MULLEN MURDER TESTIMONY.
State Claims Mcintyre Killed Hamil-
ton With Gun in Saloon.


Mullen, Ncb, June 17.-The jury
was secured in the Mcintyre murder
trial and the taking of testimony be-
gun following the outline of the case
by the prosecution and defense. II.
.G. Mcintyre is accused of the killing
of o. f. Hamilton, an aged lawyer and
land agent whose body was found
several months following his disap-
pCarancc in n sand dune near the
town of Mullen. Hamilton, it has
been alleged, aroused the cnemity of
many people in this section by turn
cases in Nebraska.
The prosecution in its statement
said it was prepared to prove that
Mcintyre killed Hamilton in saloon,
by striking him over the head with a
rcvolvcr that two witnesses were
present at the killing, and under
threats helped bury the body.
The allegation of the defense is that
Mcintyre was not present at the kill
ing but that Frank Clevcngcr, who
confessed he was present and inform
ed on Mcintyre, was the actual Stay
CT. The testimony was limited to the
story of the finding of the body and
the nature of the wounds on IIamil-
toms head. Former supreme court
Justice w. d. Oldham is assisting in
the prosecution and former Chief Jus.
ticc j. j. Sullivan has been retained
by the defense.

O'NEILL SEWER BIDS HIGH
Exceed by $4,000 the Amount of Bonds
That Were Voted.

O'Neill, Neb, June 17.-Special to
The News: The bids filed with the
city for the installing of the sewerage
system adopted by the voters last
month were opened by the council and
the lowest bid was found to exceed the
amount voted for by $4,000. This came
as a surprise to the people who had
the proposed lines carefully surveyed
by Il competent engineer, who fixed
the amount necessary to build the sys-
tom at $4,000. The principal reason
assigned for the high bids submitted
was the nature of part of the ground
to be worked and the danger of quick
sand existing. TO the city officials this
is not sufficient reason to warrant such
unusually high bids and they are in
vcstigating. That the system will be
installed there is no doubt, and con-
lidcnce is expressed in the judgment
of the engineers who made the orig
inal estimate.
The eXcavating of the basement of
the addition to Saint Mary's academy
is nearly finished, and the building
will be rushed to completion as soon
as possible.
