meeting was not held at the court
house on the day fixed for it, but a
meeting was said to have been held
at Progress Hall that day.
Chas. H. Jackson, in testifying be-
fore the contest committee at Denver
was asked how many of the contest
ants were Mormons, and he replied.
They are all Mormons. Instantly
a number of the contestants rose and
started for Jackson but they were
headed off before they got to him.
The dispatch does not state who they
were, but it was probably K. 1. Perky,

d. l.. Evans
When quiet was restored Jackson
was asked oname the Mormons in
the delegation, and he named Mr..
Evans, but Evans instantly denied
the charge and started for Jackson.
everything broke into an
uproar again and while Evans was
trying to get to Jackson, Jackson was
busy declaring that Evans had told
him he was Mormon.

JUST A FEW LIES.

In the Democratic convention at
Denver the Idaho contest command
ed considerable attention. and both
the contestants and the contested
seem TO have told a few lies when the
case was being tried before the COM
mittee.
Sam Rich of Blackfoot stated that
the Democratic mass meeting held at
the court house in Blackfoot on the
22nd of May was widely advertised
and largely attended, and delegates
to the state convention were chosen
at the meeting. The only advertis-
ing 1t had was in a news item in the
Idaho Falls Post. and mention
made of It in the Republican in which

Dubois delegation was seated after
hearing much of the evidence, the
vote in the committee on credentials

Dubois has been contending for an
anti-polygamy plank in the national

to accomplish that, working almost
alone. A telegram received here by

It did appear that the visitors were offering several splendid chances, but the locals could not hit at the proper time. hit in the third or seventh inning would have won for Co., lumbus. The locals have seemingly been afflicted with dope powders prescribed by Drs. Blackburn and Sample. That is a combination which accounts for Vicks- burg being where they are in the per centage column. Demaree was generous with transportation.
