Sam Kennerly Bound Over

The preliminary hearing Of Sam Kenner-
ly,charged with shooting and manning Jes-
Sc Bunch and George Horton, was held
before Justice Cole last Friday and Mr..
Kennerly was held for trial at the Feb
ruary term Of the district court. ]. c.
Gano and c. B. Kinkaid continue as
suretes on his bond. The bond was FIX
ed at $4,000.
The evidence brought out at the pre-
liminary hearing developed nothing new.
The facts are substantially as related at
the time Of the shooting. There was
big crap game at the ice house on the
night Of December 18th. There was
quaneling during the game between Sam
Kennerly and Geo. Horton and again
between Sam Kennerly and Ben Kauf-
man. One Of the witnesses, Jess Bunch,
who is one Of the injured ones, testified
that Kennerly pulled revolver on Ben
ny Kaufman at the ice house while the
gambling was going on and before the
shooting at the bus barn, but the others
who testified as to what transpired in the
ice house, Horton, Golden and Kauf-
man, swore they did not see a gun play
there.
The shooting occurred at the bus barn
about two hours after the game at the
ice house broke up. Two shots were
fired and Horton and Bunch were the
victims. Horton was shot in the arm and
Bunch in the hand leg and groin. Both
have recovered sufficiently to be up and
about. Bunch is unable to entirely open
or close his hand and HortonIs arm will
never be normal.
The evidence was that the party had
eight quarts Of Monogram whiskey, that
Bunch. the negro, was mine host" but
he claims that he did not sell it. He
had been on his way to a friend
house with the liquor intending to have
a good time but he happened to stop at
the ice house to roll the bones" and the
boys helped themselves to the Mono.
Bunch tells pretty straight Story but he
is not as willing as the prosecution would
like. The other witnesses were poor
with their respective memories. They
knew they were drunk but aside from
that could recollef but little. There are
means by which memories can be quick
ened and refreshed on such occasions
and the prosecution indmates that at the
trial in the district court these evasive
tactics will not be tolerated.
The defense stands on the proposition
that Kennerly shot in the defense of the
bus barn, that matches had been lighted
there, the gang had a can of oil and
there was great danger Of FIRE. Ken
nerly. we understand, denies the CUR
play at the ice house All of the wit
nesses agree that there were some match
es lighted at the bus barn and that there
was considerable cigarette smoking.

Forest City Gets Depot.

The new depot between Medicine
Lodge and Lake City on the Santa Fe
was located at Forest City, north
west Of this city. Some few months
ago the company decided that a depot
between Medicine Lodge and Lake
City would be established but left the
matter open as to site. Mingona and
Forest City were both striving for it and
the citizens of each community worked
very earnestly, but withal fairly and hon.
orabIy.
On Friday a special train carrying
company officials arrived and they went
up to Mngona and Forest City and
went over the situation very carefully and
decided that more people would be
served by establishing the station at
Forest. The officials who were here
were ]. c. Schafer, division superintend-
ent, of Wellington; Mr.. McCamm, sup

ion.
The depot site will be 5000 feet
long and 300 feet wide. The ground
was donated by the citizens around

During Mr.. Shafer's brief time in the
county several of our citizens interviewed
him on the possibility of procuring better
railroad service. He stated that in or
