LAST BULLET IS
TAKEN FROM HEAD
AGED MAN GOES TO COURT TO
TESTIFY
Accuses His Nephew Of Having Shot
Him, and Crcumstantial Evil
dence Is Produced in
the Case

With his head swathed in bandages,
having just come from the receiving
hospital, where the last of the bullets
had been removed only few hours
before, William Reid, an aged man,
appeared in the court room yesterday
afternoon to testify in the trial of his
nephew, William Mckinley, who is
charged with having shot him on De-
cember IA, 1906.
The shooting occurred at Mr. Reid's
home on a flve-acre farm just be-
yond the city limits about or o'clock
in the evening, and when found by
Officers Healy and. Walsh of the Uni
versity Police station, Mr.. Reid was
nearly dead from the. loss Of blood.
Leaving Healy in charge while he
went for a wagon to take the injured
man to the receiving hospital, Walsh
returned sooner than he had expected.
having met an automobile which he
impressed into service, and found the
defendant just entering the room. :.
When Mckinley approached the bed
Tide the old man pointed his finger at
him and said. There he Is, there is the
man who shot me-"
Mckinley, though denying his guilt,
was arrested and brought to town in
the automobile with his uncle.
When searched at the central station
several cartridges were found upon
him, but he stoutly denied that he had
ever owned gun.
Find Revolver in Trunk
After locking him up the officers went
to his room and found in his trunk a
revolver of the same caliber as the
cartridges found upon him, and with
five empty shells in 1t.
The next day the officers returned to
the scene of the shooting and found In
the clots of blood on strip of mating
that lay beside the bed three f1attened
bullets, which the prosecution yester-
day introduced in evidence, asserting
that Mr.. Reid ha6 spit them out after
they had entered his mouth through
the nasal passage from the wound in
the right cheek.
The bullet removed from Mr.. Reid
head yesterday was found embedded in
the lower part of the skull, and Is be-
lieved to have entered through a wound
founI in the back of the neck, below
the left ear.
The trial was begun before Judge
Smith in department 1 of the superior
court yesterday morning, and though
Mr.. Reid was unable to testify, because
of the operation for the removal of the
bullet, the taking of testimony pro-
ceeded throughout the day.
Mckinley IS defended by Attorneys
F. w. Allenger and A. A. Sturgis.

FIND GIRL DIED
OF BRAIN ABSCESS
CITY Chemist Finds No Poison In the
Stomach, but Autopsy Reveals
Foreign GroWths In the
Woman's Brain

Olga idiller, the common-law wife OF
R. H. Hardin, died natural death and
the young man was last night COM
pletely exonerated of any charge what
soeyer by Coroner r. S. Lanterman
after he had received the result of the
city chemists examination of the con-
tents O.. the dead girls stomach and
the report of the autopsy held on the
body late yesterday afternoon.
Olga Miller died at the county hos
pitaI at o'clock Tuesday evening. She
and Hardin had been living at the
Hotel Royal, at Fourth and Main
streets, and several days ago she be-
came i'll and was sent to the county
hospital on Saturday morning
Hardin visited her daily and Tues
day, a short time after he arrived there,
hunted UP the nurse in charge Of the
ward in which Miss Miller was, and
asked her If he could get the young
woman some milk. He received per-
mission to do so and secured glass
from the ward kitchen. When he re-
turned to the bed, according to
woman patient in an adjoining bed,
Miss Miller refused to drink the milk
and Hardin insisted upon her doing so.
Hardin left the hospital a short time
later and some time after he had gone
the woman became worse and passed
away at 6 o'clock.
BY authority of the surgeons in
charge at the county hospital Hardin
was arrested Wednesday and held at
the city Jail to await the result of the
coroners inquiry into the cause of the
girls death.
Yesterda.- DR.. Lanterman made
most thorough examination. The city
chemist analyzed the contents of the
girls stomach and found no poison. An
autopsy was also performed and this
revealed the cause of death. Two
large abscesses and a tumor were found
on the brain and the mystery was' ac,
cording to the coroner, how the girl
had lived as long as she had.
Young Hardin will be detained at
the city ja.. until this morning, when
he will be taken to the inquest at .
o'clock as a witness, after which he
will be permitted to 60

Aside from this. he believes that large colonies of the animals have gone to the far southern shore

There are lot Of people in this
section who will not visit the Spokane
fair this year. They prefer MOI TO pat
ronize a show that savors quite so
much of graft, especially where the
visitors are expected to play the part
Of the sucker. The Spokane fair de-
serves to meet with fiat failure, and
probably will, 1t will not be of a
character worthy Of patronage. 1t is
to be run, not that the resources Of the
Inland Empire may be promoted, but
for the benefit Of gang Of gamblers

Of reason why people, especially boys,
should stay away. Instead of fair it
is to be carnival-rf crime.
