ALIBI
Witnesses for the Defense Know
but Little

at the time he met Simpkins and Dix
on, alias Adams, they were stopping
at Mason's and he said that he re-
manned after July until the end of
August at his ranch near Mason's,
except for one night and day when
they went down to Little Falls, which
is about three miles above the head Of
navigation of the st. Joe river. He
said that Simpkins and Adams shortly
after this went away, but he did not
know of his own knowledge where
they went. He next saw Dixon, alias
Adams, on August /, at Mason's, in
the evening, where he, the witness,
stopped for supper, but he did not
know how long Adams had been
there.
"When did you next see Simp-
kins?" IA day or two later"
He next saw Adams about ten days
later at Mason's place, and also said
that he saw Simpkins day onr two
later after that time. He said that
at the conclusion of these ten days
Adams stayed at his place for about
eight or ten days. The announcement
of the killing of Boule was made at
that time. He explained that the hrst
intimation that they received of
Boule's death was from Frank Price,
who came down to the river and
shouted out in loud voice: "Boule,
-, is killed" He said that be
was standing about half mile from
where Price was standing at the time
he shouted it out, and that Mason was
across the river at his cabin. The
witness said that he was near his cab
in on the same side of the river as
Price, and that Mason was on the
other side of the river. He was then
questioned as to the whereabouts of
Steve Adams and Jack Simpkins at
this time, and he replied they we're
behind his (the witness') cabin cut
ting wood. He said that he had been
down to the river to get a pail of
water and shortly after his return to
the cabin Adams and Simpkins came
in and he told them what he had
heard from Price.
"Do you known what day Boule
was killed." $50 far as l know it
was the day before Price made the
announcement of his DEATH. Simp-

FIGHT SHY OF
MAYORS CHAIR
Proposed Candidates Chary of Ac-
cepting Nomination

Most of those whose names have
been advanced as possible candidates
for the mayorship do not seem to
fancy a seat at the head of the table
in the council chamber, and appear
to shun it. The name of s. A. Var
nam has been advanced by number
of those deeply interested in politics
and the welfare of the city.
When interviewed as to whether OF
not he would accept the candidacy or
no., Mr.. Varnam said. Regarding
the rumors to the effect that l would
be candidate for mayor at the com
ing election, l wish to state that it is
true that l have been requested to
announce myself as such, and, that up
to the present time. ] have neither
consented or refused, but after giving
the matter careful consideration, l
now announce that l will not be a
candidate for mayor, nor for any other
Office at the coming election. | wish
to thank my friends for the confidence
they impose in me, but ! believe they
can select candidate who would be
much better qualified for the position
than | am"
A. W. Branson, of the hardware
firm of Branson & Max, has been mem
toned as possible candidate, but
when interviewed today on the sub.
ject he stated plainly that be was not
in the field and did not care to enter.
He said, al do not care for 1t, /
would refuse it we're 1t offered and
would not accept it were 1t thrust
upon me. know my name has been
connected with what have been termed
the Radicals, or those who attended
the meeting held at the Baptist
church, and ! heartily agree with
many views expressed by those in at
tendance, and in many cases am still
more liberal. l would like to see
higher saloon license, as it would not
only benefit the town, but those en-
gagged in tn liquor traffic, but / co
not care to bold down the mayor S

field in the way of Alex Main who has
