A BROKEN HEA
The Result of Taking Part in Politi-
cal Discussion.

Shortly after s O'Clock last night a
young man, whose dishevelled apparel,
blood-stained linen, and towelswathed
head indicated that he had met with an
adventure of some sort quite recently,
presented himself at the police station
for medical treatment. On removing
the towels that were wrapped round his
head, he disclosed to view an ugly scalp
wound on the left side of his head and
a nasty cut under the right eye, from
both of which blood was still slowly
trickling down to his shirt, which was
already saturated with gore.
He was taken to the receiving hospital,
and while awaiting the arrival of DR..
Horace B. Wing, who was summoned to
his assistance, stated his name was Billy
Wilson, and that he had been "done up"
at the Main street gardens by two men.
When questioned as to the details of the
assault, he refused to give the names OF
his assailants, but said that they were
an old man and his son whom he knew,
and whom he proposed to ''tix" at the
earliest opportunity. According to his
version of the story, the two men were
discussing with others the relative mer-
it's of the gubernatorial candidates, when

discussion. AS is frequently the case,
the others resented the interference
of the outsiders and after
an interchange of compliments, the
younger of the two men challenged him
to bout of fisticuffs. Wilson threw off
his coat and struck at his opponent, but
received two terrible blows on the head
and face from the old mans heavy cane,
which effectually put a stop to the fight.
The wounded man was taken into the
bar and his broken head bandaged with
wet towels, after which he rode into
town on street car.
On the arrival of DIR. Wing at the re-
ceiving hospital, Wilson objected to
having his wounds sewn up, as he
wanted to be fixed up" SO that his
mother, with whom he lived, should not
notice that he had been hurt.
After arguing the matter with the
physician he left the station in disgust
to find another doctor.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The silver men
in the senate are talking this evening
with good deal of amazement about an
utterance OF Mr.. Power that was made
to-day. In reply 10 n gentleman, who
asked him whether he thought that the
senate would pass free coinage bill, he
said: "The brainy business men Of Mon
tana are not clamorous for free coinage.
That is the demand Of a lot of dema-
gogues aud not one coming from the men
who speak for the best interests of the
state.n
This will certainly cause a good deal Of
astonishment among the men who have
been discussing the silver question in the
campaign aud complaining Of Carter for
his course on the caucus silver bill.
Power does not feel as Teller does.
Teller voices the sentiments of the silver
men in saying he has a strong suspicion
that the election bill is being used 10 keep
down silver legislation and that the sena-
tors who are pushing the election bill
have in mind the prevention of anything
that looks like free coinage. He said
to-day he would vote now 10 displace the
election bill, but some OF his colleagues in
this matter thought II better TO give their
opponents little more rope. lie said he
proposed TO move TO lay the election bill
aside next Tuesday unless il was sooner
disposed of and he was confident of suc-
cess in the undertaking.
"No," said Senator Teller, 1--WE have
not received any proposition from the
democratic side Of the chamber but we
know that there are enough free coinage
democrats TO make our plan a success,
Every democrat will help, because while
few Of them do not favor free coinage
they are emphatically in favor Of shelving

port whether the right 10 vote at any cleo

congress, Legislators or officers, is denied

the committee 10 give atten-

not provided in their constitutions or
laws such voting qualifications as were
not permitted by the lith amendment to
the constitution without an abridgmnt of
congressional representation. He said
the constitution recently adopted in Mis-
sissippi did impose such qualifications
and the representation of that state should
be abridged. He sent to the clerks desk
and had read the recent inaugural mess
