TO TILT IN MAY WEEK.
The HuSsars VIII Not Hold Their
Tournament on May 4.

The Hussars will probably have their
annual tilt during May week. Lieut.. A.
Minis who had charge of the matter ap-
pointed a committee consisting of Ser

z. /. Gilbert and G. A. Gordon TO make
arrangements for the tilt. Their report
was heard at an informal meeting last

matter ~ was decided not to hold the tilt
on May /, but to postpone 1t until a later
date.
The company medal is an annual one

the laurels from him, SO IL is altogether
probable that the annual tilt will be one
of the interesting features of May week.

DURRANT AND GIBSON
Who, II Either Of Them, Is Guilty Of
The Horrible Crime?
MANY DIFFER IN OPINION
The Police Claim They Have a Very
Strong Case Against the stu
dent In the Lamont Part
of the Affair.

SAN Francisco. April 26.-As the ex-
animation of Theodore Durrant, charged
with the murder of Minnie Williams. pro-
crosses the fishing policy OF the defense
becomes more apparent. During tho
earlier days of the trial an attempt was
made by defendants counss. to cast sus-
picion on Rev. George Gibson, pastor of
the Emanuel church. Durrant's attorneys
have so far failed in developing any tanai-
BILE evidence connecting the minister with
the tragedies.
To-day Elmer A. Wolfe, q witness for
the prosecution, who corroborated pre-
vious testimony concerning Durrant's
tardiness and disshevelled appearance mt
the Christian Endeavor meeting on Good
Friday evening, was cross-examined by
the defendants attorneys, who en-
deavored to show that a similarity be-
tween the respective hats and overcoats
of Wolfe and Durrant and the resem-
biance in stature and form had led to
Durrants mistaken Identification by per-
sons who had really seen Wolfe. The
latter accounted for all his movements
from noon on Good Friday until his ar
rival at his ranch at o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning.
George X. King. the organist of the
church, Librarian of tho Sunday school
and an associate of Durrant, testified that
he had no key to the side door Of the
church, although Durrant had, but both
had keys to the library, the pair having
recently placed n new lock on the door,
King said he had done considerable work
about the church, but had used tools in
the building, Pastor Gibson keeping
hammer and chisel in his study.
Denis Welch, an Alameda policeman,
had seen Durrant with Minnie Williams
in Alameda twice at least, the last time
on March 30. On one occasion Durrant
was brought to the station late at night.
having missed the last boat. He rested
on n bench till daylight.
DIR. j. l.. Barrett, who performed the
autopsy. was then called, the prosecuting
attorney suggesting that the large num-
ber OF ladies present should withdraw.
Chief Crowley says that in the Lamont
case the police would present an even
stronger chain of circumstantial evidence
against Durrant than in the case of Min
ME Williams. The chief says that the
case Is perfect, and If Durrant is limo
cent his position is indeed unfortunate.

GILT EDGE, Mont. April 26.-The entire
plant of the Double Eagle Mining COM
pany of Maiden was sold at sheriff's sale
Thursday to satisfy judgments of three
preferred creditors, ageregating about

to be knocked off to the highest bidder.

ness the sale, but few of them cared to

The Kentucky Favorite and Lorita, two
adjoining claims were knocked of at So
900. Two placer claims brought 81 900.
Personal property of the company, in
cluding assay Office, boarding house, lot
Of quick silver and other mining supplies

The total consideration for the entire
plant was Sl4, 500. The Bank of Fergus
county, the Power Mercantile company
and NJ. L. Poland of Maiden, preferred
creditors, bid in everything.
