of Darien, or Panama, connects Colombia with Costa
RIGA which is itself a part of the sthmus.
The republic of Panama, nation born last Tues
day at six O'Clock D. H. has geographical relation to
Colombia except as connecting link Politically it has
belonged to the American nation but its access to
Bogota capital of Colombia is difficult In fact its
geographical situation entities it to independence if it can

To get at merits of the controversy should look

part of the Ishmus metropolis is Colon deals with
the world by sea- while the southern metropolis the city

which they knew had been received at
the Laforge saloon before ii was closed

covered some fresh wagon tracks leading
up TO a stack of baled hay. On examining
the stack they saw where it had been
disturbed as some Of the bales looked
as though they had not long been exposed
TO the weather. So they procured some
iron prods and on sticking them into the
stack struck something hard. They then
made an opening and discovered two full
barrels of whisky, one half barrel, one
keg of applejack. and two cases Of bot
tied whisky in pints and half pints. One
of the barrels of whisky was the new
barrel they were searching for. so they
took the whole boiling and brought them

this occasion he had an engagement out

for the occasion. but when he came 70

Much interest attaches to the mass

it will not be known who the candi-

THE CRIBB CASE UP AGAIN.
Now Being Heard by the Board of
Pardons in Atlanta,

Atlanta. December 1.-The board of
pardons had up for consideration to
day an application for clemency for
Lee Cribb, of Coffee county, who is
under sentence to hang December Il
for the murder of Emmett White. a
small white boy 10 years of age.
Cribb is a young white man and
from the papers filed in the case. was
crazy drunk and under the influence
of some kind of drug on the day of
fhe homicide. While in this condit
ion, it is said, he entered a store with
a pistol in his hand and announced
that he proposed to clean out the en-
tire town before he left it He fired
one shot at man in the store, who
lodged first under the counter and
then beat hasty retreat out of a
side door and took to the woods, Cribb
then turned his gun on Marshal Hol-
ton who, it appears, is related to
Cribb. After firing two shots into
Holton and while aiming for a third
one, some friend of Holton shot Cribb
and he fell.
Later Cribb got up and. going into
the street, shot Emmett White, a
small boy who was driving a wagon
by the store, killing him almost in
stantIy.
1t is claimed that Crib was drunk.
but he denies having drank anything
but a bottle or two of a beverage
Inown as "ale" sold at the stores in
Nichols and said not to be intoxicat-
ing in its effect.
Among the records filed in the case
were letters stating that is was 0e-
lieved that Cribb was insane. as in
sanity ran in his family, while in other
letters it was stated that there was
nothing the matter with Cribb except
that he was a cold-booded murderer
and should he hung at 0nce.
Then there were petitions and COun-
ter petitions, the former asking that
the death sentence passed upon be
commuted to life imprisonment, and
the latter praying the commission not
to- allow Cribb's neck to escape from
the galiows.
The petitioner was represented by
Leon A. Wilson, Of Waycross, and
Quincy G. Mcdonald, of Douglas,
while the interests OF the state were
looked after by Solicitor General j.,
w. Bennett.

Extra Session Of the Leg
isiature was C0nVened
Yesterday
A STUBBORN FIGHT AHEAD
Fight Between Clark and DAILY a Few
=. Years Ago for the Senate Will
Be Nothing Compared with
the One Now in View.

Helena, Mont. December 1.-The ex-
traordinary session of the Montana
legislature which convened today. in
pursuance of the call issued three
weeks aso by Governor Toole is likely
to- be the arena for gladiatorial com
bat as fierce as and an intensely in
teresting as the session of several
years ago which witnessed the titanic
struggle between COPPER King Will
bam A. Clark and Marcus Daily for
seat in the United States senate. In
the present instance the results are
far more momentous than the case
of the struggle for the senatorship.
The future welfare and prosperity of
one entire and portions OF three 9TH
er states may lie said to depend upon
the action of the session. Arrayed
aginst one another in the gigantic
faint is f.. Augustus Hetn2e, oi Mont
ana Ore Purchasing Company, backed
by the independent copper men OF
three states, and the STANDARD Oil Co.
as represented by the Arnalgamated
Copper Company.
The aim of the session is to pass bill
whereby mining cases may be taken
from one court TO another when the
Judge in the initial court is shown
to be preiudieed. Other legislation
of ltke character has also been prom
ised. A so-called fair trial bill, of the
character now proposed, was passed
by the last legislature, but was de-
cided by the supreme court to be un-
constitutional on technical grounds.
The present situation is due to a
coup executed by t. Augustus Heinze.
president of the United Copper Com
pany and the arch enemy of the Anal
gamated interests. One Of his lieu
tenants, a young man named John
MacGinnis. was the owner Of a few
shares Of the Boston and Montana
Copper Company. He secured a de
cision from District Judge Clancy,
restraining the Boston and Montana
company from paying dividends to the
Anna lgamated, on the ground that it
is contrary to the laws of Montana
for one corporation to own stock in an
other corporation Furthermore, on
application he secured q decision
from judge CIany in which the latter
said he might at any tine appoint a
receiver for the Boston and Montana.
BY these decisions lhe Amalgamated
was badly. hampered. and the fair
trial bill being nuilifed by the SUI
preme court, it could not secure the
transfer Of the matter to another
