He told of finding Allemand's body in the ashes of his wagon, arms and legs burned off, torso charred, the gold crowned teeth which a Billings dentist identified, of the top of Allemand's skull being burned off, the face unrecognizable. He told of the gun shot wounds and thelr location on Allemond's body.

Shortly after the trial began. On the first two hours the engines developed 82,000 horse-power and the water rate was well above the contract. A few minutes after the battleship had passed Cape Ann, and vhile it was entering the fourth hour of its test, a seven-inch tube in one of the lower row of bollers blew out and filled the room with steam. The engineers im- mediately cut off four of the fourteen botlers. As soon as the extent of the in- juries of the firemen had been ascertained the North Dakota was swung around and headed back up the coast for this port, where 1t was known a good harbor could | be reached shortly after the expiration of the time limit.

The highest majority we ever received on the head of the ticket, not counting Roosevelt, was less than 25,000. Since we redeemed the state in 1500 our average majorities on the head of the ticket have been about 10,000, as shown by the following figure: “Starting In 190 and giving majorities In round numbers on head of the ticket stralght through as follows: Deltrich, 800; Sedgwick, 12,00; Mickey, 5000; Barnes, 10,- 000; Mickey, 9,000; Letton, 24,00; Sheldon, 12,000; Reese, 24,000; Sheldon lost by 7,000; Barnes over Dean, 6,00.
