convention in the state Of Montana,
explained the procedure for calling
such a gathering and described the

need no further evidence of the urgent
necessity existing for the calling of a
constitutional convention than this

constitutional convention held in 1888:

thing SO panther-like in the move

The first to act was Harker, who,
with a quick movement. threw him
self before the door leading into the
room in the front OF the house As
the count saw US, a horrible sort OF
snari passed over his face, showing
the eyeteeth long and pointed: but
