Answering the question , the witness testi
fied that he bought the stone plugged to si/o
at 10 cents nml sold it to Dorgan at 1C ) cents
per cubic foot
\\lll Tillin it Itc'rom.
At the opening of the nftoinoon session
the court announced that at . " > o'clock to
morrow a ice ess would bo taken until 13
o'clock ne\t Monday.
Upon going back into the witness box , Mr.
Atwood testified that the dimension stone
for Doigan shipped fiom Cedar
Creek was billed out as rubble ,
thus Ba\Ing the contractor one-half
cent per 100 pounds Sonu of the rubble was
billed at 0 cents , and some of the footing
stone at Scents per 100 pounds.
A large quantity of the stone whidi wit
ness had sold to Doigan was bought fiom
other parlies In all such instances Atwood
got double what ho paid For instance ,
what stone ho bought lioui Cedar Cieek at
4 cents was sold to Dorg.tn ar 10 cents per 100
pounds , while dimension stone , plugged to
sire , was bought at 15 cents per 100
pounds actual weight and sold toUoigan.it
35 cents per cubic foot , liguring 100 pounds
to the foot Theie were fifty cars of dimen
sion and rubble stone bought and sold at
these pi Ices All of the way bills of the curs
were produced and identified
The Htate was well satisfied with the
testimony , tlio attorneys cl.ilmlng that it
, . proved conclusively that. o\cn if Doigan
was honest , ho was pajing twice as much as
the stone was woith In the m.ukct They
also claim that it established the fact that ,
the Board of Public Lands and Buildings
sat silently by and audited Dorgan's bills
without over attempting to learnwli.it vvrs
the maikot value of the matcilal.
llo inrtiiliily Hud One.
On cross-examination the witness testified
that when ho bought the stone at the low
prices and sold it on thuadvance , ho thought
that ho had struck a snap The stone , Mr.
Atwood declaied , ho bought at much less
than It was worth This was owing to the
fact that It was winter and the men worked
nt much lower wages than they would at
any other season of the j ear When witness
made the contract with Uorgan ho thought
ho was dealing with Mosher In a most
positive manner Atwood testified that
neither Doigan nor any of the respondents
received any benefits out of the stone deal
Upon rceiliect examination Mr Atwood
again raised bib prices and thought that the
dimension stone plugged to si/o was 40 cents
per cubic foot It also came out that At
wood pot Xook's stone at a low price , owing
to the fact that ho would open an opposition
quarry If the right llguies were not made
In order to get the stone fiom VanCouit
at a low price witness told him that ho could
get the stone from other parties at low
prices , when Van Court dropped and made
the same oflcr , which was accepted.
AVIiut Stone Should Cm I ,
K. D. Van Court of Omaha , the owner of
three quail us , tcstiiicd that tlio stone would
welch ISO pounds 10 the foot and was equal
in quality to the Cedar Creek stone. Ho
sold stone to Atwood at 4' < f cents per
100 pounds , whllo dimension stone , plugged
to size , was sold at 10 cents per foot
measured. At the time of the making
of the sale the fair maiket value of
the dimension stone was biought , as It was
winter and there was not mm h salt ) for any
kind of stone. That was the tegular price
loaded on the cars in Maj IS'.tl ' dimension
stone , plugged to sbo , was worth 15 cents
per cubic foot and rough rubble was worth
f.j cents per 100 pounds At Cedar Creek
rough rubble was woith ! IU cents per 100
pounds Witness had never heard of dimen
sion stone , plugged to si/o , having been sold
for moio than IS cents per cubic foot.
Then Mr Webster took up the cioss ex
amination and asked "Air. Van Court ,
what do you got for the stone which jou arc
placing in the foundation of the. new post-
ofllco at Omaha f"
"Thlrtj eight to 4S cents , but we did all of
the cutting , besides pajing the freight
Some of this stone is rough faced and ashlcr-
nnlshcd , which makes the prlco much
more "
"Did you not fin nlsh i > oii.o stone for the
foundation of TIIK BKF building' "
"No , sir" Continuing , Mr. Van Couit
testified that in May , Ib'.U , nibble stone at
Cedar Creek was woith U cents j > cr 100
pounds.
In redirect examination Mr. Van Court
explained the high prlco of the stone in the
Omaha postofllce Tlio stone used thoio not
only had to bo finished , but had to bn
dressed to a thickness of twul\oinches , with
a waste of six inches , each ono to lit a par
ticular place. Hosidcs this the freight , 3
conta per 100 pounds , was paid.

Upon the conclusion of Heir HIchter's at-

pt Iv I , who had listened c.ilmlj to the freisin-
nlgo leader's aiguments against the meas-
me , proceeded to the tribune and dehveied
a calm and unpassbnato replj to his

was absolutely essential to safeguaid the

adopt the pioposilof Pieiherer von ilueno ,
and would accept it as a plank in its elec

arbitration Mr Coudert analyzed Ihe Joint
report of the commissloncis appointed by
Gie.it Britain and the United States to
ascci tain Iho facts in relation lo seal-life in
Bei ing sea and the measures nceessaiy for
its protection and prevention. Mr Coudurt
uiged that the pelagic sealers , in killing a
gravid female , dcstiojed Ihree animals and
then frequently did not obtain ; i skin as the
result of ibis slaughter , tlio creature that
the sealers slew often slaking into the sea ,
thus escaping them
Mr Coudert pi acceded to prove that there
could bo no commingling of the seal herds of
Alaska with these of Asialic Hussla Fur-
rieis easilj distinguished the Alaskan from
the Hiissian skins and charged higher prices
for the Alaslian
Mr Coudeitiead aflldavits In support of
these assciliuns Ho onlai ed upon the
natural histor.v of the seal , roplvlng with ad-
mliablo ic.ulinebb to a sciies of qucslious acl-
chcsscd to him bj the mcmUeis of the

question bj Baton de Courcol , Mr Coudert
said that Copper island seals caught by the
pelaRlc sealers came to the market as hav
ing been rautrhl in Japan.
The British counsel exclaimed in chorus.
"That Is "
quite wrong !
Mr Coudcit answered ' -Wo have ample
proof that It is true Wo hav o proof also
that thrce-fourtlH of the total number of
sUins sold .110 these of males lie read evi
dence to suport | this statement
Hecnrimg to the question of the teniloiial
limits within which the seals were caught ,
Mr Coudert contradicted the statements of
a British sealing captain , to the effect that
the animals weio never found ten miles fiom
land , with the evidence of another British
witness , to the effect that ' 10 had found seals
at distances of between ten and 150 miles

' t'orhajis you aio rijjht , " replied the
rell iotis editor , as ho slowly sipped a
mint julep and blew the smoke of his
perfeeto into little bales around the b.ild
spot on his head. ' 'I have often found

rudely interrupted by the uroud , and

"In the winter of 1SSO-81 I was ap

and was all aiixietj to see border lifiin
its prNtino beauty and simplicity.
Natuially I felt \ery much elated at
having my desiio gratified , and the fact
that 1 was going to a part of the country
made famous by the notorious .lames
Inys , who woie at the time in the /enith
of their glory , did not lessen my pleas
ure. I arrived at my destination to find
much to my disappointment that
Princeton , to all outward appearances ,
dillerodverv Little from any quiet ,
piettydown oafet village , but a better
acquaintance , attained after a week'n
residence , convinced mo of a difference
so marked that I had serious doubts as
to tlio advisability of remaining. A predisposition -
disposition on ; the part of the
inhabitants t6 use a 'gun,1
both for ainuHcmont and argu
ment , cirised many unpleasant moments ,
and though I e-oajied being party to any
affairs whore this very handy \\cupon
came into plaj it did not add to the
peace of mind which good health and a
large appetite should bring. I always
had with mo the fear , that some dark
night a masked gqtuleman would pies-cut
hinibelf at the dqpot , as ho had done at
the stations above and below , and , bo-
foi'o I had time to pLcape , cover me with
his nix-shooter and request the contents
of the money drawer. How over , as the
days passed on and nothing transpired
further than an occasional dael between
natives , that sometimes resulted in a
funeral and sometimes did not , my fears
subsided , and I became so accustomed to
the simple , outspoken ways ot the people
ple that I oven carried a 'gun' and really
wont so far as to picture myself shoot
ing it at the masked highwayman.
"A rude awakening was in store for
mo. This peneefulness and serenity was
only the calm before a storm that broke
with all the iioicencss and suddenness of
a Kansas cyclone and destroyed , hope
lessly destroyed , all mv youthful yearn
ing for the unostentatious simplicity and
frankness of Missouri society. On the
evening of April 10 , 18S1 , I leportedat
the office at the usual hour of 7 p. m. It
was ono of those warm , close evenings
when wo uro almost anxious to retire
from the further responsibility of
an existence doubly burdened by
spring fever and the vicious
attacks of mosquitoes and gnats.
Heaching the depot I found the usual
relay of hangers-on , smoking , chewing
and discussing the latest 'set up' which
sent 'Long Jim' Pike to join the silent
majority , and St. Joe Bill to an impro
vised hospital in the back room of the
Golden Sun saloon , with his carcass full
of knife wounds. The weather , however -
over , was ovidentlj not encouraging for
discussions that required an effort , and
this ono grow lifeless and uninteroiting
till ono by ono my companions dropped
out and 1 was loft alone.
"Tho night passed slowly , its quiet
disturbed only by the singing of the
mosquitoes ; tlio humming of myriads of
bugs and tlio arris al of an occasional
freight tiain that came in out of the
Kgyptian darkness like some huge
dragon , pulling and snorting and shriek
ing as if looking for something to de
vour , then passed with a rumble and
roar of anger at its defeat and disap
peared into the blackness from whence
it came.
"At half-past 3 in the morning a
through passenger train was due from
the north , and its arrival was the ono
pleasant relief from the monotony of the
long hours , for there was always more
or less of excitement in the hurry and
bustle of the coming and going of nas-
songers. About an hour before tiain
time , the arrival of Which I was already
anticipating , there entered into the ono
waiting room of theiklopot a man about
medium height , drfcsscd in tlio rough
fashion of the country and wearing a
slouch hat that well shaded his face and
left ono to gue s aMho character of the
wearer. 'Ticket to Cameron' was all IIP
said , as ho stopped to the w inflow and
locoiving his piece qf cardboard retired
to a dark corner oi the room , whore he
sat down. , ,
"I might have pu&hi little more atten
tion to his appoarnriiio had ho not been
nhortly followed , Hunt by a party of six
or seven rather limtt looking customers ,
who were o\identH"mulor the influence
of 'Missouri lightning , ' and a moment
later by three or Joup ladles with escorts.
It took but a few moments to supply the
required tickets , and I stopped outsldo
of the office to pay my respects to ono
of the ladies whom f know. I had
hardly reached her side when one of tlio
gang of roughs commenced using lan
guage that was more oxprcssho than
elegant , and I had no other recourse butte
to go ever and remonstrate with him.
Somehow , as I stopped across the room ,
the feeling came ever mo that I wan to
have trouble , and a little tremor of fear
passed up and down the Beams of mj
waistcoat.
"How eor , I kept bravely on , and in
a gentle and gentlemanly way reminded
him of the fact that there were ladies
present * and it was necessary for him to
modify Ills language. Ills friends sided
with me , and attempted to keep him
quiet , but without avail , and they finally
arose and went out ou the platform , ex
pecting , of cour.so , that ho would follow
with drunken perverseness , however ,
ho remained , and his talk growing more
and more vulgar , I forgot my fear , be
came mad , and walking OUT to Ihu
tough sel/.cd him by the collar , and
before ho hud time to offer unv resis
tance had thrown him out of the door
and on to tin- platform , where I left him
in the hands of his friends.
"Returning to the waiting room some
what 'Mustered' and out of breath I
walked ever to the ticket window and ,
leaning on the shelf outside , endeavored
to compose myself. This I had hardly
accomplished when glancing toward the
door I aw what caused overj particular
hair of my head to stand on end and
drove the blood from my heart in one
tremendous beat , leaving mo utterly
powerless for the moment to either move
or speak. I was unarmed , w ith not oVen
a weapon in reach , and there stood the
man whom but n moment before 1 had
thrown out rciulj to shoot.
"Were jou over under lire ; " Do you
know what it is to stare death in the
face and reall/.o that w ithiu the uo\t second
end a bullet will go plowing through
jour body and but the tick of a watch
separates you from eternity' : ' In a mo
ment 1 thought of every incident in my
life , and closed my i-yc's in receive the
leaden messenger that would send me ,
fearfully unpiepaied. Into the great un
known. Almost Instaiith two shots rang
out. sounding like the reports of cannon
in that small room. I felt a sharp
twinge in my right knee , and then all
the annual in my nature was aroused ,
and 1 thirsted for blood. Wo al-
wajs kept a levoher In the money
drawer , and with a quick lunge
tinough the ticket window 1 reached it
and turned to kill , if possible , the man
who had fired at me. I was too late , lie
laj on the floorclutching at his bieast.
from which the blond was flowing inn
crimson stream. His revolver lay beside -
side him. Over in the corner sat the
man with the slouch hat , revolver in
hand , but not moving a mtisclo or giving
a sign.
"I saw all this at a glance , and as
quickly I guessed the meaning of the
two shots V had heard. Tor perhaps fif
teen seconds not a sound disturbed the
aw fill silence except the groaning of the
man on the floor , then all was excite
ment and confusion.
' The friends of the apparently dying
man rushed in , and seeing mo standing
with a revolver in my hand reached
for theirs to avenge their companion.
At the first movement a quick , sharp
voice rang out from under the slouch
hat in the corner in no undecided tones.
1 Tlio man that "pulls" is a dead man. '
and the words were emphasi/.ed with
the click of the two guns that covered
tile pin ty. No ono 'pulled , ' but they
looked sullenly at the man who had
dared singlehanded to call them down ,
"In the meantime I had reali/ed that
it meant life or death to me , and with
my revolver also covering the men who
nought mj lifo I prepaid ! to sell it as
dearly as possible. Suddenlj' one of the
wounded man's friends took' half step
forward and stared more closely at the
stranger. Only for a moment did the
scrutiny last , when as suddenly stop
ping back ho exclaimed in awe , 'Jesse
James , by G d ! ' It was enough. That
name carried with it a power to subuuo
fiercer , more blood thirsty am ! braver
men than those in ft out of me.
"C'aivfullj' thoj' picked up the
wounded man , and as thov-carried him
out , again that voice was heard , and
this time it mid : 'The man that harms
that lad will answer to me. '
"A few minutes later the train for
which wo had been waiting came rum
bling into the station , and the famous
outlaw , whoso quick oj'o , ready hand
and manlj * HOUSO of fairness had saved
my life , bad departed.
"My wound was only a slight one ,
and the man who hud attempted to kill
mo finally recovered. Two daj's later a
"
train was robbed on the same" railroad
only a few hours ride from Princeton , at
the little hamlet of Winston. Two men
lost their lives because thoj' resisted ,
and jot I somehow find a very tender
spot in my heart when I think of Jesse
James. "
