Il. a. Laughlin, J S. b. Apol-

vein of coal. At depth of 1870
feet the vein was four feet thick

The coal has every appearance
of being very fine grade and the
promoters are enthusiastic over the
outlook.
Mr.. Laughlin has been working
for the past six months in the pres
ent field and Mr.. Apollos has been
deyoting a great deal of time and
money on Ardmore mines for

TEN NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS
Opposed to Thompson Will Probably Leave
State Without Senator.

Lincoln. Neb.. March 21.-An una
vailing conference of Republicans of
the Legislature and an equally futile
effort to hold caucus under new
call. marked the closing struggle in the
Nebraska senatorial canvass. Indica-
lions at midnight are that the dead
lock will outlast the session, the last
legislative day Of which will be tomor-
row. and that Nebraska for two years
will be unrepresented in the upper
House of Congress. barring of course
the possibility of an extra session.
The day and night have been mark
ed by vain appeals to'the 10 Republ
cans who are holding out against d.
f. Thompson to cease their opposition
and enter the caucus or give him their
votes in Joint convention.

Best Stands Ordeal of Cross-Exami-

Case Will Go to Jury Today. and Verdict
Looked for. Tonigh..

Salem, Mass, March 27-The Best
murder trial now approaches it's final
sage. Before tomorrow night the pris-
oner may know his fate The defence
closed just before noon, the prisoner
having been on the stand during yes
tcrday afternoon and this forenoon, a
period of four hours in all, over an hour
of which was under the pitiless cross
examination of Attorney General
knowlton, during which the prisoner
was by turns defiant and then he
writhed and showed the effect OF the
barb. Taken as a whole, however, the
man stood the ordeal in very good
shape. AS soon as he had closed the
government put few witnesses on in
rcbuttal and court took the noon Ieces s.
In the afternoon Mr.. Sisk made his
plea to the jury in behalf of Best, care
fully going over the case from it's Open
ing and attacking every point made by
the government, Analysing the words
of the many witnesses, pointing out
what he contended to be the weak
ncsscs of the structure built up by the
district attorney and striving to i'm
press upon the jury the terrible nature
of the crime charged against the pris-
oner at the bar.
After Mr.. Sisk has finished his argu-
ment, tomorrow morning, Attorney
General knowlton will sum up for the
government and the charge will be
given to the jury by Judge Fox. The
case will probably be in the hands Of
the jury, tomorrow afternoon, ana it is
possible that verdict may be reached
by tomorrow night.
