terms, the two being thrown together
to some extent, the former being editor
of the only Democratic paper in this

councils of the Democratic party. About
nine years ago Lawler married Miss
Ella Sturgis, daughter of General
Sturgis of the United States army, and
came to Mitchell to reside. He became
President of the First National Bank,
and continued in that position to the

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-The
steamship San Jose, which arrived from
Panama and way ports last Sunday,
brought some interesting news about
President Gutirrez and Antonio Ezeta
from San Salvador. The country is
finding the burden Of keeping prepared
for an invasion very irksome, and Gut
errez is seeking for some means OF
ending the trouble. EZeta's arms are
still in the hands of the Colombian au-
thorities, and his tug, the Barclay
Golden, has been captured. He is still at
liberty, and as he still has a large fol-
lowing in his native country, the Gov
errment is constantly fearing an up
rising.
According to the, officers and passen-
gers on the San Jose, this state OF at-
fairs will probably soon be changed.
Ezeta's friends are working with Gut
irrez, and the prospect for reconcilia-
ton were very good when the steamship
sailed Should Ezeta be forgiven he
will be restored to citizenship and prob
ably have his property returned. In
this way it is hoped that trouble will be
ayerted.
