WOMAN'S TRIAL
IS STRENUOUS
MRS. DUDEN'S CAGE SEEMS TO
BE WEAKENED
State Also Attempts to Prove There
Was Ample Time Before Police
Arrived for Evidence to
Be "Fixed"
[By Associated Press.


SAN DIEGO, March 15.-The Duden
trial today was comparatively bare OF
sensationalism, except when the pros
ecution essayed to prove that Mr..
Duden followed Bruce Shelter down
the stairway after the shooting of the
latter, and that Mrs. Duden opened
the screen of q window and looked
out.
Witnesses who. testified along these
lines were w. d. Country and FL. A.
Brown, who swore they were in front
of Conniry's store, diagonally across
the street, and Fred Bergman, clerk
in a store directly beneath the lodg-
ing house. The prosecution also
sought to show that there was ample
time between the firing Of the last
shot and the time when the officers
arrived for some one to enter Shelf
f1er's room and disturb things.
1t was attempted to show the doors
easily have been opened and entrance
to Shelters room gained without
passing through the hallway.
Against this view Miss Effie James
testified that a dresser stood against
the door connecting Mrs. Duden's
room and that of the witness, while
the door between her room and the
always locked.
Frequent objections and numerous
wrangles between counsel marked the
morning session.
Assistant Prosecutor Utley insisted
upon referring to the testimony Of
Miss Eva James, sister of the Defend
ant, given before the grand jury at the
time of the indictment of Mrs. Duden
and comparing it with her testimony
of Saturday and this morning, which
contradicted her statements made in
the grand jury room.
Attorneys Strenuous
Attorneys for the defense were
equally strenuous in Directing to such
procedure, personalities being ex-
changed several times.
The contradictory statements of Miss
James were made with reference to the
whereabouts of Mrs. Duden's husband
at the time Shelter was killed.
Miss James, on the stand this morn
ing, said she did not know where Du-
den was at that particular time. Pre-
viously in the grand jury room and at
the coroner's inquest she had testified
he was in her room with her.
w. B. Country, an automobile deal
err, testified that, he was opposite the
rooming house in which Shelter was
killed on the evening of the shooting.
He heard three shots and a few sec
onds later saw Shelter stagger down
the steps in his shirt sleeves, and fall
into the doorway of a nearby paint
shop.
"About ten seconds after the shots
saw Duden come down the steps, look
out of the doorway and up and down
the street." testified. Country. HE
was also in his shirt sleeves and bare
headed
Country said twenty seconds elapsed
between the first and second shots and
only about four seconds between the
second and third shots
This is in substantiation of the claim
of the prosecution that Shelter was
shot at, at least twice as he staggered
down the steps, and is somewhat dam
aging to the claim of the defense of
self-defense.

Would Beat Railroad.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Dec. G. The
region near Bancroft was the scene
of an exciting chase, the pursued be-
while the pursuers were Station Agent
Engel of Bancroft, and a number of
his friends. The Missourian had jump
ed a freight bill and after taking a
passenger train to make his way out
of the country, was pursued for a
number of miles by the station agent
and his friends, who had impressed
a hand car into service in the effort to
overtake the fleeing man.
The Missourian arrived at Bancroft
few days ago with a carload of
apples. Before paying the freight
charges, which amounted to $1S6, he
broke the seal of the car and com
menced selling the apples from the
track. From day to day he promised
the station agent he would pay the
freight charges. When the apples
were nearly all sold the Missouran
promised the station agent he would
nay the amount due the next day
That evening he sNeaked aboard a
west bound passenger train. His de
parture was soon discovered and the
station agent and his friends started
in pursuit on the hand car.
Failing to overtake the PASSENGER
train they sent word ahead to Huron
70 arrest the fugitive, but before the
police could search the train after
its arrival at Huron the Missouriar
had made connections with the south
bound train and was on his way tC
his home. II he can be located he may
be put to the expense of being brought
back to South Dakota to stand trial or

company.

secret service have been engaged in

At Concil Bluffs last September the
United States grand jury indicted
James G. Mabray and eighty-four as
sociates on charge of conspiring to
defraud through the use of the mails.
Several of those indicted are in Jail
here awaiting trial. Some of the ac-
cused have never been located by the
authorities, while few others have
been successful in fighting extradition.
Wrestlers, pugilists, turfmen and other
sporting men have been involved
Others of the band are declared to be
well known criminals with long
records.
Although speclfc amounts were not
mentioned in the indictments, 1t is
said that the amounts lost by the al
legged victims of Mabray and his as
sociates will exceed million dollars
The sums lost run from 81 500 to $50,
600, the later sum having been placed
on fake horse race, according to the
evidence at hand, by a Missouri bank

HOG CHOLERA NEVER so BAD.

Scouree Is Costing Kansas Farmers
Millions, c. e. Sutton Says.
Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 6.-The hog
cholera epidemic in Kansas is much
more virulent form of the disease than
ever before has been found in the
state, according to C. e. Sutton of
Lawrence. Mr. Sutton is president of
the Kansas board of agriculture, and
is one of the largest hog raisers in
the state.
"Kansas has had some bad cholera
years." Mr.. Sutton said, "but none OF
them has been so deadly as the last
two. Last year l lost 1877 hogs from
my herd, while over the entire state
the loss must have totaled $2,000,00C
at the least estimate.
"The cholera this year is much more
virulent than we ever have expert
enced. 1t takes the hogs suddenly and
they die in few hours. | have seer
them walk up to the trough to eat
and fall over dead. One neighbor was
looking at his herd just before he went
to bed and remarked what a fine, heal
thy lot of hogs he had. When he came
out to feed them in the morning he
found fifteen dead.
u do not know Just what relief car
be expected from the government, bu
the farmers of Kansas will watch any
experiments made with great interest.
Recently a successful test of anti
hog cholera serum was made at thu
stock yards. a report was submitted
to the department of agriculture, un
der whose surveillance the test wa
made. but no bulletin has been issuet
by the government and no effort mad
