The examination was held in the Council Chamber befor Justice Quartod, and long before th opening of tha a very large crow had assembled at and about the Clt Hall. When the doors were thrown open the spectators rushed in, com pietnly filling the body of the hall. Th prisoner, accompanied by his mother sister, brother and guardian, wa brought in promptly at the hour fo trial. The widow and daughter were dressed in mourning. The manner the prisoner was calm and self possess ed.

State's Attorney MoNnlty appearec for the people and Hon. A. W. Hop for the prisoner. The prosecuting attorney opened case by calling the wldew, Mrs.

being 1 am the widow of Jonas Johnson an live at Tfood River. I gave evidence before a Coroner's jury to the cause of the death of my husband, Jonas John son. Late in the afternoon of the shoot Ing of my husband I saw my sen Charles Carr: On the day of the death I went to town to get. some money in order to pay taxes. I had some word with my husband about plowing i meadew and he said be did Hot care for arr or myself and abused Carr as hard as he could.

Jonas threatened to hit me. He was sober having onli drank a little elder. He started after my son. He said he would kil every 'one of us if we with his plus. He was passing his band before me as I stood in the corner he kitchen and used violent language.

did not say at the coroner's inquest that Jonas threatened to kill every one of us; I did not see the shooting, that took place outside the house. After an argument between the Attorneys as to. tbe evidence, Mr. Hope cross examined Mrs. said The farm belongs to myself and children.

Jonas had in other years ilowed the meadow. The land belongs 0 the Carr heirs. Deceased was my second husband. The talk between FOURS and myself took place about p. m.

on Monday. Charley came in after leanngthe dispate'and interfered. Jonas said the dispute was none of his business. Charley then left the house and Jonas followed. I heard Charley say outside the door "stand back or I wtl shoet." Sims sworn'and deposed: was in the old kitchen at the back and heard Charley say" stand back Jonas or 1 will shoot." Almost instantly then tb cap snapped and right after that th shot was fired.

I first heard a cap snap and then saw the shooting. I did no hear 'Jonas say anything to Charley nor did he have any weapons in his lands. Cross-examined. two men were to the west of where I stood about 80 feel, Charley once warned Jonas to stand back but Jonas continued to advance. States Attorney McNulty rested the case tor the people at this stage, Mr.

Hope then called the accused, Chas. Carr, being sworn said: 1 am the party who shot Jonas Johnson On the day of the shooting. I oame Burger's, and got to the beuse about 6p.m. I beard Jenas talking in a loud tone just before I entered the kitchen. In the kiuben there were Jonas, my mother, and sister.

Jonas abused us all and I went to the summer kitchen for my gun to defend myself Jonas kept coming towards me and 1 told him to stand back. I snapped a cap and theft fired tho gun. I was in fear of bodily harm. did threaten to strike my mother. When I interfered he called me a I knew where the gun was because it was always kept in the kitchen.

Jonas was two steps from the kitchen when snapped tbe first cap and 25 'eet when I snapped the seconc and shot him. Jonas boat me abou two years ago and a year ago he choked me to make me -mind him- I was not laid up from tbe choking. Prior the shooting Jouas threatend sink mother, my sister and myself in the soa Jona.8 was of bad disposition, drunk or sober. I was four feet from Jouas when I shot him. Ho made a grab for tbe gun.

Johnny Carr, I was at the house when Charley oamo home on tbe mule. I put up the mule am oame to tho bouse and saw Cbarluy come out of tbe kitchen door and Jonas after him. Charley ran and got tho gun Jonas went after him, Charley snapped a cap at him. Then Charley said "stand back or I 'will shoot you." Ho then fired and shot Jonas. I was av the cor uer of the bouse when the shooting wok plooo, 4jjdjcl not soo Jonas have any weapon infire hands.

Hon. Chas A. Herb handed In of tho premises whore thu shooting took plaoomnd deposed: I am the guardian ot thu defendant and the minor children. Tho laud belongs to Curr leirs aud not to Jonas, Jonas was a man who would do anything for a friend but ho would be, I eonsidur, a danger OUB enemy. As Mr.

Herb was giving some further particulars as to the character of ibe duveaned tho States' Attorney rose and stated that ha would pro- Deed no further with the oitso, and tbe discharged the crowd did not appear to facl al ftr stand only very ttiowlv dls parsed. The State's Attorney was evidently opinion that no jury could readily found to couviat the prisoner and acte accordingly. Thh abrupt termiaatlo of tho preliminary examination cause considerable surprise. WAS. Oapt, Sparks has received anothe letter from Mr.

In this connection it is well to recal tbe fact that natural gas has alread been discovered in this locality Some three feur years agi a man dug a well on tbe farm John Brown, on- the road be tween Fosterburg and Bethalto, anc struck a vein of natural gas.

It wa Ignited and burned fiercely, the flame shooting up to a height that thi owner of the farm feared that bis build ings would be burned. He summonec help from his neighbors and the we! was and has never been reopened. Of course no one knows whether, not, tho gas is in sufficient quantity to be ot value, but that it ex ists there seems be no doubt. Tbe matter should certainly be investigated Coal.
