Examination of Witnesses in Progress
At the resuming of court Fuiday
afternoon the examination of testimony
for the State began. After the witnesses
~were sworn the defense requested the
court to have the importact -witnesees
separated to prevent one hearing ~what
the other testified to.
The first witness the State introduced
was Willis Crandall, a brother ef David
Crandall, deceased, who testified ~as
follows :
On Christmas morning all of us
started rabbit hunting. Keel proposed
wrestle with Butler, and Butler object-
ed. Keel ran into Butler anyhow, and
Butler threw him. Keel took out his
knife end commenced cutting at Butler,
{put krife back in his pocket and struck
Butler across back with gun. Keel
then shot at Butler but Butler knocked
the gun up so it was discharged in the
air. Keel then snatched a gun out ot
David CrandallTs hands and said oG-d
d"n you, ITll kill yoa too,� and shot
him. Keel was standing about three
steps from Crandall when he shot him

THREE BUILDINGS BURNED.
Fire Bugs.Destroy the Dancy Corner
arid Give the Town a Close Call"
Engine Failed to Work.
The new fire bell had an opportunity
Friday night of sounding its first alarm.
{t was about a quarter past 11 oclock
whea the rapid clanging of the tell
aroused our people and told them there
was fire, and soon had them hurrying
out to the street.
The fire was in the confecion store of
Morris Meyer and burning rapidly
when the ciowd arrived. The fire
eugine was promptly at the cistern and
a jjne of nose run out, but owing to
some trouble in the engine it would not
work and could not throw water. Sev-
eral efforts were made to fix the eugine
and get it to work but without avail:
All this time the fire was gaining
rapidly and it was apparent that the
building could not be saved.
' Realizing that something must be
done to prevent a general conflagration |
the people and the hook and ladder
company set to work with a wili and
did heroie service. Fortunately there
was plenty of water in the water cistern,
but there was difficulty in getting it out
until a pump was put in.
From Morris MeyerTs store the firé
went to the old Dancey building and vo

totally destroying these. Everything in
Meyer's stu.e was lost, vut Hooker &
Co. saved most of their goods. Meyer
hid $900 on building and stock, but
Hooker had no insurance on either.
The large double stores of J. B.
Cherry & Co. across the street was
badly damaged. The intense heat

Brown & HookerTs s.9re next to
MeyerTs was also damaged and their
stock sufferea some. H, M. Hardee
and W. H. Cox also sustained some
damage in moving stuck. J. A. BradyTs

the fire wag damaged some. At this
writing a correct es~imat2 of losses can"
not be given.
It took go.d work to keep

buildings between the stores of W.H,
Cox and J. S. Tunstall caught several

There is hardly a doubt that the fire
was of mecendiary crigin. Several at-
temps were wide during the last year
to burn this jvoperty aud thir time
when Night Watchman Daniel went to

tied up out of reach.
The town had a close call for a dis-

visited us in Feburary of last year. Of

dacity, Not only was the McKinley |?

béfore .an opportunity had been given
members to go through even the farce
of offering amendments to have them
overruled by the chair, instéad of being
voted down by the members, to more
than about one-sixth of. ~the entire bill.
but an amendment was forced down the
throats of the republican mémbers
which 1s generally coaceded to be
unconstitutional, -and to be in direct
conflict with a deeision handed down by
the U. §. Supreme court since the
Wilson tariff bill became a law = This
amendment makés the duties which will
finally be imposed by the bill go into
effect April 1, although no one expects
the pill to become a law for at leasc
three months, aud no ove has any means

mony I gave before Coroner, had not got
over my excitement from the killing, I
am no relation to Crandall. I was im.
dicted about fifteen years ago for inde-
cent exposure of person on public.road.
and convicted. Was whipped about it
previously. Ihave not told any one
that Keel shot Urandall aceidentally.
Dr. E. A. MoyemI was special
| coroner to hold inquest over the body
of David Crandall. Found wound. on
right breast about size of a dollar.
Shot had not scattered, gun must
have been held at righs angle with
body and the load entered horizontally.
The wound was sufficient to cause
death.
Cross examination"a gun within a
foot ot body will not produce as deep a
wound as if further off. I think in this
off. William Crandall testified before
me that Keel shot Crandall with KeelTs
gun. Warren testified that Keel
snatched CrandallTs gun and shot Uran-
dall with it.

L. Butler this morning. He is sick in
bed, bad off, and is not able to attend
this trial,
J. A. Lang"[ am the Justice of
the Peace who tried this case at pre-
liminary hearing. (Testimony given
by Butler was shown and identified,
and was read as evidence. The sub-
stance of this testrmony was that as
they were going along Keel proposed to
wrestle with Bu:ler. Buthe declined,
telling Keel he (Keel) would get mad.
Keel took hold of Butler and Butler
threw him. Keel was mad when he got
up and commenced cutting at Butler,
then got gun and fired at him. Butler
knocked gun up. Keel then snatched
gun from David- Crandall and = shot

Here the State rested and court ad"
journed to Saturday A. M.
When court met this morning coun-
sel for the defense were no -y y to
proceed with their testi 1ony and
Judge Robinson ordered a recess of an
hour to allow them time for further
consultation. At 10 oTclock the tria!
was resumed.
The defense first put on Stanley
Warren, who had been introduced for
the State. Witness said he had not
told J. R. Mobley and others that the
killing was purely accidental.
