"Gils Noble , who was night marshal <
Hullo when Htitto was ornery and dangcrot

Ingtui Star reporter , "was n notable rns
among the after-dark peace preservers of tl
wcslcrn country , for Iwo distinct reason
In the first place ho was Iho Inventor , an
when occasion demanded , the mont cxpe
pracllllonor , of the gentle art of shooting
enemy io death with Invisible guns tin
Is to Eoy , with guns reposing In the nil
pockets of tiU ulster or aack coat. In th
way ho killed three bad men of llutto wl
Iwd a clcTiti drop on him. In Iho decor
place , during his Iwo Iwo-year Icrmn i
night marshal , ho did most or hh big shai
of the bad man quelling wllhIlls flsla. I !
achieved all of his fame as an Invtatb
B"i shoollsl buforo he accepted the Job <
* running the town of Hutle after nundowi
Wlien ho pinned on his marshal'.1) badge 1 ;
said :
" 'A gun's all right , and so'a a knlfo , f <
Ht a man that wants to be a killer. I never we
a killer Ju.it fee Iho name of It , nnd I aln
a-going to bo a killer now that I'm legalize
to lot the night air Into any h l-roarli
maverick that thinks he's bus In th'.a com
between dew-fall and sun-up. I never kllle
no man unless hn needed to be klll.vl ar
It was up to mo to do the Job. and * * o n
ways let 'em got me Into a pretty bad II
at that U-foro I'd feel like , putting It o
thorn. A man can get along well OIIOUK
with liln bare hand. ? , In Hutte or nnywhci
clso. If ho knows tiow to use them. '
"Having thus outlined his policy Nobl
weiil to work to keep the town of Butte I
order with the weapons that nature provide
him with , nnd that ho made his policy stlc
was nhown by the fact that when Noble ga\
up his night marshal's Job at the end (
four years the Iowa records proved Hut 01
of the sccrcs and scores of bad man mli
upn In which Qua bad taken a hand ho ha
been compelled to kill only seven of the ba
men with his guns.
A STROKE OF GENIUS.
"NoTilo'n Invention of the Invisible gu
gameof kill was an Inspiration motliere
by exceedingly-urgent necessity. Gus wn
one of the first men to strike. Hutto who
the mining boom begun , lie was a qule
man , and ho never let on to anybody whet
lie came from. Hi > probably had a rccor
In other camps under some other nami
Instead cf prospecting for the metals Nobl
nosed around among the hills for genii
He never found enough of the garnets e
sapphires to ray for his time hunting then
went over the very same ground ycai
after lo slilke Iho carbonu In paying quit
titles. So Noble came back Into 'Hutte ' an
picked up n living at siiort-haul frelghlln
and playing cards. He was playing a gam
of seven-lip with one of his freighting parl
ners one nght in the rear room of the Ang (
Gabriel saloon when some shooting 'began ' i
tbo front room. There was nothing iincom
nmn n'wut this , but when the glass began t
crash and a couple of balls came throug
the thin board partition that separated th
frnnt room from the rear room of the BO
loon Noble and the man he was playing go
up from the card table to see what Avas goln
on. They stepped together Into the dooi
way leading Into the front room. They sai
Jim Scarsdalc , a killer who had severe
times come near lei being the central flgur
In lynching bees gotten up toy Butte's vlgl
lance committee , In the middle of the saloo :
1)lazlng away with both guns at the light
nnd looking glasses. The bartender wa
not In sight , but when It was all over h
cami ) oul from beneath the bar , very Uesrc
and ferocious. Scarsdalo was drunk and en
joying himself. Ho saw Noble and the othe
man -when they appeared In the dcorwaj
nnd ho Imd them both covered before the ,
Imd time to exactly take In the situation
Scni-sdalc kept his guns on them nnd talked
" 'You two ducks has got a nerve , ' sal
ho , n-pokln' In hero llko this when I'm Jus
stnrtln' In to eat the camp. Ain't y
afraid o' mo , hey ? Ain't ye both skeart

ketch your death o' cold on a raw- nigh
llko thl.j . , oh ? Ilecaute If ye aln'l yo wan
to bo , for I'm a-goln1 lo *
A QUICK KILLING.
"Scarsdalo never had a chance to flnlsl
telling what ho was going to do. There wen
two filiarp pistol crocks , almost togelher
and Scarsdalo fell dead , with ono bulle
through his heart and the other through hi :
right lung. Noble's partner looked mystl
fled until ho saw Gim pull his guns out of tin
pockets of his sack coat , lay them on1 tin
table and then smother the nro In both pocko
linings with his hands , When Noble sal
" " down lo his gomo of seven-up ho removei
his guns from his back pockets to the std (
pockets of his coat , because they Interfere ! :
wllh Iho back of his chair. He know , whor
Scaradalu got Ihe drop on him , thai the mar
was drunk enough to shoot him de-ad If lu
inada a move , nnd as he had his hands thrust
In hltf co.tt Hldo pockets when ho appeared In
the doorway ho was lnnplrod to tuko ad
vantage of tint situation to save his life am' '
the llfo.'of hla friend. He got the thanks ol
the town for finishing Scarsdalo's evil days ,
The pocket-shooting schema struck Noble a :
being a inlmhty goo'd one. for a man In a tlghl
place , and , as I said before , he employed II
on two other occasions to put the kibosh on
had men who , whllo engaged In the amiable
Job of shooting up the town , crossed hie
trail. It wan the good work that Noble time
did In ridding Hutte of desperate charac
ters that Induced the orderly men of the
town to urge Gus to take Iho job of night
jiininhal.
"When Noble made hln announcement ,
upon assuming the olllco , that ho Intended tc
run the town by means of fist persuasion
entirely , unless ho found himself In holes
too deep to climb out of without the aid ol
hid guns , wo all thought ho was only fool
ing. The thing looked absurd on the face ol
It , when nearly every man In the camp
packed two guns and a knlfo around with
him , when the town was honeycombed wllh
bad men , In spile of the efforts of the vigi
lance committee ) to run them out , and when ,
moreover , the previous night marshals ol
the town , all of them gun and knlfo lighten
of the IIrat quality of'.gamcnesa , had surren
dered their badges , after averaging less than
two months' of service each , declaring that
the pace was too warm to make It worth
their while ,
MEANT WHAT HE SAID.

to hove a look around. There was nothlti
In particular going on there crly n doze
coupltfl or eo gyrating around on the han

to Logan for a while , and then ntarlcd I

he almcdt bumped Into another man Ju

of breaking In on men before they had
chctico to finish oiylug what they Inlendc
lo do lo him. He saw .lhal I'rindle's hand

and his left hand shot oul llko a catapul

FISTS AGAINST GUNS.
"After this happened someof us came t
Iho conclusion lhat there might bo some
thing In Noble's queer policy of fist pei
suasion , after all , but It was not unt !
ho had turned the trick repeatedly and pu
out a number of the most savage and thoi
oughly heeled bad men that ever announce
on Btitto's main streets that they dine
dally on pickled coyotes' feet that he sue
cccded In convincing the entire communlt
that a man who 1ms a complete understand
Ing of how to handle his mitts has just a
good an end of most arguments as the ma :
with the gun or the knife. Noble know hoi
to use his hands. If any man out In tha
country did. He'd never lot c < i to any c
us where he'd picked up hla science-
boxing , but I guess we were not far wren
In figuring It that ho had boon In the rln ;
a few tlmcH when he was a younger mar
Ho was n short man , not more- thin five fee
fix hi helsht , but he was very broad ocros
the ahouldcrs , with an arm-reach that wa
almost babooulsh , sinewy as an Indian air
quick as a cat , and his huge chest and arm
were so knotted that , stripped , ho lookc
almost muscle-bound , although ho wasn'l
Ho could strike a terrible blow. A ram
imgeous miner , a stropping giant over si :
feet tall , walked up to Noble ono night h
the Angel Gabriel saloon and deliberate ! :
spat In his face. He was a new man li
Iliitte , and ho didn't know the night marshal
who of course were no uniform. The mine
did this thing out of pure devlllshness , because
cause ho wanted to bo bad , and becaus- -
Noble being quite and Inoffensive-looking
ho figured that ho could do It with Impunity
Noble thrust his right leg back , planted hi
feet firmly on the iloor , gave a dazzlini
swift circular swing with his long rlgh
arm and then sent the rock-hard fist at thi
end of It Ipto the middle of the giant's chcu
The blow sounded llko the Impact of a plli
driver , Tito big miner never got up fron
where ho fell. The physician who examine *
his body said thai the blow had stopped tin
beating of his heart.
HOW THE TROUBLE BEGAN.
"Noble drifted into Tad Moonlight's git
mill one night when things seemed to In
kind of quiet around town. The only cus
tomcr In the place was a big mule-whackc
named Luke Finn , a man whose bard nami
for cattle rustling out In Idaho had foV
lowed him to Montana. Finn was piaylnt
solltairo nt a table In a corner of the sa
loon. Ho nodded to Noble when the nigh
marshal came In , but Noble didn't retun
tie iioJ. When Gus didn't llko a man hi
never made any pretension that ho did.
" 'If an ombrey'9 worth nodding to , he'i
worth t'lMklng hands with , ' ho used to say
'and whcro's the decency of giving you :
hand to a man that sooner or later you'n
liable to have to brand with the eami
hand ? '
"Anyhow , Noble leaned on the tar for <
few mlnules , lalklne with Moonlight , whcr
a queer little guy of a tenderfoot came
bustling Into the saloon. Ho had strucl' '
Butte with a wagon train that arrived thai
afternoon and he was about as raw as the )
make 'em pollen up wllh a regular scoul
make-up , with fringe on his pants , som
brero , two guns , a dlrlt nnd the whole
thing. His tog-out wxis the regular stage
conception of the frontiersman ami , as he
didn't look much bigger than a pint ol
elder boiled down , ho really presented a
funny picture. Noble smiled when the
young fellow ciine In , but went on talking
with Moonlight.
" 'Got any wino ? ' the little tenderfoot
inquired of Moonlight In n piping voice ,
throwing down a gold piece.
" 'From Kentucky , yes , ' e-iU Moonlight ,
grilling and setting out the black bottle.
"Finn , Immersed In his solitaire game
over In the corner , had not noticed the ar
rival of the tenderfoot , but his e-nr caught
this llttlo talk at the bar and he looked up
and leered when ho saw the new arrival.
Firm had enough whisky In him to be
evil and bo was prc-tobly sere besides be
cause Noble had not returned his nod
when he cnnie In , Anyhow , lie got up ,
stretched himself and walkeJ up to the ten
derfoot , looming a good foot over him.
" 'Suy , ' said he , addressing the 'seout , '
'you look llko you oughl lo know a heap
atout dancing n hornpipe , Willie. '
"Thn tenderfool didn't ficoni to undcr-
sland al all what he was In for.
" 'No , ' he said , looking at the big man
unsuspiciously , 'they didn't teach that at
our dancing school. '
ON WITH THE I > ANCE !
" 'They didn't ! ' said Luke. 'Well. they
: each It at this dancing school , and It's dead
; asy when you're helped along a bit. Dance
t , noil,1 and out came both of Finn's guns
it the same Instant and two bullets went
hrough the flooring nbcut an Inch away
'ro'm the lendc-rfoot's hecU. 'Go on and
lauce It , Willie. '
"Well , the poor lltllo chap's eyes almosl
lopped out of hla head , and It didn't take
ilm two seconds to begin gyrating around
vlth his hands on hiships , sailor fashion.
" 'Why of course you know how to dance
t , ' said Finn , planting a couple more but-
ets dangerously near to the llttlo fellow's
eel. 'You can dance * anything In this yere
lancing academy , provldln1 you've gel Ihe
Iglil kind o' music , Jrst shako her up a
lltlo faster , Willie , ' and two moro balU
nil ragged holes In the floor In spots where
he tenderfoot's feel had been a tenth of a
ocondbefore. .
"Noblo had an odd way of half closing hla
iypH when he was getting riled up over any-
h'ng ' nnd they closed up now so that It
ilmo-n seemed as though ho could not se-e
mt of them , Hul he didn't say a word or
nake a more. He could easily have got
ho drop on .Finn with his guns and called
ilm down and to a standstill , but he had
ther plans , and he never need his guns
. 'hlle he was. , night marshal unless ho nc-
ually had to. He knew thai Finn's guns
icld only fourteen balls , and he waited.
" ofthe fun
i"Inn roared with thp pure Joy
IB wax having , and after thrca or four mlu-
i'cs hi * had made fourteen ho.lea In the sa-
non floor , the tenderfoot hopping up and
own frantically meanwhile. When Finn
iut bis guns down on the bar In order to
et al hla cartridge 'beltto ' reload , INobln
llpprd between Finn and the bar , quick aa
Hash of light , and the night marshal stuck
la face v-thn | | two Inches of the mule-
. -backer's red beard.
" 'Ombrey,1 said ho to Finn , 'this la a
earealile camp and It's a camp that's free
o all men thai behave thmnelvc's. No man
an to dance anywheres around tbls camp

"Finn leaped back suddenly nnd ripped 01
his dirk.
A UEMAKKAnLK BATTLE.
" 'Not by n d d sight , am I , ' he said ; 'bi
I am agoln' to cut you up sa a cannln' fac
lory wouldn't toke you , * and ho leaped 1
again and made a luago wllh his dirk a
Noblo's face. Dul Noble's face wasn'l Ihcn
Noble dodged suddenly , and Finn fell agalm
Iho bar with the whirl of the lunge he ha
made , When he turned around Noble wa
In the middle of the saloon , weaponless an
apparently content to bo weaponless. Fin
made at him again and gave another fright
ful side sweep with his dirk for Noblo'
head. Ho missed again , and Gus landed
hard ono with his right fist on the mule
whacker's right ear. Finn winced , but h
was a powerful man , and It took more tha
ono blow to put him out. Well , this flgh
between the man with the dirk and the ma
with only n scientific pair of fists lasted fo
fully five minutes , Finn striking desperate !
to land on his man with hla dirk , and neve
so much as scratching him , while every Urn
ho made a sweep he got a stunning bloi
either on his face or chest. Moonlight woul
have shot Finn from behind the bar , but h
was afraid of hilling Noble , Ihe mon wer
circling about so swiftly. Finally , whe
the mule-whacker made one of his swift sldi
IUIIRCS with the knlfo , Noble suddenl
ducked , ran squarely between Finn's leg
nnd lifted the man off his feet as easily t
nn ordinary man would hoist n pound of sail
Finn came- down on all fours , and Nobl
wrenched his right arm until the dirl
dropped out of his hand. With the dirk a
the mule-whacker's throat. Noble then mad
htm repeat after him a groveling apology t
the tenderfoot , who stood by , too paralyze
with fear to get out , When ho let Finn ur
ho handed him his two guns and his dirk
and told him to make for his shack and slee
off his rum. The mule-whacker walked ou
without a word , a beaten man. "

BERLIN. Feb. 19. By i-'ar the most Im
portant event of the week , politically , WOE
the annual meeting 6f < the Federation ol
Husbandry 'tii this city ! "nThV conservative ! !
.ho week before attempted to make an amlca-
llo bargain with the federation whereby
' .hoy would wage a joint campaign In the
Itelchstag and Diet elections ; but , at the con-
, -entlon , the leaders of the federation frankly
Icclared they would not support any candl-
lates who were not pledged to support the
ilms of the federation.
Herren Dledtrlch and Hahn , prominent
members of the Reichstag and Intimate
'rlends of Prince Bismarck , who are known
: o bo Inspired from Frledrlchsruhe , boldly
leclared that the federation must antagonize
ho government at the coming election un-
oss precise promises are given to satisfy
ho agrarian demands , especially In the dl-
ectlon of paralyzing or excluding "tho con-
itantly Increasing American competition In
ill products of the soil which , If it remains
inchecked , will utterly ruin German agrl-
iulture , which Is equivalent to ruining the
vholo country. "
Resolutions supported by Ilcrren Hahn ,
1roetz , Klappeter , Kanltauid others , were
idopted , to the effect that thu agrar.ans , no
natter of what party affiliation , would only
uccor the candidates standing on the Jed-
'ration's platform.
Within the ranks of the naticnal liberals a
imllar breaking up of party lines Is occur-
ing , a number of the leaders declaring 'they
vlU only vote for candidates of agrarian
endcndes. Thus , the pivot of the campaign
s the question of supporting or antagcnlz-
ng ngrarianlsm. The who'.o of the leftists
if course are anti-agrarians , but they are
Imost assured of the whole of the rightists'
nd many of the centrists' support. There Is
. visible Increase In the agrarian strength
mong the centrists , although the loaders
nd the centrist prros are doing their best
o discourage It.
Shortly , the agrarian problem will bo
laramount In all the legislatures of the
ountry. There Is no doubt the agrarians
ro en enormously increasing factor In po'.l- '
Ics , anl they are doing their bet't ' to hurry
bo government Into a tariff war with the
"iltod : States.
In this connection the remarks of the
( eutscho Tagcs Zoltung , the leading asra-
lan organ , apropos of the news that the
ouso of representatives at Washington had
ailed for the correspondence relative to
American beef , fruit , horses and adulterated
lorman wlnoa , are significant. The paper
lentloncd says : "Wo sincerely hopn the
.merlcans will look thoroughly Into these
Icrman measures. For ono thing they will
rrlvu at the conclusion that Germany has
ealt as leniently as possible with them ,
'hen wo harbor the hope that the Insolence
f these Yankees will bo so Increased by the
Iscusslon of these matters In congress that
Icrmany will not boable to do otherwise
lan follow up the papgr iieasurcs by more
alpablo ones. For that reason wo do hope
10 American * will go ll In great style. "
The VoBstgcho Zeltllptf"replies to this
ffuslon , saying : "IfVopuld b-e hard to un-
ell In a moro frivolous manner the designs
t the federation of Husbandry to drlvo us
ito a tariff war , Ihd' ennrmous damage of
hlch cannot bo foreseen. ' "
Following the cxatnplo1 of the previous
'eek ' , numerous member's tof the Reichstag ,
urlng the course of''the debates , have
erccly abused the United States and Its
ompetltlon. Herr Rovalcko declared the
erman government hdd''Uandled ' the "lice-
Infected" ( American products more lenderl
than America Itself , adding : "The epectc
of a tariff war with that country has had n
terror to the Germans , who fear GoJ an
nothing elseIn the world. "
A meeting of the Society of Husb.indrj
specially called , has passed a resolution call
Ing upon the government to subject a ,
American horses to six weeks' quarantln
and to Indelibly brand them. The soclet
also decided to prepare statistics regardln
horse raising In .America.
The government during thc-last week sen
experts to all the ports of entry and rcvcnu
stations to assist In determining whutho
American fruit la Infected. The officials o
the United States embassy hero have no
yet been Informed whether the costs of th
examination wllj fall upon the exporters.
The press Is very Indignant at the fnc
thai German nurserymen have been orders
by cable to discontinue rttidlng their prod

The opera subscription .ball on Wcdncsda ;

CONSTANTINOPLE , Feb. 15. ( Delayed In

agent to the Turkish government , protestIng -
Ing against the treatment which Bulgarians
have been subjected to In Macedonia , re
veals a state of affairs similar to that whlcl
existed In Armenia. It says that village
after village has been surrounded by the
Turkish army , that wholesale arrests have
been made , and that the prisoners have been
subjected to unheard of tortures.
The note further gives a list of the villages
and the names of the victims to whom
torture has been applied. Schoolmasters , II
appears , have been the special objects ol
vengeance. The following tortures are re
cited In the official document , and In each
case the name of the victim is given :
"Hot Irons thrust Into mouths , legs
broken , splinters driven under the nails ,
naked feet placed In hot stoves , hung by
the fcot for fifteen hours , tied to horses'

LONDON , Feb. 19. The ncwspnpei
opinions expressed and the official message !
sent convoy only a part of the sympathy foi
the United States felt on account of th <
Malno disaster In Havana harbor. The otTl
clal world Is naturally deeply Interested , niu
every opportunity has been tnkcn to ex.
press regret to the United States charK <
d'affaires , Mr. Henry White , In the absence
of the United States ambassador , Coloue :
John Hay , who Is traveling In Hgypt. Hul
In addition to this many private Americans
living hero are receiving letters and cnlle
of regret and sympathy from Kngllsli
friends. On the day of the funerals of the
victims the flags over the consulates were
half-masted , and at Southampton many
ships followed the lead of those of the
American line and half-masted their en
signs.
The prcsa continues Its warnings that the
situation In West Africa between Krancc
and Great Britain Is growing more critical.
It Is Impossible to abandon the British flag
without loss of lionor , and It Is said , ac
cording to the Dally Chronicle , Franco and
Ciermany nro casting covetous eyes upon
Liberia and are contemplating Its annexa
tion. It Is widely accepted that Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain , the secretary of state for the
colonies , Is endeavoring to put backbone
Into the maniuls of Salisbury's dealings with
Franco , Mr. Chamberlain persisting In view
ing the matter purely from the point of
view of the colonial olllco and urging above
all things the maintenance of ( treat Britain's
Interests as a colonizing power. Sir Thomas
Waymets , editor of the Speaker , Is respon
sible for the statement that Mr. Chamber
lain would have pushed his pro-Hrltlsh
policy In Africa to the risk of war , and the
marquis of Salisbury's attitude In opposing
It , therefore , lends sonio countenance to
the gossip that the queen has Informed the
marquis of Salisbury that she will never
again sign a declaration of war.
Two bills which have been Introduced In
the House of Lords and which will un
doubtedly become law have excited much
Interest. Ono of them proposes to make an
unauthorized translation an Infringement of
u copyright and extends the copyright to
lectures and sermons , with the power to for
bid newspaper representatives to copy them.
In addition the measure provides that maga
zine authors are the owners of the copy
right of their articles after three years and
novelists are protected from dramatization.
The otl-er bill provides for the reform of
jnmpany permitting , making directors , promoters
meters and venders Individually liable for
loss arising from false statements and also
providing a penalty of Imprisonment for a
term not exceeding two years.
Tlio future of the Imperial Institute Is
: hreatened by the action of the colony of
Victoria , which has announced the with-
Irawal of Its grant for the maintenance of
.ho Institute , asserting It Is useless to the
: olony. This probably will bo followed wtln
ither Australian colonies taking similar
lutlon.
The memorial 'to the late Lewis Carroll
Rev. iH. S. Dodgeson ) Is to take the form

WASHINGTON , Feb. 19. The Spanish Ic-
; atlon has been advised of the arrival of the
Spanish cruiser Vlzcaya and Senor du Hose ,
.ho charge , has been In communication with
: ho Spanish consul general at Now York
ind Lieutenant Sobral , the naval attache of
ho legation , who Is now at Now York , con-
lornlng the movements of the ship. Sir.
lu nose feels no apprehension over the
iresonco of the ship In American waters ,
mt ho has given Instructions for such pro-
lautlons as may scorn to bo Justified by the
ilrcumstanccs. This will bo In the hands
if the consul general , and Mr. du Dose and
ils staff have no present Intention of going
o New York. The precautionary measures
ire merely those of maintaining an efficient
latrol about the ship.
Aside from1 the instructions going through
, Ir. du Hose the Spanish naval authorities
, t New York are In communication with the
nlnistcr of marine at Madrid. In view of
ho feeling that there need bo no npprohcn-
lon. It Is understood by the Spanish author-
ties hero that there will be no restrictions
.n . visiting the Vlzcaya ueyond the neces
precautions of preventing an Indiscrim
inate crowding by the public at largo.
Up to thin noon Mr. du Hone had not heard
from the commander of the Vlrcaya what
his plans were as to the duration of his
visit at New York and tils subsequent move
ments. His orders will como direct from
the naval department at Madrid.
Mr. du Hose called at Iho State depart
ment nt nocti and officially notified the au
thorities of the presence of the Vlzcaya In
American waters.
It la expected General Mcrrltt , command
ing the Department of the Mist at New
York , will make a formal call upon the com
mander of the Spanish war ship now lying
In the harbor. While the strict loiter of
naval ctlquctto would bo satisfied by a call
from our naval authorities upon the ship's
commander , the usual course Is for the high
est military official In the neighborhood to
call either In person or through n member
of the staff to send his compliments.

the West African situation. A alrlkltift
article In the Westminster Garotteby
William T. Stead toys :
"Tho news from the Niger Is only serious
because of the ni'wa from France. The not
effect of the news from Paris today Is that
Franco Is once more full of revolution. The *
third republic , although nominally still In
situ , no longer exists. The long expected
up-set has arrived at last and has arrived
almost to the very < lay exactly fifty yearn
after the revolution of ISIS.
"Tho coup d'etat of General Holsdeffre dif
fers from the coup d'etat of Napoleon UI
only In the degree of brutality of Us ncces-
wirlea. When the chief of the French gen
eral staff , the nerve center of the gray matter -
tor of the 'brain which directs , controls and
governs the whole armed force of France ,
enters Into n court of law to proclaim to a
Jury thiU unless they return n verdict to his
liking , 'tho chiefs who are at the head of

fense , nro ready to le.ive their las-k to olherw , *
there Is no longer'any republican government
