Fitzgerald Faces Disorder.

Hes a Cannon man from New York;
shouted a delegate at Fitzgerald, and 1t
was a long time before Mr. Fitzgerald
could proceed.
As he addressed the convention the dis
order spread 10 all parts OF the hail ex-
cept the delegate section. A chorus from
the rear OF the hall drowned out his in
tended eulogy OF Parker, with renewed
cries Of "Oh you Cannon" A Cannon
Democrat
Chairman Mack threatened TO clear the
galleries unless the speakers were accord
ed attention. but the hubbub continued
This convention Will adjourn at once
unless We have order announced Ser
geant-at-Arms Martin, but even that threat
failed to quiet the tumult
Assistant sergeants.at-arms moved among
the spectators but made no move to put
them out.
Mr. Fitzgerald decided TO 50 ahead, de-
spite the noise He said Judge Parker did
not seek the distinction Of presiding over
the convention. and therefore. would not
withdraw.
New York" he concluded. will Loyalty
abide by the decision OF the convention"
A squad OF policemen on duty outside OF
the hall was brought in and the aisles were
cleared with difficulty. The galleries were
beyond all control and intent upon shouting

While the demonstration was on Chair
man Mack announced that the roll would
be called
We protest against that shouted a
BRYAN supporter. Wen have no gag rule

Mr. Mack was preparing TO enforce his
order when BRYAN burst through the crowd

JUDGE ON STAND
 IN DARR0W TRIAL Taking of Evidence Con- cluded; Final Arguments
 Begin Monday

Los Angeles, August 9.-The taking of evidence in the bribery trial of Clarence S Darrow was concluded to- day, and by stipulation of both sides final arguments will be begun Monday morning.
 The prosecution had intended making a last effort to introduce the much dis cussed transcript of conversation be- tween Darrow and John R. Harrington, which had been overheard by means of a telephonic device. A ruling by Judge Hutton, however, that the defendant could not be impeached upon collat- erai matters caused the district attor- ney to abandon the effort. Except for the testimony today by Judge Waller Bordwell who presided over the trial of James B. McNamara. and before whom the McNamara brothers plead guilty, todays proceedings were with out sensational features.
 Judge Bordwell contradicted portion of the testimony of Lincoln Steffens. the writer who was an important witness for the defense. He testified he had met Stef- fens on several occasions during the week preceding the continuation of the Mc- Nanara trial, but he denied that he ever lad discussed the so-called peace nego- tiations with the author. Steffens. he said, had attempted to talk about the settle ment with him. but he had declined to enter into any discussion.
 After a conference between attorneys for both sides and Judge Hutton it was decided to allow two and half days for argument by prosecution and defense. This argument assures the case going to the jury not later than next Friday even ing.

works. "A working man who owns a
home here the sidewalk is on the
natural level, pays just az much per
foot as the wealthy man whose val
liable property is situated on the
main street, and in addition, he has
to pay a part Of the expense of fill
ing up big holes in the frc1t Of the
property Of the wealthy man. To
come down to actual facts it is stated
that J. E. Pheian Of Bowman owns
a valuable property past which the
sidewalk runs. BY the side Of Mr..
Phelan's property is what the protes-
tants term a "bottomless pit" or
something that closely resembles it.
This is due to the fact that the build
ing was constructed in a natural hole,
the builder having had to build many
feet of stone foundation in order to
bring the first floor up to the street
level. Now, having built this prop
erty in q hole, the small property
owner cannot understand why he
should be taxed to build up MI. Phel-
ans lot, and some of them have had
the temerity to protest. The tenn
porary injunction which they secur-
ed against the city council has
stopped the work at present and 1t
is hoped that Judge Crawford will
make the injunction permanent. This
will have the effect Of compelling
every property owner whose prop
erty is improved by the sidewalk, to
pay his just proportion of the ex-
pense. The men who have under.
taken to fight in behalf of the peo-
pie are Messrs. DeLange, Kelly, Suit,
Comstock and others. These gentle.
men came to Bowman last Saturday
to personally interview Judge Craw-
ford but we have been unable to
learn what are the results of their
visit. The opposing forces were also
on hand the same day and the out
come will be watched with interest.

INJUNCTION
At MARMARTA
Residents Of That Town Pro-
test Against Street
Improvement

Bowman Citize-: There's all
kinds Of trouble brewing in our
n%eighboring town of Marmarth. The
city fathers have been served with
an injunction which puts a stop to
their work of grading for sidewalks,
and those who obtained this temper
airy Injunction from Judge Crawford
hope to get it made permanent.
The trouble started when the vii.
lage authorities undertook to get
SIDEWALKS built, charging the neces.
sary grading for the same to the VII.
lage at large, and for the sidewalk
proper to the property owner In front
Of whose property the sidewalk is
laid. This places a direct burden OF
so per fifty foot front upon each
property owner whose property Is
benefited, and a burden upon all the
taxpayers sor the filling and grading.
The Marmarth Mail, in a two-column
editorial last week, claims that this
is just and fair, but those who op.
pose the proposition say that Editor
Cramer of the Mail is biased, being
under obligation to n Of the big
property owners who reaps a larger
benefit than the others, by this
method.
Here's an illustration Of how it
