The Direct Testimony for the De,
fense in the Clark Case May
End This Week.
BlCKF0RD AND PHILLIPS TESTIFY
Justices Hunt and Pigot Summoned
to Washington by Chairman
Chandler.

Washington, Feb. 5.-James Ryan
OF Butte was the first witness In the
Clark case today. He testified that
Representative Normoyle had asked
him to see Clark and ascertain II he
could not get some money for him
(Normoyle) out OF the contest. Ryan
also testified that Representative
Murray had told him II he could get
a purchaser for some lots OF his for
$2,5O0 he would not come to Wash.
ington to testify. Witness said he
had gone to Helena in Clark's inter-
est during the legislature, but had
paid his own expenses.
"What did you do in Helena?"
asked Birney.
~ drank whisky principally. l
helped Clark by having good time
with the boys" was the reply.
Robert Fair OF Butte contradicted
Normoyle's statements, declaring
that he had never made any sugges-
ton that he could get 81 900 or any
other sum by voting for Clark.
Washington, Feb. 7.-Walter M.
Bickford was practically the only
witness before the senate committee
on elections today In the Clark inves-
tigation. He was one OF Clark's spe-
cial friends in the last Montana sena-
torial campaign. Bickford contra.
dlcted much of the testimony oi
Speaker Stiff, Senator Myers, Repre-
sentative Sullivan, DIR. Ector, Cowan
and Others. He admitted, however,
rendering to DR.. Ector $1,000 with
which to lift the Indebtedness of Rep.
reseutative Woods of Ravalli county
saying he had not intended that Mr.
Woods should know of his doing
this, and his only purpose was to
control the debt so that the DAILY
people could not get hold OF 1t, and
thus force Woods into voting con
trary to his inclinations. He received
the money from Senator Clark's son
and when 1t was not accepted fol
Wood by DIR. Ector he had returned
1t to Clark. Bickford also explained
the purchase of timber land owned
by Representative Mclaughlin prior
to the meeting Of the legislature. He
contended that the property was
worth more than he paid for 1t, and
that timber was necessary In Clark't
business. In his deal with McLaugh
lin witness had never talked with
him concerning the senatorial situa
ton, nor tried to secure by money
his vote for Clark.
In cross-ex xaminatiOn the witness
said he was counsel for Clark, but
after saying he would not tell how
much his fees had been, he said that
all told, Clark had paid him 81. 800 al
counsel. He said McDermott had re
turned to him the money expended IL
the campaign, and he thought Nc
Dermott was engaged in Clark's in
terest. During the day the commit
tee formally declined for the presen,
to allow the defense to go into th'
campaign OF 1893.

This Is the second day OF the bat

than 1t was yesterday. The Beers
began action by shelllng our blvou-
acks with their Long Tom and Pom

six-inch shells fell near thespot where
Gen. Butler and his staff were watch

Headquarters Camp, Springfield
Bridge, Feb. 9.-The position taken
north OF Tugela river proved difficult
to maintain.
Regiments sent across as reinforce
ments went into the front line of en-
trenchments. but owing to great
strength OF the Beers In the Bakfon-
tein hills to the left, 1t was found i'm
possible to advance without unnec.
essary loss.
The Beers kept shelling the British
position, but could not get range.
The British fire failed to silence the
Boer guns. Wednesday afternoon,
Gen Butler resolved not to press the
advance by this route. The trans
port train moved back and the in
fantry retired from Vaal Krantz.
The Boer superiority Of shell ire ren.
dered further advance impossible.

London. Feb. l0.-A special dis
patch dated Friday, Feb. 8, at Spear
mans Camp, gives an explanation
OF General Buffers retirement. Ac-
cording to the account. n balloonist
had discovered on Wednesday that
the Beers had developed extraor6in-
ary strength on Doom Kloof, to the
British left, where they had been abe
to draw up dozen machine guns,
fitted with disappearing carriages
and continually masked. The dis
covery was made In time to prevent
the British falling into n trap, rs
they commanded the road that the
British would have to take to reach
Ladysmith. These guns rendered
the actual position of the British un-
tenable, and further advance impos-
sible, except at the cost Of a terrible
and useless loss OF life.

MRS. EVANS GIVEN VERDICT.
Savannah, Florida and Western Loses
Case in Georgia Courts.

Savannah. Ga. August 2i.-(Special)-
In the city court today Mrs. Elizabeth
Evans, of Lakeland, Fla. was given a
verdict for 5000 against the Savannah.
Florida and Western railway. Mrs. Evans
sued for $4,000 for the killing of her hus
band j. j Evans. at Lakeland several
months ago holding that his death was
due to negligence on the part of the COM
pany's agents. The peculiar feature of the
suit was the fact that 1t was brought
here instead of In Florida. where the ac-
cident occurred. The reason for this as
represented the plaintiff was that the
Florida supreme court is so far behind
with this work that 1t would take five or
six years to get final decision. The case.
of course. is bound to go to the supreme
court and in Georgia a quicker determi-
nation of IL is expected.
