New Chapter In the Montana Sena-
tOriaI Bribery Case.

HELENA, Mont, Aug 12-John B.
Welcome the Butte lawyer, against
whom disbarment proceedings were COM
menced two months ago in connection
with senatorial bribery charges, has filed
an answer in the supreme court in which
he denies the allegations made by Fred
Whiteside.
Whiteside, in his petition, alleges that
Welcome, as manager of w. A Clark s
campaign for the senate, offered money to
six members of the legislature the
amounts specified ranging from S., 600, in
the case of himself and Representative
Carr. Of Flathead county, to 1000, in the
case of State Senator Hobson, Of Fergus
county.
He claims that Senator Clark was elect
ed by the use of money, and for the part
Welcome was alleged to have taken in
the election the petitioner asked that he
be disbarred. Lawyer Welcome denies
every charge.
The issue is now squarely before the SUI
preme court, which will probably hear
testimony in October. Attorney General
Nolan, who will represent the court, and
who was allied with the Daily forces OPP
posed to Mr.. Clark in the last legislature,
Will conduct the case for Whiteside
There is no concealment of the fact that
the proceedings against Welcome are &C
tually aimed against Senator Clark, with
view to ousting him from the United
States senate. Whiteside, who was a
candidate for senator in. F'lathead county.
was thrown out of the senate by the
clark Democrats and the Republicans, on
the ground that he had not been elected
Many witnesses will be examined by the
supreme court, and the thirty 1000 bills
produced by Whiteside as Clark money
upon the first ballot of the legislature will
be introduced as evidence.

The moment the officials of the Western
Union Telegraph company, who have
organized a corporation to furnish mes
senger service in Minneapolis, attempt to
do business they will be confronted with
law suit, unless they employ some other
designation than the american District
Telegraph company"
The present American District Tele-
graph company, which is under the man
agement of A. T Williams, does not pro-
pose to allow another firm to compete
with it under the same name.
1.-The American District Telegraph COM
pany," said General Manager Williams
yesterday, was incorporated in 1882 and
has done business here ever since We
have built up a name here, and We don't
propose to let another concern use it just
as though it was common property. We
don't object-and if we did it wouldn't
make any difference-to the organization
of other messenger service companies, but
we do think we have earned the right
to the name under which we We're in
COrpOrated. - .-. --s.
1T has been remarked continued Mr.
Williams. that the name A. D. T. IS
common property because it is employed
lu all the large cities. Very true. We
don't object to any organization in ST.
Paul calling itself the American District
Telegraph company, of st. Paul They
can organize a messenger service in Wi
ncna or Duluth or St Cloud or any
other town and call 1t what they please
but when it comes to taking our name for
use in Minneapols-well We will see about
IT,"
J. p. Cassidy the local manager of the
Western Union, and one OF the incorpor-
atOrs of the new messenger service COM
pany. was asked what maize the company
proposed to do business under.
Mr. Cassidy was not positive as to the
exact name, but as near as he could re-
call it, the corporate name of the COM
pany was THE American District Tele-
graph company, of Minneapolis"
But that is the identical name of one
of the companies now doing business in
Minneapolis"
Mr. Cassidy seemed to doubt this,
though the information did not apparent
ly worry him.
81 am not conversaht," he said, with
the exact language of our articles of in
corporation, but presume that those who
had charge Of that work knew what they
were doing. I should hardly think that
they would use a name that belonged to
anybody else. However, as said before
I am unfamiliar with the details of these
preliminary arrangements"

head are facts for the coroner's jury to
consider, which may develop murder, al
though the dead man was not known to
