LEBANON PEOPLE WERE
 ARRESTED IN NORWICH

Constable Briggs of Lebanon came to Norwich Tuesday morning with a warrant for the arrest of Nelson w. Wheeler and his wife, Florence Wheel CT. MT. Wheeler was charged with striking a man by the name of Tiger of Lebanon and also with stealing a dog belonging to MT. Tiger. As Constable Briggs was rather loath to arrest the man because he had had experiences with him before, he called upon Con- stable Myer BIumenthal of this city for assistance. They located the accus- ed man in Norwich Town and took him to Lebanon. Wheeler was brought be- fore Justice B1akesley, but he was dis charged because the evidence was not sufficient.

On Trial

Choteau, Nov. 15.-The Nov
ember term of the district court
was opened here at 10 o'clock to-
day, with Judge Leslie presiding.
A great influx of jurors have
crowded every hotel and rooming
house, and at present rooms are at
premium.
The most important case for
trial is the Piatt murder case,
which is being given first place.
All day was used up in trying to
get jury, and it is expected most
of tomorrow will be required to
get twelve men satisfactory to
both sides. In all probability the
rest of the week will be used up
with this murder case. Mr.. Piatt
is a quiet rancher living Is miles

build school house at Bole, and
before the building was finished he
got in a quarrel with MIR. Bundy. a

Present Close Contest on President
is Likened to Memorable Tildea-
Hayes Contest that Stirred Nation

Washington, Nov. ct h {
Tilden-Hay es election contro-
versy of 1875 was reviewed to-
day by persons who fear a dead
lock in the contest between
Hughes and Wilson.
In the election of 1876, Sam
uel j. Tilden (dem) carried
Connecticut. New York. New
Jersey, Delaware. Maryland, In
diana and Missouri, as we'll as
ten southern states, w h O s e
votes were not in dispute; 1874
electoral votes were obtained
for him and 1876 constituted a
majority. One additional cleo
toral vote would have brought
him into the presidency, and it
seemed possible that one could
be h a d from Oregon. where
three republican electors had
undoubtedly been chosen, but
one was considered ineligible
under the law and the demo
cratic governor had appointed
in his stead the next candidate
on the poll. a democrat, and
given him his certificate.
In t h e south, 19 electoral
votes were in dispute. In Lou
isiana, a republican board had
given Gel tificates to the repub-
lican electors. In Florida, the
vote had been close. In South
Carolina federal troops h a d
guarded the polls. There were
double returns from Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina.
One vote out of the 200 dis
puted-the one from Oregon
would have given tn e presi-
dencv to the democrats. The
control of the government de-
pended upon the action of con-
gress when it met in Joint ses-
sion to count the votes. The
house was democratic. the SEN
ate republican. Congress lis
tened willingly to proposals of
compromise and it was agreed
that an electoral commission
should be constituted consisting
of five members of the house,
three democrats and two repub-
licans; five members of the SEN
ate. three republicans and two
