BAIL WAS
NOT REDUCED.

The Whitewater people did not sue
Sweeney that the bail bond of W. T.
Downing should be reduced from
81, 800 to So, 900. They seemed to think
that all they had to do was to ask
that this be done and that it would
be done but they found out different
ly. They also wanted to sign the
bond. each of them for $500, and have
it written in the text of the bond that
this amount was all that each individ-
ual signatory was liable for.
The position taken by Assistant
District Attorney Sternberg was that
any number could sign to make up
the aggregate of the bond but that
each one was singly responsible for
the bond in the case of the default OF
the others. Upon this question they
hesitated.
They did not desire to sign the
bond and be liable in case of the de-
fault of any one of their number for
any amount to exceed the $500 that
they had signed for.
In his contention Mr.. Strenberg il
generally upheld by the legal fratern-
ity, with the exception of Judge Gas
we'll, who takes the position that the
signers of the bond are only responsi.
BILE for the amount for which they
qualify.

ant little excursion that they had ar
ranged for themselves over Sunday.
Mr.. Seegmiller had business at the
company's mill on the top of Pinon
Mesa, and invited Mr.. Loyns to ac-
company him. The invitation was
accepted, and they started from here
Saturday night.
Before they had gotten very far up
the side of the mountain they en-
countered a snow storm and the
weather got so cold that they were al
most numbed. The night became
awfully dark and in order to keep the
road Mr.. Seegmiller was compelled to
get out and lead the horses. They
finally found shelter for the night,
but rot before experiencing some con-
siderable discomfort. They arrived
home yesterday, after coming part of
the way through seven inches of snow,
with the wind blowing hard and cold
in their faces. This was Mr.. Lyons
first experience ON the side of a noun
tain and he believes he has had real
bit of western life in that trip up on

May SUPPORT
ROOSEVELT.


ha World Herald, edited by R. l..
Metcalf, the closest political friend of
w. ]. Bryan has in the West today,
published three column editorial
serving notice that if the reorganizers
of the Democratic party obtain con-
troll, the Bryan wing will support
Roosevelt for president in the next
campaign.
1t confesses that ex-President Harri-
son was a great and pure man, that
the democrats were deceived about
him at first, that he was defeated by
corporations and that the same infiu-
ences are now undermining Roosevelt
and trying to elevate Grover Cleve-
land.
The same paper will publish tomor-
row morning a letter sent by Metcalf
to Norman E. Mack, editor of the
Buffalo Times and New York's mem
ber of the democratic national COM
mittee, which is regarded as Bryan s
ultimatum for peace or war with
Cleveland or the Eastern forces of the
democratic party. The letter is be-
lieved to be destined to become the
guage of battle between the Bryan
supporters and those of Grover Cleve-
land, or bring peace between these
forces.
IL is anticipated that Mack will not
reply to the letter without consulting
with Cleveland and his leaders and
that his reply will be taken by Bryan
as the ultimatum of the followers of
the former president, just as this let
ter is unquestionahly the ultimatum
of Bryan declaring his firm adherence
to the principles enunciated in the
Kansas City platform.
Many prominent Bryan democrats
| for the last year have limited that they
would support Roosevelt rather than
Cleveland. The letter of Metcalf to
Mack is in answer to the latter's re-
cent editorial ON Harmony. Met
calf adroitly pretends to seek for har-
mony, but he reviews each plank of
the Kansas City platform and indi-
Gates that the Bryan wing will not
submit to the elimination of any one
of them, saying:
1T must be apparent to everyone
that no genuine progress has been
made in the so-cslled effort at har-
monizing the democratic party. re-
spectfully ask you to present for the
| benefit of democrats generally and in
| the interest of genuine harmony an
outline of what the democratic plat
form should be in order that it may
not incur the hostility of Cleveland
and his followers
Coming as it does from man SC
closely identified with Bryan. indeed
one OF Bryan's editorial writers ON the
Commoner. and unquestionably writ
ten after a conference with Bryan, the
letter cannot be looked upon in any
other light than AS Bryan's challenge
to Mack to take up the cudgel of argu.
ment and settle whether the party
shall amalgamate or continue divided
against itself

MONEY WAS @
RESTORED
Lloyd Austin Confessed Clayton Rob-
berry = Gave Back
Money.
s1Oo Was Not NAILED TO DOOR.

Marshal Bour went to Marlboro
township Tuesday to arrest Lloyd
Austin, accused of being one of tho
parties who robbed Vernon Clayton
of 800 recently.
The story is now, that instead OF
the money being tackled TO the gram
ary door, Austin took it back to Clay
ton and confessed that he was one OF
the parties to the robbery, but re-
fused to tell who his confederate was.
Clayton signed statement for Austin
setting forth the fact that he had re-
turned the money. An effort was
made to keep the matter secret, but
parties who wanted the $500 reward
offered by the commissioners insist
ed upon the arrest.
1t is claimed that Austin was sus-
pected from the start and it wae
known that he was one of the guilty
parties before the people insisted up
on a reward. Some of the parties, i,
is said, who urged that the reward
be given, are about to claim a share
of it.
Austin is said to have always borne
good reputation. He is married and
well to do, and a great deal of sur
prise is manifested in the community.
