George A Bangs, leading counsel for
the prosecution in the Cowan impeach-
ment trial, to the senate yesterday
afternoon, in which he presented a
resume of the charges preferred by the
house Of representatives and a possible
outline OF his plan of procedure, there
was but one interruption to the elo-
quence of his remarks. 1t was a brief
but noticeable dispute between counsel
for defense and prosecution.
w. f. Cuthbert of Devils Lake, one
of the counsel for the respondent, in
terCupted Mr.. Bangs discourse while
he was giving condensed account of
one Of the legal cases tried before
Judge Cowan and Of which the accused
is charged with wilfully delaying. Mr..
Bangs referred to a certain case about
which much complaint he said had
been made. @
He mace a positive statement about
its date of filing and other technical
tiles relative to it, and Mr.. Cuthbert
asked him il he was sure Of his
grounds in the matter.
II know it," he answered quickly.
Il have the correspondence right here
written from the Office Of Middaugh
& Cuthbert."
Il think you are mistaken" replied
Mr.. Cuthbert quietly Mr.. Bangs
turned to his papers but did not pro-
duce the one referred to.
There was a slight ripple OF ap-
plause among three or four persons in
the gallery, though it did not disturb
the proceedings and was unnoticed by
many.
Mr.. Bangs turned again to his OPP
posing counsel who had spoken and
said, very politely:
Il might suggest to Mr.. Cuthbert
that 1t is perhaps not appropriate for
him to testify at this time"
When Mr.. Bangs had closed his ad-
dress. ii was so late that the defense
did not feel like beginning the an
swer so that adjournment was taken
until 10 o'clock this morning.

WITHOUT guile and with pure purpose
let Us renew our trust n God and go
forward without fear and with manly
hearts"
While congress was assembling i'm
portant military movements were in
progress. After repeated urging from
Washington General Patterson on July
2 once more sent his army across the
Potomac at Williamsport. There has
been so much controversy over Patter-
sons Ill starred campaign that 1t is
well nigh impossible to get an unbiased
statement Of the facts, but It is agreed
that In this instance his delay was
caused by waiting for re-enforcements
and supplies.
The movement began at O'Clock on
a beautiful morning. General Patter-
son reviewed the troops as they fled
past. The men were elated at this Sec
ond entrance into Virginia, but this
time observed silence for the reason
that the enemy was encamped on the
other side Of the river. The Union ad-
vance was led by Colonel John J. Aber-
crombie, and he was on the Confeder-
ates before they were prepared to re-
ceive company. Nevertheless a warm
reception was afforded for a time.
when the southerners gave way and
retreated down the river. abandoning
blankets, knapsacks and other pro-
visions on the way In order to charge
the enemy the Federal troops had to
demolish barn and carriage house.

was In command of the Confederates,
this being his first fight OF any mo-

ion side was three killed and ten
wounded, and that Of the foe is be-
lieved to have been larger. This was
known as the battle of Falling Waters.
The army Of General Patterson now
advanced and on July occupied MIR
tinsburg, where it was joined on the
9Th by Colonel Stone with two regi-
ments and Colonel Lew Wallace with
one and on the 9th by General Sand
ford with two regiments. There is no
question now that this gave General
Patterson an army numerically su-
pertor to the opposing force under Cen
eral Johnston.
swiftly in the western end Of the
state. On July 1 the legislature Of
the restored government of Virginia"
met at Wheeling and formally ratified
the choice OF Francis II. Pierpont for
governor. There is one anomalous
fact concerning Pierpont. H. was
never technically the governor of West
Virginia. which was admitted into the
Union In 1868, although born in that
state and still a citizen thereof. Yet
until 1868 he was recognized by Wash
ington as the governor Of the entire
state of Virginia and after the fall of
Richmond had his capital in that city.
On the same day that the Wheeling
legislature met General I. A. Morris.

Crime Improbable, Says George Sontag

The first instance of a notorious
bandit-a bandit of the type which
made the term a dreaded one in the
far west eight years agO-turning re-
former has been afforded TO the peO-
pie of New York by George Sontdg, a
member of the celebrated Evans
Sontag band of desperadoes, who La5

story of the Uselessness of life ct
crime in daily pictures at a moving
picture theatre.
There were three in the band
George Sontag, the directing genius,
his brother John and Chris Evans.
George was arrested in Visalia, Cal
on Aug. 5, 1892, after he and his par.
ners had blown up an express car
and shot the express messenger. Tn
other two escaped, and it was not
until June y, 1898, that they were
caught, after a battle in the CalitOr
mia foothills. In that fight John SOh
tag was fatally wounded, Evans sLo;
severely. and two of the posse so in
jured that their lives, for days, were
despaired of.
John Sontag died Of his wounds y
days after being captured. Evans and
George Sontag were tried, convicted
and sentenced 70 life Imprisonment.
Sontag was pardoned recently and
Evans last week.

that moment. He had looked the Sic
