George Dregor, the first witness ou tho part of tho prosecution, testified in substance as follows: Saw Dixon at tho Oak Creek Sunday school. Sunday school closed about 12 o'clock. After Sunday school I went over to Mr. Thorn ton's. Went to tbe ball grounds, about four miles from church with Rice. Saw tho difficulty between Dixon and Rice. It was over tho ball game. Dixon asked f the umpire "called a foul out." The wpiro answered "Yes." "Then G d n it. why don. t you put him cut?" aid Dixon. Rice said: "May ba you had better umpire this case," and Dison roplied, "I can umpire over you." At that remark of Dixon's Rice began to pull off i.ia coat got it parily off when D.xon fired tho first shot, striking Rice oa the left side a little in frout of the left arm. Rice turned to the right and took two or three steps when Dixon shot him the second time just above tl.e left hip. Owen Atterhury testified: I wa at Mt. Scott, was acquainted with both Dixon and Rice; was at the ball game that day, Sunday, Juue 14; was lying down hen first shot was tired; got up and saw Dixen fire second shot ; am constable of ,tho precinct; arrested Dixon and look pistol from him ; there ere tno or three cartridges in the pistol; Dixon taid he dune it iu self defense; Rice was shot in the left shoulder and in the back ; was 15 to 20 feet from Dixon when he shot. Dixon said to me, "I was justifiable because Rice would have jumped on me;" he said 'T did it iu self defense; be was going to jump on me." The shot? were in c!o.e succession, the first wan while I wa3 ly ing down, the second as soon after a I could rise, and 1 rose a quick a possi ble. Charles Barkc testified substantially as aoove as to the commencement of the ehooting. Dixon shot Rice the fust time while in the act of pulling off his coat, in the left breast. Rice then tamed from Dixon and moved about feet when Dixon fired the second shot hitting Rice in the bacx just above the iett bip. Time between shols was about a second. Rice was about 10 feet from Dixon when Dixon fired the second time. CROSS-EXAMINATION. Umpire Will Dixon ruled Dregor out on a foul. James Dixon, the defendant, asked wbv Dregor was not put out. Rice said. "Maybe you'd better um pire this game." Dixon replied "I can umpire over you, you son-of-a bitch At this Rice began to take off his cost, when Dixon drew his p'.stol and shot Rice in the Ie't breast. Rice turned half round and moved off about 10 or 12 feet when Cixon fired again, hitting him in the back. He said: "You can't jump on me." Mv age is 25 years have known Rice about 12 years. I wa3 at Union Rock church in tbe forenoon Had my gun at church. Went to the ball grounds the game had commenced when I got there. Tied my horso to tree and set my gun down by a tree. The difficulty occurred about an hour after I got there. I was on the out edge of tbe ball grounds when the affray be gan. Dixou moved after Rice 3 or I feet after tho first shot before firing tbe sec ond time. Mace Tipton testified: I live on Deer Creek, was at the ball game June 11th last. I am acquainted with Rice and Dixon. Dregor was at the bat he mado aoul. There waj a dispute over the question. Dixon asked the umpire if Dreger was out on a foul. Umpire said yea. Dixon then said: tiod damn it why don't you put him out?'' Kice spoke up and said: "May ha you'd better umpire this game." Dixon re torted; "lean umpire over you, damn you. Kico men uegnu to pun oit tns coat when Dixon shot him in the left breast. Rice then turned away from Dixon and made a few steps when Dixou fired again hitting him in tho back :ilove ho left hip. tines. Did Dixou give any reason why he did it? Ana. He said tho damued ton-of a- bitch shunt jump on me. I was with Rico that day at Tim At- tcbery't). Tim Attebery was scorer for tho Mt Scot nine and Will Dixon for the Deer Creek nine. Dregor belonged to the Mt. Scott boys party. The in quest was held at Tint Atteberj's. I did not say nt the time of the ehooting. "Boya let us mob hint aud hang him." Stephen Settle testified about the b.iuio as to tho shooting. Clinton Atterbury's testimony. 1 am acquainted with both parties. In reply to tho question, Did not Jim Dixon carry a pistol? Said yee, hu gave it to mo to hold onco while ho tied up his ehoea. 1 asked him what ho carried that pistol for? He said that Chnrloy Rice had "threatened to beat hell out of niu and I might want to defend mysolf." Forest BlakcleyB testimony. 1 was about six or eight feet oil" when tho shooting was douo. tJaw Dixon ehool Rice, who was in the act of taking off his coat while iheru was some trouble over or about the ruling of Iho umpire at tho game, llicu went about six or eight feet after tin first shot before Dixon fired h:;iiii. I ui well acqu.iit.k-d with Rice. I was unu of the playeis. I live one mile from John Dixon's. I ttked uuipire if Dregor was out? He answered yea. Ihcn Jim Dixon asked: Why don't you put hitn out? (Here the eamo colloquy in substance took place between Dixon and Rice and the account of tho ehooting substantially tho same as the preceding witness.) Dr. K. L. "Miller, coroner, testified : I am a physician and surgeon and cor oner of Douglas county. I held an in quest ou body of Cbas. Rico last Juno the 15th, I believe, Rice had been shot by a gun or pistol. One ball entered the left hrcaat and ranging down on au an gle of about 30 degrees passing through tho body. Another shot entered the back just above the left hip I cut it out. The ball that entered the breast passed through tho heart and was of fatal character. Here tho state rested. witnesses ron the defense. 1'. C. Atterberyr Was acquainted with Rice and Dixon ; was at a ball game at my pUce June 14th last. I was tally ing for the Mt. Scott boys.

A dispute arose, when Charles Rice said to Dixon You had better umpire the game.' hen Dixon eaid, 1 can umpire over you." At that Kico began to pull oit his coat in a threatening attitude. Dixon immediately drew his revolver aud shot Rico twice, the first time in the left breast and next in the back above left hip. I asked Jim D.xon why ho did it? He replied: "Eccausc I wan't going to allow that big son-of-a-bitcb to jump on me." (Hero the coat and vest were xhibited and identified as iIicec belonging to Rice at the time of the tragedy, There were no bullet holes iu either, the inference being that they were thrown back on his body at the time of tbe shooting and were out of range. Qiiestion. Did Dregor say to you that he believed Dixou was justified iu shoot ing Kice because he believed nice would do him bodily harm? Ans. Yes. I no witness explained how thu quar rel between this boy Dixon and Chas Rice originated. It grew out of tbe price of sheep shearing, tince which lime there has been a feud between them. Witness knew. Lire's reputation in the neighborhood was not gcod. He was a fast friend and bitter enemy and was rather quarrelsome. To question of Olberman, "Did you sue Dixon fire the first shot?"
