DENNY AND M'GAHEY
.... WON AT WILLISTON

I Williston, N. D., Oct. 1o.-Boeh
Banker w. H. Denny and A. McGahey
have been discharged from custody, af-
ter hearing in which they were charg-
ed with having purchased stolen hors-
es. Denny was arrested after the
finding OF letter on the body of a
dead horse thief. This letter was al
legged to have been written by Denny to
the thief in regard to horses to be de-
livered to the Williston man. After
the testimony was given John Burke,
attorney for the defense, made mas
.terly plea for his dismissal, and Mayor
r., r. Purcell made strong argument
for conviction. : After due deliberation
Judge Leon Hardy decided that there
was insufficient evidence to bind Mr..
Denny over to the district court and
he was at once released
The court felt that the Montana
authorities produced very little evi-
dence, it any at all, compared with
the great claims they made before the
trial begun. The evidence was all
purely circumstantial. The alleged
letter which purported to contain so
much was evidently written on the
Great Northern hotel stationery here
at Williston. ,&T II
It was also evident that the Mon
tana authorities did not produce all
OF the evidence that they expected to,
as they had caught wind OF the fact
that they were liable themselves to
certain criminal actions If they pro-
.ceeded beyond the circumstantial evil
dence.

PRESIDENT TO GET
DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT

Washington, Oct. Io.-Great inter-
est is manifested in the forthcoming
speeches of President Roosevelt III his
whirlwind trip through the south.
Il Is generally understood that he
viii receive as great, and probably
greater ovation than was ever tender
ed Grover Cleveland, the only demo-
crat president since the war OF the re-
bellion.
The president, however, IS not out
on a pleasure trip merely. He is after
game and the biggest kind Of game at
that.
Ii is well understood that Mr.. Roose-5
welt expects TO have democratic sup
port IN his railroad rate legislation cam
|paign.
He had ii in the house OF represer-
tatives last session, but since the Esch-
Townsend bill the big railroad interests
have been working industriously in the
south: 4
They have worked public opinion.
with the politicians, with business in
terests and with every force that could
be reached and they have turned the
tide, or at least stenmed il.
They have divided the republicans
and have put ramrods in the back
bones Of many Of their shaky adher-
'eTlts.
They have made il appear very plain
" that there are two sides to the flues-
.tion and the railroads are not alone III
opposition to proposed legislation.
All summer there has been acctri,i-
slating evidence that this policy was
producing results, il, both the west and
south. ss .s
Nobody realizes better than the men
who for years have been fighting for
legislation that they have not all the
ground they had gained last winter.
But the president is strong iii the
south personally and politically
Il He wants support there and is consi-
dent that his case, properly stated and
fairly understood viii win him sup
port.
This, il the opinion OF very many
people, is the explanation OF his trip.

COUNTERPART FOR
MENTOR DISASTER
Westbound Twentieth Century
Limited Barely Escaped
Being Wrecked.
Switch Which Caused Eastbound
Flyer to Leave Rails Opened
for Revenge.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
La Porte, Ind, June 23.-It has just
leaked out that the west-bound Twen-
tieth Century Limited yesterday mar
rowly escaped disaster similar to the
one which destroyed the east-bound
limited at Mentor, Ohio.
AS the west-bound train came in
sight at this point, F. II. Kirkwood,
switchman, glancing down the track to-
ward the Grooming flyer, saw that
Kirkwood raced for the switch and
closed it. A fraction of minute later
the limited sped by in safety at sixty
mlle-an-hcur speed.
The limited was minute or two late.
This fact alone saved it from a fear
full disaster, for the switch closed by
Kirkwood in the nick of time led to
siding occupied by string Of heavily
loaded freight cars.
No one knows who is responsible for
the open switch and the Lake Shore
officials have ordered searching in
vestigation.
The fact that the west-bound TWEEN
tieth Century Limited narrowly escaped
| a wreck under circumstances which du-
plicate the causes Of the wreck at Men
tor lead some to believe that DELHI
crate attempt was made to. wreck both
| trains
This theory is supported, some think,
by the similarity Of the circumstances.
Railroad men here, however, scout the
that some switchman or section hand
carelessly left the switch open. A
freight train, it is recalled, had been
sidetracked short time before the linn
tied was due. in order to give the fast
train a clear track.

ENGINEER S 5. RUSE
SAVES HIS TRAIN
North Coast Limited from Twin
Cities Is Stopped by Lone
Bandit.

Tacoma, Wash, June 23.Train rob-
bers made an unsuccessful attempt to
hold up the North Coast Limited from
the twin cities early today.
A man boarded the train at Puyallup
and when the train was three miles
west of the station, ordered the en-
gineer to stop at q fire which was burn
ing near the tracks. Engineer Woods
did not stop the train until half mile
beyond the fire.
Brakeman Harkins ran up to the en-
CINE to see what the trouble was, and
The bandit shot at him. Harkins threw
his lantern into the ditch and started
back for the train.
The bandit then ordered the engineer
and the conductor to get out of the
way while he made an attempt to back
the train to the fire, where his confed-
crates were standing. He failed to start
the engine, and called2for the engineer
to come back.
The robber then began to realize his
position, and as the engineer stepped
into the cab he fred two shots, one bull
let flattening on the boiler-head. The
bandit then jumped to the ground and
ran into the brush.
The train was pulled into Tacoma,
leaving the fireman and a brakeman
behind, as they were unable to catch it.
An engine was sent out for them and
| they were brought in this morning.

WORLD ARRAIGNs ROOSEVELT
Declares He Has Committed One of His
Gravest Blunders.

:, New York, June 23.-The World, I'M
ton Mistake,' says editorially today: W.
After his embarrassing of Paul Morton
President Roosevelt will find it hard to
regain his old reputation for right think
Ing and fearless action. A Quay, a Platt
or Murphy in his place could not have
shown grosser discrimination in favor of
a personal friend. Here is a prominent
railroad official who has frequently con-
fessed to violating the interstate COM
merce laws. He is promoted to the cab
met. Further evidence of his guilt Is dis
covered. He IS a close friend of Mr..
Roosevelt, and Mr.. Roosevelt forbids his
prosecution. Better lawyers than Mr..
Roosevelt find ample grounds for action
against Mr.. Morton and other Santa Fe
officials. Their motives are known to- be
disinterested and above suspicion. But
Mr. Roosevelt, with executive not with
Judiciary powers, declares his friend Mr.
Morton innocent and prevents the courts
from hearing his case. The coddling of
LOOMS was an unfortunate mistake, but
the protection of Paul Morton takes or
some fthe aspects Of national scandal
In every railroad headquarters in the
country there will be rejoicing To save
Paul Morton from the necessity of defend
ing himself Mr. Roosevelt has practically
issued a general amnesty to all railroad
lawbreakers. Personal guilt is abol
1shed Only corporations can sin, ant
Tor them the penalty is a trifiing fine. II
order that Paul Morton may go scot fire,
Mr.. Roosevelt makes dead letter of tn
statute.
President Roosevelt has deliberately an,
with set purpose committed one Of tn
eravest blunders of his administration.

Berlin, June 23.-The French note on
the proposed Moroccan conference was
handed to the foreign office this morn
ing. The foreign office admits that it
leaves the situation where it was be-
fore. The points Of disagreement be-
tween Germany and France have not
been removed, and it is expected that
the negotiations will continue for a
long time.
While the delay might, under or
binary circumstances, be Of advantage
in affording time for the excitement to
subside, German government circles
note with some concern that powerful
intrigues are going on, having for their
object war between Germany and
France. Germany g intentions remain
thoroly pacific, but government circles
here apprehend the possibility that
these intrigues will result in infaming
the French people against Germany and
creating a delicate and complicated sit
uation.
