JUMPED HIS BOND
CHRIST BAUER NABBED BY Nc
GlLLiS WHILE TRYING TO
ESCAPE
WAS CONVICTED AND AWAITING
SENTENCE AT WAsHBURN
FOR MANNING

Monday evening, just as the North
Coast Limited was about to pull out
from the Bismarck depot, Sheriff
McGillis nabbed his man. His name
was Christ Bauer, and he had escap-
ed from Washburn. Bauer had had
his trial and was convicted of the
crime of manning and was awaiting
sentence to be pronounced by the
court. He was still out on ST 200
bond, however.
The snDposition is that he arrived
in the city from Washburn on the
1880 500 train. He then went to the
N. P. depot and purchased a ticket
for Dickinson, with the intention OF
going to that place, but it after
wards transpired that he didn't go.
It seems that some time ago a
fracas occurred at Washburn in
which the arrest of a man was badly
wanted. The sheriff deputized a
blind pigger to help capture the man.
Now, the man wanted was friend
Of Bauer's and Bauer did what he
could to prevent the proposed ar
rest.
The pigger picked up beer bottle

Bauer straightway slashed him

OPINION
OF MURPHY CASE

Minot Reporter: The opinion Of the
supreme court in the case of the
state against Major j. s. Murphy, has
been a topic of general comment in
Minot today. While it was generally
believed by those who were familiar
with the facts surrounding the last
trial of the major, that there could
be but one result to the appeal, and
that a reversal of the verdict and
granting Of new trial, 1t was never
theless looked forward to anxiously
and now that it has come and the
major has been in a sense indicated
and given an opportunity to eventual
ly wipe out the charge against him
his countless friends in Ward county
and in fact all over the entire state.
are pleased indeed, and Major MUIR
ply is receiving many assurances Of
this satisfaction and pleasure at the
hands of his friends today.
In word, the reversing to the low
err court and the granting of a new
trial was inevitable when the facts
surrounding the trial before Judge
Pollock are taken into consideration.
and the friends of Major Murphy will
be no less surprised il he fails to-
secure an acquitttal in his next trial.
than they were when he was convict
ed at the former trial. 1t is the opin-
ion of many that the case will never
be tried again, and that dismissaT
will be forthcoming. however, it is un.
derstood that the major does not court
a dismissal, and will ask that he be-
given an immediate trial.
The people Of Minot generally are
pleased with the outcome of the case
ct the hands Of the supreme court.

ADMINISTRATION IS SUSTAINED
in THE BROWNSVILLE DEAL
Senate Committee Investigating Negro Soldier Riot Will
IndorSe Discharge Of the COlOred Troops
Senator Foraker Fails to Work Through Contrary Report
and Will Garry Fight to the Senate
Majority Vote Was Cast by Democrats and Three Of the
Seven Republicans on the Committee

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.-That
the shooting in the ARRAY at Browns
vile, Tex, on the night of August
IS and IA, 1906, was done by some
negro soldiers of the, Twenty fifth
U. S. infantry and that the testimony
taken before the senate committee
on military affairs fails to identify
the guilty parties, is the opinion Of
eight members of the committee.
Four members Of the committee .vot-
ed against this decision and one mem
Der did not vote.
The resolution declaring the guilt
of the negroes was submitted by
Senator Lodge and was adopted after
five resolutions by Senator Foraker,
one by Senator Dupont and one by
Senator Scott, all of whom offered
them as substitutes, had been voted
down.
Throughout the entire controversy
the anti-administration campaign has
been directed by Senator oraker. In
the final vote in the committee a
majority OF the republican members
came to his support. The Ohio SEN
itor expressed himself as gratified at
this as it was apparent from the
outset that all the democratic mem
bers were convinced that the negroes
did the shooting
The Fight will be carried to the
floor of the senate. It is expected
that Senator Foraker will press the
matter to a vote there. If he should
secure the same proportion of re-
publican members of the senate as
he had in the committee, the vote
will be closer than has been antlci-
pated.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-02-26

The committee was in session today
nearly three hours. Senator Lodge
offered the following resolution:
"That in the opinion of the COM
mittee the shooting ARRAY IN
Brownsville on the night of August
10 and IA, 1906, was done by some
of the soldiers belonging to the
Twenty-fifth U. s. infantry, then sta
toned at Fort Brown. Texas"
Senator Foraker offered as substi-
tute:
''The testimony wholly fails to
identify individuals or any of them
who participated in the shooting"
The Foraker substitute was defeat
ed by a vote of eight to five, the af-
firmatives being Scott, Foraker, Hem
enway, Buckley and Dupont. The
negative votes were: Warren, Lodge,
Warner, Taliaferro, Foster, Overman,
Frazer and McCreary. The last five
named are democrats.
The Lodge resolution was adopted
by the same division, except that
Senator Dupont did not vote, MAX
ing three republicans and five demo-
Gratis in favor Of supporting the dis
charge of the negroes and four re-
publicans on record against it.
Senator Warner offered the follow
ing resolution:
.1That the testimony afils to iden-
tify the particular soldier or soldiers
who participated in the shooting af-
fray"
1t was agreed to by a vote of eight
yeas, five republican senators oppos-
ed to the Lodge resolution not vot-
ing. -N--------

SUICIDE AS AN ESCAPE.
Indian Pursued by Officer Preferred
Death to Capture.

Chamberlain, July 49, A con-
fession was made few days ago by
Pete Thompson, Sioux Indian be-
longing on the Rosebud reservation,
that certain white men living in the
vicinity of the reservation have In
duced Indians to steal horses and
cattle. and that the white men con-
cerned have made business OF pur-
chasing the stolen animals, knowing
them to have been stolen.
Recently an Indian policeman was
sent to arrest Thompson on the
charge Of horse stealing on the res
ervation. Upon the approach Of the
policeman Thompson fed and the
policeman gave chase, both being
mounted on ponies. The pony ridden
by the policeman proved the swift
er of the two, and he gained ON
Thompson to such an extent that
the capture Of the latter seemed i'm
inent. when Thompson, rather than
be captured drew his six-sbooter
and shot himself under the chin In
an effort to commit suicide.
But the effort was failure. as
he is yet alive and 1t Is stated he
Will recover, notwithstanding that
the bullet Is lodged between his
eyes. After regaining consciousness
he made his confession.

ooRoNEe's VERDICT RENDERED..
Ernest Il. Randall Charged With
Murder Of Nj. II. Bright.

Ernest Is. Randall Charged With
Murder of NJ. II. Bright.
The coroner's jury called James
Dragoo, OF Nebraska City. Nebraska,
to the witness stand Saturday and
questioned him with reference to
the past life OF his brother, M. r..
'Dragoo or M. F. Bright, and Ran
dali. Dragoo stated that when his
brother was living near Everett,
Washington. Randall worked there
for him and that one night when
the two were out stealing chickens
man caught them and they killed
him. Bright made his escape and
was never captured while Randall
was arrested before he could get
away, tried and convicted. Bright
then sent money and in some way
Randall was released after having
been combined for some time. That
in all probability accounts for the
hold" that Randall had on Bright
here.
Mrs. Bright was recalled to the
stand and was requestioned as to
some Of the events on the day Of the
fatal shooting. Sheriff Bangs and
Deputy Hewett also testified.
AFTER a due consideration OF the
evidence the jury. which was com
posed of Charles M. Fallon, Charles
Raben and Tom Daily, rendered the
following verdict:.
State OF South Dakota, County OF
Pennington.
An inquest holden at Rapid City
in said county and state on the 9Th
day OF July. 1908, before r. j. jack
son, the coroner OF said county. upon

The said Jurors upon their oath
do say that the said Marion F. Bright
came to his death In the said county
on the forenoon Of July s. 1908,
near INLAY. in said county, by means
Of a gun or revolver shot wound,
which said wound was inflicted by
one Ernest B. Randall, with felon-
ious intent as said jurors verify .e-
