ed with people from all parts of
the state. 1t is safe to say, no
matter what is said about the
new Primary law, that never
before in the history Of the state
have so many men gathered
from all parts Of the state to
transact the business of the diff.
ferent political factions. Here.
to.fore it has been the custom of
the politicians to hold these con-
ventions at different towns and
on different dates so that at no
time in the history of politics in
this state, was the whole state
represented.
The Majority Democratic Pro-
pcsalmen met in the chamber of
the House of Representatives
and passed motion to meet in
the Chamber of the Supreme
Court, and it was here that the
business of the Committee was
performed. While there was
ample. and at times. heated dis
cussions of men and measures,
there was no break in the party
and the big affair passed off as
smoothly as could be expected in
a meeting of this kind.

Hearing Of the Cw:
ington Murder Case
Now on at Bison

The County Seat town is filled
with people this week, with wit
nesses and interested spectators,
brought together by the hearing
of Will Curington, charged with
the murder Of Fred Richards in
December.
Justice Void, Of Bison, is pre-
siding and the defendant is re-
presented by Judge brewery, of
Bison, and Atty. Jackson from
Hettinger while the prosecution
consists of County Atty. Stanley
and Atty. Percy Helm, of Sturgis.
Wednesday and Thursday
were consumed with a rapid fire
grill of the defendant and his
principal witnesses. From the
drift of the questions it is appar-
ent that the state will attempt
to supply Curington with a suffi-
cient motive to commit the crime
alleged, by proving that his in
debtedness to Richards was very
large and that he was being
pressed by Richards for settle
ment, which Curington was un-
able to make, also Curington's
generally bad temper and readi-
ness to resort to the gun method
Of settling difficulties, is mat
ter of common knowledge. That
the story of Richards highly
nervous condition over his do
mestic troubles which lead him
to loose his self-control complete
ly, is not we'll founded, in
view of the fact that he had
become thoroughly reconciled to
the notion of living apart ftom
his family and had prior know
ledge of the fact that Ruth Rich
ards, his wife, had filed on a
homestead.
The defense rely an the same
story told at the time of the
tragedy and at the Coroner's
inquest, admitting however, cer-
tain portions of the new evil
dence and facts brought out by
the prosecution.
LATER
AS we go to press, it is learned
that William Curington was
bound over to the Circuit Court,
which will convene in Perkins
County in May of this year. 1t
is understood that his attor-
neys will apply to Judge Dill
nan of this Circuit for bonds
for Mr.. Curington. 1t is also
claimed that the state will re-
sist their application.
Once more Perkins county is
confronted with the prosecution
of a murder case that will be
long and bitterly contested.
There is without doubt ample
evidence to support a part. at
least, of the claims made by the

Upon a call for the orders Of

were adopted:
RESOLVED: That the Demo-
Gratis of Perkins county, in
meeting assembled. heartily
support the administration Of
Woodrow Wilson, and recon-
mend the President of the
United States for his ability,
high ideals and courage. We
congratulate the country up
on the enactment of the tariff
law, revising duties downward.
and the present Democratic
Congress for fulfilling their
pledge to revise the tariff
downward;and for accomplish
ing the task, which the Repub-
licans promised to do and
showed their utter incapacity
to do.
We further congratulate the
country upon the enactment
of the constructive banking
law, which will prevent panics
and in time afford protection
to depositors and retire nation
al bank currency.
The Democratic party has
shown its capacity to rule, and
have by it's legislative acts and
ability answered the Republi-
can threat, that the Democrat
ic administration means panic;
AMI the Republicans have to
answer to the people for their
attempted deception.
We condemn the so-called
Richards primary law as a re-
suit of Republican unstates-
manlike scramble for office
and for control of political
machinery, and recommend to
the people the consideration of
t h e primary | a w as pro-
posed by the Democrats and
recommend the election of the
Democratic state ticket as a
rebuke and check to Republi-
can factionalism.
The present and recent Re-
publican state administration
has increased our Indebtedness
while we have been heavily
taxed.
We are in favor of economi-
cal and business-like methods
being employed in county mat
ters, and endorse the Demo-
cratic members of the present |

SUFFERED FROM
STORM

Hilo,s sew wharf Is declared to have
suffered some damage as a result Of
succession OF heavy swells which
swept the breakwater and the struc-

The coast of Kan, Kona and as far
down as Hilo bay was dashed by noun
famous waves for the past week. The
tremendous seas crashed on to the
shores Of Hawaii and the spray was
thrown for many feet inland.
At times the waves came over the
hreakwater and tons Of foam-tipped
water poured over the artificial har.
Dor boundary.
Near the land end Of the breakwater
some damage was done to the kuhio
bay wharf. and the sunken railroad
was displaced by the waves which,
after breaking ever the breakwater,
created strong swell and undertoW

wharf sustained some damage and the

force of the waves can be estimated

was shaken at times and that the rails

from their base. The steamer Virgin
