Joseph Kestner , father , and Louis and
August Kt-ntner , bis two sotin. were lormally
arraigned In police court shortly after 11
o'clock j * terJ r morning. charged with
the uiurdsr of Patrol Conductor

where they will bo put la separate cells.
The preliminary hearing of the three pris
oners waa bet for Friday , June 18 , In the

afternoon , but It la exceedingly doubtful
whether it Mill occur at Urn time. An
agreement was made with J. W. Ellcr , at
torney for the defence , that if Officer Glover

Tbt > Information agalsst thn three men
was dravwi up Friday afternoon at a lal
hour on tinstiength of the alleged Identi
fication of Olficer Glo\er. It chargei the
prisoners with murder In the first degree.
At least two other Informations will be nicd
agaltmt them One will charge them with
snouting Ofllrer Glover with intent to kill
aud tLio othei' will charge burglary.
Glo\cr's Identification U belns lakrn with
considerable allowance except by the four
olllrers who were present when It occurred.
No reporters were allowed In the room , and
the police attempted to conceal the matter
from thu press on the pretence that they
were afraid of a lynching.
TIMJIIl STATEMENTS DIFFER.
The police explain the disagreement In the
two stalPMRl.tH of Glover In refcrunco to
Iduntllkutlon by saying that Immtdlatel )
after the shcotlng Glover was not In full
p S.5I8SI n of his Ecnses and tb > y thus account
for their dlsc.cparcles. They BBJ that on the
next il.iy Gloxer made a statement In which
ho paltially < l xcribed the burglars. They al
lege that then he stated that one of tht > gang
wan drigsed in the BW eater or l.nlt Jackr-t and
the cap found in thu KcRtner barn , and b ?
longing to thu older Kestner , and in which he
was clrcsu'il Friday when he was Ideutl
fitd. It is slated also that G'ovtr at the eime
time drsiribed some of the clothing worn by
the other men.
In this connection Is an alleged Identifica
tion by a tattl'd reporter , who was present
at the shooting. This witness says that he
was close at hand when one of the burglars
Jumped a fence. Louis Kihtner has been
picked out is this man. Friday afternoon
tlilfi prisoner was compelled to jump o\er
benches at the police station In the presence
of the reporter to see If the motion was sim
ilar to that made by the burglar when he
vaulted the fence. There Is Bald to have
been a partial identification. Tli'a ' cannot
amount to much , however , when it is consid
ered that after the sl-ootlng the reporter
stated that he thought the burglar was Tiedc
man and when It also considered that Ticde-
inan was fully a foot taller than Louis Kcut-
ner.
ner.CRAM
CRAM Kit AND DAVIS TO GO FRRE.
Yesterday Cramer and Davis were sub
jected to a vigorous examination by the
police but they were -Die to tell a good
story They ma > be held as a matter of
precaution for a time , but they will be dis
charged from custody In the near future.
The police ha\o began with renewed en
ergy the Ecarch for the weapons the shot-
5 ns and the re\ chore that the Ke'tncr *
/ ust have had If tliey are the guilty parties
ffho theory Is that they are buried some
where or concealed otherwise. The finding
of the weapons would furnish a most im
portant bit of evidence jn the chain of clr-
cumstanres against the prisoners.
In thU connection , also , the police arc
said to have a clew from a man whose name
Is not disclosed. An far as can be learned
tlilfi is In effect that somebody saw a part }
concealing the guns. If thli party can be
found , the Important evidence mav be
brought to light. The approximate location
of the burying place Is said to be In the
possession or the police. An Investigation
was made yeFterday , but It was without
results. The day was spent , however , on this
clow.
It Is not considered Impossible that If the
Kestncrs were the murderers. thy may have
concealed the weapons between the hours of
6 o'clock and noon , Wednesday morning. It
iva * about 9 o'clock of that day that their
premises were visited. The detectives found
Louis Kujtner at home and arrested him.
The other two were away , supposedly out In
the country. According to the statements
made * by the female members of the family
the men left at G 20 o'clock A couple of
olllcera trlr.1 to pick up tliolr trail , but were
unsuccessful. At noon the pair returned to
their house and were arrested After that
the father , Joseph , stated that they had
pone out about a mile south of Walnut Hill.
Tim s-on stated that they had gone to the
fair grounds.
Fndaj night a rifle and another gun wore
found m the Kestncr hor.se , despite the state
ments of the prisoners that there bad not
been an > weapon on the premises for a jear.
These are not the weapons the police are
af'er , ho t\er , as they are not of the short-
barrelrd variety that both OHcer TUdeman
and OllU-cr Glover bpoke of.
The Kistnera have not as jet been sub
jected to much examination by the author
ities What they did say was not of a very
important character. With the facts the )
now have In thilr possession , the police in-

DumferouHly Hurt. |
A desperate cutting affray , which may ter
minate fatally for at least one of the partici
pants , took place In the cooperage shop of
the Willow Springs distillery yesterday after
noon shortly after 2 o'clock. The men In
volved In the trouble were Henry Claussen
and Christian Reed , the latter residing wltb
bis family at 1112 South Sixth street.
Clsuasen bad been drinking heavily nearly
all day. At the time of the trouble be j
walked over to a bench at which Heed was
working and proceeded to break up some of i
the latter's tools. He was called upon to
dealst , and Reed 1s said to have knocked him ,
down , although who struck the first blow U
not definitely known. Claussen then picked
up a champing knife , wtilch li used In the
work , and struck at Reed. The tool caught
him In the left aide In the email of the back.
A wound six or eight Inches resulted. Al
though bleeding profusely Heed olcked up
a drawing knife from the bench and went
after hla assailant. The two fought for sev
eral minutes before the other ernplo > es could
ceparato them , and when they weie at
length parted both were dripping with blood.
Reed fell to the floor weak from loss of
blood , and was later carried to bis home. '
Clau&seu made bit escape and vent to bis
room at 104 South Fourteenth pvreet , He
was arroated at tbli place bait au bour later
and taken to the police station. It was
found upos elimination tbat be baJ sus
tained a gash five inches In length upon ,
the left leg which o iietrated clear to the
bone , another cut upon the left wrist , a gash
upon the nose and another Just above tha
forehead. Ho had bled copiously andwas _
very weak when placed upon the operating
table. The * ound were sowed up by the
city surgeon , and no was then removed to a
cell. He was charged with assault * ith in
tent to kill.
Surgeons Galb'-alth and Esheldson were
called to attend Heed and they found him in
a critical condition. It wa jounl that the
knife had penetrated to } he , pleura of the
left lung , and that he wa's suffering from
Internal hemorrhage. TJic wound was tem
porarily dressed to prevent the flow of bloo
and Reed soon after becanieuncanscous.
Previous to this , however , be gave a ome-
\vhat different version of rtb"e trouble than
that given by Clauesen. HO asserted that
Clauesen had "Joahed"i ( lm about an old
etraw hat which be wan fccarrng , and bo bad
told ClauEfien to attend to'bli own business.
Words followed and Clauseen bad then begun
breaking up his tools , " He alleges that
Claussen struck at him first and that the
cutting which he did w * done in self-de-
