BOUND OVER
CHARGED WITH MURDER
IN FIRST DEGREE
C H Thompson Held Under 5000 Bond
for Killing Arthur London History
of the Case Showing Probable
Motive for the Shooting
On the morning of the loth of
March Cicero H Thompson propri
etor of the Owl saloon shot two sol
diers Arthur London and Austin
Milleman privates in Troop K of the
First U S Cavalry stationed at Fort
Niobrara as they were in the act of
breaking into his private residence
London was shot in the head three
times and Milleman twice Thomp
son gave himself into the charge of
the officers later was released and
afterward was arrested and held un
der 1000 bonds awaiting the result
of his shots Friday morning March
23 at 445 oclock London died and
a coroners jury placed the blame on
Thompson who was then arrested for
murder in the first degree and gave
a 5000 bond for his appearance in
court yesterday The preliminary
hearing was held before Judge Towne
yesterday afternoon and today the
principal witness Milleman appear
ing in court on a stretcher as he is
suffering from an attack of appendi
citis though rapidly recovering from
his wounds Court Reporter Maher
lecordingthe testimony Thompson
offered no evidence and after hearing
the arguments Judge Towne at 11
oclock this morning bound him over
to district court on a charge of man
slaughter - Prosecuting Attorney
Morrissey was not satisfied with this
decision so dismissed the action re
arrested Thompson through Justice
Clark son defendant waived examin
ation and was bound over to district
court charged with murder in the
first degree and is at large under a
bond of 5000 signed by D S Lud
wig and J A Sparks Attorneys
Morrissey and Tucker are prosecuting
the case while Walcott and Clarke
are defending
The historv of the crime if crime it
is proven to be is an interesting one
and the many friends of the defend
ant shudder when the details are men
tioned As brought out by the evi
dence at the inquest and later at the
preliminary trial the story is as fol
lows
Thompson was subject to a species
of petty blackmail by certain soldiers
on account of having Committed an
unmentionable crime usually attrib
uted only to the most morally de
praved persons and on the night of
the shooting London and Milleman
slipped out of the fort after check
and came to town with the avowed
intention of getting some money from
him Arriving in town they went to
the Owl saloon then to a restaurant
and while eating a lunch they saw de
fendant pass ffoinjr in the direction
of his home Finishing their lunch
they went to his house but received
no answer to their raps on the door
Fromithere they went to the ranch
south of town and asked for the man
they were seeking and then came to
the house again and knocked after
which they went to the depot From
the depot they went to the poker
room next to the Owl saloon and
stole a lot of checks and cards
After going to the depot and dividing
their booty they again repaired to
Thompsons house called to him and
rapped on the windows and door but
received no response Thinking he
was not at home they then decided
to force an entrance and wait for the
owner tb return
Accordingly they forced open the
door of tha storm shed and propped
it shut with a broom Then the two
placed their shoulders against the
inner door and it opened with a
crash As his foot went over the sill
of the door Milleman saw a flash rec
ognized Thompson and then fell back
into the shed and crouched into a cor
ner London sprang to the outside
door and while removing- the broom
was shot in the back of the head He
opened the door took a step and fell
to the ground where he laid kicking
and groaning Thompson then came
to the door saw Milleman and shot
him a second time then went outside
and shot London twice more Mille
man in agonj and fear then asked if
he could go and being answered in
the affirmative started down town
Thompson who was fully dressed ac
companied him saying he would go
for a doctor Milleman went to
cotts livery barn Thompson called
the marshal and our readers have
been told the rest
The foregoing shows the defendant
in a bad light but as he has made no
statement since his arrest we cannot
forecast the result of his trial next
month Breaking into a mans house
is a serious offense and if the prose
cution fails to show a motive for the
killing clearly he will undoubtedly
be acquitted

W P Hunt reports a very exciting
trip down from KosebUd with the
mail Saturdav When about twenty
miles from town on the lonely prairie
he noticed two horsemen ride over a
knoll to the right and a little in front
of him one wearing a white and the
other a red handkerchief over their
faces One of them flourished a re
volver and called on him to halt but
Hunt wasnt built that way so he gave
his team their heads and started on
the run The would be robbers then
began firing -on the stage the first
shot ripping the canopy top of the
vehicle and the second puncturing
the mail bag By this time the horse
men were behind and started in pur
suit firing as they came One of the
bullets from the rear penetratedthe
drivers heavy overcoat tore through
his notebook and flattened against
his watch Hunt had a revolver with
five loads in it and emptied each
chamber toward his pursuers The
second one found its mark and drop
ped one of the sdoundrels from his
horse and that is all that is known of
the affair Up to date nobody has
been found wounded on the reserva
tion
