HEARSTISM DOMINANT

The nomination of Vim. II. Hearst
by the Democrats of New York places
the party in the worst condition it
has been in for twenty years. 1t
means that the Democracy Of New
York has sold out to socialism, yell
low journalism and demagogism. 1t
is disgusting to every real Democrat
that Murphy and his ilk could have
brought about such a result. Je-
rome has bolted the ticket and thCus-
ands of Democrats will follow his
lead. Hearst will as surely be de
feated as election day comes and the
worse his defeat the better for the
Democratic party. lie may suit a
certain gang in New York, but he
doesn't suit Democrats outside OF
New York, and he can never lead the
National party.

growing depends upon the proper Sc

heard the professors opinion as to
what constitutes good seed corn can

BITTER ROOT VALLEY MURDER
rel-Murderer Is Now Under
Arrest.

MISSOULA, Mont, March ga
cold blooded murder was committed at
Carlton, fifteen miles from here, in
the Bitter Root valley, late yesterday
afternoon. Reports state that c. A
Ais, rancher, shot and instantly
killed William Hoff, man who went
up the valley last summer from Phil
ipsburg, where he has lived for fiji
teen years.
Ais, it is alleged, shot at Hoff three
times with a 44-calibre Colts revolver,
each shot taking effect in Hoff's body.
The first shot tore off the lower part
Of his chin, the second bullet struck
him on the edge of the collar bone,
and the third struck two inches lower
down, crushing through the breast
bone and remaining in the body The
tragedy occurred in the house at Ais
ranch, and as far as can be learned,
was the result of a drunken quarrel.
rev particulars as 10 tne nature OF
the quarrel are obtainable. There was
one eyewitness to the murder in the
person of George Coniff, but as he
was under the influence of liquor, he,
as yet, has not been examined about
the affair.
In the. house at the time of the
is ninety years of age and in such a
feeble condition that he hardly knew
what was going on.

man and the accused murderer to this

CINCINNATI GRAFT WITNESS STOLEN
Over Bank Cashier and Lexow
Probe.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March %
Thomas j. Davis, cashier of the First
National bank of this city, who was
! arrested in a sensational manner last
night for failing to appear as a wit
ness before the Drake investigating
committee, was returned to the city
today on a writ of habeas corpus, hav-
ing been taken from the sergeant-at-
arms of the senate at Springfield and
brought here in the custody of Gin
cinnati officers.
Mr. Davis acted on the advice of the
banks attorneys in refusing to appear
before the committee, holding that the
information which was sought from
he had no right to make public. He
was at his desk as usual, even mott
flying the committee where he could be
found if they wished to secure his ar
rest.
Attorneys for the committee, how
ever. said that they feared that any
attempt to secure his arrest in the
ordinary way would be a cause for
delay, through habeas corpus pro-
ceedings and the legal contest which
would follow. For this reason they
took the somewhat unusual method of
arresting him on a warrant from the
state senate ind then hurrying him
from the city in an automobile before
the local courts could issue a writ of
habeas corpus and secure possession
of the witness.
The Drake committee had summon
ed Cashier Davis to testify whether
his bank had paid either gratuities or
interest to County Treasurer Hynicka
as means of securing the deposit of
county funds. The hearing Of the ha-
beas corpus was postponed till next
Wednesday. Davis was released on
his own recognizance.
