twelve years of age, were before Police

other boys of playing about gravel train

and allowed the cars to run down on the
main track, an act which came near caus-
ing serious accident. passenger train

RELIEF OF LADYSMITH.

Though there is considerable excite
ment over General Buffers dash tow
ards Ladysmith. which later develop
ments show was taken independent Of
Field Marshal Roberts. the war office
has now come To the conclusion that
the relief of Ladysmith is only mat
ter OF short time. According TO the
war office officials idea a dash To the
relief of Kimberley will quickly follow
the relief of Ladysmith. and then will
come a long spell OF organization and
perhaps three or four months will
elapse before the column or columns
will have the transportation equipment

tainty of meeting with no serious re-
verses. The latter conditions are held
by the authorities to be absolutely es-
sential before any forward movement
towards the invasion Of the Transvaal
is begun. hence there is small proba-
bility of the war ending inside Of six

Arguments in Favor and Against The Grant
Ing OF a New Trial.

An old case In a new phase was be-
fore Chief Justice Matteson and Jus
tices Stiness and Tillinghast in the APP
pellate court to-day 1t was the case
OF the condemnation of certain liquors
taken from Peter Germaine at the Lin
coin hotel some few years ago. The
case was before the court on petition
for a new trial. and there were two
principal points, one going 90 the iuris-
diction OF the court when the action
was begun, II being shown by the YER
dict OF the jury the liquor seized was
WORTH more than $50. and the other TO
the question OF whether all the liquor
in a place ~ forfeited when some of the
liquor is sold Illegally.
II was contended. too. that the attor-
ney general should have brought the
Information, and also that the informa-
ton was not filed by the officer maxi
ing the seizure. or by an officer desig-
mated by the court for that purpose.
To these points the state upheld that

ASKED
TO VOTE
FOR CLARK
Murray TestifIes He Was Ap-
preached, but That He Re-
fused All Propositions.

Washington. Jan. 22.-When the sem
ate committee on privileges and cleo
lions began it's session today for the
continuance OF its investigation of the
charges OF bribery i'm connection with
the election OF Senator Clark OF Mon
tGHa, ex-senator Faulkner informed
the committee that the Ector letters
had not yet arrived. He said they had
left Butte Monday night and were ex-
pected hourly.
The first witness OF the day was a. L.
Smith. president OF the Montana Ma
tlonal Bank Of Helena. Evidently the
purpose of calling Mr.. Smith was to
show transactions of the bank involv-
ing Senator Clark or members OF the
last Montana legislature. AIR. Smith
could recall the names of only a few
members who had accounts at the bank
last winter and these had, he said been
depOsitors at the bank for several
years. He also said that neither Clark
nor Welcome had transacted any busi-
ness at the bank during the last session
except that Senator Clark had opened
an account with the bank just prior TO
the close of the session.
He said that his bank and the bank
of clark and Brothers of Butte eX-
changed business.
Patrick w. Murray. a member OF the
Montana legislature from Butte. testi-
fled that he had several times been ap-
preached and his vote solicited for Mr..
clark for the senate. He had refused
all the propositions. because Mr. Clark
had opposed the election OF the ticket
on which he had made the race for the
legislature. He had not been employed
by Mr.. DAILY for fourteen years. and
was under no obligations To that gen.
teman. At this point the prosecution
announced that they had no more wit
nesses on hand, and the committee ad-
journed until tomorrow.
