The case of Lowell Adalr , alleged to have
been the burglar who escaped when Hey
Homo was shot In the act of robbing Snni-
ucl H. I'ninsworth's cash rcKlstcr , was op
ened In police court yestcrelay afternoon
nnd n mass of circumstantial evidence was
brought to connect him with the crime
When the shot was fired a companion of
Homo's made a plunge through a plate gla-
window and escaped , leaving on the side
walk a boft , red hat as the only elow to his
Identity. This evidence , together with a
heavy piece of iron employed to break Into
I'aniHworth's window , Is useel In connection
with Home's dying confession to connect
Adalr with the crime
The llrst witness was Samuel II Pains-
w'orth , druggist , who outlined the events of
the night of August 31. He said he had re
tired nt 10 o'clock In nn alcove partitioned
from the store proper. About 1 30 o'clock
ho was awakened by the- sound of some one
working at a rear window and a few
minutes later lizard the Intruder enter and
hpeak In n low tone of voice to a compan
ion. Ho was able to distinguish the word ,
"wait , " and then as the men passed his
door ho nroso and boftly turned the lock ,
llo secured his revolver from a drawer and
drew the flbnclo back from the glass of the
door. He could tee the form of a man at
work nt the cash register and without hes
itation he tired through the glass The
robber staggered In the direction of his
companion , who at that moment made his
eetibutlotitil dtvo through the front window
The druggist t-iw the wounded burglar fall
and running through a side door hu btarteel
In pursuit of thc > fugitive The latter lleii
north on Twenty-second street and disap
peared In the rear of the Rleticoe mills.
Taihsvvorth then returned and found the
Injured man lylug near the door. "I got
vou that time , old man , " ho said , and the
robber responded , "That's what you clIJ.
paitner. " The druggist plied Home with
ici > toratl\cs and assisted him to the fresh
air outside. Mr Karnsworth Identltleel a
red hat us one that he found on the side
walk Immediately after the occurrence.

( Btrect , cave nn important bit of circum
stantial ivtelcnte regarding the piece of Iron
which he hid found under a wagon box In
the roar of Adalr's house. It was very
maty , but hail the uppeuranVo of recent use
anil after Tldd hud been shown the marks
of n Jlmmj on Parnsworth's rear window
it occurred to him that the shape of the
Iron was similar He took the bar to Parns
worth's store and together they lilted it in
the marks on the door nnd window U filled
the Indentations exactly , the mark of a
flange on one nlde being perfectly outlined
On the night of the occurrence Christ
Johnson , living In a house adjoining Adalr's
at 2023 Cumlug street , testltled that ho had
heard two men talking over the high board
fence which separates the two yards A few
minutes later , about i o'clock , he observed
two men leave the yard and proceed toward
ranuworths store Om > of the nun he
bays wore a red crush hat The fact that
Adalr was out late that night was also
brought out by Mrs Laura Simms who
lives in a collage in front of that occu
pied by Adalr faho was attracted to the
door by the bound of the parsing patrol
wagon and saw It stop before Parnsworth's
store As she stood on the porch she saw '
Ailair and his wife standing a short ells- '
tane.es away , the former peering around the
corner In the direction of the crowd gath
ered In fiont of the Htote She testified
also that Adair was In the habit of wearing
a red hat j
Ur H U Wilson , ono of the most impor- |
taut witnesses foi the state , was then i
called nnd a discussion followed between Lee
Helsley , for the defense , and Assistant
County Attorney Jeffries , regarding the nil-
mission of his testimony. It related to the
ptoptlety of considering the death-bed con- i
fcs = lou of Homo which Implicated Adalr as
his accomplice The confession had not
been made In Adalr s presence nnd the de-
fcnso held that a man had the right to con
front his accusers In all cases face to face.
On the other hand it was urged that the tes
timony of a man knowing that death was
near was removed fiom the definition of
hearsay evidence Dr Wilson continued his
testimony , the Judge rescrvlmi the right to
strike It out If ho determined later that
it was inadmissible. The witness said that
on the night preceding Homo's death , the !
I
latter had msile an Inquiry resardlng his
condition and had been Informed that there
was no chance for his recovery Home Is I I
then salel to have icniarked , "Lowell Adalr
I
Is to blame for all this " The surgeon In-
I
eiulied further and was told that Aelnir was
the one-armed man who had been with him 1
at the attempted burglary Dr Wilson had i
several conversations with Homo on the
i
same subject and the latter asserted several
times that Ailair had been his accomplice
That completed the testimony for the
state with the exception of ono witness and
the case was continued until 3pm today.

\liniil tinl.nnilieT Contract.
The action of the city council In awarding
the lumber contract to a firm whose bid waa
not the lowest Is causing considerable talk
It his been the custom for some tlmo past
to advertise for bids for lumber once a year.
and as a general thing the firm bidding the
lowest has been given the contract. This
year was no exception to the rule as far as
advertising for bids was concerned. At the
meeting held Tuesday night three bids were
turned over to the committee on viaducts ,
streets nnd alleys , and the committee re
ported. recommending that the contract bo
given to the Hradford-Klnsler Lumber com
pany without quoting any figures Some of
the republican members wanted the figures
read but they were voted down and a reso
lution was passed directing the mayor and
clerk to enter Into a contract with the Hrad-
I ford people An Inspection of the bids shows
that the contract was not let to the lowest
bidder. On every item hid on the Watklns
Lumber company was lower by 23 cents per
1,000 feet than either of the other bidders
Judged by last year's business the contract
Is worth between $3.000 and JI.OOO , ami the
saving of 25 cents per 1,000 feet wouM
amount to quite a sum.
The award was so manifestly unfair that
mandamus proceedings will probably be In-
stltutcel to compel the council to accept the
lowest bid
Mayor Hnsor has refused to sign the con
tract for the reason that the bid was noi
the lowest and he has u veto under consld
erauon It Is presumed that Harreit , whc
will be acting mayor during the absence o
Mayor Hnsor , will sign the contract ami to
prevent this maudatius proceedings have
been Instituted

City Attorney Montgomery has been Instructed -
1 structed to draft an ordinance for the grad-
1 Ing of the alley between Twenty-second and
Twenty third streets and 1 and J streets
This matter has hung fire for several mon.hs
ns there Is n dispute among the property
, owners interested about the advisability of
this grading. Some of the owners of real
estate In tliid neighborhood want the grading
' clone while- others do not and at the present
tlmo those who are against the grueling ap
pear to be In the milieu Ity. It Is possible
that by the tlmo the ordinance goes through
I its regular course It will bo too late In the
' sciEon for the work to be done this year
I and those opposed to the proposition hope
that this will be true.
