STORIES ARE MIXED
Witnesses in Hamilton Murder Case
Give Much Contradictory
Testimony.

Minneapolis, Feb. 11-There were
several features today in the trial of
Frank H. Hamilton for the murder of
Leonard Day.
The sensational fact has been re-
vealed that no one yet has testified to
seeing the blow struck during the
scufHe that ended in Days death.
Force and George were recalled and
each denied positively that he had
struck Or cut Day. Miss Slagle, the
young woman about whom Hamilton
and Day %quarrelled was also a wit
ness today. She declined to make any
statement which would incriminate
herself and was excused.
It transpires that A. M. Barbee, a
st. Louis taveling man who witnessed
the ARRAY, declines to answer the sum-
mons to appear and testify. Counsel
for the prisoner stated positively to-
day that they did not care to try the
case unless Barbee appeared.
j. T. Gray, a boarder at the West
hotel, also gave evidence, but on CROSS
examination made statements that
co%ntradicted nearly every previous
witness. He said only Hamilton and
Bennett were by Days side when he
died, and that death came before any
doctor reached the room.

RIOTS IN GRANADA.
Demonstrations Against Jesuits and Other
Religious Bodies.

Granada, Feb. ia large mob
paraded the streets here today shout
ing "Long live liberty, ""Down with
the Jesuits."
A crowd gathered around a convent
and shots were fired from within. The
crowd increased in size and the project
with a. detachment of gendarmes re-
paired to the scene. The mob hooted
them. The project entered the con
vent and when he emerged he ex-
planned that the shots were fred by a
couple of gendarmes within the con
vent, in order to attract assistance.
They had not fired on the mob. The
latter renewed it's anti-Jesuit cries and
attempted to break into the building,
but the gendarmes dispersed the
rioters. The excitement still prevails.

VICTORY AND ALBERT.

Story of a LOvers' TIT Between the
Queen and Prince Consort.
They, being dead. yet speak. How
much Of England's greatness is really
due to the late queen and her noble
prince consort will probably never be
known. nor how much his superiority
as a man had to do with the formation
Of her character. The following Incl
dent. which found its way into the pa.
pers at the time. will serve as q case in
point:
Not long after their marriage the
young couple. like others of their kind,
had what is usually styled a lovers tiff.
Instead of arguing the matter. as most
men would have done under the cir
cumstances either through weakness or
pride. thus leading on her part to an
ger, vide Henry of Battenberg and
Wilhelmina. or humiliating her by
bringing her to acknowledge herself in
the wrong. which she might have done.
being really in love with him. but
which as the queen she would never
have forgotten nor really forgiven, he
quietly acknowledged her personality
as queen by bowling himself out Of her
presence and retiring to his own apart
ments. locking the door behind him.
Here no one dared enter without his
express permission.
Growing restless under the feeling Of
his ~displeasure, she followed and
knocked at the door. who is there"
asked Albert, well knowing. however.
who it was by the hesitation shown. in
the step. 1.-THE queen" came the an
swer. 1.-The queen cannot enter" was
his response, and. proud as she was.
she went away and came back again.
Again the same question. the same re-
spouse. with the same result. But wo-
mans love conquered woman's pride,
and a third time Victoria stood at the
door of her husbands apartments. and
a third time came the question, who
is there?" Your wife" "Ah." said
the gentleman as he opened the door
and probably his arms also, my wife
| will always be welcome"

ALL IN The WORLD
Mrs. Nation Says She Will
Not Leave a Saloon
on Earth.

Muscatine, Iowa, Feb. 11-Mrs.
Nation arrived here at noon today and
was met at the train by 1000 people.
A squad of police we're on hand,
at her request, to escort her to the
hotel. The crowd, however, was
peaceable and quiet and evidently
turned out through c~uriousity, for less
than 500 people attended her meeting
at the Grand opera house tonight.
After the meeting closed and the re-
ceipts of the evening were counted,
the financial manager of Mrs. Nation
dissolved partnership with her and
with four Of the six women who ac-
companied her will return tonight to
Kansas.
He said: "My management of Mrs.
Nation ends here. 1 return to Topeka
tonight and four of the six women go
with me. I have now closed up and
am absolutely free. The women will
return to their homes and Mrs. Ma
ton, I understand, will proceed to
Chicago"
Mrs. Nation says: II am in the
hands Of the Lord and will leave for
Chicago tomorrow morning at 1920.
] will not smash any saloons here
tomorrow, although I will call on four
or more places in the morning. I will
do no smashing in Iowa or any other
state until all the hell holes in my
own state, Kansas, are wiped out of
existence. Then I will organize a
band who will smash all the saloons
in the world. The United States first,
Europe next"

SALOONS IN Topeka FORCED
TO CLOSE.
DRUG STORES ARE BUSY.
Do Thriving Business Quenching
Thirst Of furnishing Jay
hawker Capital.

Topeka, Feb. 11-All Joints of
the city are closed tonight.
The citizens made a peremptory
order that the saloons be discontinued
by noon today, and as far as is known
the order was obeyed.
Early this moning Chief of Police
Stahl, with some Of his officers, made
the rounds Of the saloons and notified
the keepers to close at once. They
were in each case presented with a
printed copy of the citizens ulti-
matum and commanded in the interest
of law and good order to close at once.
Chief Stahl told the saloon men that
there was an army Of !, 1000 men wait
ing to march OH a minutes notice to
close the saloons of the city and that
they were of a class that would not
be frightened out of the performance
Of their duty, as they interpreted it.
In only one place did the officers
find any liquor sold and this place
agreed to close at once. Tonight
Topeka is practically a dry town so far
as saloons are concerned.
Some Of the drug stores are said to
be doing a thriving business, but the
condition is much different from a
week or ven a day ago, when there
were about 80 saloons, all running
openly.
The citizens committee has made
all necessary arrangements for the en-
forcement of the law regarding saloons
and will insist that the order be car
ried out to the letter and that every
drinking place be closed and the stock
and fixtures removed from the city by
next Friday noon. The condition of
public sentiment in Topeka tonight is
something remarkable. There has
W. been anything here approaching
it. A vigilance committee is ready to
move IN very short order.

STA|D OLD ST LOUIS
Shocked Sy Rioting and Indis-
criminate Shooting at Pri-
mary Elections.

st. Louis, Feb. 11-Mo1e than 100
shots we're fred, a sergeant of police
and two negroes were wounded and the
primary ballot box was stolen in the
course of a riot about the Second Dis
trict polling place of the Fourth ward
at Twelfth and Linden streets early
this evening. It was only after the
riot call had brought Captain Kelly
with 40 policemen and riot guns to the
scene that a semblance of order was
restored. Even then the streets were
filled with negroes and some white
men all of whom were armed. many
of them intoxicated and looking for
trouble.
Not a ballot was cast there during
the day.
The wounded were Sergeant of Po-
lice Quinlivan and George Monroe and
Fred Jones.
Trouble had been brewing all after
noon. When it came time to open the
polls the Tinker judges had not yet
arrived. Later the Tinker men dis
agreed with the Wells men as to the
advisabillty of opening the back door
OF the polling place. One claimed
that the other had a host of heelers in
waiting and if the back door was
opened these men would press in to
cause confusion and prevent their op-
ponents from voting.
The Noonan crowd claimed that
both the other factions were jockey
ing to prevent any voting because,
they said, the ward was overwhelm-
ingly for Noonan.
The judges being unable to agree no
voting was done. That was the stu
alton up to the time of the riot. The
first shot was fred on Twelfth street,
just south of Linden. Rumor has it
that the first man to draw a revolver
was a negro named Arthur Gardiner.
AS soon as the shot rang out the street
about the polling place became the
scene OF a fusilade. Every man drew
ole or two revolvers and the trouble
continued until the arrival of police
relnforcements. Several arrests were
made.

GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL FOR
ITS CREATION.
CLARK COMES INTO Open
At Last Takes Hand in Senatorial
M~uddle-Working to De-
feat MacGinnis.
Special to The Daily Gazette.

Special to The Daily Gazette.
Helena, Feb. lit is Rosebud
county now. Governor Toole this
afternoon wrote his approval upon
the back of the bill creating the twen-
ty-sixth county and the friends of
Rosebud are very happy tonight.
Governor Toole signed the bill with
a gold pen provided by James Hopkins
of Forsyth, who will preserve it as a
souvenir of the memorable legislative
event.
The session today was brief. Both
houses adjourned early out of respect
to the memory of late ex-State Sena-
tor John W. Power Of Benton, who
died yesterday.
The senate passed in committee of
the whole Myers fellow servant bill,
after a sharp debate.
The gain in the vote for MacGinnis
today, while not unexpected, set the
other candidates guessing.
A strong effort is being made for a
caucu which may bring the contest
to a conclusion, although it is known
that there are several fusionists who
will never 60 into caucus and never
vote for MacGinnis.
W. A. CLARK is working to prevent
MacGinnis' election.
The supreme court today decided
that house bill No: l, passed last ses-
STOP, providing for working of mines
owned by co-tenants, is demonstrations
al SO far as it applies to mines owned
by co-tenants before 1899, when the
law went into effect.
The result of the decision is a disas-
trous blow to F. A. Heinze, who has
been operating some Butte mines
under the act.

governor for approval.
The members Of the house and SEN
ate wore handsome boquets of roses

The senate defeated Lannin's com
pany store bill.
Both houses transacted considerable
routine business today.
A sensation was sprung in the house
this afternoon by Hedges, while house
bill No. 6, providing for milk and meat
inspection, was under consideration in
committee of the whole. Hedges said
that butchers and milk dealers were
raising a corruption fund to head off
legislation in that direction.
He read to the house the affidavit of
Henry Burgess, a milk dealer living
pear Helena, to the effect that Hell
ena, Butte aud other milk dealers
and butchers were assessed different
sums, ranging from $40 to as high as
$50, to raise money to ''see" the COM
mittee and prevent the bill being re-
ported.
The matter stirred up considerable
comment, even in the house.
The speaker will appoint a commit
tee tomorrow to investigate the
charges of attempted bribery.

Restoring the Great BASTARD.

Every one will wish success to Lord
Walsingham in his attempt to restore
that magnificent bird, the great bus
tard. to it's ancient English home in
Norfolk and Suffolk. At present the
bustard is only a winter wanderer to
Britain. but there was a time when it
haunted II English shires and was
known also in the Merse Of Berwick
shire and the open area of the
Lothians. In Norfolk, where the bird
appears to have fingered longest, the
last two examples were killed in 1888,
but 1882 saw the last Of it in Suffolk.
Sixteen birds have now been put down
on the borders Of Norfolk and Suffolk,
and there is no particular reason why
they should not multiply and flourish,
just as the ca%percailzie has in Scot
land.
