saulted before being killed.
Bran then told of the position in
which Mrs. Nash lay. how her clothing
had been disarranged. and certain other
indications from which he drew the
conclusion that Mrs. Nash had been
assaulted.
AT the afternoon session, Mr.. Barnes
one of the Stenographers at the former
trial, testified as to the testimony Civ
en- by Charles Brown. reading from his
notes. Browns testimony was to the
effect that when he saw Bran strike

their behalf. The commissioners found
that the stream WAS not frequented ny

vented them from running up into IT,.
The commissioners found that the stat
ue' gave them no authority in the mat
ter. and 50 reported to the petitioners.
TWO years ago the government put in Il
lOt of sea salmon into Pleasant river OPP
posite Brownville. and those interested
in the fishing question here thought that
if they could get fishWay in the dam

into the chain of ponds. But ii was found
that there was another dam, between

three tickets in the field. democratic.
straight republican and fusion. with the
chief interest of the campaign center
ing in the personal contest between
Cannon and King for the United states
senatorship. Both OF these leaders are
native sons. both are members in good
standing OF the Mormon church. Judge
King enjoys the advantage Of represent

fve-eighths Of the voters OF the state,

prestige by creating a dramatic scene

contest between these two young lead

odds on King.
one cause OF the anti-fusion sent;-

the course OF ecclesiastic influence in
the past. The three members OF the
Mormon church presidency, MILFORD
Woodruff. George Q. Cannon and Jo-

with a desire to prevent another big
democratic victory in Utah. In last
years local campaigns a nonpartlsan
movement was in~sugurated and urged
throughout the state. backed in every
instance by the church leaders. The
effect was a certain decentralization and

these letters are so complete and so
compact that a summary of them need
not be attempted. They tell an inter
esting story. In instances they inspire
hope; in instances they awaken the
anxiety of all true friends of silver.
They show how. in some cases, men who
profess to be for silver are ready and
willing for the promotion OF their own
political ambition to make savage their
assault on free coinage and put the
cause in peril. The lesson for Montana
the moral which these letters carry,
is that while, on the whole, the situa-
tion is encouraging, and while the
proofs abound hat the great body OF
silver's friends are pulling true. it be-
comes the duty of this state TO frown
down every man who aims to weaken
silver's hold here and to work loyalty
