charged with immortality and corrup-
ton in connection with his decision

trial, the story being told at the trial
of Arthur j. Shores, chief attorney of
the Ama!gamatcd Copper company, IN
the disbarment proceedings instituaea
by Mir. Harvey.
Harvey said Clark claimed he and
his father were interested in the mat
ter because OF their desire to crush
Heinze, who had become a political
upstart and was trying to take Scna-
tor Clark's place as leader in Montana.
Young Clark then told Harvey, accord
ing to the latter's testimony, that the
Amalgamated people had evidence

and send him to the penitentiary, and
that he would be arrested the follow
ing morning unless he consented to
make statement admitting that he
had been bribed, resign his position on
the bench and leave the country. He
said he had been authorized by Shores
to offer him 100000 for doing SO. The
price was finally raised to s250,000,

made by a witness he was examining
at an inquest over a man killed by a
trolley car recently.
The coroner asked the witness, who
had testified that he was standing
near the car:
Did you see this man killed."

THREATS OF SUMMARY VEN.
cEANCE AGAINST TlLLMAN
ARE HEARD.

Columbia, S. c.. Jan. IL. - In the
very shadow of the South Carolina
state house Lieut.. Gov. James Fl. Till
man Yesterday afternoon shot and
seriously wounded Narcissus Generi
Gonzales, editor of the State, news
naper that has bitterly opposed Lieut..
Gov. Tillman in politics. The two
men have been sworn enemies and
Tillman's animosity was accumulated
NV Gonzales opposition to his candi.
dacy for governor last fall. In that
campaign Gonzales made editorial
reference to Tillman as ''liar, scoun-
drel and debauchee." A challenge to
duel followed, but Gonzales ignored
it.
It is rumored that the immediate
cause for the attack was message
set Wednesday by Gonzales to Till
man. Wednesday night at the Column
bia hotel Lieut.. Gov. Tillnlan said to q
group of his friends:
Gonzales has sent me word that
when we meet again we shall settle
our differences with pistols"
Sent No Message.
Gonzales friends deny that he sent
a message of any character to Till
man.
Statements of the eye witnesses to
the tragedy are somewhat conflicting,
and it cannot be stated positively
whether or not any words passed be-
tween the men before the shot was
fired. Tillman was arrested and con-
fined in the county Jail pending the
outcome of Gonzales injuries. The
affair caused great excitement in the
city, which is filled with politicians,
who are here to participate in the in
auguration of the new state govern
nlent.
Lieut.. Gov. Tillman's term will ex-
pire in few days. Some expressions
of desire for summary vengeance
we're heard on the streets after the
shooting, but nothing of a serious
character occurred.
Surgeons performed an operation
upon Gonzales at the city hospital late
in the afternoon. The operation was
regarded as successful, but in the
judgment of the physicians the wound
ed man has only
One Chance in Five
to live. His constitution and habits Of
life, however, are stated to be greatly
in his favor The wound is an ugly
one, the liver and intestines being
punctured.
In a statement before the operation
Mr. Gonzales made it plain that he
sought no difficulty, that to avoid a
collision with Tillman, who was walk
ing with two senators, he cut across
the pavement and passed by without
touching or speaking, and that Till
man pulled his pistol and fired. Con
zales then spoke to Tillman and told
him to shoot again, you coward"
Gonzales said he saw Tillman two
days before and Tillman saw him. AS
to sending any message to Tillman he
said he had not done so. And he was
positive Tillman fired before he said a
word.

The American drake and the Chinese
drake are two of the handsomest birds
known to natural history. They are re-
splendent in gay plumage and form a
pretty picture as they glide gracefully over
the surface Of the pond, surrounded by
foliage and bright spring flowers. The
head of the drake is covered by hood of
shining blue and green. which he raises
and lowers at will. He has mottled yellow
sides and his back is covered with glisten-

being striped with white. American blue,
however. is the prevailing color.
