sion Of Shooting of Inman
" Over Land Deal. !.
Herald Special Service

Dickinson, N. D., Dec. 27.-With
the resumdng Of court sessions after
the holiday recess in Stark county
district court here Tuesday, David
McCutchan accused Of the murder Of
Walter 1nman, Of Amidon. again took
the stand in his own defense. The
morning session vas a brief one,
lasting barely an hour and one half.
1t was devoted entirely to the cross
examination Of the witness by Attor-
ney W. G. Crawford, special prosecVt-
or.
Continuing from the point reached
when the court adjourned last Satur-
day, McCutchan in answer to ques-
tions put by Mr.. Crawford testi-
fled that, previous to the. trouble over
the Gillette fnrm which resulted in
the shooting, he and Inman had al
ways been on friendly terms and
that the families knew Zach other
well. A witness reiterated hts former
statement to the effect that as he
pulled a gun from a dresser drawer
HI told 1nman to stay away, declar-
ing that he heard Inman say to those
about him that he would quit before
he would take hold of the gun. He
went on to say that he took the gun
= "a "a avn AAo
and that as he did SO Erickson made
a dash for. him. He admitted that
lnman was not facing him when he
drew the revolver from the drawer.
He also admitted that he heard his
wife scream they. have got a gum
Witnesses for the state declared that
Mrs. McCutchan screamed Dave has
got a gun" 1t is indicated. that this
statement will be mad a point by the
attorneys in summing up the case.
The witness continued answering
Attorney +. F. Murtha tor the de-
Tense. asked HIM II IT were not true
that Inman had seldom been seer
without glasses before the day of the
fight, witness said that he believed
that it was.
McCutchan further testified that
Leslie Austin had said before leaving
the place, II kind Of hate to go and
leave you alone" He said he asked
Austin II there was likely to be any
trouble and the latter replied mot
unless Inman comes down. The wit
ness said he believed that the five
men (Inman, Erickson, Hayes, Conk-
lin and Douglas) were acting Jointly
in. an effort to intimidate him and
drive him from the place. He claim
ed that his right arm vas numb for
some time following the trouble and
that for two weeks his flesh was ''.as
black as his Clothes" Mrs. McCutch-
an followed her husband upon the
stand and in both direct testimony
and cross examination corroborated
the statements made by her husband.
A. c. slade, sheriff of Slope county,
was the next witness scheduled by
the defense and as he had not arrived
from Amidon. court was adjourned
for the day at 3 p. m. Although the
defense has not i~ntimidated as to. the
number of witnesses 1t expects tn
call there is the probability hat It
will rest its case today. 4

BIDS HAD A VIDE
RANGE IN FIGURES

A wide range of figures character
lied the bidding for the privilege of
constructing the proposed bridge across
Rock Creek on the Beulah road. The
figures of the eight bids ran all the
way from $1,000 to $24.50o.
In their advertisement for bids the
commissioners stated that they would
specify truss bridge. but would con-
slider propositions for other plans and
materials, particularly steel and con-
crete.
In consequence of this latitude there
were various propositions presented,
but even on any one plan the bidders
figures were a considerable distance
apart.
Following were the bidding firms and
their figures:
Monarch Engineering Company.
sl7,500.
Arthur & Allen. s1o,SI5
II. NJ. Fox. sl4,95o.
Pueblo Bridge Company. $4,000.
G. s. Lambie Company. $4,000.
J. r. Donahue. $4,000.
Risley & Leslie, $4,000.
Anderson &, Hammil $40, 2a5.
\ peculiar feature OF the PROPOSE
tions, considering the fact the commits
sioncrs want the bridge completed by
May 80, was that some of them want
until the first OF September to COM
plete the work. The length of the
bridge VIII be $50 feet.
