bricks, of Butte, Mont, spent yesterday at
the Rainier-Grand. They are here on pri-
waite matters, and will remain several days.
In speaking Of the contest involving the
seat Of Senator w. A. Clark, Judge Bick-
ford said: 1.-THE case against Welcome,
whom 1t is alleged handled Clark's money,
has been very weak one, and no case at
all outside the.testimony of Whiteside, Of
FIathead county, and State Senator Clark.
The reputation of the former is well
known in Montana, and the general belief
ia that not much of a showing has been
made. The briefs in the case will be sub
mitted next Monday.
