The car is on its wry to Denver, where the owners will exhibit it to railroad officials and try to sell it to them to be used in regular passenger service.

Perhaps the most interesting development m the testimony in the trial of Nan Patter sen, charged with the murder of Catrsar Young, came when Ccrcners rhysie-ian O Hauler, tck-k the witness stand for the prosecution and said m reply to questions that he had changed hla opinion that Young had committed suicide. Dr. O'Hanlon performed the autopsy on Young's body, in his testimony he said: "My present opinion is not the opin ion I reported to Coroner Brown. I think now it is a case for the jury to decide. I thought at the time that I detected powder marks on the hands of Caesar Young." Assistant District Attorney Rand then produced the report of Dr. O'Han lon. which did not define the case as one of suicide, and the doctor said that he simply expressed the suicide opinion in conversation with Coroner Brown.

GUARD TOWN CF HEMPSTEAD Son cf Captain Brown is Arrested. Charged With Killing Congressman Pinckney Tried ts Dissuade His Father Fro-n Attending Meeting. Hempster . Tex.. April 26. As the result of the bloody battle here Mon day night, when four men were kilted and others injured, Hempstead is un der the control of the Texas rangers. Martial law has not been declared, but the adjutant general arrived with a number of rangers and assumed charge of affairs. No one is permitted to bear arms and the excitement has quieted down. Rollan Brown, the son of one of the men killed at the Prohibition mass meeting, v. a; placed under arrest, oa a charge ot tiring the shot which killed Representative Pinckney. He stated tha his father was under the influence cf intoxicants when he at tended tho meeting, and that he at tempted to dissuade him from attend ing. His father, however, was firm in, his intention and went to the meeting. The son followed and took part In the shooting. It has been established that the trouble began when Captain Brown attempted to secure recognition to speak at the meeting. It is said that his language was offensive to several ladies present and the fusil lade began immediately afterward. Congressman Pinckney was shot four times and was almost instantly killed. Thomas Pinckney. a brother of the congressman, was chct twice in the back and killed and Captain Brown received a bullet through the heart. John E. Mills, the remaining victim, took no part in the affair and was ac cidentally killed by a stray bullet. The killings are the direct result of a Prohibition movement in Waller county, which was begun some years ago. and the feeling has been intense. An election was held in Waller coun ty. April 20, and the Prohibitionists, with whom the Pinckneys were affil iated, were successful. The Prohi bition league was called together to wind up its affairs and disband. A resolution, requesting the governor to send troops to Waller county for the purpose of enforcing the law against liquor sellers was excitedly debated. It was at this juncture that Captain H. M. Brown, who had figured prom inently as an anti-Prohibitionist, sought to have the chairman recog nize him and shortly afterwards fir ing began.

Circus. fSaturdayVDaily) The "councilmanic comedy last night turned cut to be a three ring cirus, the honors beng about equally divided among the chief performers in each rins The three English speak ing Columbus editors refereed the per formance, each holding down a separ ate corner of the council chamber; and most all of the city officers and same spectators held reserved seat9. Councilmea Galley and Greisen did the "juggling stunt" in one ring; Councilman Greisen first appeared, held up the Gray resolution before the spectators, made a few quick passes, and lo that resolution vanished ; and so quickly was it done that even the provision for submitting the city printing to bias, escaped the quick eye of Councilman Clark, who after the disappearance exclaimed in a stu pefied kind of way, "That doesn't affect ihe bids, does it?" But scarcely was this "stunt" completed when Mr. Galley appeared before the foot lights, holding Howard's "official paper" high above his head where every spectator could read Howard's boast. "The Telegram is the official paper of Columbus." But even as the spectators read, the vision dis appeared and in its place passed the disappointed ghost of the false prophet. Before the spectators had time to recover their self-possession, the band oesan to play in the second ring and another more engaging scene flashed before tbem. The "boy councilman" from the Third, togged out in the attire of the "Ewe's Fool," rushed upon the stage with an important looking type-written document, which, with a wink, he banded to the clerk. Ihe clerk read it. It bore the names of good citizens from the Third, the ward where sood men vcted acainst Mr. Sheldon because it was al leged that gentleman had neglected to provide a certain light on Thir teenth street. The petitioners asked that the missing light be supplied. And the new councilman was sitting in silent contemplation of free rides on the shoulders of admiring consti tuents when they should learn of his patriotic service. But ye gods of mis fortune! Some councilman, called for a map, and the 'jig was up," for there, on the very identical spot where the petitioners asked for a light, was a light which had been provided long before by the thoughtful hands of Councilman Sheldon and others, who in looking out for their Thirteenth street neigbors, forgot even to supply lights for themselves. Thus ended Councilman Zinnecker's stunt, and the spectators voted him the palm as the best entertainer in the circus. But the third rins was yet to be heard from. And what happened in this ring was "heard" and not" seen" for it consisted chiefly of discordant noises. Finally it was possible to hear the leader of the band, Mr. Dietrich, as he shouted loader than the rest, "The saloons mast remove their screens, their screens must be remov ed."
