ming ia q national contest, To re-
establish bimetalism the vote OF the

Young Alexander Loughborough, the
lawyers son, who shot and wounded
'Brick" Whitehouse and Max Resented
in Gobey's saloon Thanksgiving night,
was examined in Judge Conlans court
yesterday upon a charge of assault to MUIR
der. The courtroom was damned with
football experts and baseball-players, ath-
letes who are renowned or think they are
renowned, and representatives of blase
swelldom.
The young defendant was pallid and
nervous. While his father and Carroll
Cook, who defended him, were trying to
tangle up the witnesses for the people, he
sat with one hand on the table before him
and with the other brushed back his re-
bellious curls and toyed with his glasses.
His attitude and demeanor told better
than words could tell how deeply he de-
plored the event of that wild holiday
night when he perforated the epidermis OF
his companions and made a sensation in
the tenderloin district.
