victim over the head after he was fatally shot.
Held Without Bail.

The examining trial of Sidney Coggins for the killing.of Warren at Ahloso a week ago, was con- tiEued Friday afternoon until this afternoon. But last night he collasped physically, being seiz- ed with alarming hemorrhages, supposed to be recurrent effect of the carbolic acid he drank, combined with more or less ex- posture to the recent indictment weather.
 So this morning early the hearing was hastily completed, tho defense offering no testimony, the defendant was held without bail, and was taken at once to the U. s. jail at Ardmore where it is thought he can receive bet ter care.

THAT is a pathetic story re- corded of the boy whom Judge Lindsey of Denver sought to in- duce to attend school regularly The boy seemed proof against every attempt until one day he went into the judges office with A receipted bill in his hand. The bill explained the reason for the boys apparent stubbornness. It was a receipt for fifty dollars, the cost of a monument which the boy had had erected over the grave of his mother as token of affection for her. The boy was then ready to attend school. We mention this not as any ex- cuse for boys to absent them. selves from school, but as a beautiful instance of gratitude 7, affection and rever ren c e. There is every hope for boy that thus treasures the memory of his mother. Incidentally it points in the way of contrast to one great defect in our American life-that of sufficient reverence for parents.

COggins' Preliminary

Mid- afternoon Thursday Sid. ney Coggins was arraigned be- fore U. 5. Commissioner Vim for examining trial on charge of murdering J. W. Warren at Ahloso on the night of March 2.
 Long before the beginning the court room was filled with anx- ious spectators. The accused, as he came from the jail between an official and kinsman, appeared still weak, presumably a finger ing effect of the carbolic acid he is said 10 have taken with suicidal intent the night of the killing. And his voice as he pleaded "not guilty'' was quite raucous, in- dicating the membranes of his throat are still raw.
 Ten witnesses were sworn to testify for the government, most of them stationed at Ahloso, where the killing occurred. It is said the defense will use about an equal number of witnesses.
 At this hour the negro cook ol the gang, Joe King, has been placed first on the stand. He testifies in substance that Cog. gins, in an unusual manner, soor after supper, c:me through the kitchen car, and soon after wit. ness heard pistol shot outside followed by a scream, and in rap. i'd succession three other shots that after tie shooting, amid the fright and confusion Occasioned defendant excited, returned te the car and threateningly de. manded pistol of witness; tha when a man named Poe came UT and accosted defendant, the lat. ter turned and fled to the adjacen field.

Full Particulars of the Murder
 of Jess Warren
From tEe Ada, q.T) Weekly News.

"Are you dead yet, you s----?" was the horribly brutal query the assailant repeat. edly hurled at the prostrate form of his dying victim as he dealt needless blow after blow with the emptied revolver in tigerish in- difference to the piteous appeals of the helpless one.
 Such was the tragic scene at Ahloso, six miles south of Ada, Saturday night at 8:15 o'clock when J. w. Warren, foreman M. K. & T., extra gang temporarily stationed there, met violent death at the hands of Joseph Coggins, commisary clerk for the same crew.
 The story of the tragedy diff fers somewhat in minor details, as stories usually do where there are numerous witnesses, but here are given the salient features as given by those present.
 Warren, 31 years old, had been foreman of the gang but two days. His coming entailed the change of Coggins, from time- keeper to temporary commissary clerk. Both were in Ada Satur- day, members of a hand car party. Coggins, failing to rejoin the ,arty, was left behind and had , walk back. He arrived in bad humor, which he displayed one way by being stubborn bout issuing supplies.

Letter to Mir. H. NJ. Foster.
Green Forest. Arh.

Dear Sir: If you could get the exclusive sale of a sweeter sugar for five miles round-1-2 pound as sweet as 8 pound of usual sugar, and cost no more- you'd jump at it, wouldn't you?
 There wouldn't be 100 lbs. of any other sugar sold in a year in your town; you'd gobble the trade; and it wouldn't hurt your whole business.
 Devoe is like that among paints i; it is twice as sweet as some; it is sweeter than any; not one ex- ception: one gallon is two or one- and.a-half or one- and-t three quarters.
 Better than that; paint has to be painted; that costs S2 to S4 a gallon. A gallon saved is S2 to $4 saved in labor, besides the paint.
 Even that isn't all. A gallon Devoe put.on wears as long as two gallons put-on at cost of S2 to S4 gallon and two gallons more put-on at S2 to s4 a gallon. Count all that. The paint that wears double costs less by three gallons of painting; that's about S15 gallon for those superfluous gallons.
 That's as sweet as double- sweet sugar, isn't it?
 Yours truly

gins inquired of c. B. Green, the sub foreman, if Warren had come in. In twenty minutes shooting was heard. Warren had started to enter the car where he slept when Coggins accosted him and shot him in the breast, a mortal wound. The wounded man ran four or five car lengths before falling, his assailant pursuing and emptying the weapon, which was identified as Warren's own pistol and contained four loads, only one of which took effect. Apparent ly to make sure of his work, the assailant struck the fallen man numerous blows on the head with the weapon.
 Then Coggins, after trying to get another gun from an em- ployee, escaped to an adjacent field, where indications are he attempted suicide both by taking carbolic acid and by slashing his throat with a knife.
 In the meantime members of the gang cared for the body and came on hand car to Ada for the off cers. The latter hurried to the scene and started in pur- suit of the fugitive. About mid night the the latter returned to the car and was easily taken in custody and brought to Ada. The wond in his throat was superficial, and the carbolic acid proved not to have penetrated any vital part. Though badly burned in the mouth and throat the physi- cans report him out of danger.
 Deceased was Mason, an Odd Fellow and Maccabee, and stood high with his employers. Local Masons took charge of the remains, which were embalmed and shipped to his home, Green,
 Forest, Ark.
 The deed appeared so fiendish, so much like that of madman that at first it was reported tho slayer was a cocaine fiend under the influences of the drug. But such a hypothesis has been be- lied by associates, by develop ments of facts, and by his own kinsmen, who are here investiga- ting the sad occurrence. Coggins, who appears now perfectly ra- tional-indeed intelligent-pro- tests that he has only a hay recollection of the shooting; that Respondent over continued ill health he had first taken the drug with suicidal intent. His kinsmtn says he was suffering from brain trouble following a long recent spell of sickness.
