The
leiegiites tu tli<> democratic comi
ty convention assembled m the room of
tne Livingston democratic club Satur
day morning. Sixteen of me twenty
one precincts were represented as shown
by roll can in selection of committees.
Tne convention was called to order
promptly at 10 a. m. by Judge J. A. Sav
age, chairman ut the county ceutial
committee, who briefly stated the ohjeci
for vMuch the delegates were assembieit.
, ,. ur t£ed the necessity of caretui and
deliaerate action in tne selection of can
dida tes, cautioning them against per- j
mittmg personal prejudices to actuate
tticui in miming a ncket, which duty
should be performed solely with a view ;
to securing competency and availability,
Me believed that a beiter opportunity is
presented for uemocratie success than
e\ei belore in the history of Park coun
t\, and tu substantiate this belief reas
sorted the bewhiskered statement ein
ployed by the democratic minority al
most from time immemorial, that the
people are tireu of the present manage
meut of county affairs and deiuauu a
change for the ueiler. .
1 lie glee club, composed of six repub
licau voteis unu one democrat, was men
ealled upon and responded uy a sting
entitled "Bor lirover," winch was re
ceived with enthusiastic approval.
On Animus' motion Harvey Bliss of
Big Timber was chosen temporary chair
man, and escorted to tne chair by
Messrs, t arey and Roth. He was intro
duced to the convention by Judge Rav
age, und upon assuming tne dunes ot
the pos.tiou thanked the convention for
the uonor conferred, pledging his best
étions to preside in un impartial man
ner. The temporary organization was
completed by the selection ot D. O'Shea
of hetl Ljodge us secretary and Daniel
Snort ol Taxings toll us assistant secre
tary.
Un motion of Roth the convention
voted to proceed io the selection ot a
committee, consisting of one member
from eacn precinct,on permanent organ
ization anil oruer ot business. wins
brought VY . T. 4 leid to the Hour with a
protest that the convention was loo pre
vious ni selecting such committee and
moved that u committee on credentials
be tirst appointed to determine the mem
bership oi the convention, ihe sugges
tion was accepted and a committee un
credentials selected by the several dele
gations as follows ;
Livingston, 1st precinct, H. McDon
ald; 3nil precinct, \v . H. Duke; 3rd pre
einet, V\ . U. Mullahati ; Hunters ilut

j P ridley, Charles Tuney.
I it was then declared m order to pro
] ceed with the selection of a committee
j on permanent organization and order of
I business, and a roll call of the precincts
! resulted in tne choice of tne following:
: W. 1. Held, J. \V . Patton, Al. Koto,

On motion of W . X. 4 leltl the cuair
was instructed to appoint a committee I
------ - , ,
live ou resolutions anti plattorni. lius (
proceeding was oojected to by George
d. Carey, who believed that tue adop
tion of resolutions in advance ot tue
state convention would Oe prématuré.
He thought the convention should
await the adoption of a slate platform,
willen tiie party would be expected to
endorse, and that such platform should
uot Oe anticipated Oy tne county con
vention. Jutige Dee of Big limber be
lieved the delegates to tbe county con
vention were competent to formulate a
p.atform upon which the tight should be
mude ni bark county, especially at a
Cine when prospects were favoraule for
electing at least a portion of the ticket.
Tins view seemed to meet the almost
unanimous approval of the convention,
us there was not a dissenting vote upon
Air. 4'ieid's motion. The cuair accord
ingly named the lollowing a such com
mittee: George L. Carey, Al. Harris,
Thus. K. Lee, Thos. is. Ash and Joseph
L. bw indien ursl.
Upon reassembling the convention
was culled to order al 2 p. m. by Ctiuir
mau Bliss, who announced a song by
the glee club. "Three Black Crows '
was rendered in a manner that elicited
vociferous applause. 'The report of the
committee on credentials was then call
ed for, read and accepted.
In tne abseuce of regularly accredit
ed delegates, alternates were substitut
ed as tollows: Martin Wilson in Liv
ingston tirst precinct, and J. A. Savage
in Livingston second precinct.
On motion of 4'ield it was decided to
let chairman of delegation east full vote
of precinct where any vacancies occur
red in such delegation.
The committee on permanent organ
ization and order of business reported,
recommending that temporary officers
be mude permanent, and suggested the
following order of business, which was
accepted: First—nomination of state
senator; second—members of the state
legislature; third — sheriff; fourth—
treasurer; fifth—clerk and recorder;
sixth- assessor; seventh—clerk of dis
trict court; eighth—attorney; ninth
three commissioners; tenth—superin
tendent of schools; eleventh—public ad
ministrator; twelfth—coroner; thireenth
—surveyor; fourteenth—selection coun
ty central committee; fifteenth--chair
man of central committee; sixteenth
secretary of central committee.
The committee on resolutions report
ed us follows;

The reading of these resolutions was
pleasing to the convention, especially
.,_____________
that portTun that den« unc<d fuither
management of county nHairs bv renub
lican officials, that it was deemed advis
able to have the platform adopted bv a ris
ing vote, and on motion of Roth the del
egates all promptly responded to this
suggestion.
This composed the preliminary pm't
of the proceedings and all t hat remained
was to go through with the prearranged
programme of naming the victims who,
for most part, had been induced to im
inolate themselves upon the party altar
after earnest solicitation of the' chief
fuglemen.
T. P. McDonald named Dr. J. M. Fox
of Red Lodge as a proper person to don
the senatorial toga, and there being no
one else desirous of the empty honor of
a nomination, his choice was, on motion
of M. Roth, made unanimously by accla
mation.
For members of the legislature J. A.
Savage named Thomas S. Ash of Liv
ingston. W. B. Althmis named VV. T.
Field of this city, and M. Roth placed
before the convention the name of J. R.
Hathorn of the upper Yellowstone.
The fact that for these positions more
candidates were named than the offices
to be tilled presented a novel situation
in a democratic convention in Park
county, and a lively discussion ensued
as to the method of procedure. Num
erous motions were made, some of which
were seconded and others not, until the
of
convention had involved itself in a par
limuentary snarl, in the midst of which j
an admirer of Paul Mahoney arose and
suggested his availability as a candidate j
for the legislature. That gentleman ac- !
cepted the suggestion with sufficient
gravity to warrant his attention and
promptly declined with tiianks. Tilts
interruption apparently wiped out all j
previous motions, when S. T. Marching- |
ton moved that nominations be closed, i
The motion was carried, and the con
vent ion, on motion of M. Roth, seconded |
by George L. Curey, proceeded to ballot ,
for one candidate, it having been tacitly
!
agreed that Livingston was entitled tc
one and tile country precincts to the
other. O. 41. Hatch and John Lenihnn
were appointed tellers. A ballot result
ed in Ash receiving 38 votes. Field 21
and Hathorn 2. Ash having received a
majority of all the votes was declared a
nominee of the convention, and upon
motion of Field file nomination of J. R.
Hathoin was made unanimously by ac
clamation as tile candidate of the coun
try precincts.
For sheriff, T. P. McDonald named J.
M. Conrow of Mission, and there being
no other aspirants, on motion of M.
Roth, he was nominated unanimously
by acclamation.
County treasurer was the next office j
tailed, w hen D. Short named H. Dyer of i
j Livingston. As there was no other [
nominations for the office the usual form-!
: ality of placing Dyer upon the ticket by j
acclamation was gone through with,
after which the chairman called the \
next order of business. This was the i
I nomination of a candidate for clerk and
... ---------------- ... .. ..........- -----;—
( recorder, and it produced the tirst hitch
in theotherwise harmoniously conducted I
programme. Roth named, and Peter
Baer seconded. II. S. Potts for the posi
tion. Swindlehurst stated that
Mr. !
Potts had changed his nnnd about being
a candidate and authorized the speaker ;
to decline the nomination for him. As
no other available candidate was sug
gested tiiis office was permitted tempo
rarily to go by default, but before the
convention finally adjourned W. T. Field !
of Livingston was induced to accept the
empty honor.
4'or assessor George L. Carey nomi
nated aud O. M. Hatch seconded T. P.
McDonald of Red Lodge. His nomina
tion was made unanimous by acclama
tion.
FV>r cleik of the district court M. Roth
named J. A. Bailey of Livingston, sec
onded by O. M. Hatch and W. H. Duke.
This nomination, on motion of J. E.
Swindlehurst, was made unanimous by
acclamation.
E. C. Day of Livingston was named
by Dan O'Shea and seconded by W. B.
Altimus for county attorney. This time
it was upon motion of Dr. J. M. Fox
that the nomination was made unani
mous by acclamation.
Then came the selection of three can
didates for county commissioner. T. K.
Lee named Harvey Bliss of Big Timber.
J. W. Patton wanted Ike W. Baker of
Livingston, but Mr. Baker declined. W.
T. Field named Charles Turley of F'rid
ley. Dr. J. M. Fox placed in nomination
M. Roth of Livingston. M. E. Wilson
named I. E. Haines of the upper Yellow
stone, and C. M. Lovely named J. H.
Martin of Shields river. It was decided
that Livingston should be accorded
membership upon the county board and
it was proposed to make Roth's nomina
tion by acclamation. Several motions
were made as to the manner of dispos
ing of other candidates when it was
finally decided to ballot for all candi
dates—each delegate to vote for three
persons. A ballot was taken and result
ed as follows : Bliss 60, Roth 52, Martin
°5, Turley 38, Haines 11. As Messrs.
Roth, Bliss and Turley received a major
ity of the vote of the convention they
were dulv declared the nominees.
For thé office of school superintend
ent J. W. Patton named Mrs. Eva M.
Hunter of Livingston. Al. Harris
placed in nomination Miss Josie Duke,
also of this city. X ballot' was taken
and resulted in the choice of Miss Duke
by a vote of 46 to 14. .
No available candidate could be found
for the office of public administrator
aud that office was left for the central
committee, who were
name the candidate
empowered to !
______________ !
*No better success seemed to await the I
convention in securing a candidate for ■
the office of coroner, and it was likewise
passed to the central committee. Later, I
however, F. A. Leu pole] of Livingston,
consented to accept a place on the ticket
and was unanimously and by acclama
tum permitted to lead this forlorn hope.
D. M. Hatch named George P. I'rner
of Big 1'imber, for the office of surveyor,
and his nomination was made unani
mously by acclamation.
The convention then proceeded to the
selection of a countv central committee,
ami on motion of M. Both it was decid
ed to call the roll of precincts and per
mit each delegation to name its own
member. A loll call resulted in the
choice of the following;
Livingston 1st precinct F. Beley.
Livingston tlml precinct C. A. Crip
pen.
Livingston 3rd precinct- W. O. Mal

For chairman of the county central
committee M. Roth placed in nomina
tion J. E. Swindlehurst of Livingston,
and W. B. Altimus named Frank Beley
of thiB city. A ballot resulted in the
choice of Swindlehurst by a vote of 40
to 18 for Beley.
On motion it was decided to permit
the central committee to select itB own
secretary and appoint an advisory com
mittee of three members to act in con
junction with that body, and a meeting
of the committee for this object was
called for Saturday night.
On motion of Roth a vote of thanks
was tendered the chairman and secre
tary, and also the Livingston club for
the use of its rooms, after which the
convention adjourned.

that portion of the reserve lying west of
the water shed between Pryor creek and
Clark's 4'ork, met in this city Monday
to formulate their report and forward it
to the secretary of the interior. The
commission consists of Hon. E. D. Weed
of Helena. Major F. D Pease of Living
ston and FYed H. F'osterof Billings. W.
H.Schmitt of Helena is secretary of the
commission. The sessions of the com
mission were held in the court room un
til Tuesdav evening when their labors
were concluded and the report forward
ed to the interior department. It is a
voluminous document, but aside from
the provisions of the treaty already made
known contains little of interest to the
public. The commissioners believe that
no delay should now be experienced in
opening up this portion of the reserve to
settlement, Secretary Noble having
pledged his personal attention to the
matter upon his return to Washington,
which will be some time during the
coming week. The opinion is advanced
that under favorable circumstances the
president's proclamation throwing open
this portion of the reserve will be issued
not later than October 15th. Wednes
day morning Messrs. Weed and Smith
returned to Helena, while Major Pease
and Mr. Foster remained until Tuesday
evèniDg to conclude matters pertaining
to the commission outside of the report
submitted to the interior department.
The commission was tendered a bnn
quet at White's club rooms Monday
evening by a number of the business
men of the city.

The EtiilerMiit District.
S. R. Hudson, writing to the Philips
burg Mail, says: I sent you the result
of the first assay ever made in Emigrant
mining district from a piece of ore se
lected at random from a sack. It gave
a result of 887 2-10 ounces silver per ton.
I am driving a tunnel on the chloride
location below to tap the saute ore chute
235 feet deep. It Will take 280 foot tun
neling to reach the main chute. I will
be on lode all the way, and of course
taking out some ore all the time. I
have several small seams of tine looking
quartz in the face of the drift now, but
the assays give rather light returns for
handling such ore at the present price
of silver. Ninety feet farther in the
croppings show 840.50 gold and from
850 to 860 silver. A little farther up the
mountain is the rich ore chute I am
trying to reach with my tunnel. The
course of this vein is northeast and
southwest. The country rock is por
phery. I have four full locations which

Price Commit« Suicide.
Charles G. Price, a convicted murder
er, committed suicide in the Silver Bow
county jail early Sunday morning. Last
December Price was arrested for the
murder of his uncle P. J. Cunningham,
in the streets of Butte. The exact motive
was always it mystery. During the
trial Saturday, in Ins defense, which
was very weak, Price ciu.med that Cut -
ninghatn had cheated him in a number
of business transactions, and also that
he had been the cause of his wife's un
faithfulness. It was developed, however,
that Mr. and Mrs. Price had never been
legally married. A document was pro
duced, signed by each, the man and the
woman, agreeing to live with each other
as husband and wife, but there were no
witnesses to this document. Mrs. Price
herself was not put on the stand. Wit
nesses for the prosecution testified that
Cunningham had seemed as familiar
> ith Mrs. Price ns was Price himself,
and that Price had apparently not ob
jected. The trial was concluded Satur
day afternoon, and at 11 o'clock the jury
rendered a verdict of murder in the sec
>nd degree, with a recommendation for
mercy.
At 0 o'clock Sunday morning Price
was found in his cell in an unconscious
condition. He had taken a big dose of
poison. All possible efforts were used
to revive him, but without gaining con
sciousness lie died at 10:30 o'clock. lie
left a letter to the sheriff, but it ex
plained nothing.
Price was one of the prisoners who es
caped from jail last 4'ebruarv with Crow
ley, Burke, Stafford and others, and was
found several weeks afterward secreted
in the attic over Miner's union hall. As
to who hid him there, and who provided
him with food has never been learned.
At the time of his recapture there were
some who believed that Price knew the
murderer of the late \V. J. Penrose and
had been assisted to escape for fear he
would divulge some secrets. In fact the
officers offered inducements to Price to
tell what he might know about the Pen
rose mystery, and about those who assis
ted him to escape, but if Price knew
anything he never divulged it.
lioinicltl« at Horr.
At the upper works of the Park Coal
and Coke company at Horr, Saturday
night, Charles Northrup fatally shot
Daniel Durgan. Northrup was foreman
of the company's timber camp and until
a few days prior to the shooting Durgan
had been employed by the company as
timberuian, from which position he was
for some reason discharged by Northrup.
This is alleged to have caused ill feeling
between the two men which culminated
in the fatal encounter Saturday night.
It is stated that Durgan,who when under
the influence of liquor is inclined to be
quarrelsome, went to the timber camp
with the avowed purpose of whipping
or, as he termed it, "doing up" North
rup. When the men met Durgan stated
the object of his visit anil started for
Northrup who. ordering him to not pro
ceed farther, drew a revolver and began
tiring. The first shot which passed over
Durgan's head was quickly followed by
two more, the first of which struck the
waistband of Durgan's pants and em
bedded itself in the cloth. Durgan then
turned to retreat when the other shot
struck him in the back, penetrating and
shattering the spinal column. The
wounded man fell and was taken to the
bunk house when Dr. Osmun was sum
moned and everything that surgical skill
could suggest was done for his relief.
He lingered until Wednesday morning.
The funeral took place Wednesday after
noon and the body whs interred in the
burial ground at Horr, whither it was
followed by u large number of the
friends of the deceased.
After the shooting Northrup walked
from the timber camp to Horr, where
he gave himself up to Constable Erret.
He was held for a preliminary examina
tion before Justice Reese who deferred
action pending the result of Durgan's
injury. The examination did not there
fore take place until Wednesday when
after the evidence of one or two w itaess
es had been introduced, Northrup de
cided to waive examination and was ac
cordingly held without bail to await ac
tion of the grand jury at the next term
of district court. He was brought to
Livingston Wednesday night by Con
stable Erret and lodged in the county
jail.
