Ell Paso, Texas, July ,12.-Pre-
liminary hearing of Fireman
Charles F. Robinson, held in con-
nection with the mysterious death
Of william H. Bohlman and the
explosion of the boiler of a South
ern Pacific locomotive last Friday
morning. was concluded yesterday
at Marta. Robinson was held I'M
der $1,000 bond to await the action
of the grand jury. Bond was fur
nished. .....
Following the hearing Earl Stir
man, brakeman on the train, and
who told of tail. dark stranger
fleeing from the train. a, few sec
onds before the explosion. was
taken into custody at Alpine by
Texas rangers and held for. inves-
tigatiop.
Physician Tcstifics.
One of the physicians who e2-
ahmed tho body of the dead IN
ginser after it had been washed at
the UNDER king establishment a.
Maria, said there was no pha steal
evidence to prove whether tie
wound through The head was raused
by bullet or some other small
smooth instrument travelling at q
great sIeed Witness was positive
the wound was inflicted while Bohl-
man was alive, and he was equally
positive the engineer was dead
when his head was crushed against
ne rocks where his body was found
fter the explosion. These latter
wounds, received after death, wit
.ess said, made 1t scientifically I'M
pcssibie to determine the nature
Of tie !nst' ument causing the small
'ciIculas wound which entered the
head under the right ear and came
out on the other side about four
inches above the ear.
Case Is Circumstantial.
County Attorney J. C. Fuller,
who conducted the case for the
'tate, admitted the states case is
entirely dlfcumstantial and that
thus far no possible motive for the
crime has been found. The state,
the county attorney said relies
principally on expert testimony that
Bohlman was killed before the ex-
plosion and also testimony that ap-
pears to indicate discrepancies in
Robinson's statement as to how
he. got off the train.
Physicians estimate the engineer
must have been dead at least
twenty minutes before the explosion
occurred, 'or sufficiently long for
the blood coagulate. -.
Stories Differ.
Justice Yates, who presided at
the inquest, testified Robinson told
him first that somebody knocked
him from the engine and later that
he was rolling cigarette and lost
. consciousness in a manner he knew
not how.
This the coroner testified the
fireman said, occurred three or
four miles east of the scene OF
the explosion, which,' at the speed
the train was travelling, would put
him off the engine mot more than
twelve minutes before Robinson's
body was hurled. through the cab
window.
Officers took Robinson to the
place where he said he had fallen
off the train. They were una BILE
to find any marks of a falling
body.
A jitney driver, described only
as John" who responded to Rob
inson's request for a ride toward
the train after the tragedy, accom-
panied Officers to the place where
he said he picked up the fireman.
This. 1t was testified. was a half
mile further back than the place
where Robinson said he fell.

NILES and Lee SELL
PHOTO STUDIO LOCATES

Three changes have been made IN
the business concerns of the city dur
ing the past week. George Lee, for
two years proprietor OF the Battery
Supply sold his business to C. w. Ice,
of Miller, this state, who in turn dis
posed Of it on Saturday to K. d Mon
roe. The rear rooms Of the second
floor of the Post Office building have
been leased to c. L. Vcss, who will
establish an up-to-date Photographic
studio. The Niles building was sold
to Ed. Engle, who plans in the course
Of few years to erect a mouern
building for his clothing business.
The new photo gallery will be in
charge of A. M. Rudberg, an exper-
fenced man. Extensive alterations
are being made, partitions being re-
moved to make more room and sky
light built. A complete new outfit
is to be installed and the proprietors
assure Milbank and surrounding terri
tory high class gallery.
Mr.. Voss left for Morris Thursday
afternoon after spending several days
looking over the city. He now oper-
ates studios at Morris, Benson and
GlenWood, so the installation of an
other studio here will be nothing new
to him.
George Lee will leave for Water
town where he expects to 90 in busi-
ness. During the two years he has
been here he has worked up suc-.
cessful business. As baseball play
er, George distinguished himself and
Milbank will lose a good man. Mr..
Munroe, who has taken charge of the
business. has been interested in the
Starr Battery company, which inter
est ne retains. They plan to combine
the two businesses in the future at
which time the Milbank tire service
which is owned by Joe Neuman, win
also be moved to the present location
OF the Milbank Battery station. The
building which the Starr company
was to erect this summer will NOT be
built, due to the change in plans.
Mr.. Engle stated that he had =.
definite plans at this time regardink !
new building, but would erect one With
in a few years. The present struc-
ture is one of the oldest buildings in
the city, and due to this fact stands
further out than the other build
ings, and has been an eye sore to
many people for years. Whether or
not Mr.. Engel will wreck the build
ing now, was not stated.

INVESTIGATION EXPLANATION

Statement To Whom 1t May Concern:
At the request of Mayor Nelson,
the undersigned wish to make the
with tine tuneral Of Private Joe Busk-
er: We have carefully investigated

ing is lre ANT CorrsccL. and we make
this >,aEemea. because there were
certain ,u.nors vilic!, have been large
~ circulated IN and arourd Milbank n
'egard the same, .ch rum. )
were mostly false in all things.
Rev. F. Wessler of the Emanuel
Lutheran church made a conditional
refusal to perform the religious cere-
monies and did suggest that the fun
eral be strictly military funeral di-
rect to the cemetery; that said condi-
tional refusal was made solely for
religious reasons, and not because the
American Legion would take part in
the ceremonies; or not because of
Joe Eusker being a soldier in our late
war.
Further, Rev. Wessler says he is
ready and willing at any time to con-
duct the funeral at his church of any
soldier of the World War, provided,
said soldier is in good standing in said
church according to the long estab-
lished rules and principles of said
church; the same as he conducted the
two soldier funerals of Mr.. DornbuScf,
and Mr.. Montiel, at which funerals
the soldiers participated and the Anne,
lean flag was properly displayed ac-
cording to the usual custom.
We trust this statement of the
facts will stop the spreading Of rum
ors, which are incorrect, and we be-
lieve that if situation like this
comes up agair, the said church will
handle same to the satisfaction of all
our citizens.
