spicy debate by introducing the following
resolution
I'VE hereby recommend that, II It shall
be deemed requisite In any conference for
the purpose of effecting an alliance be-
tween the forces opposed to the Repub-
lican party in this campaign. that we
forego our party name, that all other
political parties to such alliance be re-
quired to do likewise as a condition Of
such alliance"
Paul Land opposed the resolution. This
is a matter with which our committee
can deal" he said, decisively I'VE have
no business with it,
A. r.. Jones made a speech against the
resolution. Finally Land moved TO table
The vote was evenly divided, but Chair
man Calderhead decided 1t in the afiirma-
tive. and that ended the resolution.
Candidate Cotterill, Judge Winsor and
John Il. Hart made short speeches just

as fast as his tongue could wag. AS they
might have anticipated, If they had had
any sense, the explanation was received
with jeers. You see, Connors had been In
camp only few hours before he got into
the shooting scrape. and Higgins was him.
self a stranger in that locality; so 1t was
easy to confuse them, especially as they
really did look alike. A dozen men in the
crowd declared positively that the deputy
was the real murderer and they simply
laughed at his papers and star It's too
thinr said the leader; 'we'll give you
couple of minutes to say your prayers and
then up you go.
AT that stage when Higgins life wasn't
worth an old button, a miner came rushing
up with the news that two men had been
badly hurt in a runaway on the edge or
the camp and that one of them was hand
cuffed. That started the crowd and they
suspended proceedings to investigate. 1t
seemed that the other officer with the bona
fide prisoner had attempted to cut around
town at top speed and ran the buggy into
little gulch. He had his collarbone
broken and Connors fractured his leg.
When they carried them into a bar 1t was
seen at once that there had been mis-
take, and. somehow or other, the idea that
they had come within ace of stringlng
up the wrong man took all the lynching
spirit out of the mob. Connors was allowed
to go through, spent six months In jail,
got a change of venue and was actually ac-
quilted on trial. 1 don't know what be-
came of him. Higgins died year or so
ago. That's a true story, boys. and the
very closest call in my memory.
