NICE, May 2O.-The trial OF Edward P.
Deacon, All American, for the killing Of his
wifes paramour, M. Abeille, began this
morning. Tho court room was crowded
with prominent people. including many
Indies Of fashion attired in elegant cos
tunes. The weather was warm and as tho
crowd sat in the court room the tempera-
ture became almost suffocating. This had
no effect upon the eaRerness of the ladies
who sat calmly tanning themselves
throughout the session. paying the closest
attention to everything said and done. The
crowd in the gallery was composed almost
entirely OF members Of the aristocrsto
circle of Nice. Hardly dozen Americans
or Englishmen were seen.
Judge Aubertin. president Of the court,
was on the bench and Count du Moiron,
procureur of the republic represented the
prosecution. Deacon was represented bv
Maitre Denange, the Celebrated advocate
OF the Paris bar; M. Goirand, an equally
we'll known lawyer of Paris; Frank Pillote
OF the Nice bar, and Solicitor Bret, of
Cannes. The Abeille family, though not
taking part in the proceedings, were repre-
sented by Maitre Lairolle.
As Deacon was brought into the court
room by the Rend'armes all eyes we're di-
rected upon him. Pallor marked his feat
ures. He looked neither to the right nor
left but concentrated all his attention upon

ings.
The case of Theo Shed against Henry N.
Hunter ct al was given to jury in Judge
Hunts court yesterday and special findings
returned. Hunter was the assignee Of
Forey h Padbury. of Marysville. The
special findings are to the effect that Hun ter
managed the property jointly with Green
hood, Bohm & Co.. and received the pro-
ceeds of the business, and that he had not
faithfully and honestly disbursed the
moneys received. The findings are further
that there was a collusion or agreement be-
tween Hunter. az assignee, and Green hood
Bohm Il Co., with the intention of ,defraud-
ing Shed and the other creditors of Forey
81 Padbury, and that Forey was authorized
to collect moneys due the firm and retained
them for his own use. 1t was also found
that Hunter, as assignee, was careless and
negligent in the management Of his trust
and that the creditors were damaged. The
special findings were signed by Il. w. De
Noille, foreman of the jury. The amount
involved in tho case is about 81, 200.

When Time Was Called for tho Ninth-A
Foul Not Allowed.

When Time Was Called for tho N'nth-A
Foul Not Allowed.
M1ssouLA, May 20.-[Special. "A glove
contest at the Mascot theater was fought
beteen Chick Rodgers. of Helena, and
George Cannon, of Portland. Jim Bates
was chosen rsferre and H. d. Brown time
keeper. The men went into the ring at
1920, Rodgers weighing 147 pounds and
Cannon 14G The first round was lively
and several heavy body blows were struck
by each contestant. The round closed with
honors even, and the impression prevailed
that it would be lively fight to the close.
In the second Rodgers received heavy
blow on the nose which brought L. copious
flow of blood. In this round Gsnnon's
superior fighting qualities became
apparent. The third and fourth
were tame. but in favor of
Cannon. In the fifth the principals did
considerable talking and laughing and
Cannon gave Rogers several opportunities
to wipe ths blood from his face.
Rogers freshened up in the sixth and did
some fighting. The seventh was spent in
sparrinR for wind, with Rogers on the de-
fensive. evidently commencing to think the
place too warm. In the eighth Cannon
rushed and Rogers was knocked on the
ropes, Cannon hitting him after he fell on
the ropes. A foul was claimed and while
talking about it time was called, Rogers
being evidently whipped the foul was not
allowed. When time was called for the
ninth Rogers refused to come to the scratch
and when Cannon came to his corner
orawled under the ropes. The contest was
given to Cannon. who then offered to stop
Rogers in six rounds.

HEAVY LOSSES IN LAMBS.

In Some Sections They Reach IS Fer Cent
Big Hay Crop.
Visiting sheepmen and reports from tho
sheepgrowing sections are to the effect that
the losses IN lambs this season have been
greater than in many years. In some seq
tions of Meagher county the losses were as
great as 70 per cent. During the lambing
season. and when it was at its height. the
weather was very damp and cold. and the
young ones in some cases died as RAPIDLY as
they were born. The weather was also very
hard on new born calves and colts, and the
losses among these animals have been large.
But az there is never dark picture without
a bright side. the late SHOWS and rains have
had the effect of putting the ranges in ex-
cellsnt shape, so that there will not only be
an abundance of feed for range stock, and
there will also be such large hay crop
that it will not be necessary to ship any in.
The SHOWS and rains have been general all
over Montana, and the prospects arc the
brightest for bounteous crops. 1t is the
impression that the warm weather has
come to stay. and if is has vegetation will
fairly jump out of the ground.

Congressman Tracey Figures Out
That Cleveland Will Be Nom
mated at Chicago.
He Has 416 Delegates Already
and Is Sure Of Nearly
100 More
These Claims Pronounced Extra VACANT by
the Anti-CIeveIand Men -Esti-
mates Of the New Yorker,

WARRINGTON, May 20. - Congressman
Tracey, warm supporter of Cleveland, has
tabulated returns from state conventions
held to date and figured on delegations to
be selected. He declares with much em-
phasis that ths sx-president will receive
ths nomination, probably on the second
ballot. or the conventions already held
he gives Cleveland 415; uninstructed or
anti-Clsveland ballots, 1856. Eighteen
states have not yet declared their pref
erences. Tracey divides them into ninety
six for Cleveland, and 209 uninstructed or
anti-Cieveland. According to Tracey's
calculation Cleveland will lack only about
ninety votos to secure the nomination.
With this showing on the first ballot. he
believes those in the wavering or unn-
colamn will come over. The anti
Cleveland men declare these claims extrav-
aRant.

PRlc
LOSSES AGGREGATE $1,000, 900.
Startling Figures Given Of the Damage by
ElO0la.

TAOOOSs
sr. LOUIS. May 20.--To- days decline in
the river. though ii stopped at 1856 has
given tho people Of tho afflicted district an
opportunity to look around preparatory TO
tho next rise. II Is estimated that tho
Losses in districts Immediately tributary
to st. Louis are appalling. agRrsgating fully
$11 100000. These figures, astounding AZ
they seem, are considered by competent
judges extremely conservative. In looking
at this loss, it must be remembered that in
all the flooded territory referred to, prac-
tically 1900 square miles. the waters
have rendered II, in majority
of cases, impossible for the farm
ing population to raise n crop
this year. All this comes in addition to the
damage actually existing property. As to
the number of persons driven either from
homes or to their roofs in the flooded terri
tory, fgdres range from 1000 to 5000 per-
sons. Bevond this, in st. Louis, at
least $1,000 persons are temporarily
thrown out of wotk by the stopping of
factories by high water. In Fast +. Louis
there 10 no change from the condition of
the past few days. Water surrounds the
city, but probably will be let out out Of
town. This railroad situation is unchanged.
The same 10 true in North st. Louis, Gem
tral st. Louis and South ST. Louis. on the
west side. and Madison, Venice. Brooklyn
and East Carondeet on tho east. All ara
now anxiously awaiting the rise coming
from above.

OswEao, N. Y, May 2l--One a. ma
great fire is raging along the water front.

Flames have leaped over to the islands in
Centre river, which are piled full of
lumber, and it is now burning tiercely.
The loss thus far is half million of dol
lars. There il no telling where the fire
fire will stop. Syracuse iiremen are on the
way here by special train. Six elevators
have been destroyed. The heat is fearful
and irenlen, although working heroically,
cand do little to stop the spread of the
flames. At 1:3O n. III. the hiemen aban-
doned the Marine elevator.
The great coal trestles of the railroads
are now burning. Locomotives are ut work
there wetting them down. trying to save
them. Firemen are trying TO save the
Northwestern elevator, the only one left.
1t is OH the opposite side of the river and
