Hartman, Tenn. March Al
The Houk and Gibson battle was
fought over again in Roane County to-
day, and the little congressman won a
decided victory. Captain Tarwater,
chairman of the county executive COM
mlttee, called one of the largest mass
conventions to order that ever assem-
bic in the court house in Kingston.
twas evident, from the start that
ia fight was on, and that the chairman
was a partisan in the contest He al
once without asking for nomination
for chairman said, ~ name Major d.
M. Colfman as Temporary chairman,
and C. E. Hendrick, as temporary
secretary ofthis convention" Instant
| ly chorus of protests went up from
all parts of the room. J. c. Pope
nominated M. T. Millican for perma.
nent chairman of the convention.
Captain Tarwater refused to enter
tain or put the motion, and Major
Coffman mounted a table and attempt
ed to address the convention, which
refused to here him. Tarwater took
/ his seat and made no effort to restore
order or to prooeed with business.
Rev. Horace C'aNk mounted the stand
beside Cofman and said that such q
thing as a temporary chairman Of mass
convention was gnheard Of That the
chairman of the executive committee
had no right to name chairman for
the convention, and that as the chair
man of the executive committee refus

T. A. Wright AVID others urged the
followers of Coffman to take hleii
places on the left. The old battle flag
of the First Tennessee regiment was
Iin the room and happened to be on
the left sice, the person IN charge OF
it bore it to the Millican side of the
house amid the triumphant shouts ei
the Gibson men and the crowd was
thus distinctly divided, the Gibson
men .outnumbering their opponents, at
least, three to one and declared Mill
ican elected chairman. He mounted
1 the stand amid storm of applause
and the convention proceeded with
its business. 1t appointed delegates
10 the various conventions declared
for Mckinley, for president; Evans
for vice-president, and Gibson for
congress, and adjourned.
Although overwhelmingly defeated
Cofman maintained his place on the
stand and went through the motion of
holding convention. When the reg
ular convention presided over by
Millican completed its work and adj
ourned, 1t went into the court house
| yard and held a jollifica,ion meeting.
After those composing the regular
convention got into the yard the differ

well marked and it outnumbered. the

three to one.

DICE GIVEN EIGHT YEARS.
DashinE Career of the Convicted
COunterfeiter.

COunterfeiter.
Atlanta, Ga, March 23.-George w.
Dice, the man declared to be a very prince
of counterfeiters by the secret service
officers of the federal government, was
sentenced to serve a term of eight years
in the Ohio penitentiary by Judge Will
lam T. Newman to-day. Dice was indict-
ed for making and circulating counter
felt money, but Chief Hazen and his men,
who came on from Washington to push
the case against him. had no evidence to
convict him upon these charges and he
was allowed last week to enter a plea
of guilty to having the green goods I'm
his possession. Dice is undoubtedly one
of the most audacious criminals who ever
attempted to operate in this state. He
made his advent during the exposition.
after having, it is alleged operated on
an extensive scale in the west He was
a dashing' looking fellow and had his
plans well laid to make this a distribute
ing point for his business. He put up at
one of the SWEETEST hotels and took Of
fees in the Equitable building, posing 8
a speculator in cattle. In his preliminary
examination, Dice courted acquaintance
with responsibility. He threw himself in
company with substantial citizens of the
town and in fact succeeded in making a
circle of acquaintance among that class
that seems remarkable in view of the
fact that the officers Of the law were
close on his trail when he landed here.
On one occasion the prince of counter
letters was enjoying himself at box par
~ in company with several well-known
people at the Midway Trocadero at the
exposition when the secret service Off
Oers stopped at the place in search for
him. They did not recognize him, how
ever, surrounded by his friends of respec-
table society, and it was some time after
that that he was spotted. Dice now says
that he will write a book of his life to
serve as an object lesson to others. He
declares that he will be a model prison
er and hopes to get a pardon through
the influence of his wealthy friends of
the west
