LOHLAER With FIGHT
TESTIMONY IN THE CONTEST HAS
ALL BEEN HEARD BY JUDGE
OTIS.
TIME ALLOWED FOR BRIEFS.
AN ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE EvI-
DENCE OF A SENSATIONAL
KIND FAILED.
CAPT. BERGER ON WITNESS STAND,
Deceased Told Him His Wife Was
ImpOrtuning Him to Disfnherit
His Daughter.

The long drawn out Lohlker will con-
test was concluded before Judge Otis
yesterday afternoon, when the matter
was finally argued by the attorneys and
submitted to the court Each of the
litigants was allowed ten days in
which to file briefs, when the court win
review the case preparatory to render
ing a decision.
Capt. Berger was on the stand yes
terday morning and testified to having
met Mr.. Lohlker on Seventh street
shortly before his death and to having
a conversation with him concerning
the making of a will. At that time Mr.
Iohlker said he was contemplating the
making of a will and that his family
was causing him considerable trouble
with respect to the matter His wire,
he said, was continually importunins
him to disinherit his daughter. Mi
Lohlker had remarked that he intended
To do what was right by all of his
children, but that the present Mrs.
Lohllzer and his son William, had EN-
deavored to influence him.
DR.. Bole, called by the attorneys for
the appellant, was asked a lengthy
Hypothetical question, covering the
facts in the case as they appear III
evidence, and then asked if these facts
were true if in his opinion Mr.. Lohlker
had not entertained an insane pre-
judice against his daughter, Jessie.
Witness answered in the negative ana
maintained his assertion throughout a
confusing cross-eXamination.

Mrs Mary Fritz on the stand and pro-
posed to introduce evidence of sensa-
tional nature concerning certain letters
alleged to have passed between George
Fritz, a son of the witness, and Mrs.

Charles A. Towne lost the first point
in his legal battle with the Dispatch
in connection with his $4,000 damage
suit for alleged libel The setback came
yesterday in the nature of an order by
Judge Otis denying plaintiffs motion
to strike out portions of defendants

presented several weeks ago and on
the part of the plaintiff tended to show
that certain parts of the answer cover
ing Mr.. TONNES political career for the
past year were plead in mitigation Of
the alleged libelous article, when as a
matter of law the defendant had
waived all right to plead mitigation
by refusing to retract the objection

was that as the article was alleged to
be libelous in whole and in part it was
proper to file in the answer any and all
facts which might tend to the justif1-
cation of the publication.

ton, as provided by law. The proposed
amendment will require that the voter
shall have been citizen 80 days prior to
the election. The intent of this is OBJ
vious. 1t is to prevent the wholesale
naturalization of citizens Immediately
prior to elections. The proposition GER
tainly has merit, and there can be no
doubt that it will, as ii should, be adopt.
ed. : The Montana laws require five
years residence in the country as con-
dition to citizenship and provide that
none but citizens shall be entitled to the
elective franchise. The amendment goes
just step further and in the right di-
rection. 1t will prevent the making of
legal voters to serve the purposes of pol
iticians and parties of men whose vote is
too often purchased with the cost of nat
uralization papers.

tard branch of the republican party"
Do the candidate for governor and
other state officers indorse this senti-
ment, and will the silver republicans
submit to it or resent it? The fact is
since the McKinleyites got control of
the Helena convention and nominated
the ticket, they have very properly been
carrying things with high hand.
They feel that the silver men must do
as they want them to do and at the
same time take all the abuse showered
upon them. To tell the truth it looks as
though the silver men rather enjoyed
this abuse and are ready to play second
fiddle to the Sanders crowd. One thing
is certain, vote for Alex Botkin is
vote for Mckinley and against the best
interests of the state of Montana.

The silver men Of Helena have organ
lied for the campaign and are hard at
work They do not anticipate there will
be any work for them in this state but
their object is to aid the cause by send
ing money to the national democratic
committee and literature to the doubtful
states. q this effort they ask and urge
the cooperation Of all silver men in all
sections OF Montana. There has Just
reached US the following appeal signed
by Jos. X. Toole, president of the Helena
bimetallic club:
"The undersigned at the request Of the
bimetallc club Of Helena hereby in
vitoa every other bimetalic club in the
state of Montana to send three dele
gates to the city of Helena to meet at
noon on Monday, Sept. q, 1896, for the
purpose Of organizing state bimetallic
league; and we urge the friends of BIZ
metalliem in every city and town Of
leagues and send delegates to the con-
vention hereby called. IL delegate is
unable to attend, he should send proxy
to some friend in Helena, and thus be
represented. In excuse for the brief
period allowed by this call, we offer the
manifest necessity Of immediate action
il the state of Montana is to contribute
to the success of the great compaign
now being waged against thoroughly
equipped organization, supplied with
literature without limit, speakers in
abundance and funds adequate for any
demand"
This call is indorsed and approved by
w. M. Cockrill, chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committees; Lee
Mantle, chairman of the silver repub-
lican party and G. o. Reed, chairman of
the populist state committee. Space is
cheerfuly given the appeal, and the peo-
pie of Great Falls are urged to make
some sort of a response to it. No need
to comment upon it, for it speaks for
itself, but there is need to act upon it.
AS the appeal says, there is no time to
be lost; therefore, let the people Of Great
Falls get gait on them, unless they de-
sire to be placed in the list Of those who
are careless az to results. We know
that the vote Of the city and county is all

No right thinking man in the courtr,
but dcplores the elimination # the lii
ferences that have existed for molth=
between the miners and mine owners At
Leadville, The use Of dynamite, the .ja.
struction and bloodshed, and the inyo';.
ing Of the military arm of the govern
ment to maintain peace sent thri. Of
horror through the law abiding. Th-
miners claim that for the acts of .ag-
essncss they are not responsible, and
they are entitled to belief until the con.
trary is proved. The trouble ha-
certainly injured their cause, and it is
hardly probable they would be guilty of
any act in that direction, for they are as
class intelligent men. However, some
of the Mckinley papers have taken al,
vantage of the riot and, gloatng over It
political capital out of it. The speciai
point they make is that the Lcadvi!e
trouble is natural outcome of the plank
in the Chicago platform that protests
against federal Interference in state
afIars. Such a conclusion is unjust
and Infamous. 1t has no foundation in
fact No matter who may be respone.
bic for the unfortunate condition of af-
fairs in Leadville, they antedate the
convention by many months, and were
in no wise influenced by it. Further
than this, up to date, there has been no
apparent need for the federal authorities
taking part. the governor, the sheriff
of the county, the citizens and the
state militia appear to be equal
to the emergency While it is a mat
ter of sincere regret that any such
occasion has arisen, it is none the less
commendab!e that the constituted city,
county and state officials have found
themselves able and ready to enforce the
laws and protect life and property. The
efforts of the Mckinley press to make
capital out of the sad event is ghouIish
and is but further illustration Of the
desperate straits their cause is in.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-09-25

Many men are visiting Canton on cX-
cursions and wearing Mckinley buttons,
from Chicago, and other cities, who
intend to vote for Bryan. 1t is an out
rage that men are compelled to resort TO
such deception, yet they cannot do
otherwise. Under the reign of terror
ism established by the manufacturers
and bosses in the centcrg, no employe
can expect to hold his job unless he is
apparently, at least, in favor Of McKin-
ley. That such a condition exists in
this boasted land Of the free is sad
commentary on the methods of the
Hanna crowd. 1t gives the lie to their
original declaration that they would
conduct campaign of education. They
have asccrtained that the people know
too much to be fooled by their sophis-
tries and have fallen back on their only
weapon, intimidation. Who can blame
the employees for meeting force with de-
ception? 1t is justitiable under the cir
CumStances.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-09-25

The TRIBUNE has placed the name of
Mr.. Martin Of Belt in the list of cendi-
dates on the county ticket at the request
of his friends. This ia not done because
we expect to see him elected, but be-
cause he received the nomination for
clerk and recorder at the hands of the
democratic county convention and has
not thus far resigned the nomination.
His reasons for not doing 30 must be
satisfactory to himself, and, if they are,
no one has right to complain. He
does not appear to be in need OF advice
upon the subject and therefore none will
be offered him through these columns.
just the same, the gentleman must real
izs that his name looks rather lonely.
