Spain's Baby King.

The young king Of Spain is growing
into fairly strong and healthy boy,
and he is enjoying his holiday stay at
Araniuez with his mother immensely.
He is especially delighted with the
drives he is taken by the queen re-
gent, who drives out every day in a
pony phaeton with pair of bays,
which she manages with consumate
skill. Her royal son sits up proudly
at her side and kisses his hand to the
delighted country people with the
most engaging frankness. His mai
esty's playthings nearly filed large
luggage van when the royal baggage
was brought from Madrid, and addi-
tions are made to the assortment at
frequent intervals.
n One of his latest toys, in which he is
beginning to take great interest, was
presented to his majesty by the officers
of the regiment of guards of which he
became the colonel by right Of birth.
This specially designed toy consists of
a reproduction on a liliputian. scale of
the 500 officers and men Of the regi-
ment, each diminutive soldier being an
accurate copy in uniform and acccn--
trements of the original. Ii is accom-
panied by finished model of the bar

A Word About Narle.

David Maggie, the deputy United States
marshal who killed Terry. is we'll known IN
San Francis o. In the latter part of the '7o's
ne went to Arizona, and in 1871 he received
the appointment as chief of police OF
Tombstone. While occupying that posi-
ton he had frequent encounters with the
criminal elements, and by his behavior he
soon earned for himself the reputation of
a man of indisputable courage and
bravery. He shot and killed a
Mexican desperate in Tombstone
after fierce encounter. Maggie was an
pointed deputy marshal year ago, and
when Terry made the assault on Marshal
Franks last September, Maggie disarmed
him. The report circulated that Terry in
tended doing Judge Fields some injury
when they met caused Nagle to be detailed
to act as body guard to him, when he came
to this coast few months ago. Maggie is
about 80 years of age, and has wife and
family living in this city.

Passengers Testimony.

Among the passengers on the Southern
overland train was Col. H. G. Otis, eaitor
of the Los Angeles Times. He was stand
ing outside the depot dining room at La
throp when the shooting of Judge Terry
occurred, and was at the scene of the
tragedy a moment later. In an int view
he said:
1.-The train arrived at Lathrop at 7:lO a.
m. Justice Field was among the first OF
the passengers to enter the dlnlng-room.
He took seat at table facing the
door. United States Deputy Marshal Nagle
sat at his side. Soon after they sat down
David Terry and his wife entered the room.
When Mrs. Terry saw Justice Field she
turned and hnrriedly went out OF the room
to the train, the superstition being that she
went after pistol or a bottle OF vltrol.
Terry sat down at the table further up the
dining room, and while waiting to be serve
glanced at. Field. Presently he arose and
walked over to the latters chair. Judge
Field was leaning over his plate at the
time and Terry approached him from
behind and without word OF warning
dealt him bow on the side of the face.
At that instant Maggie cried: Hold! hands
off that man." Justice Field looked up,
and, as he told me afterwards, never saw
such picture of incarnate hatred as that
depicted upon Terry's face. Terry did not
heed the marshal's warming, and raised his
clenched fist to deliver second blow:
That menacing gesture was the last act OF
his life. Quick as flash Magic. drew a
pistol and sent bullet through his heart
and then another not over an inch from
where the first had struck HIM. A great

In Montana,

A deadlock in the convention over the
capital question has continued for some
time, until on the Sth the following towns
were voted on and defeated: Anaconda,
Great Falls and Billings. Bozeman won
on the last ballot of the morning--36 to 81
and a recess was taken until 2 o'clock.
In the afternoon the capital question was
resumed. After heated debate Bozeman
was defeated and Missoula was substituted
by vote of "a to 80. This was again
amended by substituting Anaconda Tor
Missoula by vote of SO to 80. A motion
to strike out the provision relating to the
location of the capital was then carried,
and this leaves the capital at Helena for
the present.

willing to make affidavit that not one
of them would take anything that did

about six months, the complaint

two miles from camp, known in that
neighborhood as "The Blue Goose. I"
She first complained to the Provost

it was certainly mistake, as he did
not believe that any of the boys of my

The Scene of tho Tragedy.

The scene of the tragedy is eighty three
miles from San Francisco by rail, and it is
the hreakfasting station for the southern
overlandtrain. The possibility of an en-
counter eetween Terry and Justice Field
has been recognized since the imprisou-
ment OF Terry for contempt of court zen
months ago, during the trial of the suit of
his wife, Sarah Althea Hill, who was pro-
scouting clam against Senator S aron's
estate, alleging that she was the wife of
the dead senator
The death of Judge Terry creates much
excitement on the coast, where he was so
we'll known. He was his wife's attorney
in her famous suit for divorce from ex-
Senator Sharon, and during tendency of
the case married his client. The career of
Sarah Althea Hill Sharon Terry is too well
known to need repetition. Judge Terry

Kicks and Kickers,


Kicks and Kickers.
Grand Forkers being dlsgruntled at the
action of the convention in ting the
capital and state institutions, caused the
following terror inspiring message to be
wired to President Fancher:
The power to locate the public institu-
ton for the new state of North Dakota
has never been delegated and still remains
with the people at large. Should the con-
constitutional convention farm them out
and submit the job with and as a part Of
the constitution, the people cannot look
upon it other than as an application Of
gag law to take from them the rights and
privileges under the penalty of remaining
in territorial bondage. We believe that
the people of the territory will prefer that
the birth of the new state be Indefinitely
postponed rather than that it be born UNI
der and by virtue of constitution reeking
with jobbery. Grand Forks county has 4, 500
votes, 50 public speakers and 5000 to
assist in maintaining the rights of the
people and the fair name of the new state.
If we cannot start right, We prefer not to
START at all"
it is, however, reported on good an
thority that the telegram protes
against the action of the convention II.
adopting the artisle on public institutions
was asked for by q telegram sent from
Bismarck by Delegate Matthews and
others. 1t was manufactured and sent iu
by request, and therefore represents moth
ing. On the other hand, Fargo and Cass
county, represented in convention Of
lao delegates from every precinct, adopted
| a congratu.atory resolution that was re-
ceived at Bismarck. A delegate to that
! convention said the resolution was received
by storm of cheers. Private kilograms
of congratulation have been received from
all over the country, particularly referring
to the permanent location of the seat Of
government at Bismarck. The Grand
Forks telegram fell fiat. The article Las
been adopted and made part of the con-
stitution and is beyond reconsideration.
There is no protest that amounts to any
thing, and the members of the convention
simply smile at the kick" as they call it..
The way the kick" was created defeats its
force.
Some Conclusions Reached In Warrington.
I The convention at Olympia took up and
passed the report of the committee on pub
lie buildings. It provides that the
question of locating the capital shall be
submitted to the people at the same time
as the constitution. Meantime the capital
remains at Olympia. The committee On
civil rights has also reported. Only fully
naturalized citizens and natives can vote.
Residence in the state of one year, in the
county Of three months and in the pre-
cinct Of thirty days is required. Woman
suffrage at school elections is allowed, and
the question is left to the legislature, ex-
cept that at the November election in 1890
it shall be submitted to the people.
