Confirms Main Issue.

Schepps, as a witness for the people,
q witness whom no one had even &C
cused of being powerful enough in the
circle i'm which he moved to have been
taken in on the plans, confirmed yes
tcrday the vital point of the instiga-
ton of the murder. In his long and
frequent visits with Becker on the
days just after the murder Schepps
had been present on several occasions
when the police lieutenant had called
Rose on the telephone, and his story
Of the Becker end of those telephone
communications left no doubt in the
ficcr had driven the gambler TO the
point of arranging the murder.
Schepps was able TO repeat the
Becker end Of conversations over the
telephone. the Rose end of which they
had previously heard from Rose him
self and the putting together of the
simple puzzle led TO the inevitable con
Clusion that Becker had ordered and
nary TO the murder.
1t took Schepps almost two hours 10
go over in detail the story he told 10
the grand jury. and for all that time he
had their rigid attention. His manner
was not as impressive as that of Rose,
and because of the secondary impor-
lance of SChepps himself in the vicious
circle connecting police and gamblers
as compared with that of Rose his
descriptions did not carry the power
that made the story of Rose 10 che
same body Of men a climax in their
inquiry.
But the remarkably accurate COR
roboration of Rose by Schepps. even
though in some points from differ ent
angle. gave conviction TO his words in
the minds Of his hearers. This was
probably most noticeable in the way
in which the jurors took Schepps's story
Of the night on which Hart went TO
Rose in Pollok's house for the affidavit
desired by Becker.
Schepps. on that occasion, was in and
out of the room i'm which Hart talked
with Rose. lie was with Barter in an
adjoining room for time. Then again
he would be with Rose and Hart, and
finally all four men were together
when the affidavit was ready fol-
acknowledgment. Before that. from

Because Of the various motions which

not yet pleaded to the first indictment

terday by the Indictment against the
seven men accused OF completely in the
murder. He would appear to-day to
plead, but 1t is believed that the pleading
will be postponed. II viii be possible for
his counsel TO make the same motions
regarding the new Indictment that they
made regarding the first one.

DYING OF RABIES
Coyotes Infected and Many Of Them
Are Dying Away. :

Coyotes infected and Many Of Them
Are Dying Away. .
Sheldon.-That an epidemic Of ra,
bies is raging among the coyotes of
Helendale and Coburn townships is
the report brought in by farmers in
that vicinity. They state that n
number OF wolves have been found
dead on the prairie and others have
been seen acting strangely SINH
lar to the ann OF mas: dogs. The
origin of the epidemic of hydrophobia
dates back To last summer when sew
cral dogs became afflicted. The dis
ease WAS conveyed by them to stock in
that vicinity and several head have
died or been killed on account Of the
affliction. 1t is. thought that the roy
otes became i~noculated either through
being bitten by one of the mad dogs
or from eatin. the carcasses OF stock
that had been. affected with the dis.
case. II is feared that the stricken
coyotes will spread the disease still
further. and extra precautions arc be-.
ing taken by the farmers OF that Ia.
cality To guard their stock and dogs.
