SEEKS A DISCHARGE.
Nelson Does Not Want TO Remain
Longer Under Arrest.
His Counsel File Petition In Court for
His Reieas:.

John Nelson erstwtile member OF the
General Assembly of this state. who was
indicted about two years ago, and tried
on q charge OF receiving stolen property,
knowing 1t to be stolen, has, through his
attorneys, General Charles A. Wilson and
J. jerome Hahn, asked to be released
from arrest. One member OF the Jury
that tried Nelson when he was first put
en- trial under the Indictment against him
took sick and the jury was discharged
Another jury was ordered empanelled bv
Jud &c Wilbur and Nelson was found
guilty. His counsel took an appeal and
before vacation last summer, the Appel
late Court decided that the case must bs
sent back to the common pleas division
that the Attorney General might show
further cause why the case against Mel
son should pot lie dismissed, II ne saw hit
10 so do. 1t was the general opinion OF
the mem bers of the bar that the Attorney
General could not successfully prosecute
Nelson as the Appellate Court seemed to
intimate that tie error of dismissing the
first jury on account Of the information
by telephone that mem her of IL was sick
was one that could not be overcome.
There has been nothing done by the
Attorney General, and now the counsel
for Nelson force the fighting in the hope
thst the case against him may be finally
dismissed. The case is down for hearing
on Saturday next.

dict In Favor OF Annie Miller,
The appellate court has refused defeH-
dant's pstition for a new trial In the case
OF Annie c. Miller vs.. Westminster Bank.
The court holds that while there are
passages In the plaintiffs testimony
W hich taken by themselves are br Dad
enough to warrant an inferencs of
authority on the part OF Eli Aylesworth,
former president of the bank, to with
draw the deposit made by tbs plaintiff.
the majority OF the court is Of the
opinion that from the evidence taken as
q whole such authority does not appear
with sufficient clearness to justify the
setting aside OF the verdict.
The plaintiff claimed she had deposited
500 in tho Westminster bank during the
administration OF President Aylesworth
and jury sustained ner claim and
gave her interest. making the total award
OF s7G6.E0.

Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-12-11

WA,HtNGToN, Dec, S.--'Ihu action Of
the silver republican senators in re-
training from attendance upon the re-
publican caucus today has led to no lit
tie talk ss to whether the policy pursued
today is forerunner Of tbs future or
whether they will not in time return to
the party. Some republicans think it
possible that the recaIcitrant senators
regard today's meeting as merely pre-
liminary and Will come back into the
fold after time. The suppositioE is
apparently without foundation or justi-
tlcation. The silver senators are
very chary about discussing their
moves or intentions for the future.
They decline to talk OF the sub
Ject for publication, but from remarks
dropped, there can be no doubt they
consider that they have attended their
last republican caucus. They say with
out exception, however, that in taking
the position they have, they do not
mean to place themselves in the attitude
OF opponents Of protective tariff policy,
but rather that they desire to be in an
independent position, where they can
accept or reject any tarilf proposition
presented by their former party asso-
ciates,

Eepnblican Caucus.

WASHINGroS, Dec, S-The most no
tceablc feature of the republican eenate
caucus, which assembled today, as seen
from the outside, was the Abscacs Of the
men who had bolted the nomination OF
Mckinley at st. Louis becauee of the
i gold standard platform. Those who
were absent on this account were Du-
Il bois, Pettigrew, Mantle, Cannon, Squire,
and Teller. All of these except Teller
u were in the city and could have attended
&n they had been go disposed. Indeed,
a some of them were in their committee
Erooms in the capitol while the caucus
\ was in progress. That their absence
Was intentional was clearly shown by a
letter which Senator Dubois sent to the
caucus, resigning as secretary Of the
caucus aud member OF the caucus com
mittec.
Taking Its acceptance rs matter of
fact, Ledge moved the election of Wilson
in his stead, as secretary, while Senator
Shoup was placed on the stecri 1g com
mittee, 10 the place vacated By his col
league. The committee was also en-
larged by the addition of the name of
Hansbrough Of North Dakota.
The Dngley tariff bill was referred to

tons to investigate Us to the likelihood

An ABSURD Description Of The Alleged
Einding of the Dead Chiefs
Body.


HAVANA, Dec. st is stated in the
most positive terms by the Spanish au-
thorltles that Antonio Maceo, the great
insurgent leader and the heart and soul
OF the Cuban cause, has been killed in
Havana province after ho had effected q
passage OF the western trocha near
Mariel, at its northern extremity.
With the Cuban leadol died the
youth, Francisco Gomez, son of
Maxine Gomez, who &C companied the
mulatto gonoral Oh his passage Of the
troCha. The most explicit details of the
iinding OF the corpses of the fallen
CubanH, and OF tho facts relied upon for
their Identification are at hand. through
Ia report Of the Spanish commander,
Maj. Cru jedas, who contested the pas.
aago Of the trocha uusuccosefully on
Dec. 4, last Friday, with Maceo, and
who sustained another conflict yesterday
with the forces undor the insurgent
leader. 1t was in q reconnaissance after
the latter engagement that tbs Span
iards found the two c07pstB, not sep.
arated in death, which they have identi-
lied as those of Antonio Macao and
Francisco Gomez.
The authorities now permit the publ
cation OF Major Cirujedas' official report
of that engagement with Maceo on Dec.
t. When he forced the trocha there was
q fearful combat, which is the first off
cial admission that Maceo brought with
him across the trocha a considerably
equipped following aud fought hot en-
gagement to effect his passage. After
the Cubans had passed into Hayana
province the Spanish commander effect
ed fresh concentration in that province
and awaited the arrival Of Maceo. He
had received confidential information of
the proposed movements Of the Cubane,
and arranged his forces accordingly. He
had in addition received detailed de-
scription of the horse which Maceo was
to ride, as we'll as Of its caparisons. The
expected battle occurred yesterday, but
no details OF the engagement are given
out for publication here. After the fight
the. Spanish troops made a reconnois-
sarcc Of the ground previously held by
the Cuban forces. Here were found
two corpaes lying together and, in
deed, almost locked in an embrace
of death. One body was that of
mulatto, stout man, with gray, crispy.
curly hair and the other that of
slender, dark haired youth. Both men
were dressed in white linen duck suits.
When the suit was removed from the
corpse OF the elder Of the two it was
found to have under il fine undershirt
with the initials a.. NJ upon it. A
piece Of blue silk sash on this body con-
tanned the aame initials worked in red
ink" There was Il gold ring on the fin
ger containing on the inside the ingravcn
inscription, "Antonio y Maria" a re-
yolver with an ivory handle and marked,
together with a email gold. mounted tel
escole, were found Oh the body. The
head Of the younger mans body was
resting upon the body OF the first, There
were found on it d silver watch, an am
munition bag ard several hsndker-
chiefa bearing the initials "F. q"
II is stated that thtrs was found on
the body If the younger man d letter
written in peuclI, say ng that he dies
rather than abandon the corpse of his
general, Mgcao.

HAyANA, Dec. Sit is nos s..ra, off.
cially admitted that Antonio Meuc, the
insurgent loader, passed the military lue
uf i'iuar del Rio, on Friday last, near
Marlel, Il port at its northern extremity
He was accompanied by II son of Maxi.
mo Gomez.
There was much excitement here when
il became generally known that Maceo
had crossed the military line with, il is
understood, strong force OF insurgents,
especially when the news was coupled
with the report of fighting between the
Spanish troops aud insurgents close to
this city. 1t seems evident that the in
surgent commander has not only clever
) TUNED the flank Of Captain General
WeyIer but has succeeded in getting in
bis rear and crossing the famous military
liue uGar the port which has been used
as base Of supplies for the Spanish
troops in l'lnar del Rio. The importance
Of this movement cannot be exaggerated.
