crowded house given to DR.. Charles
Reign Scoville of Chicago in his stereop.
tican lecture on the Holy Land, az tho

illustrated, and asking all to join in the
sioginE which was led by Prof. DeLoss
Smith Of Indianapolis. Indiana.
Then for two and half hours the
audience enjoyed beautiful views and
glowing descriptions, enlivened by an
occasional moving picture.
After a moving picture of the massa-
ere af an Armenian family by Turkish
troop, DR.. Scoville said: Those that
live by the sword shall perish by the
sword" Since America freed down.
trodden Cuba she should not hesitate to
blot out this curse from the eastern con-
tinent. Civilized nations have stood al
ready to long with folded hands.
DR.. Scoville is not professional lec-
turer, hut ID an evangelist and the aud
fence got fash of the power that has
made him peer Of Moody when, after
picture Of Magdale, he made brief but
earnest plea for the same standard Of
purity for man that is demanded of his
sister woman.

morning. Rain had fallen throughout the
night the first of any consequence in this
section for many months. and the air was
chilly. The observation car was patron

tourists was not dampened. The first

district In all sixty-five miles of rail-
way track are used in bringing out coal,
and 2.o60 men are employed.
A brief stop was made at Green River,
where the citizens welcomed the whiting
newspaper men with q serenade, and
served refreshments. Another stop was
made at Fish cut. made famous by the

Gives History of Land Purchases on Which
Action Is Based.

! The answer then enumerates specif-
cany each tract of land purchased
from Mr.. Cobban. stating the day upon
which it was purchased and the
amount paid. It is shown that Sena-
tor Clark acquired the property men
toned in the complaint at different
periods running from July, 1899, to

Cobban. making as many payments.

purchased only the timber standing
upon it.

Butte, July 25.-WithOUt waiting to
be served with summons, or stopping to
take advantage by demurrer of the
many material errors in the complaint,
Senator w. a. Clark today filed his an
swer in the federal court here to the
suit brought against him by the Unit
ed states Senator Clark in this legal
paper has even gone further than the
law requires. as he has sworn to the
denials and affirmations made in the
answer The law does not require that
such a legal paper be made under
oath. but Senator Clark preferred to
do so in order to add further strength
to il and to give its allegations all the
force with which it is possible to arm
them This answer IS OF cOnSldera bic
length. covering some thirty pages OF
tyDewriting. Tt was drawn by the Hon.
Senator Clark and is considered by
competent authority q mastery legal
paper and a model of pleading.
Long as the answer is, it does not
compare in that respect with the COM
plant which is understood to have
been drawn in Washington and which
bears the signature of Attorney Gen
eral Knox and an army of lesser legal
talent employed by the government
Though far shorter. the answer meets
every afleEaIl0n OF the Egill ltdlflL lUllA
and refutes in plain and unmistakable
language the entire case of the govern
ment.
Suit IN Equity.
The suit is an equity one. II was
brought for the purpose of trying to
set aside patents to land issued TO a
number of different entrymen and
women whose titles were purchased by
r. N. CObban OF A1issOula and which
the latter gentleman subsequently sold
to Senator Clark. From a legal stand
point and technically speaking the ac-
ton is an equity one but from ii nom
legal and unprecedented point of view
the suit bears strong indications and
earmarks of being in the nature of q
political persecution
The answer denies that Cobban ever
claimed TO act for the use or benefit
of the defendant, that false or fraud
ulent proofs were used in obtaining
title to the lands in controversy or that
the several entrymen and entrywomen
from whom CObban made purchases
were pafd compensation IN any way for
locating the land. It is stated that
Cobban bought the tracts regularly IN
the ordinary course of business. The
defendant says that he purchased the
lands from Cobban for valuable con-
sideratioa without notice or guowledEe
of any person directly or indirectly
connected with IL
