STEVE ADAMS UNCLE.
Appears at Grand Junction to Testify
for Nephew.

Grand Junction. Col, June 27.-War-
rem Lhllard. an uncle of Steve Adams,
who has devoted his time and money
for the last five years in an effort to
save his nephew from the gallows has
arrived and will appear as a witness
for the defense to the trial of Adams.
which opens here Monday, where the
first panel of 100 talesmen will have
been secured.
Lillard, who is over so years old. is
an eccentric character. His home is at
Decatur. Texas, and he is a race horse
man, having one of the finest strings
or horses in that state. He also owns
ranch near Haines. Ore. and it was
on this ranch that Adams was taken
In custody the first time. Lillard was
formerly a resident of Kentucky, and
1t is alleged was prominently involved
in the famous Breathitt county feud.
During the trial of Adams in Idaho,
1T is said, Lillard almost created a riot
in the court room by jumping to his
feet and calling a Pinkerton detective
a liar while the latter was testifying

luride. arrived today and will be wit
ness for the prosecution. The sheriff
and deputies, who are at work serving
| notices on the 100 veniremen, will be
ready to report Monday. 1t is said that
| only about 60 per cent of the names
| chosen have been located by the Off
GERS, some of the parties having moved
| from the county. others being away on
visits, while still others. learning that
| the sheriff was after them, have left
| the county purposely.
Each side in the trial will have 15
peremptory challenges and a number of
talesmen will probably be dismissed for
cause, so that it is probable that it
will take at least two and possibly
three sets of veniremen before the Jury
is completed.
That fair trial will be given Adams
is certain. Before the application for
change of venue from San Miguel coun-
ty had been made 800 names were
placed on the jury list for the next

MARION MURDER CASE.
The Evidence Against Carr Is Strong
and Voluminous.

Marion, Kan. June 27.-The trial
of w. T. Carr promises to last at least
throughout next week.
The most novel piece of evidence to
be introduced in the trial is the ex-
press car in which Messenger Bailey
lost his life. The car is in Marion now
and will be offered as evidence when
the proper time arrives.
In w. II. Carpenters statement to
the jury he undertook to trace by a
chain of evidence watches, jewelry
and money found by the officers in the
pool room in Newton, Kan, in which
the accused was employed at the time
of his arrest from the shippers into
the custody of the murdered messen-
ger on that fateful night. One of the
watches in question was Identified by
make and number as one that was
consigned by a Chicago firm to I. K.
Rogers. Protection, Kan. The works
of another watch was identified in the
same manner as one consigned by a
Kansas City jewelry company to a
firm in Arkansas City, Kan. The cur

witnesses testified to seeing the accus-
ed in the express car with Bailey
shortly previous to the leaving of his
train from Kansas City Union depot.
The accused's brother-in-law testi-
fed that Carr told him he arrived in
Newton on train No. IT, which ran
twelve minutes ahead of lis. He also
identified the overcoat in the pockets
of which the watches and jewelry
were found as belonging to Carr. Wit
nesses testified to damaging express

TRADE IS QUIET.
Partakes of the Usual Midsummer
Conditions

New York, June 27-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade this week has taken on most
OF the characteristics of a midsummer
period. Retail business has been
helped by warm weather in most sec
tions and by widespread reduction
sales. Jobbing houses have received
moderate filling in orders and made
the usual clearance sales. Fall buy
ing has been and is cautious, but
feeling is conservatively optimistic.
Such lines as leather, staple worSted
woods. agricultural implements and a
few lines of steel products are more
active, but the great industries as a
whole are below normal activity and
summer shut downs promise to be
more widely INDUCED in than for some
years past. Shoe shipments since
January 1 from eastern centers are
the smallest reported for II years
past. The railroads of the country
are making preparations for crop
moving and car repair material is be-
ing taken more freely. Coal and lum-
Der are quiet but coke is quite active.
A slight decrease in the number idle in
the building trades is reported. La
Dor is still plentiful and cheap.
Southern cotton yarn mills have ap-
parently decided against running any
larger quantities of machinery pend
ing improved demand and prices.
There is reported more doing in the
export cotton goods trade and low
prices are causing a wide distribution
of summer wash dress fabrics at re-
tail. Collections are no better than
fair at any center and slow as a rule.

Austin, Tex. June Eff the action
of the state of Texas in garnisheeing

carried to a logical conclusion. Receiver
Dorchester of the Waters Pierce Oil
company. will be forced to negotiate
with independent oil operators for the
Standard Oil company will be unable
to collect for petroleum sold and deliv-

The state applied for and obtained a
writ of garnishment to stop the de-

of the defendants in the antitrust suit
of the state against the Security Oil

NO REGULAR CANDIDATE
Republican Row in Seventh Iowa Dis
trict Not Yet Settled.

Des Moines, Ia, June 27.-It now
seems certain that there will be no
regularly nominated Republican can
didate for congress in the Seventh
Iowa district and both Captain Hull
and Judge Prouty may go on the bal
lot as Independents.
1t is more than probable that the
Dallas county contest will be carried
to the state supreme court and there
is but slight chance of it being decided
before the November election. In
that event there will be no Republican
candidate and if either Judge Prouty
or Captain Hull -ish to make the race
for congress they must get on the bal
lot by petition as independents.
