Slncletrec.
TEKAMAH , Neb , Oct. 11 ( Special ) A
Jury was secured this morning In the Eggle-
ton murder case Attorney Argo In his openIng -
Ing address to the Jury outlined the defense
The defendant , Oscar Yeger , he said , wad
horn in Sweden and came to this country
when 16 years of age. V few years after
coming to America he went to Uecatur ,
whore he had a sister living Here he at
tended the public school and secured n fair
common school education. He remained In
that vicinity and by Industry earned nnd
saved some money He was married to an
English girl , going to her home In England
and marrying her. With his savings he pur
chased ninety acres of land near Decatur
and on this was residing with his family
at the time the tragedy occurred.
Yeger and the victim , Egglcton , had had
some trouble over a road which ran from
Yeger's place by Eggleton's. direct to De
catur The road was not n regularly laid
out road , but had been traveled by the people
ot that nelchborhcod for more than thlrtv
years. Eggleton had shut up the road at
different times , but It had been opened up
by neighbors and shortly before the killing
cf Eggleton the latter had again threatened
to close the road This engendered some
feeling. A strip cf land lying between Eg-
glcton nnd Yeger , and which It Is claimed
had at ono time been conceded by Egglcton
to belong to Yeger , was being used year
after year by Egglcton and Yeger , listening
to the advise of counsel , had determined not
to allow Eggleton to continue In peaceable
and unmolested pcsscaslon cf the tame for
fear that ho would later claim possession ot
It.
On the morning of the * occurrence Yegar
Irft home without any Idea of trouble , eo his
counsel maintain , and did not anticipate that
Eggle'on was plowing on the land In con
troversy. Coming to the land nnd seeing
Eggleton plowing he stopped h'a team. KnowIng -
Ing , as counsel said , Eggleton's quarrel
some disposition nnd fearing him , he took
from his wagon one of the singletrees and
went to where Eggleton was. He had no
Idea of striking Eggleton , but took the
singletree along , thinking that with It he
could stand oft Eggleton should he prove
quarr l3ome. lie told Cggleton to stop plow-
Ing. Eggleton stopped plowing , swore at
Ycgcr and called him names , after which
he went to where Yeger was and told him
ho would do him up and assaulted him with
his fists. Yeger raised the singletree with
no idea of striking a blow , but to ward off
a threatened blow. The singletree being
heavier than anticipated , it swung around
and landed on Eggleton , knocking him down
Eggleton arose In a moment and , returning
to his team , went to plowing , when Yeger
returned to his team , replaced his single
tree and , upon the suggestion of his wife ,
who had then joined him , went to a
justice ot the peace and surrendered himself
and payed a fine for hitting a man , with
out a thought of having seriously injured
Eggleton. The killing , so the counsel main
tained , would be shown to have been purely
accidental and In self-defense.
The defendant's v.ife and three small
children are present with him in the court
room , one , a little girl , sitting in his lap
through all the proceedings. During the
presentation ot the case by counsel for the
defense the defendant was In tears and
seemed much affected as the occurrence was
again pictured to him.
Expert TcHtlmoii ) .
Drs Ross and Sears of Decatur testified
as to the cause of Eggleton's death and
described the wound as to its location and
effect. They also Identified the skull of the
deceased , which was introduced In evidence.
Mrs. Eggleton , wife of thp deceased , says
her husband was 52 years of age at the time
of his death. When brought to his home
he could not stand. She first saw her hus
band crawling on the ground. Yegcr moved
to his present hcmo March 1 last and the
land in dispute had been farmed and claimed
by Ejgleton , upon right of possession , for
twelve years , having previously been in the
possession of ono Long , who was bought
out by Egglotcn
Alt Page was at Yeger's on the day of
the murder ; saw Jack Best there and Best
-
aim IBBUISIODU oy tne wagon while Yeger
was hitching up and they started down the
road tlgothcr. Best was gone twenty or thirty
minutes when he returned. Best Is the man
connected with the case as having kept Mrs.
Yeger from going to restrain her husband.
Mrs Bradshaw , a neighbor living a few
rods from the scene , heard loud talking and
went out of Uio hose to Itio cornclb , where
her husband was She heard Yeger In a loud
voice to eay , "I tell you to get right off of
here" Eggleton was talking , but Ycgcr
wag the louder. When she first saw the
men they were standing up , one on each
tide of the plow She glanced down to
where her husband was shelling corn and
Immediately looked up , when she saw Eg
gleton lying on the ground and heard him
crying "Oh ! Oh ! " several times. She did
not see Eggleton make any motion as
though fighting Ycger. She and her husband
went to Egglcton. He was lying on the
ground with the lines about his shoulders
Ho got up In a few moments and started
to plow Ycger left before they got to Eg
gleton When ho reached his team ho went
behind the horses for a moment and then
got into his wagon and drove bick to his
gate , where ho met his wife , then turned
and drove to town Eggleton plowed to
the corner , when ho fell again. He was then
carried to his home.

President McKlnley said
"My fellow citizens , It ghes meery greit
pleasure to participate with you , men of the
lorth and men of the south , In this glad re
union of hearts. We are already unified , the
icace which Grant and Lee made at Appomat-
ox has been Kept , not by law or restraint ,
> ut by love and fraternal regard The union
oday rests not on force which may fall , but
rests in the hearts of the people , a union
hat never can be severed.
"If I ha\o been permitted In the slightest
degree to help In the work of reconcll'atlon
and unification I will esteem It the greater'
loner ot my life. When I made the call for
rocps to prosecute the Spanish war men
rom the north and the south , without re
gard to political belief or religious creed ,
allied to the standard of the union. The
> est men of the south came the sons of old
VITIIACUUI MLC OUIUICID , IIIU IftaL Ultll Ui LUC
north came the sons of the old members of
ho Grand Army of the Republic. All came to
gether In heart and hand to follow the nag
of their country wherever dt might lead. We
lave been reconciled ; more than rcconcllel ,
'or our reconciliation has been baptized In
he best blood of both sections of our beloved
country. It a northern soldier put the flag
up at Santiago , a southern soldier , the gal-
ant Brumby of Georgia , put It up over
Manila. It rests with us to look to the fu
ture , putting the past behind us And this
government relies upon the patriotism of the
country , north and south , to etand by the
purposes of the government and follow in
; he pathway of Us destiny.
"We come together not as wo came a
third of a century ago , with arms In our
hands , but we come with love for each other
In our heart ? "
With the conclusion of his speech Presi
dent McKlnlej announced that the members
of his cabinet were present and several
would aiako short addresses.
< o llic Vcternim.
Attorney General Grlggs spoke In part as
follows :
"Wo appreciate this welcome from the
great state ot Indiana. It Is appropriate to
day that wo turn back to review the gal
lant Coeds of those who on land and aea
have upheld the cause that was nearest their
hearts. It was the Inevitable decree ot
Providence that this land should exist as
one nnd not become a divided country The
valor that Inspired the men cf the north
and south I ? a common heritage of pride to
all the land.
"People sometimes deplore war and spoik
of peace conferences as If they coull blot
out of the soul ot man all love of gallantry ,
all admiration for heroic deeds. You may
declare and resolve to the end of the woild
my friends , but longest and least In the
admiration cf the human soul will llvo deeds
of heroism and gallantry done in noble
causes for ho benefit of the world
mankind and God , And so it Is
fitting that those who folbw the cause
that they believed In according to theli
hearts' devotion and their minds' direction
should be accorded the glory that Is Justly
theirs. And tnay no tlmo ever come when
the flag of our country Is assailed , vvhei our
honor Is Imperiled or at stake , that any man
shall sit down to count the coat of its de
fense , or stop to think whether he incurs
rtek cf danger ; where the honor of the na
tion , the glory of the flag and Its supremacy
are In question , no honojt patriot , nothing
but a coward , would etop to ask what 1
would cost to save It , "
Secretary of the Treasury Gage and Sec
retary of the Navy Long also spoke brle'ly
At the conclusion of the speeches the
presidential party were at once driven to
the railroad station and departed at ucoa
for the north.
MnUcN Another Six-i'di.
Just before President McKlnley left

wishes of a large crowd of citizens gathered
at the ttatlon and deliver a second brief
address In Uiat city from the rear of the
train. The president eald
My Fellow Citizens1 1 appear only fcr a
moment In response to your repeated calls
that I may express to all of you my very
warm appreciation of the more than gener
ous welcome which has been ace r'ed to me
by the citizens of this thriving city of In
diana. I am likewise grateful for the reccp.
tlon given by the visitors , representing the
north and the soiitd , now united in unbroken
and never to be > broken union The strength
and eafcty of this great nation of ours do
not rest In armies or In navies , but In the
love and loyalty of its people , and so long
as we have the people behind that , so long
as wo have the sentiment that goes out fron
the homes and the firesides of ( no American
people , so long will we have Hie best citi
zenship and at last the best country ,
thank you and bid you all good morning. '
At Vinccnnee the president was greets <
