THE EDWARD BABB CASE.
Th Testimony, Arromenii, Etc.
Guilty of Simple Assault, Hays
Ibe Jury.
We take the following from the
Butte, Montanu, Dally Iulemiouutalu,
of October 1st:
Frank Weldon waa tho only witness
examined by the state yesterday In the
Bubb case, and on the announcement
of Mr Booth that the prosecution
would oll'or no more direct testimony,
the defendant, Edward Bubb, waa put
on the Bland. Bubb told a very
tralght and plausible story, lie told
of the troubles between Weldon and
himself previous to Die shooting, and
aid he had had all kinds of foul ab
heaped upon him by Weldon. On the
evening of the trouble he met Weldon
In front of Himon Hauewlrth's saloon
and Invited him In to take something,
but Weldon wild he waa on his way to
the Combination and aald they would
go there. They started down the alley
together and after proceeding a short
distauce Weldon turned to witness
and said: "I have got you now where
I waut you, you ."
When witness realized the situation,
he Jumped and told Weldon he was
aruitd. The latter, however, followed
up and struck witness, and put his
hand to bis hip pocket as If to draw a
8un, and then witness fired at Wei
on. Witness said further that he had
heard repeatedly that Weldon had
threatened him and as he also heard
that Weldon had shot a tnuu In Colo
rado he wax afraid of him. Weldon
had accused witness of being a thief
and caused him to lose his lob. Witness
said he was afraid of Weldon and
wheu he was Invited te go in the alley
lie thoUKbt his life was In danger.
George Morgan was the next wit
ness. He testified that Weldon told
hlin to teh Jiubb to heal himself
there was going to be trouble. Witness
fluid he knew Jtubb well and that he
was a quiet, Inoffensive mid peaceable
man.
Frank Bulgloss, 1) It Mlllu-and Har
ry Oduuis all testified to the good
character and xuceuble nuture of
jiano.
The trial of the assault caseaitulnst
Edward liabb was resumed In Judge
BiM-er's court this niorniug.
Frank Weldon, the complaining
witness, was recalled by tUe defense.
Witness said ho did lint recollect
whether or not he had mado a demon
stration as If to draw a weoon at the
nine or llie trouble, but lie might nave
done so. lie was not close enough to
grab defendant when the shot was
tired. Witness told M K Hind, the
next day after the eliootiug, that it
would be no satisfaction to hlin to send
Jlulib to IVcr Lodge, but It would give
nun great pleasure to administer a
good thrashing to hlim
It was mutually agreed between the
opposing coun sel that a reixirter on a
morning paer would testify that on
the evening of the shooting Weldon
admitted that he Invited Kabb to wulk
In the alley, and that this evidence
could bo considered as given.
Miss Mauirle Kellev knew Mr Wei
don In Dublin gulch where he was a
cook. His character waa good as fur
as sue knew.
Joseph McGovern, O 15 Sherman
and v H Davey testified to the good
cliaiacter of Weldon.
Weldon was recalled by the prosecu
tion and asked If he had ever run one
Baldwin out of the kite en witli a
butcher knife. Witness aald he had
not. Nor could he remember having
told llnbb that he (witness) "laid out"
two Chinamen In Colorado or Utah
and was told by the boss that he could
hold his Job hs long as he wished if he
handled tho help in that way. Wit
ness could not recall that he told Bubb
of a shooting affair witness had been a
party In in Colorado, but admitted that
lie wus In tho habit of telling fish sto
ries. The testimony closed here and Mr
I tooth made a short argument to the
Jury defining the law In the case and
calling attention to the fact tlint theie
were no eye witnesses to the affair. He
euld the testimony was conflicting and
he would make no comment, but
would leave It entirely to the Jury to
Judge what weight should be giveu to
the ditlcrent stories.
Mr Shaw then addressed the Jury on
behalf of the defendant. He reviewed
all the circumstances of theshootii.g
aud the relatione existing between the
two men prior to the assault. He
spoke for an hour in an eloqtieut and
convincing vein and evidently made a
good Impression on the Jury.
Mr Booth mado a abort closing
speech ami after the court had given
the Instructions the case was given to
the Jury aud tho noon recess taken.
The jury lu the Hubb rase came In at
8:15 o'clock, not having been able to
reach a verdict. Judge Speer asked
theiuifthey disagreed on a matter of
law or evidence. Tho foreman replied
that It was a matter of evidence, and
theludgo then turned them over to
the balllf and they were locked up
again. They will very likely be kept
out all night if they do not come to
some understanding before bed time.
8IMPI.K ASSAULT.
Atrorney W B Shaw, who so ably
defended Babb writes us under date of
October 2: "In the liabb case, the
Jury after being out all night brought
lu a verdict of simple assault. Highest
penalty being a tine of f "0 Bubb is
Jubilant over the result."

charge was brought by Dr II Mitchner

A Boy Killed. Such will be the
heading of a news Item in the (Jcard
one of these days if the boys of Eu-
?:ene do not desist from their reckless
tabltof catching on behind vehicles
that are being driven along the street.
Two boys within the past week have
barely escaped being crushed by
wagons they were trying to Jump Into
from behind. Ono in climbing into
tlieeud of a rapidly driven wagon,
slipped aud fell into the wheel and
was thrown to the ground with such
force as to knock the breath out of him
for a minute and it was only by rare
good luck that lie escaped getting his
neck, or at least, his limbs broken.
The other hoy lu attempting to climb
on a wagon Just as the driver was
backing it up, fell and came near hav
ing the heavy wheel pass over bis
body. lu such a narrow street as
Willamette ttreet, crowded with teams
and cars, teamsters are kept busy
watching lu front of them and have uo
tin e to keep looking behind to see If a
small boy is hanging on aud liable at
any moment to full and be run over.
The drivers do all they can to keep the
boys off their waitous and if some
hopeful should be canied, one of these
days, home to his do lug parents all
crushed and mangled, It will be a stern
and sad reminder that hinging ou be
hind a wagon Is uo place for a boy to
ride.

made for a good sized crop.
