Lee 0'NEIL BROWNE
TO Be TRIED AGAIN
Jury Cannot Agree and Is Dis
charged by the Judge.

The jury at Chicago which has
had in its keeping the fate of Lee
O'Neil Browne, charged with bribing
Representative Charles A. White to
vote for William Lorimer for United
States senator, was discharged by
Judge McSurely after it had assured
the court that it could not reach a ver-
dict
The jury had been deadlocked for
115R hours, breaking all records in
Chicago.
The statement made by States At
tonney Wayman that the jury had
stood II to 1 for conviction, with
Charles Spare as the ouly man hold
ing out, was denounced by three jur-
Ors as false.
Jurors Townsend, Hennessy and
Spare declared that the jury never had
stood at II to /.
"The jury stood to a." said Town
send, but l cannot tell you which way
it stood"
Juror Hennessy admitted that the
jury had stood two to one for convic-
ton, but that the minority was just as
determined as the majority.
Twenty-four ballots were taken, ac-
cording to Juror Townsend and each
time the vote stood to 4.
Before calling in the jury to deter
mine the prospects for verdict the
judge conferred with States Attorney
Wayman and Attorneys Forrest, Erb-
stein and O'Donnell for the defense.
Brownies lawyers stTenuou, ly OBJ

Each offered motion against the pro
posed course, but all were overruled
by the court.
Representative Browne said the out
come of the trial was a victory for
him in a sense that it carried vindica-
tiOn.
'It proves that the states attorney
had no case" he said. q would have
preferred a quick verdict of not guilty.
But this shows that there were men on
the jury who would not send q man to
penitentiary on the word of a man like

States Attorney Wayman said he
would insist on going to trial on the

He will not be turned over to Sanga-

YT is quite against all the rules of

United States senate, even with the

some little thing.

BANDITS HOLD UP
AND LOOT A TRAIN
100 Passengers Robbed and
Some MaItTeated

All the passengers were relieved Of
their valuables and the express mes
senger was compelled to give up the
contents of his safe when three mask
ed bandits held up the second section
Of Oregon Short Line train No. /, at
Second street, in the northern part of
Ogden, Utah.
There were about 100 passengers on
the train, everyone of whom lost some
article of value.
The robbers stopped the train by
placing railroad torpedoes on the rails.
When the engineer brought the train
to a stop the head brakeman went for
ward to ascertain the cause of delay
and WIS struck with revolver by one
OF the bandits. He was then taken at
the point Of a gun to the express car
ard compelled to call the messenger
to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened
one of the bandits crawled in and
commanded the messenger to open
the safe. After rif1ing the strong box
the robbers turned their attention to
the coaches.
Rear Brakeman Franklin was met
as he was on his way forward. The
thieves commanded him to halt but he
disregarded the order and two shots
were fired at him.
Franklin rolled into a ditch and
feigned Inconsistencies. After seeing
that he was not watched he jumped
up and ran three blocks to the home
of Deputy Sheriff Hutchens, whom he
aroused and informed of the robbery.
The deputy hurried to the scene, ar
rtving just as the train pulled out for
the north.
The train robbers went through each
coach with a deliberation and calm
ness that showed they were not nov
ices at the game. When Conductor
Williams left the train he was COW
cred by one of the robbers and ordered
back into a coach.
While one Of the desperadoes stood
guard over Engineer Kirkwood the
other two, with revolvers drawn, went
through the train ordering each pas
senger to hand over his valuables.
One woman, Mrs J. H. Ball.. was
relieved of pair of diamond earrings
which were torn from her ears.

DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK

Be Close One.

Washington, D. c., November s.
The Associated Press reports from
Boston announce that as a result Of
the remarkable campaign of Eugene
governor, the prosl cts of democr -;
N. Foss, the democratic candidate for
success in Massachusetts have In
proved so materially that the RepYD-
lcan managers are alarmed, and the
betting last week, which was TO
; in favor of Draper, is no wat even
money. Mr.. Foss IS waging his cam
paign along the lines which enable i
him as candidate for congress TO
Cverturn a republican majority of 81
coo in ,he Old Colony district. Mos

cost of living and Chat is question

respondents, that tie democrats Of
Massachusetts are 70 win with a re
mcndtit t.lun Tia at the polls equal 20
that in Maine ahd forecasted in Con-
necticut, New Jersey, New Work and
Ohio. And with the progressive poll
cies to which Mr.. F'oss and his asso-
ciates on the ticket are pledged the
people will have good reason to ex-
pect a deigerance from the oppressive
power and burdens under which they
have long suffered"
The pinch of the high cost of living
is felt today as never before since
the civil war, hence men and women
want to protest against it, and intelli-
gence directs the voters towards

power to change existing conditions,
and the indications are there will be
a tremendous revolt on November s,
in every state where elections are
held. The men who for private profit
put the Aldrich tariff tax on the backs
of the people deserve punishment and
a great many of them are going to get
