TUNNEL PRECINCT VOTES.

maudamus case in the Silver Bow contest
was opened before Judge De Wolfe this
morning at Butte. The suit was brought
| in the name of the people of Montana, to
which the attorneys for the Republicans
objected, making the point that it should
| be in the name of the Territory. The
Judge sustained the objection. but gave the
other side leave to amend. The attorney
| for the Republicans then moved to quash
| the writ and the Court adjourned until to-
morrow morning, when argument on the
motion will be commenced. The manda-
mus is asked for by various Democratic
county candidates who are defeated unless
the Tunnel precinct is counted.
Is 1t RUDE Burrows?
BIRMINGHAM Ala, October 2Sth.-Noth-
| ing has been heard from Blount county to-
day, except that Rube Burrows is still at
large and the pursuers need more dogs.
| The Governor, in reply to the Sheriff's re-
quest for help, sent twenty picked men.
| The report that another officer has been
killed is not confirmed, and is most proba-
| bly, false.
The impression is growing that it is not
Rube Burrows that the Sheriff is following.
These men go along the highroad, stopping
at houses and inquiring their way. Rube
has never done this, but after being seen
has always disappeared utterly until his
next robbery.
