Novel Law Suit.

Hlmp,hire Rerisw: A novel and we
presume somewhat amusing lawsuit was
to have taken place at Pnrgittsyille last
Saturday between Isaac Yanmeter and
Jacob Huffman. All the world, or at
least a considerable part Of it, knows
that "Ike" Vanmeter is riproarous dem
ocrat while Jacob Huff nan is an uncom-
promising republican. As Mill Creek
District IS pretty equally diyided on
political questions, things got unusually
warm up there the last campaign. OF
course Huffman was we'll satisfied that
Harrison would be elected while Ike
Vanmeter was equally as certain that
Cleveland was to be the next President.
Both are extensive sheep raisers and
Huffman tLough5 if Cleveland was
elected the tariff on WOOL would be
reduced and sheep would at once de-
preciate in value. OF course Vanme-
ter's opinion vas just tie contra
ry. Neither of the men were in the habit
OF betting on the result Of elections, so
they backed their iud gment by sale of
sheep. They agreed that if Cleveland
was elected, Vanmeter was TO luy HUI
mans sheep paying him 81 80 a head,
while if Harrison was elected he was to
pay IS a head for the same sheep. After
the election Huffman did not care to sell
his sheep at $3.50 head, SO suit was
brought before Justice Kelley. H. B.
GlkesoD and W. b. Cornweil went mp
TO try the case. The former to represent
Huffman and the latter Vanmeter. The
matter was adjusted by compromise,
Huffman paying Yanmeter so.

Contrary TO expectation an informa
ton of murder in the first degree was
filed in the district court Yesterday
afternoon against Mrs. Edward W.
Mason for the killing OF Delavan $.
Cole on the night of August /. 1891.
IL was expected that the case would
not come Off, until the March term
When Mrs. Mason was arraigned and

guilty to the charge, but agreed to
plead guilty to manslaughter, which
was accepted by the prosecution. On

Office down town, which she accepted.
1t was in mis- Office that he took advan-

Her husband suspected her having
liasons with Cole and accused her OF
it and sne confessed to her nus
band. He told her Co.e must be killed.
and that she must DO the act. lie

Her courage failed her upon several
occasions when about to commit the
crime. and her husband pounded and
threatened her for two weeks previous
to the fatal night. Her statement OF
the meeting OF Cole and the killing

tically the same as the evidence of

HELENA, Mont. Jan. II. The event
of yesterday in the Senatorial con test
was the receipt by w A. Clark, the
caucus nominee, of telegram signed
by sixty-four Senators and Ropre-
sentativcs in Congress urging him to
take no step that would leopard the
election of a Democrat to succeed Sem
ator Sanders. Although they do not
say so, the plain inference is that they
wish him to get out of the field the
moment he has no chance to win.
There is said to be n strong sentiment
in Washington in favor of the election
of Dixon. Sixty-eight votes were cast
in the ballot yesterday, as follows:

much improved that he can be brought
into the House at any time his vote is
necessary. With him the Democrats
need only one of the Populists to give
them a majority on joint ballot, and
this one they have in Beecher, who
has announced within the last few
hours that he will vote for any Demo-
crat for United States Senator the
Democrats may agree upon.

The Situation In Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan. Jan. 20-The popu-
lists have finally decided to submit tho
question OF the Legality of the popuist
house organization to the supreme
court. They now begin to see that
the question will land there anyway,
and they are in hurry to have it done
with. TO this end the senate passed
and submitted TO the house the legis-
lative bill. The house will pass it and
the governor will sign it. Then the
republicans will enjoin the treasurer
from making any payments under it
on the ground that the bill was not
passed by the legally constituted house.
Thus the matter will finally get into
court.
The republican senator's met with the
republican house yesterday in Joint ses-
sion to elect a state printer but two
OF the senators who were present the
day before absented themselves and
there was no quorum present.
The two houses, still meeting on op-
posite sides OF representative hall.
transacted considerable routine bust
ness today without interfering with
each other. and late in the afternoon
adjourned until tomorrow.
Business in the senate is practically
at standstill ana no business of i'm
portance will be transacted until the
legality of one or the other OF the
houses is finally decided.
Governor Lewelliug last evening
handed to the Associated press repre-
sentative a long statement giving his
reason for recognizing the populst
house. In a nutshell his statement OF
the reason is that he believed the pop
ulist house to be legally organized and
the republican house to be illegally
organized. The statement quotes pre-.
cedent for his action.

Proposed silver Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l9.-Ihe anti
silver men in the house have made no
active move toward getting the An
drew-Cate bill up and it may be they
will now decide to wait on the senate.
1t is Mr.. Andrews intention. however,
to ask the committee on rules for a
DAY for the Dill ana free coinage men
expect they viii get it. Mr.. Bland,
Mr.. Pierce and others have rejected
all propositions looking to compro-
mise, and profess they are able to pre-
vent any attempt to force vote by
cloture or otherwise on the repeal OF
the Sherman act. Many anti-silver
men, however believe that good will
come OF the consideration OF the re-
peal, even il it be not passed, by Sc
curing test vote which will show that
a majority is opposed to the free coin
age and that fllioustering alone pre-
vented repeal OF the present law
The canvass that is being made Of
the house for the repeal of the DILL is

Cleveland is OF course very strong,

fair was given, or what answers to
the modern reception. The husband
and wife were standing in the pater-
nal home receiving guests when five
armed men suddenly gathered about
the doorway and shot the happy

when the baby was born, Mrs. Kcnna,

the duty OF revenge, but the spirit OF
Hannibal did not burn in the bosom
of John Kenna. He preferred TO
make friends OF his enemies rather
than kill them, hence his subsequent
