TURNER AND IIIll OS TRIAL
8tat Introduce! Its Evidence. Begarding
Killing of Chilson..
DEFENSE TAKES ITS INNING MONDAY
i
Gala oa the Theory that Revolver
.Was Accidentally Discharged aad .
that -Tamer Did Not Intend '
to Shoot Chilson.
The first of the preliminary hearing of
Robert Turner and Andy Hill, colored,
charged with the killing of Oeorge Chilson
on July 14, waa heard by Police Judge Scott
yesterday morning, when the evidence on
the part of the atate waa Introduced. Chil
son died the day following the shooting,
and the men are charged with murder In
the first degree.
Turner and Hill .are both well known
young colored men, . and have npt been In
serioua trouble until the night of the
shooting. They were on a motor coming
In from the Eagles' ' carnival when Chil
son accused then) of making fun of him
and some companions. Chilson climbed
over two seats to where the defendants
were sitting and Jumped from the car,
producing a revolver as he struck the car
ateps. 'Hill was with Turner and attempted
to take the revolver from hla companion.
While standing on the lower steps the
revolver wne exploded and Chilson re
ceived a wound which resulted in his death.
Turner alleged that the gun went oft by
accident, and witnesses of the' ahooting
testified before the coroner's Jury that
the shot was fired while Turner was stand
ing on the steps below Chilson. The state
allegea the ahot was Intentionally fired. No
new evidence was produced by the state
at the preliminary hearing.
Drs. Macrae and. Treynor testified as to
the technical location of the wound, and
an undertaker testified t.iat Chilson was
dead.
Attorneys for the defense will attempt to
show Monday morning that Chilson was
the aggressor, and that the gun was dis
charged In an acldental manner as Turner
was about to fall from the car at the time
of the shot. The defense will also attempt
to prove that Chilson was partially In
toxicated, and the negroes were unaware
of his presence on the car until Turner
was struck In the face.
The defense admits that Turner had a
revolver In' hla hand, but Insists that the
defendant expected to use It as a club In
case Chilson Jumped from the car to as
sault Turner a second time. At the time
of his arrest Turner stated that he ex
pected to "ciub his gun" and use It In
self-defense, as he was afraid Chilson
would attack htm the second time.
The state does not expect to prove that
Hill had more than a knowledge of the
affair and participated verbally. So far
the atate has been unable to array the
two defendants against each other.
TRACKS REMAIN WHERE THEY ARB
Street Railway Company Not to Use
Any More of Street. '
Superintendent Tucker and Attorney Tin
ier o the Omaha 4 Council Bluffs Street
Railway company were aldermanlcally sat
upon Saturday morning when the city
council met In apeclal session and refused
the street car company permission to use
any more of Broadway from Oak to Frank
street.
Residents of the First ward have been
up in arms for aeveral daya over tha torn
up condition of Oak street and Broad
way, and Thursday Mayor Macrae served,
not'ee on Contractor Wlckham not to tear
Oak street in any more pieces than were
apparent at that date. Mr. Wlckham al
leged that the condition of Broadway waa
not to hla liking, as he had a gang of
men ready to proceed with the paving, but
could not do so until the street car com
pany prepared its tracks. A wordy war
ensued and the contractor stood pat. Early
Saturday morning the street car company
was notified that there would be some
thing doing In the Improvement business,
and the superintendent at once arranged
for" a special council meeting. With Mayor
Macrae, backed by the city council and
Mr.. Wlckham In a atrenuoua mood. Super
Intendent Tucker waa ready to agree to
any truce In order to keer the cara mov
ing. The rejected concrete In the upper
Broadway curbing will be brought up to
the Wlckham test and the ateetcar com
pany will continue to occupy the same
ground at that point that It does at the
present time, as the council refused per
mission to move the tracks further awa;
from the tjreek. The council agrees to see
that piling or other precautions are taken
to keep the tracks from being precipitated
Into Indian creek. Alderman Weaver
thlnka that ao aoon as the dredge has had
an opportunity to work the danger from
oreek encroachment on the tracks will
have been obviated.
While Upper Broadway Is blockaded Con
tractor Wlckham will keep Oak atreet as
clear from dirt and stone as It Is at the
present time and -when the' new paving
goes down the street car tracks will be
moved further from the curb so that teams
may Ease between the sidewalk and the
tracks. The moving of the street car
tracks at the Oak street curve 1!I silence
a couqIb of prospective suits against the
city.

Six hundred children and a goodly supply
of parents sang, yelled and ate to their
hearts content at Manawa yesterday, when
the annual DeLong industrial picnic . was
given.
Rev. Henry DeLong, who has given al
most his whole time for the last few year
to the children, had all his charges and a
lot of strangers when the special cars
started on their circular route to the lake.
Four large cars were required to transport
the army of children, to many of whom It
waa the only outing of the year. Onoe at
the lake the confines of 'Shady Grove were
Inadequate and the troops of children
scattered all over the park. Late In the
afternoon - -they all- gathered around the
tables, ' where members of the Women's
Christian Temperance union grew
astounded at the capacity of the young
sters. The DeLong trolley rides have be
come epochs In the minds of many of the
poorer children of the city, and are made
possible by numerous citizens through the
efforts of Bov. Henry DeLong.
Inspeetor Walts for Salary.
J. Lundby, Inspector of meats and vege
tables, has a grievance against the city
and is wondering when nls pay day cornea.
Lundby was sppolnted under the new ad
ministration and the grocers' association
pays half at his $60 monthly salary, jhe
Inspector is supposed to see that the pur
chasing pubUc gets food which is free from
germs and is a member of the, police force,
Last month the administration forgot to
put the meat man on the payroll and It
took a special meeting of the city council
for Lundby to get a warrant. His salary
was overlooked for the current month and
no meeting of the council has been called.
The discrepancy Is between the chief of
police and the city auditor, with both of
them standing pat.- In the meantime
Lundby Is tasting spoiled bananas like any
other policeman, but Is unable to -get a
city warrant. The grocers' association haa
already turned Its portion of the monthly
salary over to the city and the officer does
not expect financial relief until the laat of
the month.

Our stock of Sterling Silver Mounted Knives nnd Forks being too large, we wish to
reduce it in order that we may make room for a new stock later on. These knives and forks
are of the finest grade of sterling silver, strictly first class goods, designed from the latest
patterns, and are an excellent article to use as a present their quality being beyond ques

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. 6. (Special.) The
general effect of the adoption of a policy
of publicity in state affairs is being made
manifest in the way county officials In
Iowa chafe under the rigid requirements
of a law which was passed by the legisla
ture two years ago requiring publication of
county financial statements annually In
pamphlet form. In some counties of the
state this law has been complied with
cheerfully, and, in fact, in many of the
best governed counties of the state the
custom had already been established. Re
cently the.secretary of the state executive
council sent out a circular letter to all
county auditors requesting that they for
ward to the state officials copies of the pub
lished reports for this year, and Indicating
that copies would be furnished the commit
tee on retrenchment and reform of the next
legislature. About . sixty of the county
auditors responded promptly. Many others
have Ignored the request, and It la be
lieved that aome of -the county officials
believe there la no penalty for failure to
publish,' but this Is not the case: The fact
Is that a good many county officials do not
want publication in intelligible form of the
Items of expense In -their respective coun
ties and they have been doing everything
In their power to bring this law Into dis
repute, so that It will be repealed and
the policy of publicity In public accounts
will be dropped. An Investigation la to
be made to determine what counties liave
failed to publish the reports.

claims. .

clares he will kill hla friends. Blepa were
being .takm here to prevent his releaae
from the prison. He killed Frank Kahler.

Saya Banker Did Not Die.
A sensational atory gained currency In
Colfax today to the effect that Banker
George Wooda, who committed suicide laat
December, did not In fact kill himself, but
that he had been aeen once In New York
and once In Canada; that his funeral waa
all a fake, and that frlenda were In com
munication with him. Investigation of the

A PART Of COMPETITION
The man who is wise knows enough to advertise, be
cause he knows advertising has become a permanent feature
of competition. The man who does not realize this fact
and act accordingly fals to meet one of the most important .
phases of competition:
No business is so good but that judicious advertising
will make it better, and no business can be so poor but that
advertising, when in conjunction with proper business
methods, will make a decided improvement.
The first thing necessary to make advertising pay is to
understand your proposition, study your business and then
learn the different methods of advertising. And when you
have mastered this you will know what to advertise how
to advertise and WHERE to advertise. -
Then, too, it is well to keep a record of your advertising.
This is an easy matter. Get a book suitable for the purpose
and when your ad appears in any medium clip it out and
paste it in this book, write the name of the medium in which
it appeared and the date on the margin. These clippings
i are good for future reference, for if an ad proves to bex
' ceptionally good you may be able to repeat it with good
results.
Every unselfish person desires to give credit where
credit is due and to help others to the extent he can without
injury to himself. We thereby suggest the above method,
in order to help those whose business lacks one of the essen
tials of competition. -For when they shall have reached the
summit of success they will then be enabled to intelligently
advise their friends to use Bee Want Ads. This helps us.

In a casual way with her. As they ap
proached the houae Mra. McLaughlin
loticed a man come up the road and atop
at the residence. She aaid, "Who la that,
Mra. Huttertleld?" The latter, considerably
agitated, replied, "Why, It's Charlie.'.' Mra.
McLaughlin, knowing of their previoua
trouble and not wanting to mix In with
their a (Talis, turned away and went home.
Mra. McLaughlin waa the last person in
the neighborhood to see Mra. Butterneld

girl then said the satchel was kept In a ;
closet right by the bed In an adjoining ,

was possible, for him to sleep through the, , .
noise and not know his wife was In the ,

eight miles away. The little daughter la '
sure It waa t or 4 o'clock when she was ' '
awakened, as It waa getting light In the A
