nou,. Herald staff Correspondence.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 25.-Polf
Is again played a very conspicuous
- in the trial of the Coopers ana
arm Col Cooper was on cross-ex-
n;nation all the morning and he was
Injected to a rapid fire of questions ,
cant Fitzhugh of counsel for the
ate Col. Cooper stood his ground
oil He was ready, quick and smooth
bis manner He did not loose his
emper. although it was plain that ne
Eas worried. Col Cooper was very
much vexed when his counsel objected
questions. He repeatedly insisted
hat he was ready to answer and ex-
lain every question, but his counsel
oo,ined To allow him to conduct his
bwn case.
Col Cooper having stated that Mr..
rarmack's first charge against MIN
,as that of "bolter," he was carried
hack TO the state debt question OF
n S82 and asked if in that campaign he
bid not support j. H. Russell against
General Bate, the Democratic nominee
for Governor. Col Cooper answered
3tbat he did, but that he considered
Fussell the regular nominee.
Judge Hart declined to allow the
Lancet" editorials, published in the
4 Cox. Patterson campaign to be given
in evidence The state sought to show
that Col. Cooper being one of the
advisory board publishing this paper
had aDproyed of bitter attacks on Gov
ernor Patterson. Many alleged news
naper editorials were carried to the
attention of Colonel Cooper which at
tackled him and he was asked II ne
resented any Of them. He said that
he resented all mean editorials, but
none of them called forth a note or
threat from him. Col. Cooper denied
bringing Cox and Patterson together,
but admitted that he would have done
so with pleasure II he had had the
opportunity. He did say that he had
invited Cox to meet Patterson at the
Governors office two days before the
Across the Muddy Chasm'' editorial
appeared in the Tennessean.
Col. Cooper was carried through the
Cox-Patterson and Patterson-C armack
campaign. The defense objected
strenuously to this line of questions,
but the court allowed most OF them.
Col Cooper showed a remarkable fal-
ing of memory. He could not recall
what Patterson had said about Cox IN
his first campaign.
Col. Cooper admitted that at the
police station on the night OF the Kill
ing statement had been prepared Tor
the press by his friends; that there
was present w. ]. Ewing, editor OF
the American; ]. C. Bradford and otn-
ers. He said that the statement pre-
pared had been presented to him by
these gentlemen but that he declined
to read it and had never read IT. he
denied many of the statements attri-
buted to him in the American report
Col. Cooper proved to be one OF the
most accomplished witnesses that ever
has took the stand. When on dan
gerous grounds he would quickly elude
his examiner by a sudden failure OF
memory. For instance, Col. Cooper
admitted that he was employed by the
Louisville & Nashville railroad al
$4,000 a year on taxation matters but
ne failed to remember the details OF
his services.
At 11:45 Col. Cooper complained OF
being tired and court adjourned until
o'clock.

Last Tuesday Miss Maggie
Daniels and Miss Irene Hudson
both young girls, under the age
of 18 years, of Mackay, were
brought to Challis on a COM
plant sworn out by the County
Superintendent, to send the two
girls to the Reform School, and
if half is said about the girls be
true, it is where they belong.
But the complaint was only that
the girls had not attended school
as required by law. But the
case was thrown out of court for
want of evidence because the

dance report of scholars was not
sworn to. The teacher should
have verified her report, yet the

Grading Contract to ChalIis.

Salmon, Dec. 16.-The report
is current here, based upon sub
authority, that the con-
tract to grade the railroad bed
from this city to Challis was let
to Macarthur Brothers of Chi
cago about month ago. The
story has been officially confirm
ed and assurances are good that
work upon this dirt-moving en-
terprise will be commenced this
winter. There is considerable
rock blasting along the canyon
portion of the line, and it is un-
derstood that the rock work will
be done during the winter.
Macarthur Brothers company
of Chicago and elsewhere, is the
concern which has been con-
structing the grade between
Armstead and Salmon.
Location work for the up-river
extension, has been carried as
far as Clayton, 81 miles above
Salmon City, and along this en-
tire distance the grade lines
have been run showing enough
data of contour to enable a grad
er to determine the yardage Ol
earth to be moved. Between
Salmon City and Challis the
canyon is quite narrow for about
80 miles and the channel of the
river in places is very tortuous
In this course the road viii
