THE CASE OF SENATOR CLARK
Comment at the Capitol on the
E0rthcOmin.. Kenort

The forthcoming report of the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections of the Sen
ate in the Montana contest continued to
be a source of general comment in the
Senate wing of the Capitol yesterday.
There was much speculation as to the
course of coming events, but there were
no positive developments. Men who are
informed in the matter Of Montana poll
tics prophesied that the anti-Daly De-
mocracy will triumph at the legislative
election this autumn, which would mean
that the next session of the Legislature.
which Will convene at Helena on January
l. 1901, and which is to elect a successor
to Senator Carter, will choose Senator
Clark.
1t is thought that vast sums Of money
may be spent to defeat the will of the ma
jority of the people of the State. but il is
also said that against this the friends Of
Senator Clark will be ON guard They will
seek to have the statute of Montana which
provides that the campaign expenditures
of candidate for the United States Sen
ate shall not exceed 81 900 rigidly en-
forced. There is also a statute which re-
quires that the candidate. or the commit
tee representing him. shall file with the
Secretary of State "A duly attested ac-
count of campaign expenditures. This is
a law which is more honored in the breach
than in the observance. II has. il is ad-
mitted. been dead letter for years
Obeying political presidents and customs
in the Mountain State. Senator Clark
friends did not file "A statement as re-
quired under the law. The statute was
uncovered by the DAILY attorneys. and this
technical error on the part of the friends
of Senator Clark was used against him
before the Senate committee with great
effect, even though the campaign account
was submitted to that committee.
The suggestion that the Governor of
Montana may appoint Marcus DAILY to the
seat to which the Legislature elected Mr..
Clark was not received with favor at the
Capitol. Several Senators said that under
the circumstances they could not conceive
how Mr.. Daily could accept the appoint
ment. The proposition that former Gov
ernor Toole or Representative Campbell
might be appointed was considered equal
ly indicate, Mr.. Toole having been one
of the principal promoters and Mr.. Camp
bell the leading counsel in the prosecu-
ton, which it is announced the Elections
Committee will severely condemn.
Senator Clark was al the Capitol yes
terday and many members OF the Senate
spoke with him about his future course
concerning which Senator Clark said he
had as yet come TO no definite conclusion.
Many ss.nators expressed some surprise
at the findings OF the committee.

OBITUARY..

Mrs. L. E. Forney, of Cherokee, Ok,
and formerly of Sharon valley,
Kansas, the only surviving daughter Of
the Rev. Geo. Robinson. died on Dec.
13, 1900, at 7:3O p. m, after a sickness
of only thirteen days. Malarial fever
in very violent form was the cause of
of her death. She leaves a husband,
who is well known in Barber county,
and three children-the youngest, a ba-
by only fourteen days old-.o mourn
her departure.
The funeral was preached at the
family residence near Cherokee on Fri
day, the 14th, to large concourse of
people who assembled to pay last
mark of respect and attest the esteem
in which Mrs. Forney was held by her
neighbors and the citizens of the entire
community in which she lived.
The remains were inferred in Shar
on cemetery. The services at the grave
were conducted by DR.. w. Fl. Boles.

RUNAWAY.

A very exciting runaway took place
on the streets yesterday evening when
the people were returning from the
football grounds. Mrs. W. C. Millar
and Mrs. Seward I Field were driving
Mr.. Millar's fast horse, very high
strung and there was considerable fast
driving. The ladies' horse got to 60
ing so fast that he became unmanage-
able and when they reached Main
street it was evident that the horse
was running away, and when they
reached the south livery barn they col
lided with a number of vehicles, the
ladies were thrown out and the horse
broke away from the buggy. At first
it was thought that Mrs. Millar and
Mrs. Field were both seriously hurt
but after physicians were, summoned
everybody was glad to learn that there
were no permanent injuries. Mrs.
Field has several bad cuts and bruises
in the face and on the head. Mrs. Mil
lar was bruied badly, principally on the
head, the latter being the effect
of a buggy wheel having run over her.
The buggy was not damaged in the
least. The harness broke and the
horse was fortunately released.
This was a fortunate escape. All
who saw the runaway had no other
thought but that the women would be
either killed OF badly crippled. Fast
driving, especially where there Is more
than one rig, is dangerous.
