movements of the President excites
very little interest here as enough

the fifth district Of that State in the
House He was an able, companion
able, easy going man, and he became
involved in financial difficulties, re.
signed his seat in Congresg and left
North Carolina under cloud. Few
knew where he had gone. On the
frontier he commenced life over

Idaho that he has a fine chance of
being chosen as United States Senator
if the Democrats have majority in
the newly organized States Lesis-

the deputy marshal was not excused
in killing Terry unless he knew the
Justices life to be in danger, still
public sentiment would be largely
with him even had he no reason t

Judges from danger OF personal hurt
IN account of acts committed in the

the sanotity Of the law. And Mar.
shall Nelgle, in his wild western way,
pretty well supported it.
