Stiff, speaker Of the Montana house Of
Representative, was the first witness Of
the day IN the Clark case befsrs the
senate committee On privileges and
elections. Representative csmp6sfl Of
Montana questioned Mr.. Stiff, and his
questions were directed toward show
ing that the embarrassed financial ooa-
dition of State Representative Nc
Laughlin haA been taken advantage Of
by Senator Clark to approach him to
secure his vote, and also that Mr.. Stff's
own vote had been improperly solicited.
Mr.. Stiff stated that he knew that Mr..
Mclaughlin was in distressed financial
circumstances prior to the meeting Of
the legislature. He also stated that he
had himself been approached by Mr..
w. NJ. Bickford, as q representative Of
Mr.. Clark and his support solicited for
the latter.
The questions bringing out this in
formation were all objected to by the
defense, who insisted that Mr.. Clark
must be directly connected with all
transactions with which it was sought
to connect his name. The reply was
that his connection would be shown
over Mr.. Clark's signature.

tor from Flathead county, testified that

ment at his room at hotel in Helena,

tage came from Mr.. Neill. Afterwards

some time in the unmeasured past an
underground swamp underlaid the
whole country in that vicinity which,
coming to the surface not far distant,
was tamarack swamp, and a root or
limb becoming detached was carried
by the water or quicksand in the slow

 a Suit in Yuma.

The Owners of the Above Mine Win
 a Suit in Yuma.
 Within an hour after the case of S. Morgan Smith versus the King of Ari- zona Mining and Milling company went to the jury last Tuesday evening verdict for the deisendant was re turned. The case occupied the atten- ton of the cOurtsjust seven days anu was one of the hardest fought legal battles that ever took place in the district court of Yuma county.
 The suit was brought hy s. Morgan Smith to enforce the fulfillment of contract entered into abOnt a year ago wherein the plaintiff agreed to con Struct and equip a complete reduction plant at the King mine with a capac- ity of 100 tons per day, Reconsideration for twO-fifths of the capital stock of the company. The company refused to issue the stock to Mir. Smith on the grounds that the mill was not of the capacity contracted for and that tine water supply was inadequate. Mir. Smith failed to produce sufficient evi- dence to show that he had complied with the contract in any particular, hence the prompt verdict for the de fendant.
 As the suit was case in equity. the jury simply finding according to the evidence whether or not Mir. Smith had complied with the contract. the amount 70 which plaintiff was entitled was left entirely to the discretion of the court. After carefully considering the law and equity in the case as presented, taking into considerably the loss sus- tained by the company by Smiths non-fulillment of conhAct, the court gave the plaintiff a judgment of 80 800. in lieu of twO-fifths> of the capital stock as prayed for.

MRS. LoTTRIDGE's STATEMENT
She Laughed Hysterically at Her Vie tim, Telling Him He Was
 All Right

All RlHnt.
 Chicago, April 19.-Mrs. Lottridge has been held without bail for the murder of Rufus Wright She was under he influence of liquor at the time of the tragedy and has made the following statement:
 '.I cannot remember what led up to the production of the revolver. I was talking to Mir. Wright, when he asked me to show him revolver of which he had spoken previously. l refused to do so, and we talked on other mat ters for a while. I remember that finally I ent to my valise and took out my weapon, and. when he SAW it.. MT. Wright begged me to throw it away. As I remembered, he tried to take the weapon from my hand, and we scuffied. As we struggled, the weapon was discharged, and. bad as I felt from the liquor I had drank, l could not help crying out in horror when l saw he was wounded. He fell back on the sofa and gasped that he was shot. I laughed hysterically and told him he was all right He insisted he had been wounded and begged me to call a doctor.
 Il waited on Mir. Wright for two hours, possibly. before I summoned a doctor. I was so overcome that may have said things that I should not have said, but the pressure I was laboring under was the cause for my actions
 fhe story that Mir. Wright came to my room in the interest of a friend is false. He came to see me at my request. He had known me long enough to come at my least call. He was in good spirits when he entered the room. We drank together and talked of matters which concerned ourselves"

IN THE SIERRA PINERIEs.
A Description of Thomas s. Bullock
 Big Lumber Company's Plant.


 Big Lumber COmpany's Plant.
 Friends and acquaintances of ThOs, S Bullock and w. c. Potts, in Ari- Zopa. will be interested in reading the following account of a trip tO the log @ing camp in which Mir. Bullock is interested in the Sierra Nevada noun tains. The article is taken from q paper published at Jamestown. Cal ifornia:
 By invitation of the officials of the Sierra Railway and the West Side Plume and Lumber Company. a merry parry of eXcursionists. including news paper representatives from Jamestown md Sonora, embarked on board q special train at 1:30 D. m. yesterday bound for the pineries of the Sierras.
 "MeSsrS. Freshman and Potts re ceiyed the guests, and on the return to Car.ers pointed out changes, i'm proyements and everything of inter est.
 "On reaching Carters Mir. Bullock, on crutches from a sprained ankle. welcomed the party and conducted them across to where a train of the l0g..in" road was standing ready made I'D. This consisted of one of the Heis Ter locomotives attached to a hat car. the latter being fitted with board seats around the sides.
 The excursionistS just had time to glance at the big mill now nearing completion and the first logs were dumped that day. Then the train pulled out.
 The scenery along the road is grand in the extreme. and the road winds, twists and squirms it's way along, up oward the summit.
 When the pineries were reached and men could be seen ill all directions fell ing. saving. barking and sniping logs. shaking logs to the landings, the scene was an animated one.
 Twelve miles out from Carters the big camp was reached. consisting of roomy log cook houses. stables and dwellings, tents and shacks. Here Mir Crocker received the crowd and showed them to the cOOkhOuse. where Chef James Gettys provided all who wished with delicious lunch.
 Space is limited and we can only say that after a pleasant stroll all re- embarked for Carters. where a pro fuse and well-cooked supper was pro vided for the hungry travellers. Such lot of capacities were never turned loose at one time, but they were all satisfied at last, and after thanking the kindly hosts for most enjoy able day, the return home was com ponuEn1 Snnnr.n Infpfr ,I, S:30 o'clock.
 Tn conclusion we must say that none can realize the immense outlay in money, time. patience and ingenuity | these companies in inaugurating these great industries. It must he seen to be appreciated. Thousands of men will be given livelihood, and around these nuclei will grow up prosperous communities of industrious, happy people,"
