Minneapolis, Mimi, says: The familiar
Welch-Vilas libel suit was not, it seems, en-
tirely ended when the eight indictments
against William Welch were dropped for
want of prosecution last spring The old
case has been brought up again in a suit of
Mr.. Welch against William A. Erwin, the
criminal lawyer who was employed by Mr.
Villas and his friends to aid in the prosecution
of the case, for $4,000 damages At about
the time of the suit a story was published
putting Mr. Welch's character in very bad
light. Mr.. Welch has commenced suit
against Erwin for tie publication of the arti-
Gle. He has possession of the original manu-
script of the article published, which is said
to1be in Erwins handwriting.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. %. The legislature
Of Idaho territory, now in session, is consid-
ering measures looking to the overthrow Of
the influence Of the Mormon church in terri
torial politics The present election law re-
quires voters when casting their ballots to
take oath that they are not members of the
Mormon church. The object Of this law
was evaded at the late election by Mormons
permitting themselves to be excommunicated
from the church with the understanding that
they would be reinstated after the election.
1t is now proposed to pass law requiring
each voter to make affidavit that he has not
been member of the Mormon church with
in two years preceding the election.

the blacks were showing most determined
hostility and gathering in body from all
surrounding parts of the county.

as Lamar is but sixty miles OF, have no
doubt been delivered this morning
There is wild excitement here all along tho
line of the Illinois and Mississippi Central
road and whites are fiocking TO Lamar from
many points on the route.
The trouble began near Lamar in the same
way as at Wahalak, by quarrel between
two men, only in the present case the white
man struck the first blow
negro made use of very insulting Ian
guage, and the white man promptly knocked
him down.
Other colored men VINO saw the affray sided
with the negro, and would have killed the
