A CONTRASTING DELEGATION.
Goes to Helena-Same Old Johns An
ti-Johns Party Split.

ti-Johns Party Split.
II appears that the row between
the two factions Of the Fergus county
Democracy was 10y no means healed
when the county convention complet-
ed its labors on The Bird inst, for as
a result of the fight which then en-.
sued over the Uamins of delegates.
will have at Least two Fergus county
disputes to settle.
The contestants are Walter Knight
and Tom Stout for the seat of b
Gray. regularly named delegate from
Utica, and l.. S. Butler and some 9th.
er anti-Johns man. whose identity we
have not learned. for the seal of an.
other delegate.
To understand the present scrap il
will be necessary TO go into some par
ticulars of the county convention
When state delegates were named
by the delegations present from the
precincts TO which state delegates had
been assigned, il was desired that al
ternate delegates also ne named. In
some cases this was done, but in 9th.
ers, that of Utica in particular, no
a%lternates were named B. Gray, OF
Utica, named by the delegation from
Utica, as one OF the state delegates,
could not go TO Helena and Sunday
last Mr.. Gray attempted, through Il.
o. Busenburg. who was chairman of
the convention, to name his own alter
nate in the person of Tom Stout, who
very much desired 10 go as a delegate
in order to plead his cause before
the state committee. To this the
Johns people demurred and the men
who were delegates from Utica to the
county convention, attempted through
NJ. ID. Kimball, who was secretary of
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1904-09-14

the county convention, to name Wal
Ter Knight as alternate for B.. Gray.
The fight waNed fierce Sunday night,
Mr.. Busenburg declining to sign Gre
dentials with Walter Knights name
attached. and also that of l.. s. But
Ter, as alternate for some other dele
gate who could not attend. while Mr..
Kimball would not sign those desired
by Busenburg. No agreement was
reached and the dispute was contin-
ued until the credentials committee
of the state convention should deter
mine the right of the matter.
IL also appears that although w.
f. Cort is presumed 20 he en- route
to California to reside permanently,
that the Johns faction want to elect
him as county chairman, while the
a%nti-Johns people want Ralston Of
Kendall named.
The factional fight promises to be
continued until the votes are counted
on the Sth of November.

By the Oklahoma City High
School after a Hardfought
Battle.

The Chickasha high school boys
went down in defeat Wednes day
before the superior plying of the
Oklahoma City nine.
However the victory as won by
the visiting team was not one cal
culated to make them feel that
they are the only players on earth
for the way the chiekasha boys
picked up after the third inning
showed that they were ''there with
the goods" when it comes to play
ing Americas national game.
The direct cause Of the home
team losing was the fact that they
got of on the wrong foo" at the
very beginning Of the game over
confidence in their ability resulted
in the visiting team getting in sew
.eral scores which won the game
for them.
While a number Of errors were
made Oh either side, taking it as a
whole the game was spicy and quick
from start to finish. The score
stood 10 to III at the close, in
favor Of Oklahoma City.
The visiting boys are a nice
set Of fellows and were very
courteous to their opponents.
With small amount of practice
our home team can easily defeat
their competitors of Wednesday.

Makes New Departure in Wedding
Etiquette - Publicly Denounces
Enemies.

Sioux City, April 30.--Rev. j. C.
Lemon, pastor of the Christian church
at Eldora, formerly pastor of the Gen.
trail Christian church of Sioux City, Is
spending his honeymoon with relatives
near Sioux City. after most remark
able wedding at Akron, Wednesday,
with handsome Pearl Sullivan. one Of
his former Pensioners.
The wedding ceremony was perform
ed in the Akron opera house by JUS
tice w. T. Kidd, before a big audience,
and as soon as the nuptial knot was
tied. the ministerial groom stepped in
front Of the footlightS and in bitterest
tones denounced all his enemies in
Akron, where he was pastor before ac-
cepting charge at Edora.
Early In the week. the preacher re-
turned to Akron to claim his bride.
There had been considerable talk in
the town over the approaching mar
rage. and threats against the preach

fered. The opera house was packed
on the afternoon OF the wedding. The

the fireworks came later, when Mr..

casm was directed against we'll
known widow OF Akron, who plays the
role of "the girl with the green eyes"
The minister credited to jealously the
stories she had been spreading about
the town in regard to him. He called
small boy to the stage, and, giving
him q coin, said: Young man, YOU
can take this money to Mrs. So-and-So
and tell her she can go and buy q

most thunderous applause from the
audience.

special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, April 30.-The recent death
of Mag Johnson Hamilton Clark, and
certain alleged disclosures connected
ltherewith, purporting to exonerate the
Rainsbarger boys from any part in the
murder of Enoch Johnson, some TWEEN
ty years ago, have caused considerable
comment in this section Of Iowa. The
stories were to the effect that the
Rainsbargers had nothing to do with
the murder OF johnson. Also that Mrs
Rolla Clark at the time of the decease
of her mother, in a passion of grief
and remorse, talked Of all kinds OF
murder, burglary. arson etc. Mrs.
Nettie Johnson Haley was in this city
yesterday with Mrs. Rolla Clark. who
went before an attorney and made the
following statement:
Her daughter was with her constant
|ly and would have known mad any such
statements been made. There was no
reason for her talking of the matter
while she was SICK and there was no
one there with whom she would have
discussed the subject, AMI the state
ments she is reported to have made
are wholly unlike anything she would
say under any circumstances She was
concerned chiefly for the welfare OF her
daughter and with her own sufferings.
The story is altogether without any
foundation, in fact, and II IS unfortun-
ate that it should have been started,
Mrs. Margaret Clark was reported
to have made some statements before
her DEATH generating the Rainsbarg-
ers from the murder of her first hus-
band, Enoch Johnson. We have 1t upon
the authority Of her daughter, Effle.
now Mrs. RolIa Clark. that the rumor
is without foundation. The last time
she talked OF the matter at all, was
when she was yet we'll. when her at
tention was called to the efforts to
procure /. pardon for the Rainsbarg
ers, early in the winter. She did not
talk Of 1t at all during her sickness,
when she suffered intensely. She was
concerned about wholly different
things"

ED FULLER MISSING.
Farmer Near Belle Plains Has Disap

Special to Times Republican.
Belle PLANE, April 30.--Ed Fuller, a
man Of about so years Of age. has dis
appeared from Belle PLANE and his rel
atives and friends are s,lspecting foul
play. He has absent fer two weeks
without giving any word as to where
he is located, and a week ago last
Monday Mr.. Fuller intended to go to
South Dakota and take up claim.
He had made arrangements to leave
on the midnight train and had told
his brother law F. Z. McCurdy with
whom he boarded that he would be
home for supper Monday evening. He
did not appear, however. and has not
been seen since o'clock that evening.
No tickets were sold for the trip he

some plan might be devised for hav-
ing the passes hedged about to proven;
abuse.
1.-The real trouble in the whole matter
lies with the desire of the stockmen
to all ship on one day or two days
week The commission men and buy
ers encourage this. The result is that
there is congestion in the yards. For
instance last Monday our railroad had
500 cars on the track going into Chi
cago. You can easily see the impos-
sibility OF satisfying every one of the
shippers in the matter of getting his
cars in first The matter of time of
trains is of more Importance and
more difficulty than that Of the re-
turn passes.
What will be done in regard to
passes I think he continued, is to
provide that they shall be given with
shipments of stock other than hogs,
and shall be made SO that they cannot
be sold or transferred. There IS little
demand for passes with shipments OF
hogs as few of the breeders Of hogs go
to market with them. With cattle and
horses and sheep 1t is different. And
the railroads viii make no objection to
transporting actual shippers free with
their shipments. There has not been
at any time a particle of doubt that
the railroads would do the right thing
and satisfy everybody, but we feel that
the stock men have been a little un-
fortunate in their spokesman and In
having some persons connected with
their organization who are agitatoss
and want to make trouble rather than
to get results"
