whom he well knew had been insulted
he challenged the supposed offender to
n duel. but was prevented from car
rying out his purpose by his friends,
Pierce and Cillcy. who showed him
that the supposed Insult was entirely
mythical. A fcw years later Cilley was
himself challenged by u political en-

Chicago, Sept. l4.--Former United

fallen down in his come back race
for congress, incomplete returns early

aries showing he has lost to Arthur

about thousand votes.

In the gubernatorial race. Govern

Late returns early today indicate
that Dunne's plurality throughout

sible exception Of Lieutenant

candidate.
Lowden won the republican nomin-
alton for governor at an estimated
plurality OF 100000.
Rough estimates of the total vote
in Illinois indicate that more than
5000 ballots were cast, 100000
of which were by republicans and
100000 by democrats. Approxim-
ately $4,000 women cast votes in the
primaries. The reason for the light
vote was because women we're allow
ed to vote mostly for local Offices
only.
Last returns indicate that Dunne's
state vote will be about $4,000 and
Lowden's 100000.

SENSATION At
BILLINGS TRIAL

San Francisco. Sept. 14.--"Your
honor, this is the first of the men
we believe to be conspiring against
the accused. We demand his with
drawal."
Maxwell McNutt, chief counsel for
Warren X. Billings, on trial for mur-
der in connection with the prepared
ness parade bomb explosion. today
pointed to A. NJ. Kramer, detective,
put on the witness stand by Deputy
District Attorney Brennan, and made
his demand.
| Brennan clamored to have Kramer
heard.
This was the first real sensation Of
the Billings trial and it raised a point
that was the subject Of argument
when court recessed for noon.
! In the tense court room McNutt
and Brennan hotly contested their
point.
Gentlemen" warned Judge Dunno,
"the jury can not listen 10 your quar-
reling."
Neither lawyer would yield; and
the Judge ordered the jury removed.
Warren X. Billings past may never
be barred in the present trial. For
upon this issue the first determined
clash between prosecution and de-
fense has arisen.
The Introduction OF Billings past
into the present case is vital to the
prosecution, argued Brennan, for
this record, he said. will show Bill
lings' peculiar skill" in the con-
struction of bombs and in plotting
the explosion of them.
If the prosecution is not allowed
to introduce the more remote past,
it will try to introduce Billings car
eer in Sacramento and other dyna-
mite incidents as evidence.

The merchants OF the city have de-

concerned will be served by keeping
the places OF business open during
the three days OF the county fair
There had been some discussion as to
the closing OF the stores on one or
two afternoons that clerks and others
could attend the fair. II was feared
that this might Inconvenience many
visitors from outside who might wish
to do shopping while here to attend
the fair. II was also argued that the
open stores made places in which
visitors could congregate and find
resting places, hence the decision to
keep them open to the public.

TIE great Pageland riot and
murder trial is now a thing of
the past. A jury Of twelve good
citizens have spoken, and it is
to be hoped that the affair thus
closed will remain so.
After five days consumed in
the examination of witnesses
and in the three, cornered debate
OF legal counsel, the case went
to the jury Friday afternoon at
5 O'Clock. A verdict was return
three hours later exonerating the
Arants of all blame for the riot
and bloodshed and finding j. K.
West, Baxter West, Arthur
West, Sheppard West and Lu-
ther West guilty of riot.
The Wes,s were sentenced to
pay a fine of $4,000 each or to
serve one year on the chaingang.

Charles Campbell Sentenced

One of the last acts of the
Criminal Court at the recent ses-
sion was the sentencing of Charles
Campbell, colored, TO the chain
gang for life for the killing of
Lester Hancock, white, on the
night of the 23d of last October.
This killing. il will be remem-
bered, was peculiarly sordid.
The fight arose, apparently, over
discussion of who should pay
for wine that had been drunk by
group of white mel. and ne.
groes.
Charles Campbell was allowed
to plead guilty to manslaughter
and Louis Campbell, who was
implicated, was freed.

James I. Grant

The Pageland war last March
developed real hero in the per.
son of Rural Policeman James T..
Grant.
Mr.. Grant had been detailed
to Pageland only q few days be
fore the riot and was unknown
to nearly all participants in the
shooting affray and, therefore,
when he, as a peace officer, un-
dertook to quell the riot, he was
at a disadvantage in that it was
not generally known that he was
an officer.
Jim Grant, however, from the
first disturbance made every at
tempt to prevent the riot.
During the melee Of shots
while half a dozen men were
emptying deadly weapons at each
other-Jim Grant was the one
man not engaged as participa mt
in the riot who did not run.
Testimony at the trial showed
that Mr.. Grant had arrested and
disarmed Wesley Arant, and,
still holding him by the arm.
had turned to Sheppard West,
who was doing deadly work with
rifle. He had no more than
called to West, Don't shoot :"
than the shot was fired that
killed Arant, who fell into the
officers arms. Grant then cross
ed the street, secured the rifle
and arrested it's owner, then pro-
ceeded to disarm the other par
ticipants.
How Grant escaped all injury
is remarkable.
During the course of the trial
it was nota Die fact thar not h
lawyer could mention the testi-
mony of this man without taking
time to pay his respects to Mr..
Grant for his valor and devotion
to duty.
