Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1896-06-11

There was good turn out of inde'
pendents at Courtenay Money night.
The Independents not only claim to have
held their own but that there are more
from the three counties of Grlggs,
Foster and Stutsman than two years ago.
The silver question is the one that is
uniting farmers OF all political beliefs,
and many express themselves as willing
for once to drop party nominations if not
in accord with their views and vote for
candidates who will favor the restora-
ton OF silver coinage. The past winter
it appears that good many farmers
have been reading and thinking on the
question and have made up their minds
to try the new plan as the only practical
solution of low prices that is offered to
act upon.
In Kensal there we're few independ-
ents attended the caucus, notwithstand-
ing that everybody was busy. One
independent said today that this is more
than can be said for the primaries OF the
other parties. The independents, as fal
as caucuses 60, are not only holding their
own, but in some places gaining in mum,
bers and next fall will show it.

few minutes and the incident closed.
Martin Ryan of Csss thought it proper
to instruct the delegation and made
motion to that effect which was prompt.
ly seconded. There was no question, he
said, as to the feelings Of the majority Of
the party of this state on the issue. They
have got to make the issue straight as
the next contest will be fought out on
that line. He wunted to have the
question fought out in the convention;
he believed the majority were IN favor Of
silver.
V.B. Noble opposed instruction; the
question was too broad, deep and far
reaching to try to discuss in convention.
Mr.. Campbell Of Morton thought that
no one should be dictated to by another;
that every one has the right to express
his own opinion without dictstion. BE
was opposed to instructions, but wanted
to discuss the subject.
Mr.. Ryan offered to withdraw the
motion and leave the matter to the dele
gates, but the cry Of "vote" went up on
all sides and the chairman raped vainly
for some time before order was restored
Members beginning to leave the house,
the vote was demanded and considerable
confusion existed. The question was
hardly out the speakers mouth when it
carried with cheers, and Immediately
after the chair could see only the face of
Jimmie" Campbell among the fleeing
delegates as he struggled against the
tide toward the speaker to get in 'just
one more notion"

The letter was placed on file and nc
action taken.
Ex-Gov. Shortridge was present at
the meeting to suggest the praoticability
and propriety Of union Of forces of the
Independents and democrats and al
others holding the same financial views
for state campaign, with the silver issue
as basis. His remarks and suggestions
were we'll received, the sentiment being
overwhelmingly predominant that the
democrats would prefer to make join,
ticket with the independents upon such
terms az will be satisfactory instead Of
putting up single ticket and 60 in the
ditch as they did two years ago. The
committee was assured positively
that an arrangement could be made with
the independents which would be not
only satisfactory but successful. All
that was asked of the democrats was the
appointment OF a campaign committee
composed Of the very best men of the
party in the state. The democratic com.

For X covery aud Damages.

Richard Mangon yesterday COM
menced an action against Alex Gillian,
sheriff of Jefferson county, for the re-
covery of two head of horses wagon.
harness and two cows which the de-
PENDANT is alleged to have wrongfully
taken possession of on the 10th of Hast
January. Mangon says he was en-
gagged in hauling and selling wood and
was earning his own livelihood and
had no other means of support and re-
quired the use of the property at
tached. He claims the property was
exempt but the sheriff refused to re-
lease it. The plaintiff was damaged
$40 by reason of the wrongful deten-
ton of his property and was damaged
further in the sum Of 1865 as the value
of the outfit for which he asks judg-
ment together with the value of the
use of the property at the rate of $1.50
from the 10th of January.
Mangon also brought suit against
Theophile Bonneau, A. A. Gagner and
M. II. Sanders for s355.32. which he
seeks to recover on an undertaking on
attachment issued in suit of Bonneau
against Mangon on Jan. for s202.50.
and which suit was recently decided In
favor of Mangon on a counter claim.
Before the trial of the suit the attached
property was sold by the sheriff Of

TIBURON ISLAND.
strange People Found by Explorers
but No Sign OF Mineral Wealth.

Los ANGELES. Cal, Feb. 15.-S. c. Mil
fard, who acted as guide and interpreter
for Professor McGee and his party in their
exploration of Tiburon island. in the Gulf
or California, has returned from the ex-
pedftion with overfiowing supply of in
teresting things to relate. He says the
island Is about eighteen by thirty miles in
size and rises four thousand feet above the
encircling waves OF the Gulf of California.
The land is barren and rocky, and is in
habited by about three hundred Ceres In
dians who are unlike any other known
race in appearance and language. They
wear very few clothes and scamper bare
rooted up and down the cliffs like wild
goats They never plant crops, but sub
sist on game, which is found in abun-
dance on the island. and the waters furnish
them with any quantity of fish, crabs and
oysters. The popular belief that the ma
uveS are cannibals has not been strength
ened by the visit of the explorers There
have been wild tales Of mines of fabulous
wealth on the island of lodges of silver
and copper ores of wonderful width and
thickness, but Mr.. Millard is inclined to
diScredit these stories. In the half of the
island which was visited he saw plenty of
rugged mountains, plenty of fertile valleys

George III. jackson is well known in this
city. He has been a driver for many years
for a great many reputable citizens. and
he has high reputation among them for
honesty and truthfulness. His story to the
Mayor tonight, under cross-examination,
never varied from the stories he gave TO
the Mount Auburn officers He is believed
to be perfectly truthful and entirely inno-
cent OF any guilty knowledge of the pur-
pose Of that trip out to Fort Thomas. There
were four members of the First Regiment
National Guards talking with him when
this man came up and engaged him TO
drive the surrey. This furnishes a clew to
very important witnesses, who have been
wanted for two weeks.

WALLING IDENTIFIED.
Driver jackson Not Sure that Scott
jackson Was the Other Man.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.-At midnight
George Fl. Jackson was taken to the jail
and the two men were brought out and
placed in a line of twenty-five or thirty,
resembling them as nearly as possible in
dress and appearance, and jackson was
asked to pick out the man who sat on the
seat when he drove the surrey to Fort
Thomas. He took his time about 1t, inspect
ing man by man. At last he went up to
Walling looked up and down from his head
to his feet, in front and all around him, and
then stepped out in front of him and said:
'T am sure this is the man that sat on
the seat with me-" Then he added: IF /
could hear his voice 1 could tell better
Walling was hidden to speak and to re-
peat the threats that he is alleged to have
made to the negro. He repeated them after
the negro. Jackson said: Il wish you
would put little more force in your
voice." Walling did so, rocking on his
heels and Slightly trembling, whereupon
the negro said:
That's his voice; only it's a little
stronger"
AS to Scott Jackson, he went round and
selected several men that seemed to be
about Jackson's size. He said: II did not
see this man except when he got out of the
carriage in the darkness, and L only know
about his size. Bring him up by this other
man."
Scott Jackson was brought up by Walling.
The negro said: This looks like the other
man. I'd like TO hear mis- voice." Scott jack
son spoke. The negro said: speak little
louder He spoke again. The negro said:
Put more force in it," Scott Jackson put
more force in it. The negro said: Il can't
be sure about this man. His voice sounds
very like the voice of the man who told me
to turn the carriage around and who helped
the woman out, only it was great deal
harsher. Jackson bluShed trifie and Wal
ling seemed to grow very nervous. Both were
taken to their cells and locked up.
The negro, George II. Jackson, is now II
ing out with the detectives on the road
TO where he took these people the night of
the murder. The police consider the identih-
cation very complete as far as Walling is
concerned.
