BOUND OVER, SDH S5.000. Miller Was Slot in the Back The Coroner's Inquest. George Buffington, who shot killed Ode Miller, a young man employed on his ranch, near Lang-ly, Tuesday night, was given a hearing at Ellsworth yesterday and bound over to the October term of district court in the sum of $5,000.

Buffington was placed in and it is hardly probable that will be able to give bond. Everything points to murder in the first degree, and the fact that Miller was shot in the back will be evi dence that a self-defense plea can- very well evercome. Buffington been a frequent visitor to Sali- has been a freq since he had interests here and must have had a desire to be- come tough fr his actions would indicate that. It is reported that has a nice family. Buffington will serve a long term the pen, there is no doubt, but this does not seem fit punishment a crime such as the one he com mitted.

I Buffineton was arrested bv Sher- Pohlmanj of. Ellsworth county, Marquette Wednesday after- nooru Buffington had eot pretty wel, fiUed up on tanglefoot, had fiht ad wa9 flrstpfi 0 1 bya deputy sheriffof McPherson count who held him until pohU man arrived. He was taken back his ranch where an inquest was held over the remains of Miller. The coroner's jury found on exami- nation of the body that Miller had been shot three or four times with 35-calibre revolver. This revol- 1 house, showed four empty cham- bers.

At least three of the four shots which entered the boy's body had been fired from the rear. The testimony as brought out at wwu6wi UUI the inquest is to the effect that Buffington and a man named Shep- ard, while settling up for wages Tuesday night, had a dispute overj quarter of a day's time. Buffing ton said Shephard wasn't entitled to pay for this time, and that Miller wasn't either as he had shirked his work. Shenard sava Millar hr moonnto.ti,.

in process of erection. One series of eighteen 106 by 16 feet, and two series of II each 336 by 16. Six crystallizers will be put into operation and so arranged that one may be emptied each day. The water is all taken from one well and will be pumped into the vats which will be connected by pipes. The water from this well was tested and found to be 40 per cent salt.

The gasoline engine is capable of pumping a barrel of water each minute and it is estimated that it will take thirty days steady pump ing to fill the vats, or 43, 200 barrels of water, forty, per cent of which is salt will be used each month. From six to nine men will be engaged after the works are in operation. Mr. Rowland contemplates con verting the entire tract of land there into a salt plant just as soon and fast as it can be done.

The vocal and instrumental concert given at theLutheran church last night by young ladies from Lindsborg, was a very artistic performance. Their coming was largely at the suggestion of Mr. E. E. Swenson of our city.

Few people, comparatively, attended, but the program was superb, well-ar ranged and every number was of the highest musical merit. The Peril iormance was one tnat aeservea a crowded house from Salina; and this would undoubtedly have been the case but for the sultry night, the Hutchinson excursion, and principal ly because of the fact that the music lovers of Salina did not realize what a treat they would have received had they gone. Those taking part in the perform ance were: Miss Lillian Rossberg, pianist, Miss Hannah Naso, con tralto, Miss Vendla Wetterstrom, violinist, Miss Viola Bacon, reader, Each and all gave interesting and delightful evidences of their skill and ability. Miss Rossberg as a soloist and accompanist, was most graceful in the demonstration of her skill at the instrument, as she was, also, charm ing in face and figure. Miss Naso, of Norwegian parentage, the contraltro soloist from De catur, Illinois, possesses a voice that must surely some day make her famous.

She is very young, sings without the least effort, and her tones are sweet, full and clear. The effectiveness of her singing is great ly enhanced by her graceful sim plicity and self-possession. With out apparent effort on her part, her deep musical voice fills the air, while she herself gives one the impres sion that she is withholding its ful strength and compass. Miss Bacon's readings were most excellent and were of a humorous nature. Miss Wetterstrom violin solos fully demonstrated her thorough knowledge of the instrument, and her remarkable skill in the produc tion of all the various effects possi ble to it.

The Lindsborg combination should come again when they will have a such as they should have. Distrusted "Tim" Campbell. Gen. 'Hey wood, now commanding officer of the marine corps, was at one time stationed at the Brooklyn navy yard. One day he was surprised to see a sentry approach with Congressman "Tim" Campbell in custody.

"I wouldn't let this man pass, general, till he told me who he was. He says he is a congressman, so I knew he's a liar, and I thought the best thing to do was to bring him to you."

UANY PRIESTS TO BE HERE Music Will Bs Bj Sallai's Best Musi cal Great preparations are being made for the dedication of the new Catholic church here, Wednesday, July 23rd. The services will begin with the blessing of the edifice at to o'clock by Bishop Cunningham, of Concordia, assisted by twenty priests. The Bishop will sing the Pontifical High Mass.

The deacons of hon or will be Fathers Hayden, of To-peka and Hurley of Junction City the deacons of the mass, Fathers Leary, of Chapman, and Horgan, of Delphos; master of ceremonies, Father Conway, of Clyde; High Priest, Vicar-General Perrier, of Concordia. The sermon will be preached by Father Hayden, of Solomon, and a band of 16 altar boys will take part in the services. The Knights of Columbus will be a guard of honor to the Bishop. They will form at the school, march to the parsonage and from there escort the Bishop to the church. The church will be closed until the Bishop has entered and blessed the structure, after which the public will be admitted.

There is to be no admission, but a collection will be taken up to help defray the expenses of the dedication. Dinner will be served immediately afterwards in the basement of the church. The afternoon services will begin at 3 o'clock with Solemn Vespers, "Cor an Episcopo." A sermon in German will then be delivered by Father Hoeller, of Gorham, Kan. The music for the occasion is to be very fine and will be furnished by the choir, assisted by some of the best musical talent in the city. The singers are Mesdames, J.
