WAS
JUSTIFIED
But Preliminary Hearing Throws
No Light on. Lyon's Motive
In Shooting Gardiner
"Thla u one of tho ttraugest cases
I ever heard of." said District Attor
ney Bishop yesterday In speaking to
the court at the cIobo of tho exam
Inlng trial of Cap Welch for the
shooting of Claudo Lyons." It la a
mysterious case and I am utterly at
a loss from tho evidence produced
and from what I have been ablo to
find to get a AHtlsfactory solution to
the mystery. Hero we have a man
running Into a saloon . filled with
other men and who whips out a re-
volvcr and shoots down an unsus
pecting and apparently defenseless
man who Is supposed to be his frlond
Then In turn we have this man shot
down by another mun whom the evl-
dence'goes to show Is the defendant
In this trial but It Is curious clr
cumstanco that f a" that roomful
of mon who were thcro at tho time
of the shooting wo are unable to
find a single one who Is sure that
Welch fired tho shot or even the
second shot fired."
Evidence Show. Welch Justifiable.
The conclusion of the district at
torney after hearing the evidence in
tho examining trial of Cap Welch
sums up the case as it Is now and
at the same time shows utter lack
of a satisfactory nolutlon for tho af-
fray that has caused the death of
one man and the. infliction of a dan
gerous wound on another. Instead
of waiting till this morning for tho
preliminary heirlng both the state
and defense agreed to call the hear-
ing yesterday afternoon. But tho
light which this hearing was
peeled to throw on the caso was not
forthcoming. On the evldonce given
which was fairly complete Cap
Welch wis shown to have been
amply justified In shooting Lyons.
This tho prosecuting attorney admit
ted but from tho fact that the cane In
Its entirety Is not jet understood
he urged that Welch be bound over
on a small bond to await a full and
complete hearing before tho grand
Jury. This Justleo of tho Peace Hoi
man stated he was obliged to In a
murder cane and. the bond was ac-
cordingly fixed at the low figure of
$600. Welch easily secured bond
and la at liberty.
Wltnessca Examined.
For the preliminary hearing yes
terday six witnesses appeared for
the state. Many others were In tho
saloon at the tlmo or knew attend
ant circumstances but the six sum
moncd presented tho Important facts
In the case. Besides these witness-
es tho defense produced several
whose testimony bore on the char-
actor of the defendant and hit abil-
ity to make bond. Officers C. J.
Iluskey and Earnest. Hughes ap-
peared on the state's call besides
John Mlnat Ellis Elklns W. E. Cox
and Fitzgerald.
Huglioy time Lyons a Gun.
Lyons according to tho witnesses
had been in the saloon with the rest
of the crowd and had been drinking
some with the others. There had
been no apparent trouble between
Lyons and anyone else but a short
time before the shooting several of
tho men in tho ealoon saw Walter
Hughey give Lyons a revolver.
Ilughey it seems had hud a slight

W CH
difficulty with Gardiner but the evi-
dence does not show that It was of
a serious nature.
A few minutes later Lyons ran
Into "the front room of the saloon
from the rear and fter a few words
with Gardiner who was bending over
opening bottle of beer back of tho
bar leveled his revolver at the de-
fenseless man and fired. Gardiner
fell and Lyons wheeled waving his
smoking gun before the men in tho
room and with an oath ordered them
to stand back.
The men did "stand back" and to
Biich an extent that It seems no one
in the crowded room actually saw the
second shot which brought Lyons
down mortally wounded Welch at
tho end of tho bar had quickly picked
up a revolver kept there for einerg
encles and had shot Lyons.
Lyons Exonerated Welch.
All the evidence goes to show that
Welch was not concerned In the en
counter between Lyons and Gardiner
any' more than any other bystander
and that his action was one purely
of protection of himself and others
from apparent danger. Lyons felt
from the' first that ho was mortally
wounded and when Oflcer Earnest
Hughes reached the saloon to take
tho mon In charge Lyons called the
Officer to him and whlipered as well
as he could that "l'vo shot Charley
Gardiner and Cap Welch shot me
But don't let them hurt Welch be
oiuso.he wasn't to blame." This
statement is practically tho only ono
Lyons made.
Lyon Burled in Piiilao.
Last night the remains of Claude
Lyons were sent on the evening Den
ver train to Dallas where they will
be cared for and burled by his pa
rents. His sister Mrs. T. E. Stack
accompanied them. Lyons' own
family Is as much at a loss as Is the
public In the matter but tbey will
mako further endeavors t3 get an
explanation of tho affray.
Gardiner contlucs to Improve and
tho ehancey rc now decidedly In his
favor. Ills injury la extremely se
rlous however and he cannot be
considered out of Immediate danger
for several days yet.

WILSON BORROWED
FROM ROOMMATE
(From Thursday's Dally.)
Taking advantago of his room-
mate's absence on Labor Pay Wal-
ter Wilson a bricklayer returned to
their room and made preparation
for a "flying trip" to Fort Worth
or other dlstunt points. When the
roommate got back to the house he
discovered that a number of valuable
articles including the choicest part
of hli wardrobe was missing and
that Wilson was also out. An in-
quiry famished information from
people in the houie that Wilson had
departed In the direction of tho de-
pot carrying a grip and attired as
if for a Journey. The anxious room-
mate then dispatched word to Chief
of Police Snider In tho quickest time
possible nd Snider caught up with
the missing bricklayer on the even-
ing Denver which he had boarded
for his flying trip. When charged
with stealing the goods of his fellow
Wilson blandly explained that It was
all right that his roommate was a
"good fellow" and that he only bor-
rowed a few things for the trip.
T()e other party to the transac-
tion however took no such kindly
view of tho situation und called the
act of Wilson by a much harder
name. . On examination it was found
that Wlluon had on his roommate's
best suit was carrying his grip filled
with other belongings and had bor-
rowed a pocketful of change which
he found among the other man's
effects.
Under the circumstances Chief
Snider returned as much of the
property as could be found and
lodged Wilson in Jail to let the grand
Jury act on thU caso of borrowing.

One of the most luscious fruits of
Lubbock country Is the plump and
Juicy pig. From the day he bursts
forth ue thrives and ripens In a re-
markable manner In this balmy cli-
mate. No curcullo bores his skin to
mar his beauty with blemishes; no
boll weevil punctures his epidermis
to blight and wither him; tyi cank-
er worm Invades his Interior to cause
dry rot; no mould mars his beauty
but ho continues to grow and ripen
with each succeeding day until he
becomes a toothsome morsel for use
at home and a sound shipper for
abroad that pays larger dividends for
the care that has been bestowed up-
on him. Great Is the pig and great
Is thw country In which he flourishes.
Plant more pigs. Lubbock Leader.
The formal opening of a campiign

by two-cent fare declaration. The
office which Is In the balance Is eith-

that Mr. Colquitt the railroad com-
missioner now wants the Immediate

without the advlco or consent of any
of the foreign nations while Gover
nor Campbell wanted It a year ago.
Mr. Colquitt first wanted 'two and
one-half cent fares. He has shaved
his former estimate twenty per cent

makes a corresponding cut In his

Texas contains 19576076 acres of
Improved farm land and 106230.941
acres of unimproved land. The to
tal value of farm property Is f 962-
476273 and the Jtptaj animal valae
of farm products is .$239823344
which is a good deal more than Kan-
sas Missouri and Nebraska.
In 1906 the state produced 14-
126. 1S6 bushels of wheat J3o.S04-
7S2 bushels of corn 31822510 bush-

New Crops In the Panhandle.
From time to time new crops are
being tried In t'ae Parhandle and
the remarkable thing is not yet has
there been a signal failure and near-
ly always the result of the experi-
ments have been such as to strength
en the faith In the productiveness of
the soil here and the adaptlbillty of
tho Panhandle to nearly all crops of
tho temperato zono. The latest new
crop experiments is that of flax by
C. W. Griffin of near Washburn. Mr.
Griffin who recently moved from
Missouri says: "I planted about
eight acres of flax this year and late-
ly when I threshed it I find a yield
of something like ten bushels per
mere. The tow makes the jflnest
kind of hay If the fanner chooses
to keep It Instead of selling for fiber.
Flax seed sells around )1 to $1.25
per bushel iany time and finds a
ready market so you see even at
ten bushels per acre it Is a money
crop. This year Is lnmh dryer than
the average and I am convinced that
in favorable years the yield would
run much higher. I planted the flax
In April this year." Pampa Crony.
