an election was being held, while
others, it seemed, did not take enough
interest in the proposition to visit the
polls.

the clerk and wanted to know If they

which a number Of persons were seri-
ously injured A caravan of wagons
without escort was attacked at The
corner Of Franklin and Madison
streets. Non-union drivers were arm

Serious trouble occurred at other
points and one negro narrowly es-
capped lynching by a mob.
The packers have delivered an ulti-
matum to their drivers that they
must either deliver goods to boycott
ted firms or suffer discharge, and
this means a spread of the strike to
the yards.

NAN HAD a BAD NIGHT

New York, April 29.-After a day
Of interesting developments both pro

Yesterday a motion to dismiss the
Indictment was ovsrruled by the
court.
The contention of the defense in
moving to take the case from jury
and 10 dismiss The Indictment was
that the conspiracy accusation charge
had been practically abandoned; that
the prosecution had failed to prove J
Morgan Smith bought the revolver
which caused Young's death: that
the case was circumstantial and the
testimony of Doctors O'Hanlon, Rig
gins and Phelps indicated suicide
rather than murder.
The prosecution replied that it
had proved the fact of the crime
that the case should so to the jury
on the character of the wound that
could not have been self-innicted:
had proved Smith was in Pawnbro-
kcT SteTh's shop the day the revolver
was bought, and that the prosecution
had not expected a pawnbroker to
make identiications. The court in
structed the jury that IN his opinion
The ruling on law points should not
