Mrs. @. B. Phillips is quite sick at

entire country, and it is feared that
there will be a great deal more.

friends keep US posted on all items OF

Cotton is opening very rapidly in

BUTTE, Mon, May Ex-Governor
Smith has sent dispatches from here to
Senator w. A. Clark, senator Chan
der, chairman Of the committee on
privileges and elections, and Senator

had disregarded and revoked the action
Of Lieutenant Governor Spriggs in
naming Mr.. Clark to succeed to the
vacancy caused by his own resignation
and saying he had named Martin Ma,
ginnis of Helena to fill the vacancy.
The governor gives as his reasons his
opinion that the appointment Of Mr..
Clark by the lieutenant governor was
tainted by COLLISION and fraud. The
dispatches are practically the same,
that to Mr.. Clark reading: -
Il have this day disregarded and re.
voked your appointment as United
States senator made. by Governor
Spriggs on the 18th inst. as being
tainted with collision and fraud, and
have this day appointed Hon. Martin
Maginnis United States senator to fill
the vacancy caused by your resigna-
hon."

the same tenor. notifying them Of his
action. The governor also

people of the state denying that he had
any knowledge of the contemplated step
when he left Montana for California.
He said he went to California at the
request of Thomas Kinds to look into
the title of some mining property in
which Miles Finlen was interested. He
owed Fnlen $4,000 and thought by go-5
ing he might earn fee that would be-
applied on the Indebtedness. IL

guilty of any wrong doing or any idea
