AS IT SHOULD Be
Trial Of Scott jackson for the Murder
OF Pearl Bryan Is Well
Under Way.
JURY SECURED WITHOUT DELAY
The Prisoner Preserves a Very Calm
DemeanOr and Takes COpiOus
Notes.

ClNc1NNAT1, April 2l.-The trial of
Scott Jackson, for the murder of Pearl
Bryan, began at Newport, Kentucky, to-
day and the speed made in securing a
jury astoniehed the court and counsel on
both sides, Judge Helm presided, and
the court room WAS crowded.
In just three and half hours after
the court convened, jury was sworn in
from venire of 100 men. About 80
we're examined before the noon recess.
OF this number, II had formed stubborn
opinions or were opposed to the death
penalty. -Four were peremptorily chal-
lenged, one by the prosecution and three
by the defense, and nine we're accepted.
The noon recess was for two hours and
45 minutes. After the court had con-
vened again, q full panel, acceptable to
both sides, we're sworn in. The jury are:
Murty Shea, William White, John Boeh-
emer, John M. Earnestweiler, Louis
Scharstein, f. B. MAIDEN, William Motz,
Willard Carr, e. P. Stegner, j. F.. Bachs-
man, Fred Geiskemeyer, David Kraut.
Nearly all are mechanics, 10 are Ger
mans or of German descent, one is Irish
and one of English descent. There is
not native.born Kentuckian on the
jury. The prosecution is allowed five
and the defense Is peremptory chal-
lenges and each exhausted one-fifth of
its quota. Commonwealth Attorney
Lockhardt read the indictment and
stated what the line of prosecution
would be. In this he announced his
purpose to attack Jackson's character,
showing he lived double life.
The first witness called was John HUI
ing, the boy that found the dead body of
Pearl Bryan on February l. The second
witness, DR.. w. Tingley, who saw the
body two hours after it's discovery and
who attended both the postmortems,
gave important testimony. He said the
girl must have been killed where the
body was found, and not earlier than
midnight before the body was found;
that the knife that cut her head off was
sharp instrument, and the hand that
welded it was skilled hand. Judge
Helm aided in cross examining the wit.
ness. The defense objected and was
overruled and took exceptions. jackson
was calm all day and took notes of the
proceedings, especially of the testimony
He was taken back to jail without being
| handcutfed.

HOT RECEPTION,
New Orleans Negro Citizens Carry the
Reform Ticket,

New Orleans Negro Citizens Carry the
Reform Ticket.
New ORLEANS, April 21.-New Orleans
has whipped the boodlers off the face OF
the earth, and, despite one Of the strong.
est ring organizations in the country, the
Citizens league won the fight by a ma
jority Of from 10000 to 5000. The ring
is delaying the count, but the league has
armed volunteers guarding the polls and
ballot boxes and no tricks will avail.
There never was such excitement in the
city on an election day and thousands
are on the streets tonight, ready to answer
any call. A remarkable part Of to-
days election was the loyalty of the
negro to the cause of reform, despite the
efforts of old-time republican leaders to
throw their votes to the ring. The me-
groes we're proof against bribery and
threats and gave the league heavy
vote. Governor Fosters failure to inter
fere for an honest election in the city
until the last moment hurt his vote in
the city, and the majorities in the county
have been reduced, but Foster will prob
ably carry the state by from 900 to 49,
900. The governors home parish gave
Phrar, the combine" candidate, $500
majority, owing to sugar planters, who
have joined the republican ranks.

Annual Meeting Of the Montana
StockgroWers' Association at
Miles City.

MILES CRY, Mont, April 2l.--On Sun
day and Monday each arriving train
brought many visitors from all parts of
the United States and Canada to attend
the annual meeting of the Montana
Stockgrowers' association. Hotels, and
even private residences, are taxed to &C.
commodate the visitors, and switches in
the railroad yards are occupied by spec
ial cars from lines leading to the great
cattle market. At 1O:40 the association
was called to order by the second vice
president, Hon. j. w. Strevell, who an-
nounced to the convention that Presi-
dent Joe Scott was confined to his
rooms under the care of ply
sician, and that the first vice.
president, Con Kohrs, was feeling too in
disposed to preside at the meeting. On
behalf Of the citizens of Miles City,
Judge Strevell welcomed the guests.
The report of the secretary and treas
urer showed that the association has a
membership of pol, and 81 names were
added during the day. The sale of
strays for the year amounted to Sl02 O02,
5l729l7 of which found it's way into the
hands of iightful owners, while the total
balance in the stray fund remaining un-
claimed is S232l9.
The routine work of appointing COM
mittees and receiving reports consumed
the greater part Of the day, though sew
eral hours were given up to listenin, to
speeches from railroad men, commission
and stock-yard men. Some little en-
couragement was given by the commits
mission men that prices would remain as
good as last year, but the railroad men
could hold out no hope for the reduction
of s5 car asked by the western cattle
men. Tonight the citizens rendered the
visitors concert by the Twenty Second
Infantry band a banquet and ball.
Over 300 invitations were extended to
strangers in the city.

high water in the Menominee, the farm

are expected to meet in day or two, to
ascertain what additional work is neces

wise plan to secure funds with which
to complete the building. At least
$4,000 more will be required.
Heretofore it has been the policy OF
the board to not elect teachers for the
next school year until nearly the end OF
the spring term. The present board
seems to believe that teacher, if not
reelected to position in the Great
Falls schools, should be apprised of the
fact in time to look elsewhere, and the
teachers for the next year will probably
be elected early; hence, the teachers
committee will probably begin very soon
to consider applications.
