THE ALLIANCE AsPIRANTs.


The other Alliance statesmen who
are burning with a desire to aid in
conducting county affairs and dish out
the milk and honey Of official patron
age at $125 a month and expenses out
side of the county, are Henry Hare,
j. X. Ellet and Lon Mcdonald. This
makes five from the one city. Each
is hanging on in hope that in the
interests Of harmony the other four
will withdraw and let him have q
clear field, which Is said to be para
mount to a nomination.
Alliance feels that she has not been
fairly dealt with in the matter of the
division of offices. Too many of them
are in the west end. At the last
election she got up bolt which was
intended to open the eyes Of the Re-
publican managers to the fact that
Lexington township was terror when
her rights were scorned.
Things got pretty hot over there a
few weeks before the election, SO hot,
indeed, that some of those who were
engineering the bolt became alarmed
lest their political wings might be
singed with the fervent heat, and there
were good many who drew out of
the fight and voted the ticket straight.
Others stuck to the text, and little
over hundred scratched the entire
county Republican ticket. 1t proved
to be but scratch on the face of the
returns, not in any way endangering
the result.
NO INCLINATION TO GIVE WAY.
Some of the fellows who are now
aspiring for the commissioners Office
were mixed up in the insurrection, but
they have buried their machettes and
are anxious to be known as pacificos.
Some of the others are loyalists and
are advertising the attitude of the
other fellows.
The Alliance fellows have been talk
ing all along that the nomination Is
conceded to them. Some Canton pol
iticians have said as much, IL they will
only agree upon some one good man.
Each one Of the quintet considers

THREW UP HIS HANDS
AND CAST GUN ASIDE

He told OF shooting after the man, of
the latter's acting queer when the first
shot was fired, and how he turned and
threw up his hands, throwing the gun
away at the same time.
He continued the story as narrated by
the previous witness. He said the de
fcndant was about quarter OF a mile
away when the first rifle shot was fired.
Attorney Wines cross examined the WIT
ness briefly He seemed to attempt to
elicit from him description of the ap-
pearancc of the accused when witness
fired the rifle shot at him.
]. II. Macmillan, city editor Of the
Anaconda Standard, was called to the
stand lie testified that he went to the
county Jail where McGcary was confined
the afternoon of July 10. lie asked the
defendant If he would permit him to get
a picture. McGeary said he did not care
to let him have the picture at first, but
gave it later. He said the prisoner was
visiby affected, had tears in his eyes and
shifted his gaze continually while the in
tciyiew continued.
lie asked him then why he killed Mr..
Evans. The prisoner told him about the
patent he had asked the superintendent to
adopt, of the latter's refusing and of his
refusing to talk to the prisoner about it.

IMPOSSIBLE TO OUTLINE
Mature Of TIE DEFENSE

Thus far the witnesses examined have
been mostly for the state, SO that it is
impossible to outline the nature of the
defense. From the cross examination by
McGearys attorneys it is not difficult 10,
those who have been following the case
closely to surmise that his counsel will en-
deavor to get him off on the plea of in
sanity. This at least is apparent, that the
defendants attorneys are examining
the witnesses not so much with a view to
impeaching their testimony concerning the
actions of the accused man as to elicit
information regarding his attitude and
demeanor at the time of and prior to the
occurrence.
Attorney Wines, who did most of the
cross-examination, took pains to ask each
witness what the appearance of the witness
was at the time of the shooting and before
1t; whether he looked excited what inn
pressions they received from seeing him.

ILLUSTRATE POSITION
OF M'GEARY AT TIME

Occasionally the county attorney asked
the witnesses to take the gun with which
the deed is alleged to have been commit
ted and illustrate to the jury the position
OF the prisoner during the occurrence. AS
the witnesses raised the weapon to illus
trate, McGeary invariably followed the mo-
ton and seemed to study closely the de-
scription on that memorable day.
Most of the testimony was given by
eye-witnesses, and was in line with the
story as it is generally known. Twice the
attorneys for the defense elected testimony
of peculiar interest. They dwelt with en-
phasis on the statement Of Witness Nc
MILAN that McGeary had told him there
was something behind the action which
he would not state, and OF Under Sheriff
Dave Morgan, that the accused man said
he was driven to it and that his life had
been endangered through the stupidity OF
the deceased.
Archie Jette vas the first witness called
to the stand this morning. Jettc stated
that he was a foreman at the works. He
was standing about so feet away from the
scene of the tragedy that morning.
