COLT COURT OF INQUIRY.
Evidence That Shows the Troops Barely
Escaped Destruction.

COLUMBUS, o.. November 2l.-A
| striking and important piece Of evidence
was presented to the Colonel Colt Court
OF Inquiry to-day. 1t was a basket con-
| tanning forty sticks of dynamite. that was
found concealed near the courthouse the
morning after the rioting at Washington
Courthouse
The find was kept secret until to-day.
| 1t confirms the report that the rioters,
after the shooting. planned to blow up
| the courthouse, troops and all.
Colonel Colt was warned Of this by
telephone messages, and. placing troops
| in the balconies Of the building, he ordered
them to halt all persons attempting TO
approach the courthouse that night, and
to fire upon any who refused to stop.
Several shots were fired at persistent
skulkers and then all the rioters disap-
peared.
1t now seems probable that this precau-
ton prevented the angry mob from de-
stroying the troops
The Court Of Inquiry heard evidence to
this effect from Colonel Colt:
He was not at the door where the firing
occurred when II occurred. Later he re-
ceve1 telephone messages to get his men
out as the house was to be blown up
with dynamite. Colonel Colt laid stress
! on the fact that the orders TO fire In
case the doors were broken. or stone
was thrown, or q shot fired at the men
were given by himself.
His reasons for keeping the men In the
house after the negro had been taken
| there was TO avoid the possibility of
| stones being thrown at the men, thus
necessitating firing by them and perhaps
| the killing of innocent persons. He also
| believed the withdrawal Of the troops
| to the house would result In less excite
| ment outside.
| In answer to a question relating to the
| statements that he was intoxicated, Colo
| mel Colt testified that he had not entered
saloon during the day, but on account
OF being cold In the evening Surgeon
Guerin prescribed not to exceed two
ta5lespoonfuls of stimulant, and that was
| all the liquor he saw or drank at WASH
ington courthouse He did not see any
of his men intoxicated, nor did he see
| liquor In possession Of any Of them.
When the order to load was given In
the afternoon the crowd numbered nearly
| 700 They were threatening the lives
| OF Sheriff Cook and himself. The men
were given positive orders when they first
went there not to enter saloons.
Colonel Colt said he was not given as
sistance by the local police, and that the
authority to load and fire was found in
| the discretion given to commanding Off
GERS in the regulations.

REED AND THE SPEAKERsHIP.
No Likelihood That He Will Have Apv
Difficulty In Being Elected,

washington Evening Star-Ind.)
The report is being circulated. with
much apparent eagerness and acerblty In
some quarters. that Thomas b. Reed, of
Maine, will experience some difficulty In
being elected Speaker Of the next House.
Some Of the statements 60 80 far even as
TO indicate that he may be defeated The
explanation Is that the friends OF Benja-
min Harrison and Of Mr.. Mckinley will
oppose his election as Speaker in order
that he may not, through the Speakers
chair, obtain too great prominence as
presidential candidate.
There Ii nothing In the present or pro-
bable situation to warrant any such con-
illusions. Indeed, the oldest Republican
members Of the House say that they do
not understand that there will be a Re-
publican Candidate for Speaker In oppo-
sition to Mr.. Reed. As for the opposition
Of Mr.. Mckinley. there Is the statement
Of Mr.. Mckinley himself that he favors
the election OF Reed ~ Speaker. Mr..
Mckinley, In his ST. Louis speech, urged
as one OF the strongest arguments why
the Republican Congress should be elected
that Mr. Reed might be chosen Speaker.
1t IL known that Benjamin Harrison has
spoken very kindly OF the probable re-
turn Of Mr.. Reed to the Speakers chair.
IL Mckinley and Harrison both favor
the selection OF Mr.. Reed for Speaker. II
h dinicult to see how the followers Of
either Of those presidential aspirants can
expect 10 form q combination to prevent
Mr. Reed from being chosen Speaker.
BURROWS FOR REED.
Mr.. Burrows. Of Michigan. has been
mentioned a. Q candidate for the speak
ershp. The ambition OF Mr.. Burrows. II
10 true. Is rather comprehensive. He has
been chosen member Of the next House:
and IL an aspirant for the United States
senatorphip. 10 succeed Mr.. Pstton. But
20 far a. the speakership ID concerned. It
IL known that Mr.. Burrows has declared
In favor OF Mr.. Reed for Speaker One Of
the Oldest Republican msmbers OF the
House eaid to-day: III there should be q
desire on the part Of Mckinley and Har.
rison u defeat Reed tor Speaker. ths

Summer Fallowing.

The dry spell thus far this season
has demonstrated to nicely the fact
that it pays to summer fallOw. Sew
eral farmers have reported at this
office stating that the land which was
so treated last year has not been dis
turbed by the winds and that the
crops on this ground look thrifty and
are standing the drOuth exceedingly
we'll. Summer following causes the
ground to settle and retain more
moisture than that plOwed late in the
fall or in early spring. Nor is this
the greatest reason for summer fall
lowing. Land should have rest and
by so treating it the weeds are nearly
all killed and when you again crop
the plat the grain has double advan-
tage over a farm which is cropped
every season.

Condemned In His Own Court.

1t is not often that judge is con-
demned in costs in the very court
over which he presides. This novel
experience has come to the judge de
paix, or county court judge, of Com
mentry, near Montlucon. The judge,
M. Bouchard, had dispute with his
baker about an account, and the ba-
ker took out a summons against him.
When the case came on for hearing.
M. Bouchard stepped off the bench
and begged his substitute to decide it.
The substitute did so, and the result
was that the judge was ordered to
pay the amount in dispute, together
with the costs of the proceedings
