forenen of the plant. Mcdonnell does
not deny the killing. but says that IL
was done in self defense, and that is
his plea.
The two men had hot word battle
In the lobby of the company's hotel
Stevens, 1t is stated, slapped McDon-
nell. Tho latter Is said to have an al
most ungovernable temper and. being
one-legged man. considerable leniency
was always shown him. The language
he employed on this occasion, accord
ing to witnesses, was very abusive, and
Stevens, whose temper was also
aroused, tried to forcibly calm him. At
this juncture others interfered and the
two men separated. Mcdonnell was
sent to his room upstairs. A few min
utes later Stevens started upstairs, for
what purpose no one knows
The state claims that while Stevens
was in the hall, not molesting anyone,
Mcdonnell stepped from his bedroom
door, out into the hall. and fired two
shots. both striking Stevens. The de-

and. while Mcdonnell was sitting on
the edge of the bed. he fired the shots
that caused his death Stevens was
picked up where he fell in the hall,
some 10 feet from McDonnell's door

The claim OF Ruse runs back over 40

whereby Butte was TO pay Wells a stip-
ulatcd sum per year for looking after
his property. Iowa land was selling
for almost nothing in those days. and
Wells bought up section after sectioll
