tsrday.
McCaffray and Smith have bsen enemies
for several years, their disagreement arising
out of the disputed ownership and possess
sion of some mining and ranch properties
near Basin. The Jefferson county court,
where the matter was tried, gave Judgment
for McCaffray and ordered Smith to turn
the property over to him. This Smith re-
fused to do on account OF mistake in The
description of tho property made in tho or
der of the court. When Deputy Shcrlh
Forbes went out to dispossess smith about
two years ago. he resisted with suoh force
that the officer had to use his gun. He
shot Smith in the leg. Smith has held pos
session of the property ever since, and Mo
CAffray has always claimed it was for the
purpose of making him pay large sum Of
money in order to get what the court said
was his. The two men seldom met without
getting into quarrel and coming to blows.
Though McCaffray ia the eldsr OF the two
men. he generally comes out best in these
| encounters. At one time they started fight
| ing in grocery store and continued the
| contest all ovor the street, MoCaffray had
Smith down in the road, and secured big
stone and was about to beat his antagonist
over the head with it. Smith grabbed Nc
Caffray's pistol, which had fallen from his
pocket. and placed it at the owners head,
com polling him to desist.
The difficulty Of yesterday was the pos
sibis elimination of the long-standinz
trouble, the men meeting and engaging as
usual in fight, in which McCsffray used a
knife on Smith. At last reports Smith had
but = faint chance OF recovery.

GREAT FALLS, Sept. 13.-[spec,al. ]-The
most harmonious, the most satisfactory,
the best-tempered convention ever held by
she democracy of Montana completed it's
work here to-day. Such was the testimony
borne by Gov. Toole in summing up its
work, and such will unquestionably be the
popular verdict as the proceedings are read
by those who were not in attendance. The
remarkable feature of it was that every
nomination was made by acclama-
tion, without the formality of
Q ballot. The only semblance
Of contest was over the nomination tor
governor, and that was only a furry Of a
few moments duration. caused by wave
OF popular sentiment for Helena's favorite
young democratic orator, Robert B. Smith.
It started in Missoula but spread all
through the state in spite of the efforts of
Mr.. Smith to stop it. Lewis and Clarke,
of course. had determined to present no
candidate to the convention and declined
to listen to generous offers on the part of
outside delegations to support smith if
nominated by Helena. It looked uncer-
tain as the roll of counties was called. but
when Silver Bow retired to consult and de-
cided TO cast her vote tor Collins. the fun
was over. Missoula withdrew Smiths
name and peace reignsd ON the Prickly
| Pear.
The rest of the session was uneventful
and the nominees had an easy time of it to
tho end of the ticket. In its personnel, it's
geographical distribution, and in all other
respects, the ticket is satisfactory to all.
The delegates leave for home tomorrow,
many of them stopping in Helena to join
in the big ratification meeting of the Broad.
water club tomorrow night. Collins,
Dixon, CLARK, Mats, Toole, and Others
have consented to speak on that occasion.
