A Montana Legislator Who Was offered a
Bribe Several Times,

Washington, January 22.-Patrick w.
Murray, of the Montana Legislature,
from Butte, testified that he several
times had been offered bribe for his
vote for Clark. The prosecution an
nounced that they had no more wit
nesses on hand, and the committee ad-
journed until tomorrow.
Washington, January 22.-The first
witness to-day in the Clark bribery In
vestigation was A. L. Smith, president
Of the Montana National Bank at Hele-

the bank, involving Clark or members
Of the last Montana legislature. Mr..
Smith could recall the names of only a
few members who had accounts in the
bank last winter and these had been
depositors several years. He also said
that neither Clark nor Welcome trans
actedlany business in the bank during
the last session of the legislature, ex-
cept that Clark, just prior to the close
of the session, had given him personal
check for $4,000, and he had never
drawn upon that account since.

tions.

that the first and last paragraphs be
adopted. The report as amended was
adopted. The resolution reads: ITO
what extent is polygamy practiced, or
are polygamous marriages entered into

suit if any steps should be taken or

mountain, which ends at Spionkop. The
artillery positions were behind and on
the plain. The British carefully worked
along the hills until within 1000 yards
Of the commanding kopje on which the
Beers were concentrated, concealed be-
hind the immense boulders strewn
thickly over the hills. The artillery
opened the attack, and the batteries
worked continuously, pouring tons OF
shrapnel among the Beers who devoted
their attention to the musketry fire on
the British infantry. The Beers stuck
to their rocky fastnesses with the great
est tenacity, and at the conclusion OF
the day the British had only advanced
across a few ridges. The Beers appar-
entity have few guns, and they did little
damage. Captain Honley, of the Dublin
Fusileers, fell mortally wounded while

NO DECISIVE BATTLE.
London, january %, 2:30 p. m.--Noth-
ing has been received thus far to-day
to indicate that any conclusive result
was reached by the British forces in the
region of the upper Tugela. The British
seem to be doggedly advancing in the
face of an equally stubborn resistance.
At the close of yesterdays fighting the
republicans had merely evacuated their
first line of defense to take up another
semi circular position a short distance
in the rear, recalling the old burgher
ruse by which the Beers had previously
managed to entice the British into fatal
traps Dispatches from elsewhere In
South Africa this morning give trivial
"details of minor happenings, and do not
Illuminate the situation.

task, and ad either ITO obey orders or
