THE CAMPBELL CASE.

Great interest was manifested in Rich
mond yesterday in the argument in the
Campbell investigation, and the hall of
the House of Delegates was crowded.
Judge J. Thompson Brown led off for
the prosecution. He confined himself
to the matter of the assault, making a
clear, concise and forcible presentation of
the case. He likened Judge Campbell
to DR.. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Hedeclared
that the evidence justified what DR.. Craw-
ford wrote. Under the circumstances.
no man would have apologized, he said
He leaned toward the committee, lowered
his voice and continued:
"You yould see him in the bottomless
pits of hell before you would apologize. "
There was buzz and stir for few
minutes, and then Judge Loving spoke.
He was far from well, and his PHYSICAL
condition was plainly shown in his face
He also reviewed in scathing terms the
assault on DR.. Crawford and the circum-
stances leading up to it. JudgeLoving
paid his respects to the "medicated
liquor" in Days drug store, and under
took to show from the record that there
was collision between Campbell and Day
as a vindication of Crawford's publica-
ton.
Major Conrad started his three hours
speech at 1925 o'clock, and was not
more than half through when the COM
mittee adjourned for dinner. The most
intense interest followed his words, and
many times his keen shafts ofwit, sharp
ened twice over with refined sarcasm,
created a laugh at the expense of his OPP
ponents, the complainant citizens of Am
herst or the witnesses.
Maj Conrad said counto judgy was
not like an appellate judge. He did not
carry the dignity of his Office with him
except when on the bench Offthe bench.
he was only private citizens. No mat
ter how vile or corrupt his life was off
the bench, he said, the committee had
no right to inquire. They were only 10

Mr.. Strobe concluded for the prosecu-
ton after which it was announced that
the committee would meet at 3 o'clock
this afternoon and take vote to decide
who fayors and who opposes Campbell.

THE MOST Ubiquitous act so lar COM
mitted by the republicans in the House
Of the Fifty-seventh Congress was the
unseating yesterday evening of Mr..
Butler. a democrat from Missouri, and
the giving of the seat to Mr. Wagner.
This was done by an utter disregard OF
right and justice by the majority and In
riding rough-shod over the democratic
minority. The republicans had the
power to perpetrate the wrong and they
simply exercised ii, as they had done In
other Congresses. AT the first session OF
this Congress Mr. Buffers seat was de-
clared vacant. Butler ran again and
was elected Wagner contested. The
elections committee, consisting OF six
republicans and three democrats, re-
ported in favor of seating the republican.
The report was brought in only on
Wednesay. The democrats opposed the
seating of Wagner, chiefly because they
did not think the case had been con-
sidered. The testimony consisted of
three thousand large typewriter pages.
Not single member of the committee,
either democrat or republican, professed
to have read it. Not member OF the
House. not on the committee, had even
seen it. All ofthis was stated by the demo-
Gratis and admitted by the republicans,
who turned deaf ears to all entreaties
for Justice and right and ousted Mr.
Butler without even giving him a hear

Great Britain storm Bound.

London Feb. 27.-The storm which
has been sweeping over Great Britain
and its coasts for the past FIVE days,
reached terrific height last evening.
1t was especially severe in the provinces
where great havoc was wrought to proper
ty. The financial loss will be great.
Many of the outlying counties have been
entirely cut off from telegraph communi-
cation with London. Many Of the land
wires from London to the coast have been
levelled and cable communication with
America is badly delayed. Along the
coast, especially in the southwestern
part of Ireland, the gale yesterday and
last night was so severe that shippers
were afraid to send their vessels from
port, and accordingly the marine inter-
ests have suffered severely. Reports re-
ceived today indicate considerable loss
of life in North Wales. In Lancashire
three mills near Blackburn were unroored.
A wild panic ensued among the opera
tiyes, but no casualties resulted. A life
boat at New Brighton today rescued the
crew of 32 of the British ship Fingal,
bound from Liverpool for Cardiff, which
had grounded in the Mersey. Telegraphic
communication with the continent is
badly delayed.
A cyclone struck Liverpool at 5 o'clock
this morning and scores of shop windows
were blown in. The Morecambe pier
extension was destroyed by the storm.
An empty schooner broke loose from its
mornings and drifted into the Mersey.
A dispatch from Manchester states that
one death and many injuries have been
caused by the storm in that city.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 81.


Washington, d. c., Feb. q.
The House committee on rules met
this morning to formulate plans for gov
erning the situation, and, as a result of
their deliberations, decided to report two
special rules, one providing that mo-
ton to recess shall take precedence over
Il motion to adjourn; the other "that it
shall be in order to take from the Speak
er's table any general appropriation bill
returned with Senate amendments, and
a vote shall be at once taken without
debate or intervening motion on the
question, will the House disagree to
said amendments en- bloc and ask con-
ference with the Senator If this motion
is decided in the affirmative the Speaker
shall at once appoint the conferees with
out the Intervention of any motion. If
the House shall decide said motion in
the negative, the effect of the vote shall
be. to agree to said amendments. Ger
tain republicans who are greatly in
terested in the fate of the omnibus pub
lie building bill returned from the Senate
and amended are reported to be ready to
join with the democrats in an attempt
TO incorporate the bill under the pro-
visions of the special rule above out
lined. Should these republicans be
unable to muster sufficient strength to
amend the rule in this manner, they
will support it as reported to the House.
The only precedent for continuous
session for so long a time as is now con-
templated occurred during the Fiftieth

The SENATE yesterday sanctioned
an appropriation of 5000, 900 for ex
Queen Liliuokalani in lieu of al
claims on the crown lands in Hawaii
which she lost through the interference
of the United States when, during re-
belion there, troops were landed from
an American man-of-war and assisted
the rebels in overthrowing the lawful
government of Hawaii BY this revolu-
ton the Queen lost nearly all her
worldly possessions, and but paltry
Justice was done by giving her 5000,
600. This country was certainly
responsible for her overthrow by which
she lost everything and could well af-
ford to pay 5000, 900 when it has al
ready collected $3.50, 600 in rents from
those same lands.

their vacation to it's utmost, but for
all that are glad to get back. Among
other things Mr.. B%ennighoff brought
back as mementoes of the journey
were several alligator" pears, a

tropics. The samples he has came
from Tahita. They are we'll named,
for in shape they resemble nothing
quite so much as the heads of

Action ON
G. e. Dickerman Sues John and Cath.
crime McFarlane.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Suit was begun in the district court
this afternoon by Harry l.. Wilson,
attorney for G. e. Dickerman, against
John McFarlane and his wife, Cath
crime McFarlane to %foreclose a mort
gage said to have been given by de-
PENDANTS to plaintiff to secure three
promissory notes, each dated Septem-
Der 6, 1901. Two Of the notes are for
$3.50, each, the first being due Septem-
Der Is, 1902, and the other September
6, 1903. The third note is for 81, 500
and natures September 6, 1906.
According to the terms of the mort
gage it is alleged, if at any tome de-
fault is made on either of the prin-
,cipals or interest thereon and the
same remains unpaid Is days after
becoming due, then it shall be at the
mortgages option whether to fore
close and consider all three notes and
interest as due. Plaintiff alleges that
iO NClC11uoAIo nave uOl llpllC
with the provisions of the mortgage
and have paid him anything,
except 500 as interest. Therefore
he decides to foreclose the mortgage
and demands judgment accordingly
for $4,000, less $500, interest paid, and
interest at the rate of 10 per cent per
annum or the three principals and
also asks the court to allow attorney
fees at the rate of 5 per cent of the
principal sums and accrued interest,
together with costs of court.
Lots Z and 8, block SO of the original
townsite of Billings are described as
the premises covered by the mortgage,

MONEY FOR WOODEN MILL HAS
BEEN RAISED.
KEEPS UP THE C0oD WORK
Committee Will Continue Soliciting
Subscriptions to Make Capital
OF Company Larger.

Al So far as the erection of a wooden
mill at Billings at ar early date is
concerned, it apparently now only re
mains to be seen whether the Cali.
~fornian with whom correspondence
has been had on the subject is pre-.
pared to make good"
Thanks to the prompt and energetic
efforts OF the Commercial committee
of the Billings club the sum of local
money that he asked to have invested
Jointly with the amount he expressed
willingness to put into such an en-
terprise has been raised. Last even
ing the soliciting committee appoint
ed to secure subscriptions to the cap
ital stock of the proposed company
reported that the $12,5 needed had
been pledged. Three of the parties
who originally signed for $1,000, each
informed the committee that they had
decided to take stock in double that
amount. This brought the total up to
the figure agreed upon when the move
.ment to secure subscriptions was in
Stituted.
The committee stated, however,
while this sum had been pledged 1t
was the intention not to stop soliciting
at this time. If possible $4,000 in ex-
cess of the capital of the proposed
company will be raised. This will be
done in order to insure a good work
ing fund above the amount that will
probably be required to erect and
equip the plant, as of necessity some
time will elapse before returns may be
expected. g,1-
Further communication will now be
had with the gentleman at the other
end of the proposition and if he is
still favorably inclined his presence
here may be expected shortly. Should
it turn out that he either cannot or
will not become identified with the
project, the money subscribed will be
kept as a fund to be invested by the
people Of the city in a company that
may be organized with other parties.
When it became known how we'll
the soliciting committee had succeed
ed much satisfaction was expressed on
all sides at the bright prospect ahead
for the establishment of an institution
which by every parity of reasoning it
is maintained should have found an
existence here long ago.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
News has been received from Lu-
verne, Mimi, that Chester Clegg,
who was arrested here on a warrant
from the Minnesota authorities on the
charge of embezzlement, has been &C
quilted. The information is contained
in a newspaper and states further that
it was proved on Cleggs' trial that the
money he was alleged to have stolen
had been taken by another employee
of the firm for which the accused had
been working Immediately prior to his
coming to Billings.
Clegg is now suing his late prose-
cutors for $4,000 damages for false
arrest and Imprisonment
When he left here, it will be re-
membered, the young man declared
that he was innocent and the victim
of a plot Matched up against him to
save another man, one who had been
working with him in the store of the
company that caused his arrest. This
statement was in part corroborated
by the sheriff who came after him,
and who, while be did not care to
talk much, intimated that something
would happen" upon the trial of Clegg.
He had so much confidence in the in
nocence of his prisoner that he per-
mitted him to wander about the city
at his pleasure and when he left with
him placed him and his brother in
charge of another man whom he found
here and who was also wanted" for
making away with money belonging
to others and for mortgaging property
not his own.

There is great rejoicing in bowling
circles this morning. The men who
went to Sheridan yesterday to meet
a team of the cracks of that place re.
turned this morning with the scalps-
of their enemies dangling from their
belts. They demonstrated that Bill
ings can occasionally send a team
away from home that can win. It
must be admitted that some ragged
playing was done by both sides, but in
this respect the men from Wyoming
were a little worse than the visitors,
as a. glance at the score book will
show.
Tschudy, "old reliable was indis-
posed and while really sick, pluckily
stuck to it and played the entire series
OF five games. Richstein and Sails
bury alternated in several of the
games each giving way to the other
when he failed to keep up to his aver
age. Ovren vas high man." He
made 100, the highest score chalked
up in the series. Mullen, for Sheri-
dan, was next. with $50.
BY games the cores made were as
follows:
