ADDRESS OF LoYALIsrs.
Cum mberiand PreshyteriaBs Who Ar
 Opposrd fo Church Union.

Cumberland PreahytertaBs Who Arc
 Opposed to Church Union.
 Nashville, Tenn. Jan. f3.--The exec utive committee of the loyal Cumber- land Presbyterian council, oposing un- ion with the northern Presbyterian church. has issued an address to mem bers of the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination. The address declares there are 100000 or more of the loyal ists "Who stand as firm as are the principles upon which their church fabric is based. and win preserve the same with that degree of intensity with which they would defend their own lives or home altars."
 The address says the Ioyalists do not deny the right of any men to change his creed and continuing, says: But we do most emphatically deny the right to takc one brick or shingle being held by the Cumberland Presby- terian church in trust for the promul- gation of the doctrines of the Cumber- land Presbyterian church."
 In conclusion the address says:
 Loyal Cumberland Presbyterians deeply regret they are forced to enter the field of strife and war to the last ditch for more sacred rights and the perpetuation of their beloved church and deplore the spirit which originated the plan under the direction of the only home of the loyal adherents to the principles of the Cumberland Pres byterian church. Yet. with no uncer- tain sound do loyalists' declare their fixedness of purpose with all necessary preparation to hold intact their present church organization together with all belongings regardless of the blast of the union trumpet.

Place of Trial.

HELENA, Mont, April 1.-Charles
Davlin, who was arrested for the al
legged murder of James Rutherford in
the BIackfoot Indian reservation. is Ell
route to Teton County, where he was
tried under State laws. Davlin depart
ed last evening on his own recogni-
zance, although a Teton County deputy
sheriff was on the same train.
Davlin was released under a writ of
habeas corpus by United States Judge
Hunt yesterday, who held that the case
was one of State rather than national
jurisdiction, neither the accused nor his
victim having tribal relations. Judge
Hunt directed that he be turned over
to the State authorities. The Sheriff
of Teton County has been apprised of
the probable outcome Of the matter by
United States Attorney Carl Rasch. and
had sent a deputy here, but the Sheriff
telephoned Sheriff Scharrenbroich to al
low Davlin to- come on his own recog-
nizance, he being under a $500 bond
The deputy and Davlin therefore de-
parted on the same train last evening
for Choteau.
