Two hundred people, many of them women with children, asked for permission to sleep on the floor at the Catholic church, the court house and the school house during: last night.

The officers granted permission. Despite the endeavor to soothe and calm prevalent hysteria, the people generally are under the spell of horror and business has been abandoned.

Sheriff McCullough thinks he can protect his prisoners, if the militia help him take them to the Jail at Goodland, in spite of the threats made by the settlers. At the conclusion of the evidence given by the state this afternoon, the attorney for the Deweys created some surprise by announcing that the defense would not present anv evidence, fearing that their cause might be inured thereby.

Justice Hall then ordered the men committed to all at Goodland. Their trial will be held early in the fall. Interest was manifested in the trial all day because of the persistent refusal of the cowboys from the Dewey ranch to answer any of the questions put to them by the attorneys for the state. Warrants are out for most of the men called as witnesses by the state from the Dewey ranch, and their attorneys ordered them not to answer any questions, hs thereby they would incriminate themselves.

ing argument for the defense. Two lawyers were prevented from getting to blows by officers of the court. Attorneys Oneal and Golden for the defense and Hurst and Marcum for the prosecution made their arguments. The argument of Thomas Marcum, a brother of the victim was delivered under the most impressive circumstances. During the arguments today the prisoners were intensely interested.

Jett was apparently unmoved either by the touching words of Thomas Marcum or the earnest appeal of Mr. Hurst, man, and intimated thai it would not be good for the attorney to question him further.
