acquainted and she fell in love with
him. Her parents interfered and for

him. Shortly afterwards she eloped

All but one of the nominees of the
mass meeting for sschool trustees are
meeting with the strongest kind Of or
gained opposition. 1t is maintained

believe that the result of the mass
meeting, lately held for the nomination
of trustees. was not in accordance with
the non bipartisan professions ex
pressed in the call for such mass meet
ing, but ON the contrary that the meet

political or religious differences into
school matters is uncalled for are
asked to vote for and support the fol-
lowing ticket"

charged with murder in the first de-
gree. have returned verdict of not
guilty and Chisholm is now at liberty
The case has been on trial for nine
days and has excited great interest.
Last fall Robert Somers, the mining
partner of Chisholm, was found dead
near the bottom of a mine shaft. his
head having been blown off by
charge of giant powder. Chisholm dis
covered the dead body and notified the
miners working adjacent claims. An
investigation followed and Chisholm
was arrested on the charge of killing
Somers and subsequently exploding
powder to mutilate the body and cover
up the crime. He was tried during the
January term of court at Lewistown
