A Decision Tomorrow Morning.

The case against Waldro G. Brad
ley, arrested by Deputy Sheriff Ten
Eye on q warrant from Justice Bird :
gers, was called this morning at III
O'Clock in the latter's court.
The warrant issued from the above
court was occasioned by the arrival 10
this city of an Indictment from Bole-
cort county. Virginia, from the grand
jury, charging Waldro G Bradley with
the seduction of young woman by the
name of Woods, living at Baldwin Sta
ton, Va.
The legal proposition advanced by
Judge Hunter, who is the defendants
attorney, was the insufficiency of the
Virginia indictment to be considered
evidence of Bradley's guilt. The copy
of the Indictment showed no signature
of the foreman of the grand jury, nor
did it have the judges certificate
showing that the copy was genuine.
Justice Bridgers heard the argument
and set tomorrow morning at 1OO'clock
for rendering q decision.
Bradley is charged with seducing the
girl on promise of marriage, but this
he vigorously denies and says it is q
clear case of blackmail. He was 10 the
employ of Pierce Bros. in this city as
bookkeeper when arrested, and had
formerly been travelling in Mexico fol-
the Liberty Supply company.

Fusion in MICHIGAN.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. June 21.-
Representative democrats from all
parts of the state, together with fusion
populists and silver republicans, are
gathering here today for their res
pective state conventions, which will
be held tomorrow. The purpose of
calling the three conventions for the
same time and place was to bring
about q com bination similar to that of
two years ago, but whether this plan
will succeed remains to be seen. A
certain element among the democrats
is disposed to kick out of the fusion
traces, and unless the populists and
the smattering of silver republicans
are willing to accept the crumbs from
the democratic table it is highly pro-
bable that the democrats will decide to
go it alone in the campaign this fall.
The democrats will insist upon naming
the head of the ticket and also upon
constructing the platform to suit
themselves with assistance or sug-
gestions from the allies. The plat
form is the subject most discussed
among the delegates already on the
ground. Some believe that the in.
dorsement of the Chicago platform and
free silver shall be made SO mild tina
the sound money democrats shall be
unable to take offense at it while
others are of the opinion that the re-
solutions should contain an unequivo
cal Endorsement. of Bryan and the
white metal. Still others, and among
the number many prominent leaders Of
the democratic party, favor eliminat
ing the financial issue entirely and
combining the platform to state is

l. ROBERT SILBERBERG, do solemn
ly swear that l am a member of the
firm of Silberberg Bros. doing a
Jewellery Business in the City of Ell
Paso; that Silberberg Bro, have made
arrangements to leave the City of Ell
Paso for the City of Mexico; that in
order to make said move at as early q
date as possible we must reduce our
stock as quickly as possible; that on
Wednesday, June p, 1898. we will
begin to sell at public auction to the
watches, diamonds and other jewelry
will be disposed of at said auction re-
gardless of original cost.
Affiant further says that his object
in making this affidavit is that hereto
fore the people of Ell Psso have been
deceived by parties advertising auc-
tion sales for the purpose of quitting
business, when such auction sales have
been only for the purpose of disposine
OF foreign stocks purchased and old
stock on hand: that affiant desires the
public to know and be assured of the
fact that this is an auction sale for the
bona-tide purpose of reducing our
stock quickly, as we are anxious to
move our business to our new location
in Mexico City as early as practicable.
