She stated further that ' Broderson' had started toward her to strike her before she fired the fatal ahot. "I went to hla room," she said, "and found that he was talking-to some man.

The cross-examttiatlon ot this witness elicited the fact that In some cases It Is difficult to tell the difference In certain words. F. F.

"On and prior to October 24, 1902, the reputation of Mrs. Lllile, as far as I know, was good. "I have seen them sitting on the porch and In the hammock. This was when I was going home at night. This would be from 1:30, 9, 10 and 11 o'clock. "Mr. Lllile was In my store frequentlyi quite often In the evening. We frequently went home together at night." W. E.

I did not testify before the coroner's Jury that when I first got there that morning Bert Hall, Mrs. Ullte and two or three other men were there. Theft were strangers to me. I did not pay any attention to anything but Mr. Lllile. Possibly la part I did. and In part I did not. so tettlfy at that time regarding the peraona. I should have testified at that t'me that Mra. Pue low was there. I now remember that ahe was there. The testimony before the cor oner's Jury was In a conversational way. "I noticed that Mr. Lillle's face was turned directly to the west. I never waa clear on that, but think I could have seen toth eyes; I should decl'ne to say pos itively, but I could see a part of the left side of bis face. Do not remember that I could sea the cheek bone. I do not re member that I testified before the coroner's jury that I did notice the poaltion of Mr. Lillle's head and he was lying with bis face toward the west a little. I might bave so testified.

SEVERAL MOVES ARE MADE FOR DELAY After Mirk Sparring and Several Mo. tloas Are Overrnled Caase la Set for Hearing at April Terns. SEWARD. Neb.. Feb. 26. (Special Tele gram.) Judge Sornborger adjourned dis trict court here today, having disposed ot all tbe cases for trial. The attention of the court was taken up yesterday and this afternoon with the case of Bishop Bonacum against Rev. William Murphy. This case, was started last Sep tember and came up for hearing In Decem ber, at which time both parties asked for time to take the depositions of the church tribunal at Rome. Yesterday the attorney for Bishop Bonacum filed a motion to strike the defendsnt's answer from the files, but the motion wss only sustained In part. This morning the bishop asked for the ten days' time In which to reply, but the judge only allowed him until the after noon adjournment. He then asked that an other Judge be called to try the case, but thts also was refused. He then asked for a continuance until the next term of court to enable him to take tbe deposition of tbe papal delegate at Washington, and thla also was refused. The bishop then asked for a change ot venue, alleging that Judge Sorn borger was prejudiced and biased, belong ing to the same political party and waa a personal friend of Rev. Murphy. This mo tion was also denied, and the bishop then filed a motion to dismiss the action, but this motion was resisted by the defendant and the case was finally set for hearing at the April term. The bishop withdrew his motion to dis miss after there appeared to be a disposi tion to hold him for contempt of court. This la said to be the ninth action com menced by the bishop against Father Mur phy and In November, 1901, Judge Sorn borger Issued an Injunction restraining the bishop from beginning another action until the church courts hsd given a decision of the matter in controversy.

DAKOTA LEGISLATORS BUSY Senate in Qolet, bnt the Honae Mem bers In m Contentions Mood. PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 26. (Special Tele gram.) Anotr-cr rush of new bills came Into the senate today, the principal ones being to reduce tbe number of pacers in which I Insurance statements shall be printed -In i each judicial circuit to one; by Robertson, to appropriate money for building at peni tentiary and at the deaf mute school. The senate passed the following houso bills: Increasing fees tor lease or purchas.i of state lands; providing for restoration of destroyed records affecting real titles; re lating to redemption ot unpatented tnlnlna ; education wltbout submitting to a vote; pro hlbttlng the killing of large game except from November 15 to December IS of each year; the peddler license bill waa passed after exempting aewlng machine and piano agents from Its provisions and reducing the fees. The Sunday observance bill created a flurry, Moody moving Indefinite postpone ment, whlcb failed. Boyland opposed It as a matter which ahould be left to every man's conscience to settle for hlmaeif, and It was Snally sent back to the Judiciary committee without action. The bouse was In a scrappy mood and atarted on the ad vers report of tbe'graln dockage bill, which Scobell moved to change to a favorable report. Price asked that tbe change be made to bring the bill up for consideration, and stated that the commit tee which considered It was composed .of three farmers and three gralnmen and di vided evenly In regard to the value of the bill. Potter, Elliott, Countryman, Craig and Allen opposed a change in the com mittee report, as they did not see any good In the bill .declaring that the farmer would be Injured Instead of benefited by It, but on vote the Scobell amendment carried by vote of 35 to SI.

Kingsbury and Noner. called out a sharp tilt between Longstaff of Beadle and .Brown of Sanborn, In which the question of veracity took a prominent part regard less of the gavel work of the speaker. Teare and Goddard favored the bill, while Carroll and Craig asked for delay, but It was pushed to a vote, carrying by 67 to 17. The appropriation of 35.000 for an ex hibit at St. Louis passed by 77 to 7, after an attemr-t to amend to $25,000 failed. Tbe house passed the senate bill to au thorize the Stat Board ot Charltlea to dis pose of certain lands at the reform achool and purchase others. The principal new house bills, not senate duplicates, were to Ax salaries of registers of deeds and county auditors, and make terma of town officers three years.
