NEGRO CROSS-EXAMINES
HIS FORMER SWEETHEART
LaughabIe Scene Enacted In Justice
Court When Dusky Suspect
Faces ErstWhiIe
Love

A comedy was enacted in Police JUS
tice Chambers court yesterday after
noon during the trial of w. H. H.
Morris, a negro, charged with placing
poison in milk at the boarding house
conducted by Annie Martin at $40 East
First street. The laughable feature of
the trial came during the testimony of
Isabelle Phillips, former sweetheart
of Morris
On direct examination she told her
story concerning her relation with the
accused. She said they were quite
friendly for awhile, then her love
changed and she ordered Morris to
cease coming to see her. She declared
he threatened to kill her and warned
her on one occasion that some poison
might find it's way into her food. His
words to her were in effect that the &C
cused had a premonition there was
going to be sickness in her family and
he thought she might be the victim.
Morris expressed a desire to cross
examine the witness. He began a long
harangue and was told by the court to
confine his remarks to questions. He
would ask lengthy questions and when
the replies Of the witness were adverse
to his case, both would argue the point,
to the edification Of those in the court
room.
Inc CONTROVERSY ran dIOuS IulS nHe
until Morris had tired Of questioning
the woman: "Now didn't you say such
and such thing?"
mo, 1 didn't" she would retort.
eyes, you did, and you know It," he
would reply.
mo, 1 didn't. You shut up. You
haven't any sense"
Efforts Of the justice and the attor-
neys to stop this method Of cross ex-
animation were without avail for a
time, but finally Justice Chambers held
Morris to answer to the superior court
in bonds of $4,000.

A tuneful and amusing musical
comedy is being offered at the Unioue

one act, is supposed to portray the
adventures of an Irtsh-Mexican in Old
Mexico. In his usual adventurous
spirit he becomes a tOreadOr and one
OF the numbers is bull fight which
IS upfoar1ouSIy funny. Will Arm

display his ability as an Irish comedian
and is largely responsible for the
many laughs through the comedy.

two. Among the catchy song num-

De MANvlLLE'S
SLAYER CAUGHT
FORCED BY SHERIFF HAMMEL
TO SURRENDER
SAYS HE MISToOK CONSTABLE
FOR HoLDUP MAN
Had Been Hiding In the Foothills, but
Came Down at NightfaII to
Ranch for Food and
Shelter

John H. Allen, ARIZONA Jack" who
shot and killed Deputy Constable
Charles de Manville at Newhan Mon
day night, was captured at the ole
Kellogg ranch near Newhall last nigh
by Sheriff w. H. Han1mel and Deputy
Sheriff Martin Aguirre. He wa:
brought to Los Angeles and placed IL
the county Jail with the charge Of muir
der against his name.
Allen, who is a small wiry man, 81
years Of age, tells a story of the shoot
ing which places an entirely different
complexion on the affair.
According to the account by the
prisoner at the county jail last night
he had been in NewhaIl Monday night
drinking, and for noisy and boisterous
conduct had been elected from q sa-
loon there.
From the saloon he went to a show
in the opera house, and after the show
returned to the saloon and got some
to walk to the Kellogg ranch, where
he was employed.
When he got to the edge Of the town
five men who had dropped off a freight
train some time previously, and had
seen him in the saloon spending money,
attempted to hold him up. He resisted
them and when he succeeded in get
ting loose from them drew a revolver
and fired several shots at them. The
men disappeared in the darkness, 60
ing toward the twon, and few min
utes later a man who proved to be
Deputy Constable de Manville came up
to him and pointing a gun at him
ordered him to throw up his hands.
Allen thinking it was one of the men
who had attempted to hold him up
started to draw his revolver again and
De Manville fired three shots at him,
two Of which went wild, while the
third passed through his coat, burning
him along the side of the back.
At the third shot Allen drew his re-
volver and fired one shot at the Off
Ger. This ran up his arm, penetrated
his breast, entered his heart and killed
him instantly.
Allen then made his way to the old
Kellogg ranch and passed the night in
the barn after getting something to eat.
Yesterday he went to the new Kellogg
ranch and told his employer, Charles
Kellogg, of the shooting. He then went
into the foothills near by.
Kellogg notified Constable Pardee
and he notified the sheriff of Aliens
probable whereabouts. Sheriff Hammel
and Deputy Aguirre went to the old
Kellogg ranch yesterday afternoon and
secuted all through the foothills near
there without finding any trace of AL
len. The ywaited, however, at the
ranch and last night shortly after Z
o'clock Allen came down from the hills
to get something to eat and to sleep
in the barn. AS he was approaching
the barn Sheriff Hammel held him up
with a rifle and arrested him. He was
brought at once to this city.

PRISONER Stole
FROM HIS JAlLER
FEDERAL COURT WITNESS GETS $3.50
IN CASS COUNTY JAIL BUT IT
IS RECOVERED.

Fargo, N. D., June 7.-Once
in while a man gets so crooked
that he can't sleep in bed any
more, but even then it is seldom
that he can get away with any
thing after they get him behind
the bars. That is what Tommy
Ryan, the witness that the gov
ernment has brought from Wash
ington state penitentiary to testify
against Goodheart did, however.
He stole $13O from the trunk be-
longing to the jaller of the Cass
county Jail after he was locked up
in the cell there. He had to be
put into different part of the Jail
from the other men who are held
as witnesses in the case, and as the
Jail arrangements are not SO COM
modious as they might be, he was
put into an apartment opposite
edward Simpson, the murderer.
He got some liberty there and
made his way to the room which
the jailor occupies, going through
his trunk and incidentally annex
ing the money.
Simpson got "wise"1 to the per-
formance, and held Ryan up for
$25 of the sum, to keep it quiet
and not tell the officials. When
the loss was discovered, Ryan was
searched, and the money found on
him, except for the amount Simp-
son had. Ryan told them where
this was, and after thorough
search the bills were found, sewed
up in the seam of Simpsons
trousers. The thievery was prob
ably the trickiest on record and
other crooks are taking off their
hats to Ryan.

Locals Take Another.

The game between the Locals
and the Des Lacs team played at
Bruegger park Sunday was an
other demonstration of the kind OF
goods we have in Williston.
While the game was a close,
hard contest, it lacked animation
and there was not the usual en-
thusiasm displayed by the fans in
proceeding games this year.
Joe Cutting, whom we think
has been eating some of the new
tangled breakfast foods or alfalka
bread, let a couple of creased ones
soil his hands and then pass on.
This, Joe did, but he also did bin
gle of the incest fiery comets max
ing the second baseman and S. s.
for Des Laos hunt for a place of
safety.
Pitcher Leach is without a
doubt good head and deserves a
great deal of credit from the Will
liston fans. At two stages of the
game the clouds lowered, bases
full and no men out, doom, disas-
trous ard final stared the locals in
the face. Then the old ship Leach
steadied down, sighted the course,
and in both instances retired the
side without a run being made.
All of the Locals are good with
the stick and if they keep up, to-
gether with the same good fielding
they have shown we will take off
our hats to no one in the state.
These visitors are the hardest
proposition the Locals have tackled
this year. The score was 2 to l
for the Locals.

LAND SEEKERS
WILL RUSH TO N. D.
PROPOSED OPENING OF BERTHOLD IN.

MANY SETTLERS.

Washington, June 4.-Indica-
tions are that the northwest will
again be the scene of a great land
rush shortly and this time North
Dakota and not its sister state to
the south will be the objective
point. In short, it is proposed to
open the Fort Berthold Indian
reservation with it's 100000 acres
of land, containing it is said, some
of the very best farming lands OF
the west.
Representative Hanna of Fargo,
who is fathering the movement,
already has introduced bill in
congress with view of bringing
about speedy settlement of the
Indian estate. The Indian allot
ments have already been made in
great part, it is claimed, and with
this matter finally adjusted moth
Jog will remain to be done save
the classification and appraisement
of the land by a commission to be
appointed by the president for
that purpose.
The bill as introduced by the
Fargo congressman is fashioned
after those which proved SO sue
c,ssful in the opening of the Rose
bud and other great Indian reser-
vations in the west. For example
the lands will be disposed of by
proclamation under the general
provisions of the homeste a d
