while there were only 1000 voters in
Gravesend they, had registered $3.50
names. and would have voted them all
Mr.. Shepard then made an attack
on Mr.. Troy's strong argument. by
declaring that there was no provision
not be a thousand watchers If so de-
sired. Continuing Mr.. Shepard said:
-" Republicans and Democrats are all
the same in the town OF Gravesend:
John Y. Mckane. to do his bidding.
They were all included in the conspiracy
against Mr.. Gaynor;"
Mr.. Shepard made a strong point by
his attack on that part of Judge Troy's
argumnt relating to the appointment Of
the watchers.
Mr., Troy interrupted the speaker sew
eral times and became visibly excited as
Mr.. Shepard proceeded.
1t was the place of the police and the
Chief Of Police, Mckane, to permit Mr..
tifcates to the Inspectors of Election.
But. instead, they prevented them-for-
chilly, prevented them.
Now, the crime OF the Election In
spectors was that these inspectors saw
MIR. R~osenbeck's certificate as a watch
ers, tore 1t, and disregarded the mandate
of the Court"
MIR. Shepard then reviewed the scenes
at Gravesend on Election Day, making
an attack on the afiidavits Of McKane
and his henchmen. He wondered that
instead of twenty-five or thirty afi-
davits. submitted in coroboration OF Nc
every man in Gravesend.
During Mr.. Shepard's argument, the
spectators became deeply interested, and
Justice Cullen leaned over the desk In
order to catch every word from the
speaker. Ex-Secretary Tracy sat direct
ly behind Mr.. Shepard and next to
General Catlin.
Justice Cullen Interrupted Mr.. shep-
ard to saw:
The question Is, did Justice Barnard
have Jurisdiction to issue that injunc-
question before an opinion on the case
can be rendered"
MI. Shepard acquiesced to the sug-
gestion Of the Court to ascertain the
the election applications for mandam-
uses had been made. and It would hav
been futile to have made an application
Shepard, In closing, said:
II beg Of Your Honor not to ans
form this case into n dilatory and pro-
tracted law suit, by which the culprits
AS Mr.. Shepard finished. ~ex-Judge Troy
jumped to his feet and said he objected
to the Attorney-Generai or his Deputy

cation OF certain people interested in
Justice Cullen only smiled at the
Mr.. Troy then continued to argue on
the validity OF the appointment OF Nc
Kane's watchers and the invalidity of
the appointments for Gaynor.
Mr.. Troy's second plea for McKane
was stronger than the first, and at times
his voice had a slight touch OF pathos
in II.
Gen. Catlin made separate pleas for a

Contrary to the reports which have
been telegraphed here from Chicago that
he litigation over the will of the late
Andrew }. Davis. of Montana. who left
an estate of SO, 900. 900. had been settled
efforts were begun here to-day to bring
the litigation into the courts of this
county.
An application was made to Surro-
gate Ransom to-day for the appointment
of an administrator In this city. to take
charge of whatever part of the estate
may be found In this State.
The application was made in behalf OF
Mrs. Harriet r. Sheffield. a neice Of

the Montana courts. She wishes to
have the matter of the validity of her
uncle's Will disposed of here.
Several lawyers interested in the case
were in court when Surrogate Ransom
heard the motion.
Lawyer W: s. Logan and y. L;
Col. Robert lngersoll and K. H. Griffin
opposed the application.
All of the lawyers deny emphatically
the truth of the telegraphic reports of the
settlement of the litigation, and declare
that the case Is a long way from a set
Element.
Mrs. Shefield's lawyers argued that
there was a conspiracy among parties
in Montana to deprive their client of her
rights.
At the first trial of the case in Mon
tana, 1t was claimed that the will was
a forgery. The jury disagreed.
Cel. Ingersoll, in arguing against the
application, stated that there was no
property Of the estate here such as
would justify the appointing of an ad-
ministrator.
Several years ago there was property
IN this city belonging to Davis, which. y
is alleged, amounted to several hundred

In answer to that affidavit Col. Inger-
soil declared that Irwin Davis was really
Indebted to his brothers estate about
$500, 900. He stated that there was moth

Col. Ingersoll insisted that Mrs. Shelf

her rights would be we'll taken care of

There is not one dollars worth OF

Mr.. Logan. I'VE think there Is a great
deal OF the properly here. We a to
examine to find where It Is. I'VE think

The Surrogate interrupted at this
point, saying, laughingly: Il think, II
