CARVING EXHIBITION BY FAITH
Goes After Herman and Gets into
His First Tr0uble-.Other Arrests

Faith Moore Is in trouble. Faith is a
c9lored man who never was in trouble
before. He was hireling of the Mil
Waukee at the live grading camp of
Straw. but for various reasons decid-
ed to cast his lot at Lewistown. He
had been in the city but few minutes
when he began to imbibe in liquid de-
coctions. Before he had gone far on
the path of hilarity, Marshal Burke
gave him gentle reminder to retire
and prepare to leave the city on the
morrow. Faith promised.
About two hours later the phone s
from the redlight district were calling
up the police. Night Watchman Her
man hurried down to investigate and
found that our colored friend was try
ing to force an entrance into a colored
dive on Janeaux street.
Herman ordered the defendant to de.
sist, which he very reluctantly did. AS
soon as the two went out into the
dark, Faith drew a big knife and went
aftsr the watchman. But before much
damage, further than the cutting OF
eloi n, was done, Faith was begging fo,
mercy, looking down a shining barrel

The greatest horse theft that has
been committed in the county in re-
cent years was the stealing Of AZ head

conclusive clues behind them, but they
may be apprehended before long, as
the authorities are not entirely in the
dark in regard to the matter
AS soon as the horses were taken out
Of the field they were driven out of the
country and none of them have been
located as yet.
The stockmen of Fergus county have
determined to rid this section Of all
horse thieves and also to mete out q
just punishment to the guilty ones.
TO that end $4,000 fund has been set
aside as a permanent amount to be
used for the protection of their prop

offered as a reward for the return to
Mr.. Winnette Of the horses stolen ear

$500 each for the arrest and conviction
Of any person guilty of the larceny of
any horse or horses in Fergus county,
is offered by the stockmen's associa-
ton.

The women in the country do lot

son and TOO often wreck the health
Of these faithful and accomplishing
women A little break now and then
in this dreary and deSolate monotony
would serve TO brace the nerves and
tighten the load. An evening each
week spent in the company of other
toilers, and a pleasant interchange OF
experiences would work wonders N

The mixup over the election advertising
took another turn yesterday when william

Board OF Elections had been served so far
with the mandamus Of Supreme Court JUS
tioe Greenbaum, directing them to recon-
vene and select for election advertising
purposes only such Democratic news
papersa AZ are supporting William Randolph

order by Lawyer Hess, who is representing
the Daily Neis and the Hearst papers.
The other two members, Dady and Mcguire,
went out Of town on Saturday. Without
a quorum h board can do nothing.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Butts asked
Justice Greenbaum yesterday to grant a
rehearing in the case, and several Of the
newspapers interested joined in the appl-
cation. The lawyers told Justice Green
baum that they believed they could induce
him to change his opinion II he would let
them reargue the application Of Mr.. Hess
for a mandamus.
Justice Greenbaum postponed the ap-
pIcation for a rehearing until he wasthrough
with the days business, and then informed
the assembled lawyers that he had received
word from the Corporation CounSel's Office
the motion for a rehearing was with
dtawn, as It was planned to appeal from
hiE mandamus order.
Mr.. Ellison's appointment as Corporation
Counsel had changed Mr.. Butts's plans.

o. r. FranOhOt Nominated for State Ssna-
tor ON the A66uh Ballot.

L~ooHRoRT. N. Y. Oct. s.-Stanislaus p.
Franchot Of Niagara Falls was nominated
in the Republican Forty-seventh Senate
district convention here this afternoon at
4:2S O'Clock. George w. Bennett Of Eagle
Hsrbor, Orleans county, broke away from
his fellow county men in their stand for
Irving L'Hommedieu and voted for Fran
chot. Twenty minutes later a special
train left Lockport for Albany with the
certificate Of nomination, which must be
filed with the Secretary Of State before
midnight.
The convention had been in session since
October 1, deadlocked, the seven dele
gates from Niagara county standing for
Franchot and the seven from Orleans
county standing for L'Hommedieu. II was
on the 4eeth ballot that Bennett switched.
There was a most tumultuous scene in
the convention hall when he deserted the
L'Hommedieu standard. On the 4o5th
ballot Bennett had faltered, but when the
Orleans men roared to him to stick to his
colors he explained. faltering, that he had
not understood the call OF his name, and
then again cast his vote for L'Hommedieu.
The Niagara county men then knew
that the f1op was coming soon and they
drew close to the gate in the dividing rail
in the courtroom and Bennett moved over
toward them. Chairman Stockwell called
for another ballot In a most intense
silence the secretary began to read of
the names of the Orleans delegates. Ben
nett's name was fourth on the list and he
moistened his lips n muttered: IS. p.
Franchot." Then the umult broke loose.
The crowd cried: -Liar!" Thief" -Traitori"
"Robberl' and John A.. Leggett rushed
to Benefits side and the Niagara county
delegates gathered around him. The
chairman raped frantically for order
and the Orleans county men yelled for a
continuance Of the roll call that they might
be registered.
When quiet was restored the roll call was
resumed and the other Orleans county
men voted for L'Hommedieu and the Nj
agara county delegates for Franchot.
Chairman Weary of the Republican county
committee had a certificate of nomina-
.tion ready and the officers Of the oonven-
ton quickly filed it out. Then Mr.. Fran
chot, former Assemblyman Leggett and
Postmaster Salt OF Niagara Falls hurried
to the special train that was in waiting and
Bennett went with them.
ALBANY, Oct. 8.-The certificate of nom-
ination Of s. p. Franchot as the Republican
candidate for Senator in the Niagara
Orleans district was fled in the Secretary Of
States Office at 11:1O o'clock tonight. The
Office was kept open awaiting the arrival of
the special train hir ed to carry the party
bringing the certificate.
