A jury was called for 2 o'clock Sat.
urday afternoon to decide the case OF
Richard Boldt versus Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Nord in Justice Eiseley's
court. In this case Boldt claims Mr..
and Mrs. Nord, who are living on his
farm east of here, are unlawfully and
forcibly Withholding the premises
which belong to him. Some time ago
the farm was the scene of a lively
fight, in which a hammer played a
prominent part, one of the men being
knocked down.
Extra precautions were taken by
Chief of Police Marquardt in making
notes of buildings on which were loose
boards that were in danger of being
blown to the ground with possibility of
injuring pedestrians. He also made
visits to properties on which there
were dead trees, and says he will or
der all such trees cut down, owing to
the fact that there is much danger to
life from the falling limbs.
Chief of Police Marquardt served
papers on James Gray of South Fifth
street to appear before Justice Else
ley on charges filed by Peter Mum,
who claims that Gray assaulted, beat,
wounded and illtreated Mrs. Muff, also
of South Fifth street. Gray and Mrs.
Muff, it is said, have had numerous
quarrels about fences surrounding
their properties. The trial will come
up in Justice Eiseley's court May IL.

did not resist the officers and his
pistol was handed to the deputy eher-

Bradley makes plea Of self dc
tense. He said that the the Difficult
ty with Lansdown grew out Of u Job
of work on the house of Clabe Over
ton on South High street. The car
penters had employed Lansdown to do
some thinning work, but the latter
had neglected to finish 1t and they
came to Bradley and procured him to
do the work Lansdown appeared to
take offense at this and on Fri
day charged Bradley with having un-
dermined HIM in the matter. This
Bradley denied.
This morning, Mr. BZradley stated,
Lansdown passed him on the street
at the point where the shooting took
place and rubbed up against him in
a very offensive manner. They had
some words and Lansdown denounced
him witha bitter oath. This was fol-
lowed up by a most aggressive and
offensive advance upon the part Of
who, according to Bradley,
put his hand in his pocket as if to
lraw a weapon. Bradley believing
hat his life was in imminent danger,
lrew his pistol and fred two shots.

Lansdown dies at 12:45 o'clock as a
result of his wounds. Although he
had revived when he first reached
home, he soon began sinking, and
was beyond all help within few min

Lansdown was shot in the upper
right breast, and in the lower left
abdomen, and it is from the latter
wound that death resulted. Both the
bullets lodged in the body.
DR.. P. D. Biddle was summoned to
the sick man Immediately after the
shooting, and DR.. VOORHEES,, the 9TH

Lansdown before he fell.
The dead mans acquaintances were
not greatly surprised at the shooting,

desperate character when he is drink

As the result of quarrel Of a job
OF work. NJ. M. Bradley shot and IA
tally wounded Will Lansdown on
South Main street at noon today. The
shooting was done on one Of the bus
lest streets of the city right at one OF
the busiest hours and the wonder IL
that no one else was hit.
1t Is difficult to get full statement
OF the causes leading up to the din
Guilty but 1t is known that the partic-
ipants had quarrel as the result or
business differences. Both we're in
the timing business and it is said
that they had row on yesterday at
the place of business of Bradley. 1t
il presumed that the quarrel was re-
sumed this morning with the fatal re-
suits.
The shooting took place on South
Main street almost directly in front
of Atkeisson's grocery and near the
place of business of Bradley. Two
shots were fred, both of which took
deadly effect. The wounded man
spoke but few words before he fell
He was at once carried to his home
and medical aid summoned.
Bradley was placed under arrest by
Deputy Sheriff Hight and other off,
GERS and carried to the Jail. His pis-
tol was taken by Deputy Sheriff
Hight.
The shooting at the time and in the
public place created a great deal of
excitement and within a short time
a large crowd had assembled where
It occurred. The streets were crowd
ed but witnesses of the difficulty were
hard to find.
Witnesses it is said state tina. the
was done while Lansdown
was advancing upon Bradley with an
open knife. 1t is generally agreed
hat Bradley's plea will be that of self
lefense.
The shooting took place while the
parties were within few feet of each ]

Bradley was standing little to the
outh or down the hill from where
Iansdown was standing. The latter,

To Detect Counterfeit.

Here few simple rules that may
be followed TO detect counterfeit
money.
Examine the forms and features or
all human figures. II graceful and
features distinct. examine the drapery
Notice whether the folds lie naturally
and observe whether the fine strands
OF the hair are plain and distinct.
Examine the lettering. In genu-
inc bill il is absolutely perfect. There
has never been a counterfeit but what
there was some defect in the letter
ing.
Counterfeits rarely. il ever. get the
imprint of engraver's name perfect.
The shading in the background OF
the vignette and over and around the
letters forming the name Of the bank
OF a good bill is even and perfect on
counterfeit IL is uneven and imper-
feet
Never take a bill deficient in any
of these points.

When Women Travel.

II is now no novelty to see women
travelling alone. though not many years
ago few of thep- really took Iona
trips without escorts. The modern
business woman must make her trips
just the same as the business man
and there are certain rules of proceed
ure that she must adhere to-
One of the first things for woman
to do when she is going to make
trip OF any length is to see that her
baggage is fully attended to. This
will save much trouble in the long
run. Another thing that should o,
remembered is that Il does not pay to

none too good for the woman who is
travelling. Comfort and convenience
come first. and 1t makes little differ
ence what they costs The parior ca

the extra charge. The berth. psrloE
