The only two survivors now of the
thirty-sixth congress. which was sitting
at the time of the secession Of the south
ern states. are Daniel Il. sickles and MI.
Pryor. They were great friends in the
United States congress. One became a
major general In the northern army,
the other a brIgadier general in the
southern army. They met again in New
York after the war, and their friendship
became closer than ever.
General Sickles arranged a meeting be-
tween Governor Hill and Justice Pryor,
when Mr.. Hill offered the Vlrginisn a Judge
ship of the court of common pleas, say
ing that he was doing It because General
Sicklos had so requested him, After the
end OF his term he was elected to the
bench. ard when the courts were consoli.

a place which he held for many years.

Justice Pryor is democrat, as his
father was before him. He does not take
an active Part in politics now, though he
keeps track OF all that is going on in
either party. He refused to let himself
be drawn into a discussion Of the Denver
and Chicago platforms. but he had a word
to say about the choice OF the democrats.
Charles A.. Culberson Of Texas was
the man to nominate" he said, positively.
With him the democrats WOULD have
---
crat, a tried executive, a deep student
Of the law, and a man without a single
faint to his reputation. Resides that, he
is a southern man, and 1t is time the
democrats gave the south a nominee
again"
Referring TO Bryan. Justice Pryor said
that he didn't believe a third canvass OF
the country by him would helP his lectur-
ing business or his newspaper subscrlp-
ton list.
Il believe that there will be a revolu-
ton Of feeling against him that will lie

A few cool days have encouraged hos
teeses to forsake the club and entertain
1t home, With the result that the last
week has brought some Of the prettiest
parties Of the summer. The revival OF the
out Of door affairs-the avn and garden
party once 20 popular, the porch party
and the picnic has been hailed with de-
light by the majority after so long a
season Of more formal indoor affairs and
the woman who has a lawn or veranda
that IL at all adaptable is fortunate indeed
While the morning card party is by no
means an innovation it has been more
numerous OF late than for several seasons.
Certainly nothing could be more enjoy
able nor prettier than a game on the
lawn or veranda. The croduet party is also
coming back to favor and is refresh
lnly mild compared with the strenuous
bridge game, the guessing contest and the
majority Of alleged entertainments pro-
vidsd all too frequently on warm afternoon
when extending IN invitation lie little
short Of abking a favor.
One Of the largest and smartest affairs
Of the week was given out of dooTs-a
lawn and porch dance at Fort Omaha by
Colonel and Mrs. William A.. Glassford.
The automobile lends possibilities to the
picnic that II never knew before, making
possible q day in the country or at almost
any desirable spot regardless of distance,
and the automobile picnic occupies a place
near the top on the list Of favorites.

DEFENDANT EVEN BROUGHT
COOK TO PROVE ALIDI
Little Court Room Not LARGE
Enough to Accommodate Cur
iouS Spectators From All
over COuntry--BOth Sides
Claim Evidence.

Ra,on, n. NJ, May 27.--A sensa.
ton resulted here today when Bud
Farmer, a deputy sheriff ana a wit
ness in the preliminary hearing OF
Henry stone, charged with completely
in the Wells-Fargo robbery at French
station. when $50, 600 was stolen, took
Jhe stand and asserted that the Wells
Fargo company was as careless in the
handling of money shipments to Daw-
son as though they were 50 much
coal.
Henry Stone a brother of Emery
stone and rancher, was here to
prove an alibi and he brought with
him every employe of his ranch. in
cluding the cook, to show that he was
NO, away from home when the rob-
berry took place.
The preliminary hearing came up
before Justice Cantou. There was a
large array Of legal talent and from
appearances the case will be hard
fought, although each side claims that
1t does not want to bring out all the
evidence in its possession.
Farmer was the first witness called.
Within ten minutes after he had taken
the stand he was keeping the attor-
neys busy.
Farmer said that for years he was
the deputy sheriff who ltas sent 10
escort the moHCy Shipments frSfa.
French to Dawson, but ne testified
that he had never taken charge of the
shipments until they had been placed
aboard the train for Dawson. He
asserted that money shipments had
frequently been left unguarded all
night in the French station.
His examination had not been con-
cluded this afternoon, but 1t Is under
stood the Wells-Fargo company will
offer testimony to refute his state
ments.
Hundreds of people are packed
about the small court room this after
noon and sentiment is largely divided
and heated disputes are frequently
heard among the spectators.
Charles A. Spiess of Las Vegas and
District Attorney j. A. Leahy of Ra-
ton are conducting the prosecution,
with f. C. Champion and John Nor
row appearing for the defendant.
Stone asserts that he will be able
to prove a strong alibi, while the
prosecution claims to have sufficient
evidence to hold him to the grand
jury.
The court room is not large enough
to accommodate the crowd of people
who are here from all over Colfax
county.

MILLION DOLLAR SHIP
NOW ONLY A TARGET
Navy Officers Test Guns and Torpe-
does Against Armor Plates of
the Florida.

Washington. May 27.-Wind and
weather permitting, the ordnance Of
ficers of the navy viii today begin an
experiment which they believe will
have far reaching results. 1t will con-
sist of an attack on the monitor Flor
ida with tOrpedoes and highly eXplos-
i've shells These experiments will be
costly, but as exact battle conditions
will be reproduced it is expected that
much will be learned regarding the
value of arm0r ana also regarding the
high explosives now used in the navy.
The Florida cost a million and a half
dollars and was completed a year and
a half ago. The type is not consid-
cred valuable, however, while the eX-
periments are regarded as of the
greatest benefit. The experiment will
be made off Old Point Comfort.
Different styles and thicknesses of
armor plate will be tested and all OF
the high explosives will be given
trial. 1t is not believed that the ship
will be sunk, but it may be blown up
and demolished before the tests are
complete. II all depends upon the ex-
pl0siveS.

Two men were arrested near the
scene suspected OF having set the
building on fire. The fire started
with terrific explosion in the Oase-
ment Of the factory. Several smaller
explosions rendered the work of the
firemen hazardous. 1t Is believed
the explosion was caused by paint
stored in the building. Charles Tietz,
a fireman, was struck by falling
bricks and seriously If not fatally
hurt.
The fire was a spectacular affair,
particularly after the terrific explo-
sion, which sent the flames leaping
into the air and caused a portion of
the building to fall with a crash.
Residents in the vicinity of the fire
were hurriedly assisted into the
streets by the flremen and many Of
them did not have time to dress. The
firemen entered the burning building
despite the hazard, and 1t was while
attempting to get a hose line into the
structure that Fireman Tietz was
struck by falling debris. He was re-
moved to an emergency hospital. The
motive of the men accused of ignit-
ing the building is not known. They
deny the charge.
