employee of the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing smelter. for no other reason thar
, hat he expressed his convictions in
Dunston's hearing. Lawrence had a
good matured jag on and was having
a lot Of fun. He had voted the demo-
cratic ticket. and did not care who
knew II. Dunston heard him saying he
was a democrat n picked a fuss with
him. Lawrence being rather drunk.
was unable to defend himself. and as a
consequence Dunston gave him a most
brutal mauling.
There a plenty Of excitement in
precinct No. 90 in the latter part of the
day. A saloon in the neighborhood,
run by aliens. had been literally SUP
piled from the Clark barrel to keep the
out-for-the-stuff heelers from getting
dry. and the place ran wide open in
fragrant violation of the law all day.
and the Clark FOUNDERS were full to the
brim by s o'clock. From that time on

tering. and when he refused to take

Dexter placed him under arrest.
IL Frank Deyptte. proprietor Of the
saloon at the northeast corner of Park
and Wyoming streets. knew what he
was talking about. there was plenty Of
Clark money circulating in the 10th
precinct. Deyotte was heard to say
last evening that any n who wanted
to could get his init in the sack" in
that precinct. There Is no doubt this
unlawful use of money had Its effect.
lack Hoy. the populist agitator. was
a conspicuous figure about h polling
places n on the streets during the
day. He made more noise than usual
and Violently thought fstic arguments
would avail him most. as he INDUCED
in numerous fights. One was a dis
graceful affair. Three brothers were
standing in front of Harmon's saloon
on Main street when Hoy came up n
attempted to infict his views on them.
Their views did not agree with his. and
when one of them said something he
did not like. Hoy deliberately struck
him in the face. Before the young man

the innocent man arrested. OF course.
Hoy was not arrested. Several indig-
nant citizens followed the officer and
his prisoner to the Jail and succeeded

Victor Nord. a young laboring man.
had a rough experience at the hands
of a Clark heller. With a party OF
friends he was in John Hubert's saloon
at the northwest corner OF Park and
wyoming streets. They were rejoice
ing over carrying their precinct. and
were paying for what they got, but
unfortunately they were not aware Of
the character of the joint they were
in, and when Nord proposed three
cheers for Regain he paid for IL.
Without any other ~provocation the bar
tender picked up n billy and struck
Nord over the head and on one hand,
the wrist of which had been recently
broken. Nord and his friends were not
out for a fight. so withdrew and entered
a complaint with the police. but. the
bartender was not arrested.
Wonder IL election a anything to
DO with TN smoke? II will be remem-
bered that for many days the air has
been ~singularly clear from smelter
smoke. IL was painful TO be out of doors.
The smoke has not been so a for a
very long time: in fact, since the cam
paign opened. IL the truth were known,
IL is doubtless a fact that orders went
forth weeks < to cease heap roasting
at the Clark shelters. but as soon as
the votes were. in la careful regard
for the walfare Of the people was no
longer necessary and heap roasting was
promptly resumed.

woke up about IL o'clock. and hearing
some one remark. The chairmen of all
the parties I'm opposition to the demo-
Gratis concede everything" remarked,

fusionists."
The Copper Hill band visited all the
precincts of the city I'm a big drag dur
ing the afternoon and rave a concert.
They were greatly appreciated. and
from the fact that the drag bore the
banners OF the democratic ticket they
were loudly applauded in every precinct.
When IL became known that all the OPP
position chairmen had conceded the

Gratis organized an impromptu fife and
drum corps and paraded the streets,
