he was seen returning, his arms fold
ed ans under his coat. One person
warned him that this wouldn't do and
he IS said to have replied, q am a
law abiding citizen and | propose to

quickly followed. 1t is alleged BY the

hastily seking safety from the bullets.
Howard received three bullets through
his body, one piercing his heart, and
Reiser also being hit three times and
seriously wounded. AS to who fired
the first shot, the testimony is uncer-
tain, the distance between the two men
being 50 small that it was difficult to
tell from which side the first shot
came.
Several Of the government witness
es testified that they thought that the
first shot came from Reiser, while
one witness. for the defense said pos
!. lively that it came from Howard.
The government concluded its tes-
timony about ten o'clock this morning
and J. W. McLane was the first wit
ness for the defense. He testified
positively that Dir. Howard used th'
expression, "You are a son-of-a-b-,'

COMET HEADING FOR EARTH
But il Wont Hi us-Is Visible With

Astronomers report that the comet
Daniels can now be seen in the east
ern heavens every night between y
and 3 o'clock. 1t is said to be spinning
On its merry journey towards the
earth at the rate Of thirty miles sec
cond but we are assured that there
is no danger Of its striking the PLAN
ct as the sun is said to be jealous Of
the critter and he has promiesd to
head him off before he gets this far.
One Of the peculiar things about
this comet is that it has no tail, or,
at least, if it has, it keeps it concealed
somewhere about its person for the
astronomers have failed to discover il.
It may be that some Jack-the-Snipper
Of The heavens has swiped It's tail,
