DANGTER SIGNALS.
An exchange citeB an instance, bow reason
emetimes deeerta its throne, very strange in
ttuine urn
aspects, but
the more
remarkable
in itd cause;
a cause
w'Mich gives .
warning to
many ob
stinate People. The
ia that
of a gentle
mtin, who,
while seated
at his din
n er-tabl.
urrounaea
by his family, suddenly became frantic, and
brandiBhing a carving knife drove m n
and children fronx'jUie house. In an Instant
he had become a raving maniac. The cause
wna said to be an unremitting pain In n
head, which he suffered for months, (a danger-signal
unheeded), which finally resulted
in congestion and in overturning his brain. He
never recovered. A similar case is the follow
ing, -which however, under different treat
ment resulted in saving and prolonging a life.
Mr. Sam'l B. Shiplor, Paragon, Indiana,
writes July 80. 18KS. that he had suffered with
pains in his head from sunstroke for 22 years,
which were oured by St. Jacobs Oil and have
remained so four years. The final result
might have been in his case, without thissure
relief, death or something worse an incur
able mania. Congestion takes place in the
muscles as well as the nerves and rheuma
tism is traceable, very oftea. directly to a con
gested condition. I'or instance, a sudden,
draft of air to the heated body causes a chili
and the chill produces congestion.

T10N. (Continued from last wevk.)
SHERIFF HOWARD ON THE STAND.
I saw Ed.'s body aiter he was killed.
The bullet entered on the left side, just
missing the left hip and came out on the
rijjht side a little lower down. I did
not examine his clothes.
DR. LEWIS SWORN.
"I was in the saloon iu Lexington
when Ed. Jones was shot. The first
thing I saw of the trouble was when I
heard Ed. ask Harper if he was going to
cash those checks. Don't know what
Harper said. Harper seemed to be lean
ing over the bar. Ed. struck him sever
al times and then Newt, struck him on
the back of the head. Ed. kept on
for a little while audlihinkNewt. struck
him on the left twice. Then Ed. struck
him over th9 head two or three times
with a cigar-box. Ed. jumped up on
the bar .and commenced kicking him.
The last time his foot went up it missed
and he fell off on the floor. I got up
at that time aud Ed. grabbed a bottle.
The next I saw of Harper, he was back
ot the stove. He pulled out his pistol
and said, 'Stand back or I'll shoot.' I
saw Dave Porter have hold of Ed. Jones
trying to get him to stop. I thiuk when
Harper said that, he fired. The first shot
missed Ed. because I saw him going to
ward Harper. Ed. kept on towards
Harper and I did not see him again un
til he was iu the chair. It looked like
the next shot went into the floor. I saw
the stove go down. Dou't know who
did it. I saw all that was going on aud
did uot see Harper draw a gun while at
the bar. He bad his hands on the ooun
ter trying to protect his face. Did not
notice what position he was in when
Newt, struck him on the back of the
head. I think the first shot hit Ed . The
next one went into the floor. I think
it must have been a quarter of a minute
between the first shots. Ed. was about
five or six feet from Harper when the
first shot was fired. Heurd the struggle
going on about the pistol but dou t kmiw
who were eugaged iu it.
"Ed. borrowed two dollars from me
some time before this and says Til pay
you the night of the party.' I said 'all
right.'
"When the night of the party came I
met him and he said if I did uot need it
he would wait till some other time to
pay me, as be did not have enough to
pay me then. I told him all right to go
ahead and use it. I told liiua not to get
drunk, and he said he would not. Dou't
thiuk he was drunk. I supposed at the
time that he was hit twice. Since that I
thiuk it was the same ball.
"I did not know but he was struck
senseless and told them to carry him up
to the drug store.
"I spoke to him ouce and his bead
rolled over just like a mau bleeding to
death internally, but I could see no
blood. Ou the right side the buliet hole
was the larger."
IAY SHIPLEY SWORN.
"I was in the saloon playing a game
of pool with Lee Matlook. The first I
saw of it, I heard some little fuss at the
bar. Fheu I looked around I heard
something about "those checks" aud saw
Ed. striking Harper. He struck him
awhile with his fists and then I saw him
pick up the cigar box aud hit him with
it. Newt, struck him a few times -and
Ed. jumped upon the bar. All this time
Harper had his face between his hands.
Ed. got down off of the bar, and about
the time he got down Harper staggered
across to the other side of the room. I
believe Newt, hit him while going over
there. When he got to the other side of
the room he fired three shots. Newt,
then got hold of the pistol. I saw him
trying to shoot Harper. Just after
I went out
'Don't know whether he tried to
Harper while he w as on the bar or
that
kick
not.
The first shot went into the saloon. I
think the second one was the one that
killed him. When he went to the stove
his face was covered with blood."
HARRY KEYTE SWORN.
"I own the saloon where this homi
cide occurred. There had been a big
orowd of boys in there drinking who had
come down from the dance. Tbey had
just gone out and the bar was full of
glasses and bottles. Harper was stand
ing at the end ot the bar when Ed. and
Newt. Jones, Arthur Minor and one or
two other boys came in. I don't know
whether Ed. called Harper up to take a
drink or not. He was standing there and
Newt, called for Blackberry. Ed. says,
'Let's have a drink.' I set out the black
berry bottle and glasses. They never
drank it. It was sitting there the next
morning. Ed. was standing next to
Harper and he said to him, 'You had bat
ter pay me that dollar for those chips.'
Harper said something. Don't know
what it was. Ed. then pulled oif his
coat and jumped right at him and com
menced hitting him with both fists. Newt,
then came in. Ed. picked up a box of
cigars and threw it at him. Ed. picked
up a bottle and commenced hitting Har
per with the flat side of it. I went
around the bar and told them I wanted
them to stop. Ed. then jumped up on
the bar Bnd kicked Harper loose. I
think he got down at the end of the bar
I went around and laid my hand on his
arm and he wheeled around and drew
the bottle on me. At the same time
Newt said, 'You had better stand back
and get out of this.' I was standing
back by the billiard table by the side of
Dave Porter. Newt, and Ed. were hit
ting and kicking him. A ttnnK tne
glass that Ed. had in his hand dropped
behind the bar when Ed. jumped up.
They were going over toward tbe stove.
Dave Porter said that it ought to be
stopped. We started up and Harper
was up against the wall. 1 thought
they were whipping him then. Dave
and I started over there and got to the
end of the billiard table. I saw the gun.
Harper was up against the wall. I jump
ed back to get out of range of the pistol.
Three shots were fired in quick succes
sion. Newt got around behind the
stove and wrenched the revolver out of
Harper's hands and commenced
hitting him over the head with
it. Harper started for the back
door and Newt, was following him and
hitting him all the time. Harper
went out the back door and I followed
and shut the door and bolted it. Went
baok to Ed. They were loosening his
clothes. They started to carry him to
the drug store. Five or six fellows came
up from the dance hall and wanted to
know what had happened. I told them
and thev took their drinks and went
out. After they had all gone to the drug
store I locked the door and bluwed out
the light. The constable came up aud
wauted to kuow where Harper was.
Told hira I did not know. Told him I
thought he was out at the baok door."
JOifN keanet's statement.
Three other parties and myself ware
engaged in a game of cards at the time
the difficulty occurred.
"I did not see the first part of the row.
They were iu arr altercation at the bar.
It seems that 'my attention was not
drawn to it because there were some
parties in previous to that, who were
making considerable noise. Thought
they were the same ones back again.
Paid no attention for some time. Dr.
Lewis was looking toward the bar and I
called his attention to the game aud told
hiui to play his hand. He remarked
that there would be trouble there.
"About the time that I lookedup, Har
per was standing orcr by the end of the
bar. The next thing I saw Ed. Jones hit
him on the right side of the face and de
mand a dollar. After he struck him a
time or two I think Newt, struck him.
First Newt, and then Ed. would hit him.
After that Ed. hit him several times.
I saw him hit Harper with the cigar-box.
He kicked him two or three times in the
face. Harper then turned aud went over
to the stove. After he got behind the
stove he fired. Aftor the first shot I saw
the pistol. Someoue made the remark
that we had better get out of here. It
is my impreision that he fired three
times. As we got hp I turned to see if
he had called anyone to help him, and
met him going to the baek door. Newt,
was following and just as he got to the
door the pistol fell out of his hands and
struck on the floor. "
Cross-questioning failed to change the
statement, or bring out any new faots,
harper's testimony.
"In the first place I was sittingon the
table warming my feet when the Joues
boys came in. Ed. invited me up to take
a drink with him, the two Jones boys on
my right aud Walt. Richardson on my
left. About that time Ed. said, 'You
better pay me that dollar I won from
you.' I asked, 'What dollar?' I had
no more than said that when he had his
coat off and commenced striking me.
He first hit me with his fists and I thiuk
he hit me with a cigar-box. I had my
head down to keep them from hitting
me in the face. Did not waut to fight.
I told Ed. I thought he ought to .quit.
I did oot try to fight and he had nothing
to fight about. He just kept right
ahead. Just about that time I noticed
him step around to the end of the bar.
I just changed hands, I had my left
baud over the bar, just as I was telling
him to quit. Then he came back. Don't
think he kicked me. He came around
to the other side. Shortly after that I
was forced loose. Don't know what
took place for a fow seconds. I came to
myself agaiu and went over to the other
side of the house. I thought they would
quit then, but I saw them coming again.
As soon as I saw them coming, I said,
'Stand back. Stay away.' at the same
time pulling out my gun. They came
right on. Oue of them got hold of the
gun. Thought it was Ed. .He came
right up facing the gun. When I let
him get hold of the gun it seemed like
it went off. Dont know which way it
went. I carry my guu in my belt, or
waistband of my pants. After I got
clear across the room I pulled it out.
"I think Ed. got hold of the gun first,
appeared totae so. I thiuk that both of
them had hold of the gun. Appeared to
me that I was on the floor. I think the
gun went off once after I was ou the
floor. After that the last hold I had of
the gun was with my first fing&r. In a
second or two I got up and went out.
About the time I was half way I heard
someoue scream, the only thing I heard.
When I ran behind the store the blood
was running over my face. 1 thiuk I
received the bruises before the shooting,
When I left the saloon tbe blood was
runmug over my fao so that I could
not see. When I left the saloon I went
to tbe hotel. Had some trouble getting
a room. Got a room finally and had
just sat down on the bed and had got
something on my head when the con
stable came and arrested me. Took me
to an outhouse and went off and left me.
He was gone only a little while and
came back with my coat. He said he
would go and see about getting
me some covers and hide me somewhere.
I wanted him to take me over to Hepp
ner. I had a team in the livery stable.
He seemed to be afraid to do that. Heard
two or three parties comiug, and did not
want to be seen, so I pulled out. Tried
to go to Ben swaggarts. Had some
trouble getting there. Was about dark
wheu I got there on Friday after the
trouble. He took me over to Heppner.
1 have been m this country a Dttle over
four months. I was dealing poker there
that evening. Had a little trouble over
some checks but it was nothing particu
lar. Ed. had some checks and he cash
ed half of them. He got the cheoks from
another man. He had about a dollars
worth left, I think, aud I wanted him to
go on and play them. I think he left the
table once and finally came back and
played and lost them.
I was warming my feet, and not at
the bar when they came in. Ed. said,
"Come have a drink." I went up but
did not take a drink. He said nothing
when I came up to fhe end of the bar.
I was talking to Walt. Riohardson
when Ed. said, "You had better pay me
that dollar I wou from you." I asked
"What dollar," and then he took off his
coat. He began striking me. I did not
step back for I thought I could not get
out of the way. I thought the best thing
I could do was to hold on to the bar.
Saw Mr. Keyte behind the bar. Don't
think I saw Mr. Porter. When the pis
tol was wrenched out of my hands I
started to go out of the back door. Di,j
not see Newt follow me."
Further cross-questioning added noth
in to testimony given.
Ben Swaggart was called to the stand
and stated that Harper arrived at his
place about dark on the afternoon of the
29th.
