CLARK'S APPOINTING Mt.
Gov. Smith Denounces it as q
Shame, Disgrace and an
Insult.

: Ogden, IT., May 16.-Gov
Robert b Smith, of Montana,
who was in Ogden today, arriv-
ing from the coast en- route to
Helena, spoke in relation to the
appointment of Senator Clark to
the United States Senate by Lieut.
Gov Spriggs, in very vigorous
terms, calling it "contemptible
trickery." He said:
cit is an insult to the Senate to
send Clark back to that body. 1t
is disgrace, shame and humiIi-
alton upon the people of Mon
tana, and the Senate should act
upon the resolutions and show
him that they do not want him
there, as he can take the hint no
other way"

error has been asked for or obtained to
the Indictment in its favor

the judgment in its favor.
The plaintiff in error having agreed
that the jury might find against either
defendant, and the California Fruit Trans
portation Company not being a party be-
fore this court. it was held by the Court
of Appeals that it was not at liberty to
enter upon a consideration of the contro-
versy as to which of the two defendants
Is primarily liable. The only question
presented by the record is as to the La
bility of the plaintiff in error to the de-
PENDANT in error.
The evidence showed that the california
Fruit Transportation Company is an
Illinois corporation, which furnishes what
is known as refrigerator cars, constructed
with ice tanks. and especially used in the
transportation Of fruits. vegetables and
other perishable articles.
The plaintiff in error employed these
cars for the use OF shippers of perishable
freight over its lines. The Strawberries
In question were delivered to and put in
two Of these refrigerator cars, and trans
ferred to the plaintiff in error, where they
formed a part of its train. There We're
no bills Of lading, except those given by
the plaintiff in error, and all the freight
charges, including the extra charge for
the use of the refrigerator cars, were
paid to the plaintiff in error. 1t was
necessary that these cars should be pro-
perly refrigerated and kept in that con-
dition until the fruit reached its deStina-
ton, and it clearly appeared that. the
damage sustained by the defendant in
error resulted from failure to perform
that duty. The Supreme; Court reviews
and quotes from the case of the Pennsyl-
vania R. r. Co. VS.. Roy, 102 U. s., 451,
which was an action for damages sus-
tanned by q passenger of said road while
riding in a sleeping car forming part of
its train. and in which the judgment for
the defendant in error, amounting to
$4,000. was affirmed by the United States
Supreme Court. and in conclusion of its
opinion says: 1.-The California Fruit
Transportation Company for considerac
ton, furnished its cars to the plaintiff in

Large Holes Filled in With Blankets
at the City Jail.
The horrible condition of the City Jail
is the subject for a great deal of discus
sion at present
Visitors to the city, VINO see the Jail
and go through it, come out with, its
awful shadows haunting them. They
also come out with wet shoes CT used by
the streams of water that flow through
the corridors. They are ever afterwards
confronted by vision of the consump-
tive faces of the prisoners and over
crowded cells in which there are white
and colored people confined-three and
four in cell. Some of the whites are
put in the cells with the colored prison
ers.
One of the most disgraceful scenes
about the corridors is the blanket stuff
ing" in the holes made by the prisoners
in an attempt to escape. These holes
should be filled in with stone and brick
instead of blankets and plumber The
prisoners can easily remove the blankets
and escape through the holes when al
lowed to remain in the corridors through
the night.

Ell TEMPO, q newspaper In the City

It apparently believes the worsr that
Bry ante campaign orators say of the

to believe that both parties are greedy
to swallow up Mexico and declares:
THE only salvation for Mexico, see.
ing that the democrats, as we'll as the
republicans, are but birds of prey, is to
hope that the questions that divide the
two parties may reach such q point as
to admit no other solution but an ap-
peal to arms, and that the country may
be plunged into civil war more devas-
tating and desperate than the last one,
which shall weaken 1t to such an
extent as to prevent it interfering with
the affairs of other nations and perhaps
lead to it's disintegration.
but as this prospect lie at present
rather remote, the only thing that We
can do is to ward off the dangers as
they present themselves, to the best of
our ability, and always distrust our
neigh bors whatever may be their polit

them, in one form or another, believe
in territorial expansion, and such ex-
pansion can only be secured at the ex-
pense of the weak-in this case Mex
leo and Central America.
But all Mexico is not to he judged by
