MRS, OSBORN TELLS OF SHOOTING MAN tUlatea Tbrlllliiar Storr orr Tw Mo Who tame to Her Horn at Klftht Sndrtealr Left. Th govrrnmnt cloned Its tcntlmony In the land fencing cane Monday nftornnnn with the testimony of Mr. Hrnslo Onliorn, who was recalled for re-dlrect examination. Bhe corroborated In every renpect the te rW.AM hv tinr hnahAnri. Theodore imii'iij it,'-i - - i Oshorn, laKt Friday, relative to his troubles wltn me ivrauffpn, cunniimiu n " sault upon him by John KrauRR In July, 1!W3, and the subsequent offer. that John Krause hnd made to him to make a filing under the Klnkald law for Krause, the latter to pay him J.V) for It, and whloh offer Mr. Osborn refused as unbuslnennHke. The most Interesting bit of testimony yet riven during tho hearing was Mrs. Osborn'S recital of the shooting episode, briefly referred to In District Attorney Baxter's opening statement to the Jury. The Incident happened In the latier part of September, 1603. Mrs. Osborn told the story as follows: "One night In the latter part of Septem ber, 19ns, while my husband and our son were away, only a crippled child who had come west with us being at the house wit me, I was awakened by the barking of our dog. I got up and heard some men outside, and recognized John Krause's voice and that of Boh Uttlck. I overheard them talking to the effect that Osborn and the boy had gone away and now they would drive me away. We lived In a aort of a barn, as our residence had not been completed. The doors were built In two sections, an upper and a lower half. I went to the door and listened. They came toward the door with what I thought to be a purpose of forcing it open. I got down the shot gun and sprang two shells Into It, I think they were No. 6 shot, and went to the door, got up on a chair and let go with both barrels. One of the men said: One of Them Is Miot. " Tm a If I ain't shot, and then they went away. I think he might have been probably eighteen Inches away when I shot. There was blood outside the door next morning and some blood about the post where they had tied their horses. I did not see John Krause until a week or two afterwards and did not see the other, Bob Llttlck until six weeks or two months' afterwards. He then had a bad scar at the back of his neck and It looked as If it had been made only a month or two before. I did not know Llttlck until after the shooting, but when I saw him two months afterwards I recognized his face as that of the man who was with John Kraus that night." On her cross-examination, which was very brief, Mrs. Osborn was asked If she ever talked with Bob Llttlck after the shooting? "No, I never talked with Bob about It," she replied, "for If ha was satisfied, I was." Mrs. Osborn's testimony was not shaken In the slightest by her cross-examination, and with the conclusion of her ex amination at S o'clock the attorneys for the government, announced that the state rested. The testimony for the defense will be started this morning. Whetstone on Stand. The next witness was Edward Whetstone, a small stock owner whose homestead Is Inside the Krause enclosure. Whetstone testified as to the existence of the Krause brothers' fence and that he was familiar with Its general course, and that It enclosed numerous tracts of public lands. There was some feeling between him and the Krause brothers over certain hay valley rights. He said the Krauses had, on sev eral occasions, taken up some of his cattle, alleging they were trespassing upon their range and hay preserves and on one occa sion had required him to pay $72 damages and at another time J15 damages before they would release his cattle. He told further of occasional quarrels between him self and John Krause. Whetstone's cross-examination was be gun shortly before noon. He admitted there had been some trouble between him self and the Krauses growing out of the hay meadows and that the Krauses had charged him with wilfully driving his cattle Into their hay meadows. He denied that he had cut any hay on Krauses' government land for himself, but admitted that he had at times cut hay for the Krauses. The only hay that he cut for himself was on his own land or lands that he had leased. BOY SAVED FROM DROWNING Yoath Snatched from Peril by Mf Gaard Holden at Court laad Beach. Through the prompt action of John Holden, life guard of the bathing depart ment at Courtland Beach, a boy was res cued from deep water Sunday afternoon and resuscitated In a short while. The boy did not give his name. In a thought less n anner the boy clung to the stern of a boat being rowed by a friend and was taken from the shallow water of the beach out Into deep water, where he released his hold. Not being able to swim, he sank and an alarm was Immediately given, Holden responding In a manner that called for credit. The boy was soon able to be taken home, not much worse for ttie experience.
