ferd any consideration for his vote Tor
that gentleman The details Of the or

Mr.. Tierney said the $500 which he
put into the organization OF the new
bank at Townsend had been Kept in
the safe Of Darsey & Co., where II had
been put IN preference to putting II in
the bank Of Hyatt & Delanty the only

| the $500 drawn out in this transaction
not TO exceed $1,000 had been entered

In response to a question from Sena-

Notwithstanding he knew there were
asperslons cast upon his character be-
cause OF his vote for Mr.. Clark. he had
brought no paper of any Kind to Wash
ingtOn with him TO show where the
$500 used In organizing the Townsend
bank had come from. The questioning
brought out the fact that both Eversoil
and Representative Sheveley who. to-
gether with Mr., Tierney, constituted
the whole legislative delegation from
Broadwater county, were stockholders
In the new Townsend bank. OF the
entire s95 900 capital Mr.. Tlerney testi-
fed that himself and relatives and
business associates had contributed
about $4,000 Messrs. Eyersoll and
Sheveley each having $1,000, The or

years previous 20 the time Of It's actual
organization, but the idea had not been
put into execution because OF the diff

Butte, testified TO being sent by men
connected with Mr.. Daily to Flathead
county during the legislative election
OF 1898, TO assist Mr.. Whiteside in his
race for the State senate. on the train
out from Columbia Falls he said he
had talk With Whiteside. and the lat
ter told him that Senator Clark had
sent money into the county to be used
against him. adding he would get even
with Clark ~ II ever came In his way
for bucking him In his election.
Mr.. Whiteside had said he would
"j6b CLARK TO q fare you-welI" Again,
in Helena after the legislature met, he
asked whlteside for some money.
Whiteside replied" said the witness,
"that he had only 81, though a few
weeks before he had had $4,000 in his
pockets. butitha as 1t had not been his
he turned II over to the State. He said
he had been offered 800, 900 to leave the
town. I told him. continued the wit

keeping the money, but he replied that
he could make more out OF the other

he had on hand. and that he had paid
the amount back.
