the killing of Jones. All of them were subject to the most rigid cross exam ination, but none of them were con- fused, and none of them deviated ma terially from the story told in direct examination.
 L. F. Keist was put on the stand at the opening of court this morning. Ac- cording to the testimony of MT. Keist, he was probably the first person at Treadwell to whom Jones spoke on the morning of the tragedy, prior to the killing Keist found Jones on the steps behind the butcher shop about nine o'clock that morning, and Jones asked him if Macdonald was up. Keist replied that he did not know.
 An hour later, immediately before the shooting, Keist was at the front door of the butcher shop, and saw Jones and Macdonald talking. Jones was gesticulating with a little stick which he had been whittling while he waited for Macdonald. The two men were some little distance apart. Keist, in cross examination, was asked why that stick had made so much impress it all these year, and Keist answered that he thought Jones was pretty sassy" to be talking to Macdonald and shaking a stick at the same time. Just before the shooting, his attention had been attracted by something in the shop, so that he was not looking when the shots were fired. Looking again, after the firing of the shots, he saw Jones waiving his hands in the air Except for the stick, which he still held, his hands were empty. Jones then staggeder away toward the hydrant, where he first sat, and then lay down.
 As MacDonlad walked by, Keist says he accosted him with:
 What the hell's going on?"
 Tn reply, Keist testified that Mac Donald murmured: "The s- of -" and passed on.
 Mir. Keist was followed on the stand by c. F. Thompson, who was al so employed in the butcher shop at that time. He also testified to the re- mark which Mir Keist said that MT. Macdonald had made about Jones af- ter the killing MT. Thompson also testified that Keist had brought the stick Jones had had into the butcher shop. where it was kept until it was sent for. Thompson was asked if he knew who had sent for it, but the defense objected, and he was not all lowed to answer.
 A slight discrepancy occurred be- tween the testimony of MT. Thompson and Mr. Keist as to what Keist was doing at the time the first shot was fired. Thompson said his impression was that Keist was cutting meat at the block a few feet away, but he was not sure.
 The prosecution introduced the story of the killing of N. c. Jones by Joseph Macdonald yesterday after noon and today in the United States district court where Judge F. M Brown and twelve jurors are trying Mac Donald for his life. The story as told by the government witnesses is that outlined by District Attorney John Rustgard in his opening state ment to the jury.

Witnesses Tell How
 Macdonald Shot Jones

Keist was examined rigidly as to the epithet which he said Macdonald used. After many questions relating to it, Mir. Hellenthal asked:
 Now, Mir Keist. are you real sure that Mir. Macdonald said that?"
 Yes. Mir. Hellenthal," answered Mir. Keist. "and hen tell you the same thing if you ask him."
 Following the adjournment of the grand jury at Skagway. where Burns, the cigar maker, had been active in the investigations relating to the all legged crime. Burns was accused by two Slavonians of having threatened to take MacDonald's life Keist furn- ished the bond on which Burns was released The bond was produced in court this morning to show that Keist had a bad feeling towards MacDon- aid.
 Thompson was followed on the stand by Gus Roene, the Douglas isl and capitalist, whose German dialect kept the audience amused for a half hour He said that he was standing in the door of the machine shop when he heard the shots fired, and going over that way he met Mrs. Marks. who told him that MT. Macdonald had shot the marshal" On his way he passed Mir. Kinzie. who was the assistant superintendent, walking up and down in front of his house, act ing excitedly, and he thought that Mrs. Marks had made a mistake, and that it was not Macdonald but Kinzie who had done the shooting. Mac Donald, he said, was looking very cool and undisturbed
 Eye Witnesses Testify.
 Mrs. Anna Olson and Mrs. Hilda Marks, who claimed to have seen all or a part of the tragedy, were witness es last night.
 Mrs. Olson testified that she stood at a window in Assistant Superintend- ent R. A. KinZie's house while Mr. Kin zie and MT. Macdonald were talking at the gate. Mrs. KinZie sent her up stairs for her sewing, after which she hurried back to her position at the window. She testified that she got back before the shots were fired and that Jones was unarmed except for a stick. He waved the sick during the shooting, and that Macdonald and Jones were not grappling.
 After the shooting, she said Mac Donald walked toward the store. Some body at the butcher shop, she said, asked him if he had been shooting dogs, and Macdonald laughed.
 Mrs Marks testified that she had just come from the store and was in sight of Macdonald and Jones when the first shot was fired She stood still. They were close enough to touch each other but they did not touch. She said that Jones held his hands up, way ing the stick After the shooting, she said, Macdonald looked up at her then down at his revolver, and put the gun in his pocket. Jones staggered back to the hydrant and sat down slowly. and then laid down. The crowd came to see what the trouble was about and Mrs Marks says she ran home.

Revival Services.

Evangelistic services will be held
during the entire month of June, be-
ginning next Sunday at the Baptist
church and continuing two weeks, fol-
lowed by two weeks meeting at the
Methodist church, beginning the third
Sunday. While 1t Is not union meet
ing, yet 1t will be of mutual advantage
to both congregations to have the
meetings come in close connection as
was seen last year. Last year the
Methodists began and the Baptists
followed, this year the meetings will
be in reverse order.
DIR. A. S. Petite, Of Greensboro, will
aid in the Baptist meeting and DR.. =
will assist in the Methodist meeting.
DR.. Petite and Bro. Cottrell will at
tend the meeting Of the State Board Of
Missions on Monday night and Tuesday
OF next week, so that the first service
after the services Sunday will be on
Tuesday night, then there will be two
services day through the continue
tion of the meeting, at 8 o'clock and
7:45. AS the services were to continue
for a month, it was felt best not to be-
gin the public services until the evan
gelist came, SO the services of prayer
and song we're called in for this week.
BY a concentration Of effort, these
meetings ought to result in great good
for Cloverport, and each congregation
will get out of the meetings in results
just what they put in in effort.

ANDREW CRAWFORD,
OF Stephensport, An Old and
Highly Respected Citizen, Dies
Of Heart Failure May 20.

Stephensport, May 24.-(Special. y
On last Tuesday morning when the
news of Mr.. Andrew Crawford's sudden
death flew over the village, cry of
universal grief and sympathy seemed
to fill the place, for every one felt that
the best beloved and most honored citi-
zen had gone.
Though not native of the place he
had for fifty years thoroughly identified
himself with the people, and every one
has some story of kindness and wise
counsel received from him. He was
born in 1910, near Toronto, Canada,
and came to Stephensport in 1862, a
very young man. Shortly afterwards
he went to Louisville to be with his
step-brotber, the late James Clark, a
prominent tobacconist of that time.
After being with him year, and learn
ing every detail of the tobacco bust
ness, he returned to Stephensport to
enter into partnership with his brother,
the late James Crawford. For many
years the firm was widely known and
carried on an extensive business.
In 1865 he married Miss Alice Moor
man, of Stephensport, who survives
him. To her tneshearts of her friends
20 out in deepest sympathy, for all
knew of his perfect devotion and the
beautiful harmony of their married life.
Coming from sturdy Scotch stock,
with the blood of the Covenanters in
his veins, he was brought up in the
rigid faith of the Presbyterian church,
but later became a most devout men,
Der of the Baptist church in Stephens
port. He was also a most staunch and
loyal member of the Masonic order, and
it is said of him that he had never
missed meeting of the lodge when at
home.
After the service at the church the
beautiful burial service of the order |
was read at the grave. The large con-
course of friends gathered at the
church and the many and most ex-
luisite flowers laid upon his grave all
testified to the loving esteem in which
he was held.
A gentleman and a scholar; man
who daily walked with God-when shall
we see his like again2
