THE Stages CASE
cohTRADicTS WILL DAVIS AND
SAYS he NEVER MADE ANY
THREATS.
SAYS NEVER STRUCK BEN DAVIS
Trouble That Resulted in the XIII.
ING Came Up Over the Alleged Re.
fusal Of Deceased to Return Him
Change.

In his story of the killing of Tom
Mcdonald, the defendant Lon Stages
told of the events without any hesita.
t1on, and rccounted the fight between
Mcdonald and Ben Davis in detail in
the early part of the evening. He
told of trouble between himself and
Mcdonald year prior to the killing
and then recited his movements dur
ing the night of the killing.
His statement was that he was en-
gagged as clerk at the restaurant of
Fred Hood at the depot, and that he
left the restaurant on the night OF
the tragedy about S:45 o'clock, walk
ling leisurely to McDonald's place OF
business on South Main street, and
when he arrived Mcdonald, Claude
Craig and Ben Davis were there. A
little later Davis and Mcdonald got
into fgh. over the disappearance
OF dollar while they were settling
up. That in the fight Davis got Nc
Donald down and struck him in the
back of the head with an ice pick.
Craig separated the combatants and
they went to the back room and
changed shirts and washed, both be-
ing bloody, to remove any evidence
of the trouble should the police come
in The police did come in later but
no arrests were made. All made
friends, the drinks were called for
and after that Ben Davis went to
sleep behind the cigar stand, and
Craig went home. Stages then told
that the former trouble between him
self and Mcdonald came up over a
game Of pool, they being engaged in
playing at $500 per game He had
won two games, the money was in
one of the pockets of the table and
Mcdonald broke cue over his head
when he went to get it out.
On the night of the killing the
trouble arose over the refusal OF the
dead man to return $4.70 in change
after he had bought the drinks for
himself and Mcdonald. He, the de-
fendant, said he asked for the change
two or three times; that deceased
stated that there was none coming;
when a man bought drinks there he
got no change; that he, Mcdonald.
was going to Nashville and needed
the money. Defendant then told

change will be beneficial to the state.
There certainly have been too many
newspapers in Denver and the elm

The chief benefit will come. how
ever. from the elimination OF the old

That was a most unusual thing that
happened in Denver last week. when
John C. shaffer OF Chicago bought
three of the leading Denver newspa-

The announcement was made a
few days ago that Mr.. shaffer had

tuesday night from Pueblo. whers
they had been In attendance At the

running into three or four inches Of
snow between Turkey creek and Bea-
yer creek on the return trip. The
snow was drifted In the road in places
TO such n depth as to make travel a
difficult proceeding. They concluded
on entering the snow belt that there
had been a similar storm in the Canon
City district and that the Zig was
up so far a. the Wild west show and

concerned. They were surprised and
