cause loss of blood had robbed him of
his strength
Shooting Not Witnessed
Although there were nearly a score
of persons in the Walker home at the
time of the shooting, no one actually
witnessed the gun play, according to
police Mrs. Ray Walker, who told
the police that she had prevented Har-
Monday night, said she had seen Harris
fire the second shot as he disappeared
through the kitchen door, but did not
know whether the bullet had struck the
woman. She heard two shots, she said,
and then Florian Carter came running
to her with cries that she had been shot
by Mosquito" After Harris left the
house, three more shots were fired, ac-
cording to Mrs. Walkers story, but
she did not know whether Harris had
turned the gun on himself or had fired
to frighten away pursuers.
Threatened Her Monday Night
"Florian and Mosquito have been
close friends for several years" Mrs.
Walker said "and several days ago she
decided that it would be best to end
the friendship Florian has just re-
turned from visit to her home in
Missouri and when she arrived Harris
told her that he wished that she had
never come back and urged her to leave
town. Harris came to my home Mon
day night and threatened to assault
her, but / interefered. He offered me
all the money he had if / would per-
nit him to strike her just once.
Thinks No Warning Given
my husband told me just prior to
the shooting that Harris had revolv
er with him. but Harris never admit
ted to anyone that he intended to use
it. In fact, he had promised me that
he would never harm Florian. Fear
ing that trouble was brewing, | never
left Florian until few minutes before
the shooting, when / went into another
room. Harris then called her into the
kitchen and in a few minutes / heard
the shots j did not hear any argu-
ment pass between the two and l am
convinced that he shot her without even
warning
Harris wound is not serious and
police look for his release from the
hospital within a few days. In the
meantime, he will be closely guarded.

WANTSPAYMENT
. ON BOND GIVEN
IN GRAIN CASE
Former Sheriff Sues Sureties
in Action Involving E. j.
Ball Judgment.

Action to recover 1,5OO. the amount
of an indemnity bond alleged to have
been given j. L. Burns, former sheriff
of Cascade county, to protect him from
any loss as the result of his action in
seizing a quantity of grain under writ
Of execution, was filed in district court
Tuesday by Burns against Edith NJ
Noren, John S. Noren, James Is. Reyn-
olds and III. NJ Yaw. The defendants
are alleged sureties of the bond.
Sheriff Held Grain
The complaint reads that Edith N
Noren secured judgment against p. )
Ball for $56640 and Sheriff Burns
was authorized to seize 1,75O bushels
of grain to satisfy the judgment. After
the grain had been taken, Robert Craig
Winifred Rutter and Roy Rutter filed
a third party claim against the grain,
which was ignored by the former sher-
iff after, it is alleged, the defendants
furnished him with the indemnity bond
to protect him from any loss as con-
sequence of the refusal to deliver the
grain.
Claims Was Not Protected
Craig then filed an action against
Burns and Edith Noren, according to
the complaint, and was given judgment
in district court, on February IL, 1871
for $3.50. Burns alleges that no part
Of the bond has been paid and that the
defendants have not protected him as
guaranteed when they consented to act
as sureties. He asks for the amount
of the bond and costs.
Second Suit Filed
Another action, containing the same
allegations as the first, was also filed
in court by Burns. In this complaint,
Fred H. Sturm is added to the list of
defendants named in the first action.
Judgment for $1,000 and costs is de-
manded in the second suit.

Misconception About TitIe.

There is no such office as "chief jus
tice of the United States Supreme
court" The proper title for the man
who presides OVER the higher court
in the United States-is chief justice
of the United States" The Constitu-
ton of the United States does not
mention the chief Justice, although ne
is the head of coordinate Drancl
Of the government. Article III of the
Constitution, which establishes the 1u-
dicial department of government, pro-
yides that 1.-THE judicial power of the
United states shall be vested in one
Supreme court. and in such inferior
courts as the congress may from time
TO time ordain and establish" but It
does not mention the chief justice.
Under this clause of the Constitution
congress has assumed the power TO
declare how many Supreme court JUS
tees there shall be.
