night before, looking down with his
last glance on a scene Of strife. He
rose again in beauty. The eastern sky
was glowing with his presence. The
slumbering world awoke. The leaves
were dripping wet with pearly dew.
The clover blossOmed in the fields
through which we marched. The scene
was one of peace on earth. But the
demon Of strife came down on 1t. I
saw the column advancing. Drawer
men never faced death. First, @ single
rifle shot was heard; another, and yet
another. The whole forest, into which
the troops had entered, was on fire.
The cannon Numbered forth it's voice.
Men were falling by the score.
One figure I distinctly saw IN ad-
vance. He rode a chestnut colored
horse. The horse was a warrior as
we'll as the rider. l admired the rider
in time Of peace. He was my friend.
l had never before seen him In battle.
The leaves of the trees rolled down
over his shoulders as though touched
by a heavy frost. Ten thousand bull
lets cut the branches and leaves from
the trees about his head. The rider
was calm, and quietly led on his
troops. Many fell to rise no more till
Gods trumpet calls them forth. But
still the rider held his place. He
seemed to be clad in invisible arlnOr.
Last wear some of us who had been in
that battle met together. What strange
questions were asked! | asked him
how it came that he escaped death in
the place he was, and he replied; "A

ceuturing to make any other announce

vcn,ion struck a snag when Missouri
WIS reached, and the chairman of the
united delegations made a brief speech
IN which he said that the delegation
WAS under positive instructions to cast
It's twenty-five votes for L. S. Grant;
thai he and his associates would sup
mort any nominee of the convention,
but they must obey orders from home.
This caused a sensation, and grOwls
OF disapproval arose from all parts of
the conventions; for it was evident that
this unfortunate complication might
prevent q unanimous vote for Lincoln.
Tie Missouri delegates, it should be
understood, had been chosen many
weeks before the nomination Of Lin
coin became inevitable. There never
was any recall Of the instructions given
at a time when it was apparently
among the possibilities thatanOther than
Lincoln might be the nominee Of the
national convention.
When the clerk Of the convention an
bounced the result of the roll-call, it
was found that Abraham Lincoln had
Boz votes and U. S. Grant % votes.

HARRY IS VERY GAY
Hayward LlBglad AO5t Of the Time
Yesterday.
MAG HAS A SHARP TONGUE
Miss Wachter Roasted Everyone in
Sight When She Took the stand
1t Was Fun for the Fellow
On the Dock.

MINNEAPoIIs, Mimi, Feb. 1s.-"How
does it look now, old man. asked Harry
Hayward, after court adjourned this after
noon, as he slapped friend on the back
and laughed heartily. lie was in good
humor. 1t had been day for the de-
fense. After four days of trial the defense
has at last made a mark with the testi-
mony of Maggie Wachter, stenographer,
the state having Withdrawn its objections
to her testifying.
Miss Wachter was voluble, positive, and
could not be shaken by cross-exaniua-
tion. She called Blixt liar, OdelI a
schemer to make money out of the
county; she said Assistant County Attor-
ney Hull is a bulldozer and an intimidator
of women.
Harry was jubilant, but yet controlled
himself with occasional outbursts of
laughter. as Miss Wachter would make
an unusually savage thrust at Odell or
Hull.
After the court adjourned Hill stated
that there was not a word of truth in what
she had said about him.
In her evidence she said Hill had called
on her and attacked her character in n
most abusive and scandalous manner.
The witness was asked if she did not
threaten Odell to make it hot for him
and il she did not say she
had been offered money for
Blixt's statement. She was also asked If
she did not tell Olsen that she knew some
thing about the case, for Odell said some-
thing as they were going out of Blixts
cell. She denied all this fatty. The
other Witnesses of tho day were unim-
portant.
MINNEAPoLIs, Feb. 18.-The state
spraug a surprise in the Hayward murder
trial to-day when it Withdrew all opposi-
ton to the introduction of Maggie Wach-
ter's testimony. Miss Wachter is the
! stenographcr of BliNt's attorney, who was
to testify. Blixt stated to his attorney in
her presence that it was with Adry Hay
ward and not with Harry he had con-
spired to murder Miss Cling.
| The court was unwilling to admit the
! testimony without the direct consent of
| Blixt. who was brought from Jail and
questioned personally by Judge Smith.
| He had no objection, he said, but Miss
Wachter was i'll and could not be present
to-day.
The sudden change of front on the pari
of the state is said to be due to its ability
TO impeach Miss Wachter's testimony alb
solutely. BlNt's attorney will eontrad CT
it, and it is also understood that the state
has ascertaincd from COMPLIANT of Miss
| Wachter the true inwardness of the evil
| dcnce.

The o. X. a y. People Think He Is Too
Much of Receiver.

Much of Receiver.
PORTLAND, Feb. 1S.-Ihe Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation company to-day filed
its answer TO tho complaint of the Farm
crs' Loan & Trust company, under which
Mcneil was appointed receiver of the o.
II. q y. Co. The answer alleges that Nc
Neill has not controlled or operated the
lines and properties in the interest OF the
defendant, or for its benefit, and further
that Receiver Mcneil, for the express
purpose of preventing the earnings and
receipts of sufficient revenues with which
TO meet and pay off all interest require
ments and the coupons now due on the
mortgage of the Farmers Loan q Trust
company, has diverted the freight and
passenger business originating at Port
land and destined to Portland and which
ought properly to be transported over the
whole line of the o. II. q v, to a connec-
ton with other lines at La Crosse junction
and other points in the state of Washing
ton and elsewhere.
This allegation refers to the traffic ar
rangements between Receiver McNeill
and the Great Northern under which a
considerable amount of through business
comes via spokane instead of Hunting
ton. The defendant further alleges that,
Notwithstanding the diversion of busi-
ness from the main line by Receiver Nc
Neill, he has received. and now has in his
possession, sufficient revenues, not sub
ject to lien or prior demand, TO meet and
nav off all interest of the coupons of the
Farmers Loan & Trust company mort
gage; that this should be done and that
the road should bo returned TO tho COR
porate officers of the o. Il. & y. The de-
fendant asks that the complaint be dis
tlnlssel with costs.

Territorial Courts.

TAHLEQUAH, 1. T., Feb, e.-This
city and the Cherokee Nation Is just
now in ferment over the probability
of the passage by the present con-
greSs OF the Morgan amendment TO
the Indian appropriation bill, provid
ing for additional federal courts for
the territory and taking away the
Jurisdiction OF the Indian courts in
all murder cases and large civil suits.
The Cherokees want the court, but do
not take exactly TO the idea OF losing
Jurisdiction OF some OF their own
cases. The towns mentioned for the
location OF the courts view the pas
sage Of the amendment with delight.
Many leading Cherokees are already
taking steps TO secure the appoint
ment Of Hon. c. B. Kilgore, OF Texas,
for judge, and A. E. Ivy for marshal
OF the northern district, in case the
amendment passes, as the most pre-
ferable men for those positions.
Great enthusiasm prevails over the
news from Washington that the con-
ference committee has agreed unai-
mously on the Morgan amendment.
which almo.t assures its passage.
The proposed courts, IL is believed, II
they are established, will be the
means OF spreading a new era Of pros
perity over the territory.
