Jlarshal Luppy Shot tlim When He Resisted. STORY OF THE TRAGEDY. Facts Brought Out at Coroner's Inquest last Sunday. Marshal John Luppy shot and killed Bill Ostrander last Saturday evening between seven and eight o'clock. The news of the killing spread rapidly and groops of excited pec -pie were eagerly seeking the facts concerning a tragedy regretted by everybody, and none regretting it more than City Marshal John Luppy.

When it was found that Ostran-der was dead the oflicer surrendered his star and gun to Mayor Todd with the remark that he wished to do the right thing and would not exercise the power of an officer until after the coroner's inquest. County Attorney Callahan was telephoned for, and came down Sunday to conduct the examina tion into the facte. The post mor-tum examination was made by Dr. T. A.

Stevens and coroner Rader at noon, and it was found that the fatal shot entered Oatrander's bodj just below the lower rib and went through the body in a downward course, passing through the upper portion of the pelvis bone, lodging just under the skin. Dr Stevens extracted the ball a 44 calibre. A wound was made on Ostrander's head by some blunt instrument but according to the testimony would not produce death. After the post mortum examination the body was turned over to Undertaker Atwood, who prepared it for burial. The inquest was held in the council room in the afternoon, and developed the following facts: The firBt witness was Mrs.

Ostrander, who testified that Mr Luppy came to their home between teven and eight o'clock, knocked and was admitted. He told Bill that he wanted him, and Mr. Ostrander protested that he wished to eat his supper first. Mr. Luppy told him to go ahead and eat his supper.

Ostrander said that they seemed to have it in for him. She said that when Bill went to the ftove to ur himself a cup of ffee Mr. Luppy shot him and he fell to the floor and expired in about twenty five minutes. Mrs. Henry Parsons, sister of Mrs.

Ostrander, took the stand, and in substance testified as follows: Bill Ostrander came home drunk and was loud and boistrous; that i ah A was afrflirf rf Kim a a a aria 4 '1 Al nan tn at a 7 at hnmo I nn a that i i night, and Mr. and Mrs. Ostran der lived in the same house, she 8fter the marshal to have Bill locked up for the night. Mr. Luppy came down with her; that she stopped at Ed Clark's, a neighbor and Mr.

Luppy went into the Ostrander house. She did not hear any scuffling, but heard a pistol shot, and did not know whether or not it was on the inside or not, but thought it was in the house. Ed Clark was next called. He was in his house, next door south, at the time of the trouble, heard the shot but did not go out, and did not know whether or not Bill was 6hot in or out of the house. Marshal John Luppy next took the stand.

His story is substantially as follows: He was ask to go and arrest Bill Ostrander by MrB Parsons. He went with her until they reached Ed Clark's, when Mrs. Parsons stopped there. He went to the Odtrander house and knocked twice before the door was opened. He told Bill that he wanted him.

Bill said he didn't know whether he would be arrested or not. The marshal told him he must go, and took his gun in his hand. Mr. Ostrander ask to be allowed to eat his supper first and Mr. Luppy told him to go ahead and he sat down upon the bed.

Mr. Luppy said he called for an -unusual amount of coffee and kept his eyes on the marshal. Mr. Luppy was watching him, and when Ostrander made a break for the back door caught him. Ostrander gave the officer a back handed lick in the face which left its mark and knocked Mr.

Luppy loose but the Marshal caught him again outside the house. Ostrander hit him again, when Luppy told him not to do bo any The next time Ostrander struck Luppy the officer fired the shot that made Bill Ostrander lifeless. He staggered toward the door and fell into the house. Mr. Luppy then went into the house and out the other door; he went to Mr.

Clark's and sent for Judge Barnes, and thinking that he might not be dead went up and sent Rader down. Walter Greenwell was sent for and said that between seven and eight o'clock he and Sonny Goodman were walking north on Spring street, and when they came near FROM HUGH M'rOBERT. Makila, P. I. Oct.

let 1899, We left Honolulu Sep. 8th and arrived in Manila bay the 2oth. A young man, William Lyon, died Sep. 18th and the ship was stopped at 4 o'clock and the body, weighted and wrapped in canvas, was lowered overboard. The next day we came in sight of a solitary Volcano peak rising high out of the ocean and in the afternoon passed close by it.

It was certainly a grand eight for an immense cloud of Bmoke was constantly rie-ing from the crater, at times almost obscuring the mountain. 1IT rt we ran into a terrinc storm a day or two before entering China sea. The waves seemed like mountains and constantly broke over the decks, some even going over the hurricane dtck. Every opening was tightly closed by steel doors but some of the buys were curious to see how it looked outside and got one of the doors open. Their curiosity was soon satisfied for an immense wave came through the door, drenching them to the skin and flooding the room.

A lot of us boys were on the 2end deck hanging onto the ropes to keep fiom being washed overboard when an immense wave came over the bow and soaked every one of us and some of the boys were washed back against the pilot house. It was a fuuny sight but we didn't stay there long after that. On the 24 ih we rounded the northern shores of Luzon and came south along the coast but as we came closer we could see that the mountains were covered with tropical trees and grasses. We laid in Manila bay for two or three daJ8 and eaw froci the P- thal lhe transport "Morgan City," which sailed before we did, oaa oeen buok in a storm on tne shores of the Inland sea. The troops fiwam ashore and were brought- over by another ship.

WaIllla ls certainly a grand eighl when viewed from the bay at night for you can see long lines of electric lights along the shore and also see the lights at Cavite. i nursday morning we were taken l()ok t-n Fernando, about 50 miles north of Manila. We parsed through Caloocan where the volunteers did such hard fighting, and they certainly left good signs of it, for one building was so full of bullet holes that it looked like a sieve with holee three inchee aPrtrt and 00 a11 four sides at that. We were taken i to the field headquarters of the 4ih valry at Oan ernando and wei assigned to our troop. Arthur Cavis and I got in the same troop, tioop Albert Doeh went to the 9th Intantry and; Elmer Campbell to the 6th Artil- lery so we did not hear what Com- pany they are in.

We climbed i up in the belfry of one of the old Spanish churches and got out on the edge of the dome and cut our names on it. It was so old that the rocks are crumbling and black vines and bushes are growing from the cracks and the iron work is rusting away. We slept that night in an old Spannish barracks and came back to Manila next day. The insurgents had slipped in between the lines that night and cut down a lot of the telegraph poles and we passed the place going back. They had sawed them off near the ground.

Our troop is at Passat, about five miles south cf Manila and we came here Friday night. We like troop and the place fine and our health has been the very best. We are right on the shore of the bay and get a cool breeze from the sea though the rainy season isn't er yet "'We saw five prisoners that were brought in by Macabbee scoots think that we will get a chance to go out soon. We shall eagerly look forward for the first "Chronicle'' we get for it will take almoBt five weeks to get it here. Very respectfully, Hugh McRobert, Troop G.

From the Independence Reporter: Divorces were granted Saturday afternoon in the following cases: Pearl Cox vs.

Charles F. Cox; Minnie Kammerer vs. Charles Kammerer. Morris King, of Caney, charged with violating the prohibitory law pleaded guilty to one count and asked for immediate sentence. He was given a fine of one hundred dollars, thirty days and costs The case against Joe Hendrix, who was charged jointly with King, was dismissed.

In the matter of the puit of Mrs. "Foster Williams of Coffeyville for a divorce from her husband it appears that peace, or at least a truce has. been made and the parties are now living Mr. Williams appeared in court Saturday and asked to have the case dismissed, agreeing to pay costs and and attorney's fee of fifty dollars. When he does so the case will probably be dismissed.

She was attracted toward the Ostrander home by the whooping of Mr. Ostrander. She saw two men in the back yard and it looked as though they were scuffling. A 6hot was fired and she saw the flash of fire from the gun and that it was on the outside. The jury was six as fair minded men as could be gotten to-gether.

When under the influence of liquoT Bill Ostrander was looked upon as a bad man, although when sober was industrious and hard working. He was of a quarrelsome disposition, was unusually strong and gloried in being a bully. He had been arrested Tuesday and Marshal Luppy took an open raisor from him.

A charge was made against him Saturday for using abscene language in the presence of ladies. He had made threats against Marshal Luppy, and being a much younger and stronger man Mr. Luppy was no match for him, and was afraid to allow him any advantage. In justice to Mr. Ostrander we wish to say he was not a jointist as published in the county papers, but we are very sorry to say he was too frequent a joint patron.
