( Special Tele gram. ) The cloud of guilt seems to be set tling around Kenneth McKea , the wealthy sheep owner. Sheriff H. L. Patton and Hon. Ed Notou have Just returned from the place where Robert Goidou was killed , on Wai- lace creek , about llvo miles east of Krvaj and seventy-live miles north and east of Casper. Immediately upon their return a warrant wau sworn out for Mcltea , and hit was arrested , and Is now in the county jail , a prisoner , charged with the crime of killing Itobert Gordon. Mcltea Is one of the wealthiest sheep men In this section of the county , and has , heretofore bore an excellent reputation. From the officials Interested In the prose cution of thu case , the following U whut the atatu buscH Us case upon , which jour reporter is given to understand , will bu the evidence of the man , Petu , who was ntli'ej ) under the supply wagon , siiuatt'4 ' nhout thirty Ject irom the Dtietptacoii , where Mcllea bit-pi : Some tlmu last Sunday nicrn- Ing , between C and C o'clock , Pete heard Melton und Gordon having some world about some whlsKy , which Mcltea had sent Gordon after Saturday night. After quarreling at oino length , Uoruun camu out of the Klut'p wagon and went away. Pete says that during this tluiu he went lu asleep attain , and pretty s-ion McRca came and eald : "G U d n him , I have had about enough of him. I will kill the . "After Bwcariug around a little while ho went back Into the wagon , " saju Pete , "and J went to sleep again nnd between C and 7 o'clock I was again awakened by 'McRca * nd Gordon quarreling In the wagon , and juut a 1 got good and awake Gordon came out of the wagon and said , 'I am shot ; I am hot , ' and advancing to where I nus sleep- A GREAT For .Sufferer * from IMIen. Dr. Redmond , a specialist in the study nd treatment of Piles and rectal diseases , recently elated that the Pyramid Pile Cure , tbo new discovery for the cure of piles , was the most remarkable remedy ho hid ever eeen or tried In one respect ; and that was , the lustaut relief experienced in all cases , no matter how severe , from the moment the remedy wa applied ; thU was the more sur prising to him , because he had carefully analyzed the preparation and no trace of opium , cocaine or similar poison could be detected. Physicians look with great favor upon the Pyramid Pile Cure , because it Is rapidly taking the place of surgical operations and berauso U la po simple , so easily applied and contains no mineral or other poisons so com monly used In pile cures. Dr. Etterbrook reports that the Pyramid Tile Cure not only cuuu the various forma of piles , but never falls to give Immediate relief on the first application , no matter how evert the pain or dlacomfort may be. People who have suffered from plies for yearn ara often astonished at the Inatant re lief experienced from the first application. Another Important advantage is the fact that any one can use the remedy without deten tion from business or Interference with daily occupation. Sold by druggists at 50 ccuU per package. Soud for frea book on ciu o and cure of pile * . ing under the supply wagon about thirty fert away fell to the ground on his face. Mcltea then came out of the wagon with a Winchester In his hand and I said , 'It is too late. He's dead. ' McRea then came up to where Gordon was on the ground and turned him over and that was about all that happened at that time. " This Is the case that the state has against McRea. M'REA'S OWN STORY. McRea'a statement of the case before the coroner'a Jury was as follows : It was be tween 7 and 8 o'clock on Sunday morning that Mr. Gordon came Into camp , after a trip to the drop band , and seated himself at. the table for breakfast. That he , the witness said , had been sick for three or four days and waa still ailing ; that he arose from- his slumbers and had spoken a few words to Gordon , and was again dozing ; that he heard the report of a gun and hoard Gordon cry out ; that It startled him and he Jumped up and saw Gordon run to the door of the camp wagon and Jump out , crying : "I'm shot , I'm shot , I'm shot ; " that he , the wit ness , jumped from the bed and ran out just ns Gordon fell , face downward , between the camp wagon and the supply wagon ; that when he ran and turned Gordon over he gasped but once and expired. McRca testified that Gordon came from Scotland In' July last and had been In his employ ever since ; that he was a steady herder , saving of his money , of good habits , used no profanity , and was a man he never had a word with ; that no trouble of any kind had ever existed between them. He stated that when they were talking Gordon was. seated at the table by the left side of the bed In the rear of the wagon and Ilia right sldo was to the door at the front ; that his , the witness' , feet were on the side that Goidon was scaled and that on the bed on top of his feet were coats and clothing and on top of all a shotgun and a 45-70 Win chester , the one discharged. MADD A SINGULAR WOUND. From the description by the witness Gor don would have received the bullet In the left sldo had ho remained seated , but a post mortem examination revealed thai tiio bul let entered the right side and made Its exit on the left side , passing through the heart. Dr. Leeper flrrt made an examination. Dm. Garner and Dean being called later. Their findings , however , were the e&tne. The pub lic hero seems to bo slow to think that -Mo Rea Is guilty , but the majority are Inclined to think that U is ono of those unexplalim- ble accidents that happen In a country where tlrcarms are In such common uso. At the post mortem examination the heart of Gordon was removed by the physicians who made the examination. The ball struck a rib and flattened , and when it reached the heart It absolutely silt It In two , and the heart has all the appearance of having been pounded with a hammer. Both the stories told seem incredible. What other evidence the officials have can only be surmised , but lid Norton said to The Bee reporter that the state had a good case , and that tbo matter would bo thoroughly Investigated , The cor oner's Inquest was adjourned over from to day until Monday. Mcllta'g friends claim that Pete "has It In for" Mcltea , and that he is going to causu him all the trouble pcsslble. He 1s a sheep herder in the employ of McRea. McRea seems to take the matter in a cool manner. He was present at the post mor tem and gave vent to no expression or ac tion that betrayed a guilty conscience. Dur ing the last few days he baa transacted his business here In Capper and gone about his business just as though nothing bad ever happened. Ilrotriicl ! Hull Commencement.

A special session of the Nebraska Beet Sugar association has been called for Tues day , June 15. at 2 o'clock p. m. , to consider the report of the committee on permanent organization and that portion of the tariff bill pertaining to the sugar Industry and Its development. 4 Ono Hundred Dollar Mich-Grade 'Bicycles ara being uold ( or Seventy DolUn , at ISIS Howard street. IM&V ' TARIFF MILL GOES STEADILY Senate is Makiug Remarkable Progress in Training the Measure , EARLY PASSAGE IS NOW PREDICTED Senator * Announce Unit the Final Votf 3Iiiy lie TnUeii Within tt Mouth Sujytir Schedule lu Still Uncertain. WASHINGTON , June 5. ( Special. ) Two senators , Platt of New York , republican , and Whlto of California , democrat , agree that the tariff bill will pa a the senate be fore July 1 , certainly from the 1st to the 10th. The democratic senators BO far have kept their promise to Interpose no obstacle for the purpose of delay. Some thirty-live pages of the tariff bill have been consid ered , though the actual work of considera tion has been confined to seven days. When the Wilson bill was before the senate three weeks were required to pass the same num ber of pages. The trouble at that time was that the democrats were divided among themselves as to certain features of the bill. 7 he icpublicans upon Ibis occasion differ from their brcthrea on the democratic side In being able to adjust In caucus all dif ferences of opinion as .0 what should bo regarded 3 a fair and equitable settle ment of pending questions. When the sugar schedule is reached , however , it Is expected that a great many epcet/Hvs for and against tbo senate amendment will be made , and there Is no absolute surety given that anew now amendment much more conservative In character will not be offered by the finance committee Just previous to the taking up of that paragraph , ' /he republicans are congratulating themselves over the progreso they are making upon the bill , and there scorns to bo no recaon yhy The Bee should change Us prediction that August 1 will find the bill upon the statute books. As out lined by Senator Aldrlch of Rhode Island , who is In charge .of the bill , the repub licans are refraining from making any set speeches upon any of the various para graph * , and are allowing their democratic friends to address themselves to the coun try as the exigencies of politics admit. It Is confidently believed that when the bill becomes an actuality It will be found to bu the falrcet tariff n-oasure ever passed. It will take Into consideration the changes since the days of the McKlnley bill , and will also have the benefit of the Wilson tariff. On the whole , therefore , there Is reason for congratulation that the senate Is milling steadily away , making quite as much progress as the moit enthusiastic of the republicans had any reason for antici pating.

That there is a ° ! gV eral activity In all lines of business canndj. be denied. Large numbers of residences are being erected In all parts of the city , house owners have been seized with a sudden dfslre to Improve the appearance of their property , and the result has been that the mechanics who have been begging for work during the past two yeara now have more tbiu they can attend to , and the hundreds of artisans who have been drawn to Omaha by news of the exposition have found employment. The pushing of work on the government building , together with the sudden rush of work on dwlllii 9 , has almcet dralnad the .supply of plasterers , and parties contemplat ing the erection of large buildings are per plexed by the fact that It miy be dlQcuIt to complete the work. The same Is true with reference to car penters , masons , and all the other building trades. In proof of the fact that the sltui- tloa his changed t ry materially the carpen ters' union recently raised the scale of wagei 6 cents per hour .and encountered no material difficulty in enforcing itj demand * . Under other circumstances th'la move would have been well nigh imp'osPlblo. In addition to ( ho Improvements voluntarily roado by property owners , the city authorities have taken a hand In the work of beautify ing the city and have ordered hundreds of new permanent walks laid along paved streets where the wooden walks have become unsafe. This work lias given employment to large numbers of pavers and the streets In all parts of the city present a most animated appearance. In addition to these signs of on Improved condition of affairs , tbo real estate men re port a decided improvement in the realty and rental market. The demand for ordinary dwelling houses has largely exceeded the supply and desirable houses of moderate size and price are at a premium. This is espe cially noticeable In the northern part of the city in the neighborhood of the exposition grounds. 'House rent : u this section has in creased and very few small houses are to be found. The dealers also say that a much better fcollng Is apparent In the matter of sales and several good ealcs are reported at advanced prices.
