! the
SHOOTING WAS DONE.
His testimony was corrobcrated by
Jesses 1T. Claire, who also testified that
Lane, before the shooting, said be would
go out, bring johnson in and kill him.
James Ponsford saw the shooting and
heard Lane cali johnson names, slap
him In the face and offer to "catch left
hands and shoot"
After examining several other wit
nesses who had seen the shooting and
heard the men quarreiling previously,
and
LANE THREATENING TO KILL
johnson, the defense offered to submit
the case without producing their wit
nesses or without argument. This the
judge refused and Elias sperling was
first sworn for the defense He had
seen Lane ON the day of the shooting,
whotold him that he had come to kill
johnson that day Mr.. Sperling le-
monstrated and tried to get Lane to
leave town. Others were sworn who
had seen Lane the first day he came to
Bozeman and had told johnson to hide
until Lane had became sober. Lane be-
cams so drunk that he went to sleep,
and Johnson then came from his place
of hiding and went to bed. The first
meeting of Lane and johnson was des-
cribed. Lane asked johnson why he
was keeping out Of sight johnson said
''You have made

several times thereafter, and about ten
minutes before the shooting Lane had
agreed to wait unit johnson had proved
that he had not gone east with Mrs.

Sanborn testified to having received
dispatch from Lame asking if johnson
was in Bozeman, which he answered in

The ServO-BuIgariam War An Ar

There had been severe fighting at various
points in Bulgaria between the 23d and
10Th of November. From the dispatches
we compile the following:
On the 2ith Of November rumors OF a
revolutionary outbreak at Belgrade reached
London The Servian Minister denied its
truth, but said that the people would
soverturn the Government in certain con

.cept a cesSion of territory sufficient to COM

'sidered possible that the diplomats at Con-
Istantinople would arrange for a small ces7

sufficient to keep King Milan on his
throne, and it would be regarded as a pun

LATE NEWS.

BY the arrival OF the brigantine JOhnI
ID. Spreckels from San Francisco on Sat
-Irday last, we have news up to NOvem-
Der 29th inclusive As it is of more than
usual interest We devote the greater por-
ton OF our space to presentation OF the
important items.
The death of Vice President Hendricks
will be regretted by all American citi-I
zens. He was a man OF more than
ordinary ability, of high moral character
and strong convictions His death,
however, leaves "a void in the succession
TO the Presidency which the Constitution
does not contemplate. To preserve the
equilibrium of parties a. nearly az posi-
BILE, the late Vice President kept the
chair as President of the Senate until the
adjournment last session; and the Sen
ate, out of respect to him, did not elect a
President pro teIn. 1t followed, there
fore, that until Congress assembled on
December 9TH, and the Senate elected a
presiding officer to succeed Hendricks,
there would be no Vice President OF the
United States. As Congress expired
with the last session, the House OF Rep
resentatives was without a Speaker until
it again organized, and therefore this
Constitutional link in the Presidential
chain was also wanting. There was lit
tie likelihood, however, of the death Of
the President, and Congress will doubt
lessly provide against similar con
tingency again arising. Mr.. Hendricks
was on the ticket as Vice President with
Tilden in 1876.
The death of King Alfonso, of Spain
was not unexpected; but now that it has
come to pass it will likely plunge his
country into civil war. Spain is i'll al
unfortunate condition, having been ex
hausted by earthquakes and cholera, anC
an almost total loss of crop. 1t is be

SUDDEN DEATH.
Vice President Hendricks Dies of
Paralysis of the Brain.
Career Of the GreaG Democratic Leader
National Mourning.

Nice President Thomas A. Hendricks
died at his home in Indianapolis shortly
before O'Clock November 25th, of paralysis
of the brain. He had been troubled with
spells of illness for some days previous,
but attended reception on Tuesday even
ing, the 23d The news of his death was
received with considerable sensation
throughout the country. owing to the high
position he held in his party, and partly
because the Presidential succession is now
Republican. Under the law the President
pro tempOre OF the United States Senate is
next in succession after the Vice President.
An attempt was made by the last Congress
to fix the succession, but the bill failed in the
House. Senator Edmunds, who had filled
the position of President pro tempOre from
the time of the death of Garfield up TO the
4th of last March. was Te-uhuSen at the
extra session, and is now President Pre-
tempore- If the precedent set at the time
of the death OF Elbridge Gerry, fifth Vice
President of the United States, who died
November Is, 1911, is followed, a reelection
of President pro tempore will be nAcessary
In that case John Gaillard who was Presi-
dent pro tempore when Gerry died held
until Congress re-assembled.
An indianapolis dispatch states: Hon
Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice President oi
the United States, died very suddenly at
his residence in this city at $40 O'Clock
this evening. November 25th, under circum-
stances that were particularly distressing
TO his family and friends, insomuch a. they
had not anticipated fatal termination OF
his brief illness, and nobody was with him
when death came. He returned from
Chicago las Saturday and since then had
been complaining somewhat of pain in his
head and breast, but nothing serious was
thought of it. Last night he and Mrs.
Hendricks attended Il reception at the resi-
dence of Hon John J. Cooper Treasurer
of the State, returning home i'll their earl
riage about midnight. Hendricks hadI
taken off the heavy clothing he usually V!
wofe, put on dress suit of light material
and before he got home complained of dun
ness and certain degree of exhaustion
