POOLEY JURY OUT.

Will 1t be a disagreement. an acquittal
or conviction?
This is the question which the court Of
ficers and others interested in the POOL
ey murder case continued to ask each
other from 5 o'clock last evening, at
which time the jury took the matter in
hand, until 4 o'clock this afternoon when
the Inter Mountain went to press without
a sign of a verdict in sight. Sometimes,
however, verdicts are rendered without
their shadows being cast before and 1t
might be lone in this case. Up to 4
o'clock no one On the outside possessed
the least idea as to what the jury would
do or on what point it was hanging fire.
The men comprising he body have taxi
en- their meals regularly today and en-
joyed the sunshine in going to and from
them. They have not asked for further
instructions from the court n it is not
known that they desire any. but If by
morning a conclusion is not reached 1t Is
possible that Judge Clancy will call them
up an interview them.

THEIR PLATFORM.

When the convention was again called
to order Chairman Philips inquired if
the committee on platform and resolu-
tons was ready to report.

ing the platform and unrolling his manu-
script. During the course of the read

by applause, an inexplicable circum-
Stance being hat Judge Clancy called
forth louder applause than any other
person mentioned, not even excepting
William Jennings Bryan.

Ihe populist county convention, called
Tor the purpose of nominating candidates
Tor the various offices granted that party
IN accordance with the mystic rites of
the Ancient Order Of Fusionists, opened
at the Auditorium today shortly before l
o'clock.
What's Charley Clark here for?''
whispered a delegate just as Chairman
Abe Philips brought the broken leg of a
chair down on the speakers table. Has
he turned populist?"
Later developments showed that Mr..
Clark had not turned popuiist any more
thar had the leopard changed his spots,
or the Eth opian his cuticle. He was
simply doing politics." that was all.
M Chairman" interrupted Jack
Byrne, as Philips was about to call on
the secretary for the order of business,
II understand that there is a committee
present from the democrats to make a
report to us. Gar we hear them now?''
Could they? They could. Also, they
did. Clark had been seen button-holing
Tom Kinds before the convention was
called to order, and Immediately there
after Kinds accidentally walked into
Byrne, and both took a bee line for a
committee room. Perhaps this just hap
pened that way, too. But these things
had been noticed, and when the word
democrat" was mentioned by Byrne
every delegate was g ITO hear what
was up.
On the matter being put to a vote, the
desire to hear what a democratic COM
mlttee had Ito report to a populist con-
vention proved unanimous.
Then Charles w. Clark arose, and in
his most carefully modulated tones and
diplomatic fashion begged leave' to in
form the convention that he was one of
a committee of three appointed by the
democrats to notify their populist breth-
rem, thear labor brethren and their "eight-
: hour republican brethren of the action
aiken by the democratic convention this

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
The Boers Seem to Have Taken a
 New Start.

London, Dec. 14-Lord Kitchener re- ports as follows:
 Pretoria, Dec. 1S.
 "Clements force at Nooitgedacht on Magaliesburg, was attacked at dawn today by Delarey, reenforced by By CTS command from Warmbath, mak- ing a force estimated at 2,5O0. Though the first attack was repulsed, the Boers managed to get on top of Mag aliesburg, which was held by four com panies of the Northumberland Fusil iers, and were thus able to command Clements camp. He retired on Helix po3rt and took up a position on a hill in the center of the valley. CasuaH- ties have not been completely report ed, but the fighting was very severe and I deeply regret that Col. Legge of the Twentieth Hussars, and Captains Mclean, Murdoch and Atkinson were killed.''

another jury could be secured in the county to try the case. Miss Morrison, who is a frail little woman twenty nine years of age, has undergone a terrible strain, not only during her five months Imprisonment, but during the tedious three weeks hearing of the case. She showed little anxiety or nervousness when she appeared in the court room today, and after the jury had been discharged, walked quietly with her relatives to her cell. She threw her self upon her cot and wept violently.
 County Attorney Brunback is quoted as saying this evening: Tt was all a farce, I knew that there were three jurors unfavorable to the state and would hang the jury. I will begin at once to investigate and arrests for perjury are pretty sure to follow. Perjury has been committed in the testimony of the defense"

AS GOOD AS ACQUITTED
The Jury in the Jesse Morrison Case
 Cannot Agree.

EldOraGn Kas., Dec. 14.-Jessie Nor risOn's trial for the murder of Mrs. C.. Olin Castle, whose life she is charged with having caken because of her love for Castle, ended today at noon in a hung jury. Although the jury did not agree on a verdict the result of their delibera tions- came near being an ac- qufttal. Almost before the cass had been discussed by them nine jurors voted for acquittal and thres for con viction, three holding out for man slaughter in the fourth degree, the punishment for which ranged from six months in jail to two years in the pen itentiary. The jurors had been out since Tuesday morning, and for the last three days, realizing that they could not reach a verdict, they had waited patiently for their discharge. The case will now go over to the spring court.
 In the meantime Miss Morrisons lawyers will make application for her release on bond, which, it is believed Judge Shinn has already made up his mind to grant. It is not believed that

The Baby Show Yesterday Morning and the Prizes The Ribbon Parade in inc Afternoon Was a Vision Which Many Of tha BehGIdGTS WiII Never See Again and the the Continuation in the MaSQuers Parade Was SOme- thing Worth Seeing Many Times. The Pro- granHe Of the Closing Day of The Carnival.

Friday was, in many respects, the biggest day of the carnival, unless the final and closing day should outshine it.
 The forenoon was devoted to the baby coach parade and baby show and it was beyond question q great feat ure. In the afternoon the ribbon pa rade aroused the admiration of the thousands who beheld it. The dressing of the different vehicles was certainly artistic. During the intervals betwe 7n these features there Were vaudeville performances and the Midway, which, like the poor, we have with us al ways-that is during the carnival. In the evening was the grand bal n3sque and the big carnival masquerade pa rade, in which nearly everybody join ed. It was a huge success and per haps caused more real fun than any other feature of the carnival.
 The chief event of the closing day of the carnival will be the steer~ty-ing tournament and cowboy sports a. the driving park. The program will com mence at 1 o'clock and will include a half mile running race; a cowboy re- lay race and. the stecr-tying contest. The last of the free vaudeville shows will occur before the queens throne and Her Majesty will disappear in Q silk cocoon.

TERRIBLE SALOON FIGHT.
Officer and Bandfl Gang Cause Wreck
 and Death.

Mountain View, O. T., Dec. Hone of the most terrific shooting scrapes that ever occurred in Oklahoma took place at Mountain View, Washita. county, on the rew line of the Rock Island, last night in the Cattle EX- change saloon. A party of four, known as the Hughes gang from Oak Creek, came in to tal0s the town, after shoot ing up few Out-of-way places. Mar shal Jesse Morris and a deputy by the name of Acres, a barber formerly from Wichita, Kan, rounded up the gang in the saloon. Morris threw his gun on a half-breed Cherokee by the name of Palmsley. Palmsley was too quick, however, and knocking the gun aside, drew two forty-fves and the ball opened.
 The house was full of people, as a number of games were going on, and at the first shot a stampede of widest character followed. Kid Hudspeth lay on the floor and a forty-five passed be-
