cue work which is superintended
by Mrs. Stillwell amounted to

The aim has been always to
assure the public that if a speak
er is commended by us either
from public platform or to oc-
cupy that of our church then all
soon learn that a first class speak
er will appear. Every month or
two we turn down applications
Of lecturers, evangelists and 9TH

not measure up to the standard
required.
All visitors seem ready to

A Statement

Some criticism has been made,
chiefly by persons who knew lit
tie or nothing OF what had been
done and was being done, in the
Allen case.
In order to correct misleading
reports | desire to say that Mr..
Allen was arrested Monday eve-
ming, before the conclusion of the
Coroner's inquiry, and while it
was in progress, and renamed
in the custody of the Sheriff un-
til he was released on bond,
Tuesday afternoon.
In regard to his bond, the pro-
vision of the statute is as follows:
persons charged with the
crime of murder in the first de-
gree shall not be admitted to bail
whan the proof is evident or the
presumption great; but for all
other offenses bail may be taken
in such sum as in the opinion of
the magistrate will secure the
appearance of the person charg-
ed with the offense at the court
where such person is 10 be
tried"
Under our statute persons
charged with any crime other
than first degree murder must
be admitted to bail. The verdict
of the Coroner's jury, upon
which the warrant was based
does not charge murder in the
first degree, hence the defendant
is entitled to bail in such sum as
the magistrate deems sufficient
to secure his attendance for
trial. This bail was fixed al
Two thousand dollars which is
not less than the usual bail re
quired in like cases. Attbe term
ination of the preliminary, should
the defendant be held for trial
the degree OF the crime charged
will be determined, and bail fix
ed, or denied, accordingly.
In the meantime would it not
be better for good citizens to re-
frain from passing Judgment up
on the officers until they are al
least in possession of the facts!
Respectfully,
Frank S. Sullivan,
County Attorney.

SHOUSE VISITS
MEADE co.
Visits Plains and Fowler And
Made'Interesting Address
At Meade

Jouett Shouse, of Kiusley, the
Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from the Seventh Dis
trict, accompanied by Mrs.
Shouse, spent Tuesday in Meade
county, visiting Plains and Fow-
ler in the morning and afternoon
and in the evening addressed an
audience at the opera house in
Meade. The threatening wealth
er and an insufficient amount of
advertising are responsible for
larger audience not being pres.
ent, nevertheless those who
were present beard some facts
which cannot but gain favor for
the Democratic party in the
mind of any intelligent voter,
Mr.. Shouse commenced his
address by pointing out some of
the things which have been ac-
complished by our Democratic
State administration, and which,
due to the fact that the Democ-
ratio party has no daily of State
wide circulation, has been geatly
misrepresented by the opposition
press, and more especially by
the Capper publications. Among
other things he pointed out that
of the fifteen promises made by
the Democratic party, thirteen
bad already been fulfilled, fur
ther more that the running ex-
penses of the state had been re-
duced; that more money had
been appropriated to the cause
of education than ever before;
that the State tax levy had not
been increased, and numerous
other achievement of the party
in this state under Governor
Hodges, and of whom Mr..
Sbouse spoke most highly. In
conclusion he paid high tribute
to President Wilson and his
most excellent ad administration.
Mr.. Shousc has been out for
the last five weeks and now has
the district pretty well covered.
He has made a favorable I'M
preston, and seems to be deter
mined to do his full duty as he
sees it, if elected to the import
ant Office he is seeking.

ALLEN FIRES
FATAL SHOT
Alfred Tucker Of Ruston,
Louisiana Is The Victim
Allen Under Arrest

Not in many years has the en-
tire community been so thor
aroused as it was last
Monday evening when at about
six o'clock news reached Meade
that George Allen had killed
man east of town.
Since the shooting, many diff
ferent stories have been circulat
ed regarding the affair, so with
no intention of either expressing
an opinion, or of moulding the
opinion of the puclic; but rather
in Justice to all concerned, we
pu blish the following facts which
have been taken from evidence
thus far given:
Alfred Tucker, the dead man,
for merly worked at the Allen
ranch, two miles northeast of
Meade. Early in the Spring
Allen came to Meade and to the
proper authorities stated that
for relations which existed be-
tween Tucker and his daughter,
Tena, he, (Allen, wanted Tuck
er to leave the county on the
first train. When the Young
man was questioned he denied
the charge, but upon being as
sured that salary due him from
Alien would be paid HIM he left.
He did not return to the coun
ty.until last Monday, when as
sisted by another young man, he
drove a bunch of horses from
Englewood to Meade. Before
returning, it was his desire to
sec Tena, aGd in some manner
they met al the railroad bridge,
east of the city.
Conn Wasson was hauling feed
from east of Meade. He saw
the couple on the north side of
the bridge-Tucker and Tena
In the buggy in which Tena drove
to and from school, and fuckers
horse standing nearby-about
this he remarked to his brother,
Glen Wasson, on his return to
Meade. At this time George
Allen was cutting feed for Glen
Wasson; the field in which he
was working being north of the
cemetery. Shortly after Conn
Wasson's arrival with the load
of feed, Glen Wasson went on
some earand to the field where
Mr.. Allen was at work. In the
course of their conversation Mr..
Wasson told Mr.. Allen where
Mr.. Tucker and Tena were.
Mr.. Allen quit his work, got in
his buggy and drove off.
The next was learned when at
about $50 George Allen came to
Meade and to DR.. Fee and l..
stated that there was
man out by the railroad bridge
in jured, and that they had better
go and see how badly he was
hurt Upon arriving at the
place named, the body of Alfred
Tucker was found lying in the
creek bed, short distance
north of the bridge, his horse
was in fence corner, also on the
north side of the bridge, and his
hat was on the south side of the
bridge. The bullet entered the
body under the lett arm, passed
through the body, ranging slight
ly downward, coming out on the
right side of his body, lodging
in his clothing.
A Coroner's jury was at once
impannelled and taken to the
scene of the tragedy where the
body was examined and after
due deliberatlon returned this

Nearo Charged with Brutal Crime.

Sheriff E. c. Hanson yesterday
morning caused the arrest of Ephraim
Edwards, negro man. on the charge
of raping Beatrice Williams, little
colored girl twelve years old who
was criminally assaulted Wednesday
night at or near her home in Port
Barrow. The child was on her way
to church with her brother-in-law and
sister, and was sent back by the lat
ter to buy a nickel's worth of candy.
She tells a story to the effect that
after making the purchase and while
on her way back to church she was
attacked near her home by two
white boys, who dragged her into a
ditch and there assaulted her. She
declares that she does not know
either of her assailants, and as the
physical facts brought to light by the
sheriff's investigation do not corrob-
crate her story in the slightest de-
gree, the supposition is that she is
shielding the real perpetrator OF the
brutal deed Evidence has been ad-
duced to connect Edwards with the
crime, and the authorities are con-
yinced he is the guilty party. The
little girl was badly injured, but is
recovering from the effects of the
bestial treatment to which she was
subjected.
