MANTLE is NOT DEPOSED.
Senator Mantle Is the Chairman of the
Silver Republican Committee.

The controversy over the chairman
ship of the silver republican state com
mittee was decided In Helena Tuesday
in favor of Senator Lee Mantle. Judges
Smith and Mcintyre, after hearing the
proceedings, ordered that theinjunction
restraining tine secretary of state from
placing the names Of A J. Campbell
and w. T. Pigott upon the official ballot
at the head Of the silver republican

state committee and that Senator Lee
Mantle is the permanent chairman.
Thus end the proceedings, and the
name of Thomas S. Hogan will be at the
head Of the silver republican ticket.

and the weary find rest. The bright

much of her good work has been left un-
finished. Every assistance that medical
skill and human hands could render
was provided, AMI nothing was left un-
done to prolong her life-but to no
avail. The time for her stay in this
world had expired, and her spi it was
waited above to meet everlasting Joy in
heaven.
Mrs. Gillis resided IN this city with
her husband for d number of years, and
her friends are legion. Early last spring

were anxious to know the terms of the

Schley said that shells could be drop

Shafter thought it necessary.
Aside from the work of the fleet sew

suspension of w. j. Spiers for Alleged
Crooked Work Surprises Detroit.


Detroit, Feb. 14.-The suspension of
w. j. Spiers. the well-known turfman.
Tor alleged crooked work with his run
ming horse Santello at the Ingleside
track in California, is the second shock
which this enterprising sport has given
Detroit society. Mr. Spiers came to
Detroit from st. Louis few years ago,
highly recommended as a preacher. He
assumed the pastorate of the ST. Jo-
seph's Memorial church, and became
the spiritual leader Of families Of
wealth and position.
He was 30 years old, with an attrac-
tive face and suave manner, and i'm
mediately became popular. He drove
fast horses, was a baseball enthusiast
and thoroughly enjoyed worldly pleas
ures. He remained here one year, then
resigned, and went to New York. In a
short time came the announcement that
Mrs Katherine Mabley. widow of G. r.
Mabley, the wealthy Detroit clothing
merchant, had become the wife of the
ex-minister, the marriage occurring in
New York, March 6. 1886. Mr.. Spiers
retired from the ministry and shortly
after was divorced. Then Spiers drifted
to the turf. and is now owner of a
string of race horses, among them San
tello, Major Domo and O'Connell.
