MR.. CoMAN's TESTIMONY.

MR.. COMANS TESTIMONY.
Mr.. Conan was next examined and
said Mr.. Gibson and the Governor we're
in conversation in the Governors office
and that he was in his private office
talking with Gen. s. ID. Lee, that the
Governor called him and said, want
you to witness this conversation and
he then repeated that which he had
just testified to as occurring that morn
ing. file then said call me policeman
and as walked out to secure the Off
Ger / heard the Governor say, you
have struck the wrong man."
GEN. LEES AFFIDAVIT.
Gen. Stephen d. Lee, who heard a
part of the conversation, was compelled
to leave the city on the A. & " train,
but made an affidavit as follows:
about $50 o'clock this morning 1
was in the ante-room of the office of
Governor Longino and was introduced
to Mr.. Gibson by Mr.. Conan. then
left the office and later / called and
found the Governor in earnest CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Gibson. About that
time 1 heard the Governor call Mr..
Conan, and apparently very earnestly
give him some instructions. At the
same time Mr.. Gibson got up to leave
the office. | walked in and Governor
Longino quite excitedly said: You
have struck the wrong man! | can't
be bought : By this time the man
Gibson had left the office. The Gov
ernor told me that he was too un-
strung to talk about anything and that
he ought to have killed the man before
he left the office. | congratulated him
on his action in the matter, as | under
stood it, shook hands with him and
left the office"
Attorney General McClurg stated
that the State would like to have a
bond commensurate with the offense
and to insure the appearance of the
defendant.
Mr.. Alexander, attorney for the de-
PENDANT, said he would rely strictly
UPON the broad sense of justice of the
Judge to fix the bail at a reasonable
amount and that the high character of
the witnesses would probably magnify
the law on the subject to the general
public.
Judge Fitzgerald decided that a
5000 bond would be ample and the
bond was given for the appearance of
Mr.. Gibson the second Monday in Jan
uary before the circuit court.
The bond in the sum of 5000 was
signed by Capt. o. J. Waite and DR.. s.
S. Carter few minutes after the trial
and the prisoner released from Gus
tody.

rHE BANKRUPTCY LAW.

There has be much divided opinion
ON the operations of the Nelson bank
ruptcy law, and the current has OF
late been setting strongly against IT.
The law has been taken advantage OF
in cases entirely out of keeping with
ats original intention. That the law
gave reliefin many worthy cases IL
not to be doubted, but when goods
can be bought and then paid for by
going throug bankruptcy. the law IS
seriously defective. Senator McCum-
Der, of North Dakota, has according
Nv introduced bill TO repeal the law,
and whether this passer or not, it IS
probable that the provisions OF the
bill will be materially amended DUR
ing this session of congress.

Unused railroad Tickets.

nk&A@A
Some men with unused railroad tick
cts on their hands sell them to scalp
ers while others go to the railroad
company that issued them and obtain
their value in money. Most persons,
however, do neither and accept the loss
i when the ticket is worth less than a
dollar. Indeed many persons do not
realize that the railroad companies
stand ready to redeem unused tickets
even Of small value, so that the COM
| panies must be richer by many thou
sands of dollars year through this
ignorance.
Every railroad ticket bears the name
Of the general passenger agent and Of
the general manager Of the road. 1t is
q simple matter to inclose the ticket
with a letter directed to the general
passenger agent asking him to refund
the money paid and explaining the rea-
son why the ticket is left unused in the
| hands of the purchaser. It is courte-
GUS to inclose stamped envelope in
which the money may be returned.
When all these things have been
done, the company generally acknowl-
edges the receipt Of the ticket holders
communication and promises to inves-
tigate the matter. The investigation
consists in the proper Identification Of
the ticket by the agent who sold it and
a little bookkeeping to set the accounts
right. Then the purchaser receives a
check for the amount due from the
railroad company along with letter
requesting acknowledgment. = New

THE DAVIS SUCCESSION.

It's to be hoped that brains rather
than wealth will be the criterion
which the legislature of Minnesota
will apply in choosing 9 successor to
Senator Davis this winter. The state
has been so we'll represented by the
able statesman that has passed away
that it would be no less than dis
grace to the whole state to elect any
one of inferior ability.
However, there are among the
candidates certain whose election
should be satisfactory to the whole
state, even if opposed during the con-
test by friends of other candidates.
Congressman j. T. McCleary has
made national reputation for HIM
self as on authority on financial mat
tiers. He has made it point to
make himself fully infrmed on all
public questions, and on account Of
good judgment and broad gauge
craftsmanship is sure to be number
ed among the statesmen of the future.
: =
His election to the senate would
come as just reward for the services
already rendered to his country and
as fitting recognition Of ability
Moses E. Clapp Is another broad
gauge statesman who has many
friends in this section Of the state,
and who is everywhere recognized as
a man of that kind Of ability which is
required of senator who would
represnt to state with credit to him
self and to the state.
