 Mir. McPherson declared that once seat ed, MT Roberts could never be expelled. He devoted much of his tipe to answering the argument of MT. Lf,tleield. At times he was exceedingly caustic.
 MT. Crumpacker, of Indiana, was unable to agree with the resolutions of either braIch of the committee. He wanted the majority reports amended so as to require a two-thirds vote to adopt them. -- MT. Wilson, of Idaho, challenged some of the statements made against the Mormon people. He said he represented 5000 Mor- mons, and .n all that made good citizenship, they were the equal of any constituency in the country. He affirmed that the Mormon church abandoned polygamy as a doetrine in 1890 in good faith and he believed they had lived up to their promise.
 Upon his responsibility as member, he stated that polygamy was not being enter ed into in Idaho and the church had re- gently issued proclamation against It., which he had road. He was opposed to polygamy as much as any member, and he repudiated the statement that the church was teaching, advocating advising its practice.

DOUBLE MURDER
 IN LIMESTONE
An Old Man and His Son Shot
 While Driving Home.
DISPUTE OVER SETTLEMENT I
John Lsgg Who Fired tn Shot Has Left the Country and Nothing is Known of His Where
 aboutS.

Athens, January A-At a lumber camp near Blairs ferry. on Elk river, twelve miles west of Athens there occurred ; shocking and terrible crime last evening just at sunset Three prominent citizens of that section of the county were engaged in war that resulted in the death of two and made the third a murderer and fu- gitive from justice The parties engaged in the fight were John Legg and John Ben ningiield and his son. John, a young man about 25 years of age.
 The three were partners in lumber deal of some kind, and on Monday the two Ben- ningfields were in Athens selling lot of timber that they had here on the yard, and that afternoon returned to their homes on the west side of the river, and yesterday they, with Legg, met at the lumber camp to settle.
 It appears from the reports that reach this place that Legg was not satisfied with what the old man and his son had done in this place Monday, and was not willing to abide their action. He demanded of them that they make up to him what he claimed as difference between the prices received and the price he quoted to them. All being partners, they were not willing to do this, and war of words followed, and later much abuse from Legg, who was armed with a breech-loading double-barrell shot gun.
 Tue older man, Benningfield, had aa- ways been e quiet cjazon and was not seeking trouble, and Ee advised his son against any fuss, and rather than have any chey took the abuse of L;<ir armed preparatory for leaving uleir ho,T'e. Iegs still nounded them and abused them and did all in his power to get a row. brs the oler man advised ais son against a difii- cuity as being the wroug way to seosie a ting of that kind, and they took the abuse Of Legg, and when Ile.r teams were ready they moulded their wa son at.d drove away. Legg followed them fer a slort distance, and seeing ',ilat they would nots resent h.s abuse deliberately fired on ule men as they quietly drove away, instantly killing the elGer and mor;GLly woundirS ule son, who died during the niSLlt. Legg made his escape and has nos C. been heard CT. He is about 40 years Of age and has a large family.
 Joan Benrfngfield, Sr.. wus aooUt 65 yeas oi age and a man of large family, and had many friends in his community where he has lived fer more th&n fly years, and was recognized as a quiet and inoffensiye citizen.
 Legg has a.ways borne a fine eharact-c until this came up but was recognized as man of fiery temper.

A WINNING TICKET.
Utah Republicans Name state Omcers ut
Provo.

Utah Republicans Name State Omcers ut
Provo.
The work of the Republican conven-
tion in Provo yesterday was n theme
for rejoicing among the Republicans Of
this city; it was the occasion Of deep
sorrow among the Salt Lake Tagals.
The ticket and the platform are most
satisfactory; both are promises Of vic
tory.
The platform is frank and fair; moth
ing in it indicates any desire to evade
any of this years issues; 1t stands by
President Mckinley in his work of ex-
ecuting the laws; it praises the great
work he has performed under mighty
trials; it holds up his hands us the
needed work progresses.
On the question of silver 1t tersely
points out that the conditions which
made 1t vital issue four years ago
have ceased to exist, and points out
that greenbacks are much more So
licitude to Mr.. Bryan this year than
silver.
1t renews the allegiance OF the party
to protection; it treats the Philippine
question as Jefferson did Louisiana, Us
Monroe did Florida, as Polk did Cali
fornia. 1t arraigns the Democracy for
its hypocrisy and imbecility.
The ticket looks to us like a winning
cne, like one to conjure by.
The people of Utah are olG-time pro-
tectionists; when they look out upon
their fiocks and herds, their fields Of
beets, their lead and copper mines and
their manufactures, they will hesitate
before they determine to serve notice
on the nation that they want that pro-
lection withdrawn.
They are old-time expansionists.
When they settled in this corner of
Mexico, they remember that Mexico
passed the title to the United States
and that the great Republic never once
thought of asking their consent to the
change of government; and sti.l, in the
fullness of time, they saw their beauti-
full state take form and saw it received
with all honors into the Union They
will hardly, this year. cast a vote Of
censure or protest against the onward
march of the great Republic.
Some Of their boys died In the Phil
ippines. They will not vote to give the
chief magistracy OF the country into
the hands OF n man who says in ad-
vance that IL elected he will turn over
those islands as spoiLs to the men who

"The Only W@y."

Governor Thomas Is outat'oken aud
frank in praise of his police machine
for the reason that 1t left the city of
Denver at the mercy of hold-ups anu
murderers while the officers attended
to the more important work of defeat
ing Thomas J. Maloney at the Demo
cratic primaries.
''The use of the police at any elee-
ton is not good municipal business, {"
said Governor Thomas, with charming
ingenuousness. 1.-THE activity OF any
particular department of municipal
government in politics should, under
ordinary circumstances, be condemned,
but it was the only way to get rid of
Thomas ]. Maloney and to protect the
voter. We can settle down to normal
conditions when we get rid Of Maloney,
and neither the police nor any other
agency will be needed"
1t seems that 1t was "the only way
to get rid of Thomas J. Maloney. Con-
sequently Mrs. Lillian Bell was struck
down, while walking on one OF the best
lighted streets In one OF the central dis;
tricts of the city, and died few days
later, the police being unable to secure
clew and showing child-like ignor-
ance in endeavoring to grapple with
the case. Yet the governor of the state
of Colorado excuses the criminal neg
ligence of the police, because, for
sooth, the department was adopting
"the only way" of downing Mr.. Thorn
as political rival at the polls and was
too busy with this important work ts
make any effort to discover the identi-
ty of Mrs. Bells murderer.
When the police were most perni-
ciously active in their political work,
preceding the holding Of the Democrat
ic primaries, there were five hold-ups
in two days, and yet the department
has not made one arrest that seems to
have justification. But 1t was 'the
only way" to get rid of Thomas ]. Ma.

Colorado says that Denver citizens

lice force settles down to normal con-
