Allianco Asks Judge Westover to Order the County Commis sioners to Forthwith Re-con-veno and Call a Special Elec tion, all of which his honor Refuses. On His Own Motion Judge "West over orders tho Commissioners to meot Monday, March 30th, 1896, and- act on the petition and evidence before them, as They deem fit and proper. At 9 o'clock on tlitj 13th insL, tho Alliance county scat petition " era,-by -th.oir-nt4ornyrG.r.lI.Sul- Hvan, appeared before Judgo Wes tover at Rushrille and applied for a peremptory writ of mandamus, ordering the commissioners to im mediately ro-convuuo and call a county scat election. Com missioners Barry and Ilollinrako were represented by Mr. Barry in person and Attorneys Gihnan, McCIung and Hauler. Commis sioner Duncan was also presen t with W. G. Simonson as counsel. Judge Westover listonod patiout ly to the pleadings of the different partit'3 and then very properly, de nied tho unreasonable and illegal prayer of the relators' attorneys, but probably considering that the petitioners had somo rights and interests in tho matter which should not bo allowed U) suffer through tho incompetency of their counsel, ordered tho commission ers to reassemblo on March 30, ISOfi, and resume tho consideration of the petition whero th ey left off on January 17, which is entirely satisfactory to the people of Hem ingford and vicinity. Thereupon Sullivan asked tho court to lim it tho time of hearing of evidence by commissioners to six days, which the court properly refused. This loaves tho status of tho case at present as follows: The commissioners are to meet March 30, remain in session as long as they duem necessary, and then decide on the petition accord ing to tho ovidonce before them.

Ho seized a musket from a soldier near by, and raising i t to his shoulder, stood for an in stant as if in tho act of iiroing upon an enemy, then lotting it drop from his hands ho staggored like a man shot through tho heart and fell forward across tho pioco.
