The Omaha Bee in speaking of the
coroner's inquest on the death of
Thomas Glenn, who was killed in that
city recently by Frank Montague,
says:
The coroner's jury called to investi-
gate the killing of Thomas Glenn vir-
tually eXonerated Frank Montague for
the throwing of the knife which caus-
ed Glenn's death. Quite number of
witnesses were examined at Monday
afternoons session of the jury and
nearly all of the testimony produced
went TO show that Glenn had been the
aggressor and that Montague, in throw
ing the knife acted in self-defense.
Walter Ray testified to the trouble
which occurred Thursday evening,
when Glenn threw hot water on Nom
tague. A fight between the men Was
barely averted at that time. When
peace had been declared after a short
skirmish Thursday evening Montague
complained that Glenn was always
picking on him because he was small in
stature.
Nearly every witness examined testi-
fed that Glenn threw heavy pail at
Montague at the commencement of the
alteration, while some swore that
Glenn struck Montague twice with q
pail before the latter threw The knife.
After celebrating for an hour or
more the jury returned this verdict:
THAT Thomas Glenn came to his
death on October 10, by hcmorrhage
from knife wound the knife being
thrown by the hand of Frank Mon,
| tague. We further find that the knife
was thrown daring an assault of said
Glenn upon said Montague"
| After the rendering of the verdic,
Montague was taken back to the cour-
| ty Jail to await the filing of com.
plant by the county attorney. AS
soon as the complaint is filed the date

ment-Montana was soon rid of those
who were proper subjects for vigilante
treatment. On the other hand, the
Montana pioneers were progressive;
after the first few years the talk of
suffering on the frontier" was merely
a fiction with them. They were intel
iigent; they were for popular educa-
ton; they were prosperous to such
degree that they matched, even If they
did not surpass, the average of eastern
communities, in respect to household
comforts, modern conveniences and the
thousand little matters that relate to
social and domestic enjoyment.
Thus is will be found that In Kentucky,
for instance, inaccessible mountains, SO
far from being a cause. are the merest
incident. Rather. it is a case of heredi-
ty. The man who cares to inform him
self about early social conditions In
parts of, say, Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee, will find that they have no
counterpart in, say, Iowa, Michigan
Minnesota or Montana-and he will
also find that the feuds in question
are a sort of social sequence or
neighborhood evolution.

or two about Yankee campaigning out

Always in View.

= T has come to pass that no daily
press report is complete if it lacks
reference of one kind or another to
Alger designations. 1t used to be the
fashion, not long ago, for the daily
Alger bulletin to announce that he has
no intention of resigning. Manifestiy
the frequent bulletins relating to his
resignation had their start in newspa-
pers- several of them prominent re-
publican organs-whose theory was
that constant dropping wears the stone
and that the persistent rumor of his
resignation might force him to resign.
That play didn't work-those who de-
vised it had to give it up. The later
gossip concerns Alger's candidacy for
the senate. When account is taken CT
the fact that Senator McMillan's term
does not expire until March, 1901, it
will be seen that much of the Alger-
senatorial talk is previous" The
latest denial is to the effect that Alger
will not accept a foreign mission.
Whether one had been proposed for
him is not intimated, except that, If
some of the republican organs tell the
truth, the president would be glad of
any opportunity that would relieve the
cabinet of Alger. In fact, the purpose
appears to be to make active the talk
about the senatorial contest in Michi-
gan with view to silencing the con-
slant gossip about Alger designations
