Gus and withal brilliant flow of oratory as
has not been heard since-well. last week
at Santa Monica.
c. C. Wright took the floor and said: Il
am more than glad to see this pacific spirit
and to know that there is no difference of
opinion In this committee. We must have
a good secretary. SO large community as
this county has large interests, and this
committee looks far more like an ordin-
ary good-sized county convention than a
committee. 1t must have a secretary who
is thoroughly competent and viii satisfy

Mr. Neuhart's name was received with a
volley of applause.
The unouenchable Earl Rogers made his
way to the front from the dim recess where.
contrary to his usual custom, he had been
sitting.
"I have heard Scripture quoted at the
Orpheum." said Mr.. Rogers. Hold fast
to n good thing when You have it I do
not know whether the form Is correct or
not-the sentiment is all right. We have
had a most efficient secretary for the last
three years. There is no man in this coun-
ty who is better acquainted with political
facts than he. He has gotten out book
after book of political statistics At the
recent convention attempts We're made TO
get the great German-American contln-
gent represented on the ticket, but, unfor-
tunately, as I think. those candidates were
all turned down. Now is your chance to
make amends"
Here Mr.. Neuhart manifested consider
able uneasiness. Dan used to claim, 1t is
said. share in the blood of Hohenzollern
along with der Kaiser Wilhelm" but he

Spain. AT any rate. his Dutch rose. and

Maginley, who had made himself conspic-
uous by interrupting several of the pre-
vious speakers, then followed In the same
strain.
A motion to use the secret ballot met
with chilly welcome. But just before the
rol-call Mr.. Rogers, who had evidently
been taking some meteorological observa-
tions, withdrew Mr.. Herzog's name and
seconded the nomination of Mr.. O'Neill.
The ballot had proceeded only a little
way when Mr.. Wilson rose and said that
Mr.. O'Neill had entered the contest purely
for the sake of harmony and would not
take the nomination. unless 1t was given
to him by accamation. He therefore
withdrew Mr. O'Neill's name and moved
that Mr.. Neuhart be declared elected by
acclamation. Mr.. Herzog seconded the
motion In a manly little speech and it was
carried with enthusiasm.

H. FLoRY IN TROUBLE
Alleged to Have Dealt Extensively in
Chattel Mortgages

| After trying for some days to bring or
der out of chaos in the business affairs OF
Howard Flory, Deputy Constable Brake
suhler gave 1t up as bad job and caused
the arrest of Flory yesterday on warrant
charging him with obtaining money under
felse pretenses.
Flory Is a preacher by profession and
the proprietor of a hay, wood and coal
business at the corner of Seventh and San
Pedro streets, at least he conducted bus
mess at that place previous to hts dtsap-
pearance several days ago. As near as
can be learned. he placed three chattel
mortgages on the various goods and i'm
plements of the establishment Flory
agreed to pay from to 10 per cent inter
est a month on these mortgages 1t Is
said that there was wagon on which
there was prior claim, but this little af-
fair did not figure with Flory. for he
slapped the mortgage on the vehicle, IT
is alleged. as though it had been unin-
numbered IN his family for years.
Bard Bros had about twenty tons Of hay
stored in his barn. and he placed a chattel
mortgage on this stock, after having given
S. o. Adams a bill of sale for it, Alex
Quinn claims that he had five tons of hay
stored with Flory, but this has been sold.
A. H. Hedderiy also has cause to complain
of Flory. who is said to have obtained
goods from him by false pretenses. 1t
is further alleged that Flory placed g
mortgage on a span of horses which die
not belong to him but which had been lef,
with him to use in lieu of their keep dur.
ing the present scarcity of hay.
The complaint against Flory was sworn
to before a Justice at Compton and 1t is
thought others may follow in the loca
courts. Flory disappeared for a few day.
recently and yesterday was the first time
the officers could get hold of him. He
claims he will be able to settle his affairs
IN a satisfactory manner.

A VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL
The Jury Fails to Find A. e
Phippen Guilty.
THE SPOTTED CALF CASE
Dismissed by the County Attorney-Not
Evidence Enough-The Case OF Ed
ward Cline, Charged With
Stealing Sheep, Begun.

Great Falls March 12.-The defendant
in another criminal case has been
acquitted. This morning the case of
the state against A. L. Phippen, was
argued and submitted to the jury. The
latter took three-quarters of an hour
to consider the evidence and then
brought in a verdict for acquittal. This
was the case worked up by David Uli-
man, detective for the Great Northern,
last summer, and which resulted in the
conviction of one man, or rather in his
pleading guilty and paying of a fine
Phippen, who was charged with receiv-
ing stolen property, fought and, as
shown to-day, won the fight. His attor-
neys were Stanton & Stanton.
The regular venire of jurymen show
ing signs of exhaustion, special venire
was issued which resulted in the fol-
lowing additions to the regular panel:
j. NJ. Powers. w. G. Beachley, Charles
D. Ladd, Dan Ledgerwood, H. H. Stan
ley and A. Sires.
The case of the state versus Thomas
Splan, accused of stealing the famous
spotted calf, was dismissed by the coun-
ty attorney, who believes that there is
not sufficient evidence to convict him.
During the absence of the Phippen
jury from the court room, the case OF
the state against Edward Cline was
put OH trial anu the following jury en-
panneled to try the case: Robert
Vaughn, Fl. Fl. Stanley, James Mat
thews, l.. NJ. Gibson, William Tyler, c.
=. Bueley. George Briggeman, Dan
IedgerWood, A. Sires, Charles ID. Ladd,
William Brown and w. P. Beachley
Cline is accused of the theft of two
sheep Of the value of Sc and the prop
erty of J. j. ODER of Kibbey The facts
and the evidence were pretty well
brought out in the preliminary hearing
at Monarch last month, full account
of which appeared in these columns at
the time. The state will endeavor to
prove that Edward and his brother
went to a shed where a large band of
sheep was herded for the night and
took seven sheep, placed them in their
wagon, which stood just outside the
field containing the sheep shed, and,
carrying them home, there butchered
them that the two carcasses of sheep
which the officers and witnesses found
at their place in the snow were the
bodies of two of the sheep which they
mad stolen. The state will introduce
considerable circumstantial evidence.
such as the statement of witnesses that
the tracks leading from the sheep shed
were made by a wobbly-wheeled wagon
such as the Cline boys own and use
and that the tracks led directly to the
place where the two sheep carcasses
We're found. The defense will probably
be along the line of showing that the
boys had bought and butchered two
sheep just short time before they
were arrested and the two carcasses
were those Of the sheep bought. stan
ton & Stanton are the attorneys for
the defense. The case was on trial when
court adjourned this evening, and will
probably not end until Tuesday morn-
ing.

BOLD BAD BOYS.
Lodged in the Town Jail for Stealing
Two Horses.

Lodged in the Town Jail for Stealing
Two Horses.
Great Falls. March 12.-There are two
boys over in Lewistown who, If reports
are true. have evidently been reading
blood and thunder novels and desire to
initiate some of the bandits bold of
whom they have read. They are
Charles Clark, IL years old, and Cleve
Nicholson. aged L. The other day, two
cowboys from the country left their
saddle horses tied to a rack on one of
the streets of Lewistown while they
were transacting some business. In
their absence these enterprising young
sters stole the horses and rode TO Gilt
Edge. There they stole a sack of oats
with which TO feed the horses. When
the owner of the oats discovered them
in the act he gave chase, but they
proved themselves better runners than
ne and got away into the hills about
town
Then a mounted constable was press
ed into service but the boys gave him
the slip by crawling under a barbed
Wire fence and thus dstancing him.
He finally dismounted and wore them
out and captured the youthful high
waymen. The Clark boy solemnly as
sured him, however, that he would
never have captured them alive had
they been possessed of a gun. He
brought them to Lewistown, where they
were placed in the strong cage. They
will now have to answer to two charges
one of petit and the other of grand
larceny. They were given a prelimi-
nary hearing and bound over to the
district court, where they are likely to
get terms in the reform school.
