seen DeHart at the scene of the shoot
ing as DeHart testified. Mr.. Davis had
the witness stand ups and illustrate
the position and motions he made in
the struggle with Sutton on the
ground Just before Sutton was shot.
Mr.. Davis read from UtIey's testimony
at the inquest following Sutton 8
death.
You said then that you saw some
one wrench a revolver from Sutton's
hand, heard some one say get the
other gun, and in your effort to do
so you went toward SuttOn's feet and
then turned and saw the flash. Now
Sutton's left shoulder and feeling I'M

saw him raise his arm and fire the
shot that killed him. Which is right 30

I was feeling for the gun when the
flash came" replied Lieutenant Ut

Major Leonard asked the witness
If he was positive that no other hand

GETSCONT
Will Build Santa Fe Oil House to Cost
About 100000.

Charles A. Fellows, former, mayor
of Topeka, now of Los Angeles, has
been awarded the contract for the
erection of the new modern oil house
in the Santa Fe shop district Mr..
Fellows stated last night that he
would likely commence work on the
new structure some time next week.
Much of the material has been order
ed and is expected to arrive so that
work can be commenced next week.
No exact figures were given, but it
was reported that the contract called
for about $4,000 above the original
estimates, which placed the amount
for construction at $4,000. The
original estimates, however, did not
figure the equipment in the building
high enough. About 100000 will be
spent altogether in the erection of the
building and the installation of the
equipment.
The new building will be one of
the beautiful buildings in the shop
district from an architectural stand
point. 1t will be one of the largest
and most thoroughly modern struc-
lures in the country.

Work on the extension was delayed
until two years ago this month when
the road was partially graded between
Onaga and Marysville. Then the
