The delegates at large are John r. Nc

Lean is proprietor Of the Cincinnati

silver for years in his paper. L. E.

Plain Dealer and The Evening Post at
Cleveland, and has also been an ardent
advocate of free silver. General E. B.

Chiffon A. White, who heads the
ticket for secretary of state, served in
congress during Lincoln's administra-
tion. He has not participated in poll
tics since the civil war until recently,
when he took an active part in advo-
eating free silver. The keynote of the
convention was silver. On that issue
all the nominations were based.
Neither the temporary or the permanent
chairman nor any others referred to
anything else in their speeches and the
platform covers only that one issue.

There Is one of these canine wander
ers in particular that has become a
familiar figure around the Florence
hotel. He sleeps all day on the south
porch OF the hotel, and does his wan
dering and foraging in the night time.
He has taken a strong liking to officer
Larson of the night force and he fol-
lows the policeman on his beat most
OF the night He is not a quarrelsome
dog, but is happy If the officer will pay
him little attention. A word or two
from Larson will set his tail to wag-
ging, and he will shadow his friend as
long as he is permitted to do so. He
is a black shepherd dog with white
face, and the most woebegone express
sion that any animal ever wore. He
is a mark for all of the other dogs In
town and he is usually covered with
mud or dust from being rolled around
in the street. He takes IL all as IL
comes and as soon as his tormentors
are through with him he runs on after
his policeman friend. He is a great
sport and he plays with an old shoe by
the hour and his antics furnish amuse-
ment to the crowd of idlers that is al

IT'S A SETTLED CASE
The HigginS-PrtScOt suit Decided in
Favor of the Defendant.
INTERESTING ALL THROUGH
Eits of Campaign Lore DivuIged,
and More as EagerlyLooked
for BY the Spectators
Old Mother Glenn again.

Missoula, Mont, May 1s.-All of the
time Of the district court to-day was
taken up with the trial of the case of
Higgins VS.. Prescott, and the audience
was highly entertained by the crossffre
of compliments that passed between
the lawyers and the witnesses. The
case opened this morning with the
REORGANIZATION of the defendant,
and the plaintiff introduced testi-
mony in rebuttaL. The policy of the
plaintiff was to deny the existence of
the agreement which Prescott testified
yesterday existed between himself and
Mr.. Higgins as to the expenditure of
the money for which the suit was
brought. 1t was attempted by the
plaintiff to show that the money was
drawn by Prescott for his own use and
the assertion was made that IL was used
to pay gambling debts and for election
expenses that the defendant undertook
on his own behalf, as he expected to be
made city marshal IL Mr.. Higgins was
elected mayor This was in brief the
line of the testimony for the plaintiff.
The arguments were somewhat bitter
and more or less personal j. X. Wood
was the attorney for the plaintiff and
the defendant was represented by +.
c. Webster and ]. NJ. Evans. The testi-
mony was renewed and the question
was discussed IN all OF 1tS phases.
There was an attempt made to divulge
some of the secrets of the fall cam
paign that was eagerly looked for by
the audience, but it was not to be. 1t
was suppressed, and there was a sigh
of disappointment from the audience.
The case went to the jury at O'clock
and at 6: 80 a verdict was reached. The
verdict was in favor of the defendant,
and there was a special finding that
the settlement claimed to have been
made by Prescott was made as he said.
The case of Boughton VS.. Rankin was
begun just before adjournment.
Mrs Glenn was in court again to-
day, this time as prosecuting witness
in a police court trial of Billy Prene-
veau, who weighs about 100 pounds,
and who was charged with an assault
with an ak upon Mrs. Glenn. who is
three times as heavy as he. Preneveau
was held to await the action of the
district court
1t is thought that the case against
Louis Bumbaugh for grand larceny will
not come to trial, as there will proba-
bly, be a motion made to dismiss the
case. 1t is said that the prosecuting
witness does not wish to press the case
now, as he has been remunerated for
his loss.
There was a fair audience at the
opera house this evening to witness
the dances given by Broken Eagles
band of Cree Indians. The entertain

in Canada, by request of his exce1lency,
Governor Richards and the persuasion
of the war department.
