Double Victory for insurgents.

In the county republican con-
vcntion which took place Tuesday
in the Court House at Tyndall
Mcssrs. Gamble and Crawford
were endorsed for the Office Of
Senator and Governor. Mr.. Lane
man Of Scotland who is aspiring
for the state trcasurers office
walked out OF the convention with
some oil his followers, probably a
dozen oil them and organized a
convention of u cir own. lie
cause of this walk, ut vas A mo-
ton put before the house that the
delegates 10 the state convention
be instructed to endorse Mr.. Gam
bic AND Mr.. Landman at the
state convention in Sioux Falls /;
but the Landman faction insiste d
upon the endorsement OF their
candidate and the erasing out OF
Mr.. Gamble completely, which &C
ton betrayed a machine candidate
in Mr.. Landman. But an ever
whelming majority OF the dele
gates stood fast at the side OF our
senior Senator and OF course was
the fundamental cause of Herr
Landman and his disciples TO
walk out and drum up convtn-
ton OF their own as aforesaid.
Returns from the county con-
ventions from all over the state
show figures which gladden. the
heart of every republican citiz. n,
and which give the machine a de-
cided knockout slow. As the sit
uation stands now the sc-called
insurgents will have ~ votes at
the state convention, whilst the
stalwarts will have to contend
with 2o3 at the mos s., or a minor
ity of 6s5. With these figures
which are at least correct we do
not see how the Kittridge faction
can control the state convention,
al is, up TO this time, claimed by
them and their organs. II is no
longer a question which faction
will win out as the victory of the
insurgents is decided.

SHOWS COUNT bONI
Up As A DON JUAN
The Countess CastelIanes Divorce
Case On Trial.
SHE IS A VERY UNHAPPY HEIREss
Counsel for the Former Anna Gould
Declares That the French Spendthrift
Used Up Eight Millions of Her
Money, and Allowed Her Only Eighty
Dollars a Month for Pin Money.

Paris (By Cable) The first of
the Castellane lawsuits, so long and
so often postponed, came up for trial
in the Palace of Justice "Wednesday.
IT not only drew crowd, which in
cluded many women, but furnished
much sensational matter regarding
the private lift of Count Boni de Cas-
tellane.
The case at bar was Countess An
mas action for absolute divorce. Her
lawyer, Maitre Cruppi, refraining
from mentioning the names of the
women inculpated in the serious
charges brought against Count Cas-
tellane, but otherwise he did not
mince matters or words. The hear
ing was in open court, and it is ex-
pected that all the sessions will be
open.
Maitre Cruppi occupied four hours
in his opening address. and then did
not finish. Consequently the trial
promises to be. a long one. 1t is
understood that the lawyers have
agreed not to mention the names of
the persons involved in the charges
on either side in either of the coun-
tersuits If they can avoid 1t, but as
the lawyers know just who these in
dividuals are il will not be regarded
as strange If one of them some day
speaks the real name instead of re-
ferring to him or her by letter of
the alphabet Maitre Cruppi alone
referred to IL or 12 women of the
two worlds as Mesdames A, G or X.
Aside from the scandal, which
drew the curious to court, Metre
Cruppis revelations of the extent to
which Count Castellane had broken
into his wife's fortune aroused the
sharpest attention. Maitre Cruppi,
in a dramatic opening, pictured the
events that led the Countess to seek
divorce. He told of the sudden loss
of her ideals, and of the wasting of
her fortune by her husband, He
described the reception given in hon
or of the King of Portugal on De-
cember 13, 1905, by Countess Anna
in her palace in the Champs Elysee
and said that the next day the Coun-
tess appealed to the courts for a di-
vorce.
Such sever arraignment has prob
ably seldom been heard in this court
the blackest of colors, declaring him
to be rapacious, brutal and licentious,
while the Countess was held up as
the long-suffering and innocent vic
tim. Nothing was spared and moth
ing was CLOSED over.
In chronological order Maitre
Cruppi recounted the history of the
alliance, which, he said had been
unhappy from the very honeymoon,
owing to the incredible extravaganza
of the husband. who in five years
used up the colossal fortune that the
daughter of Jay Gould had brought
him.
Count Bonis. inordinate and in
satiable demands for money, accord
ing to the attorney for the Coun-
tess, began as soon as the couple ar
rived in Paris, and led Immediately
to i'll treatment and abuse and soon
to blows
