CLAIM HE TOOK LAW
INTO HIS OWN HANDS.

Marion Carter was yesterday after
noon bound over to the grand jury
by Justice A. J. Welter after hear
ing on the charge of fourishing
deadly weapon. His bond was fixed
at $500 and has not been secured.
It is stated that Carter applied for
search warrant before Justice Wei
ter Saturday evening and, falling to
get the necessary paper on account
of the press of other matters that re-
quired all the time of the justice, he
went to the house of Mrs. Howe, east
of the railroad, and, fourishing re-
volver. searched Harry Kane, r. R.
Corbett, G. w. Harris and J. H. Hig-
ham, roomers at the Howe house, for
some small change that he thought
they had taken from trunk belong
ing to Mrs. Howe. The house is the
old building recently moved from the
Elk lots to a lot east of the railroad
on Third street and used as a hall
by the labor union. Mrs. Howe sold
her interest in the place Saturday
and left Sunday morning for points
north.

AMERICANS HAVE BIG
TIME IN AUSTRALIA

Sidney, Australia, Aug 25.-A gym
pana was held at the Royal Agricult-
ural Society show grounds today and
the athletic events brought. out big
crowds. The program began at eleven
O'Clock in the morning and the con-
tests did not come to an end until
this afternoon. In addition to the mill
tary and naval sports, there were
speechmaking, jumping and boomer
ang throwing contest; sheep dog trials
etc. The men enjoyed the day thor
oughly. In the tug of war, the team
from the British warships defeated
the American sailors. In the 300 yard
foot race British sailor was first
and the Americans second and third
The Americans won one base bali
game and were defeated In another.
The light weight boxing champion
ship of the fleet resulted in an eight
round draw between Lynch of the Bat
tleship Ohio and Melloy, of the Mis-
souri,. In the course of the afternoon
thousands of people visited the bat
tleshfps. 1t rained hard all afternoon
but not sufficient to deter the excur-
sionists. The commonwealth tonight
entertained 1000 American Officers
and sailors at theatre parties.

the evidence which his office had ag-
ainst the person who he believes
committed the crime was purely cir
cumstantial.
Among the many questions which
the protecutor has asked persons who
are connected with the Johnson fam
lily, those regarding the domestic re-
lations of the Johnson family remain
ed unanswered. When Mrs. Edgar
Hit, who was reared in the Johnson
home, was asked concerning the do
mestic relations of the family she an
swered: 'I. would rather not say any
thing. about that. 1t can do no good"
Many others advance the same reas-
ons for their silence

one mile farther east to a farm own
ed by a Mr.. Sloan. There he asked
for work and was kept until night
fall. From there he followed the rail-
road track east. The tracks run with.
in $50 yeards of the Johnson home,
and it is thought by few that this
man was the one who attempted to
murder Mrs. Johnson.
The majority of persons in and
about Buckner, however, think that
they know who the assailant is and
give circumstantial evidence to back
their judgment. Prosecuting Attorney
1. B. Kimbrell, who has spent two
days investigating the case, also
holds that the blow was not struck
by one who was unacquainted with
the Johnson home, and hiB theory is
the same as the one which has al
ways been advanced by those who
were acquainted with the Johnson
family. Mr.. Kimbreu believes that
money was the motive of the crime.
Though two days have been spent
in investigation by the prosecutor
and other county officials, there is
no likelihood of an arrest Just yet.
Mr.. Kimbren said last night that all

the building has been fitted up en-
tirely with new furnishings, furni-
ture, linen, disnes, etc.
A sufficient guarantee of the sue
cess of Mrs. Davidson in this new
venture is that she is experienced in

ness in the Pecos Valley and has ma
ny friends in Roswell. For the past
fifteen years sac has been engaged

NO ARREST
MADE YET

Sundays Kansas City Star.
The status of the Buckner Slugging
case is still just this-there probably
will be an arrest soon. Peculiar condi-
tions make it expedient, the prosecut-
ing attorney believes, to wait until
the passing crisis in Mrs. William A.
Johnson's condition. Mrs. Johnson's
skull was fractured by a blow while
she was asleep in her bedroom early
Thursday morning.
The Buckner men who telephoned
Isaac B. Kimbren, the prosecutor,
yesterday afternoon to go there i'm
mediately believed they had enough
facts in hand to justify an immediate
arrest. Martin Roos, chief deputy
marshal, accompanied the prosecutor,
ready to act. The prosecutor, the dep
uty marshal and the half dozen Buck
ner residents held long conference
in the bank of Buckner at which all
evidence, old and new, was gone over
A multiplication of the indirect evil
dence on which the prosecutor had
based his theories was what he gain
ed by the conference. After it he went
once more to the Johnson home, in
quired about the condition of the in
jured woman and had Mr. Johnson
repeat his story of what happened on
Thursday morning. He told precisely
the same story told before.
New Theory Of Woman in Case.
The Kansas city journal of Sun
day contained a long article on the
Johnson case, part of which follows:
The latest theory as to the circum-
stances which surround the crime is
that a certain person who was seen
lettering about Lake City, a small
village seven miles west of the John
son farm, Wednesday, was hired by
a woman to kill Mrs. Johnson.
1t is said that though this woman
did not know Mrs. Johnson, she was
we'll acquainted with the husband,
who visited her when he was in Kan
sas City. The idea is that this Kansas
City woman found Mrs. johnson to
be a stumbling block and contrived
to have her put out ..of the way. To
that she hired this man who was seen
in Lake City to do the deed.
What strengthens the suspicion is
the fact that a Kansas City woman,
with whom Mr.. johnson is said to be
we'll acquainted, telephoned ito Buck
ner on Thursday morning and asked
concerning Mrs. Johnson. This was
before the assault had become gen.
orally known in Kansas City.
The man upon whom the suspicion
of some rests was seen in Lake City
about noon on Wednesday. Two hours
later he stopped at a farm house be-
longing to B. Neal, two miles east of
Lake City. There he asked for work,
and none being given him, he walked
