H. Mitchell. A brief statement has been
issued saying that the friends would not
ask for any such representation. It is
statsd that the customary draping of the
seats of diceased senators 'will be observ-
ed only from the time of the official notice
"of his death to the time of his burial. No
official notice of his death has yet been

fendants in the case of Don Carlos Muss
er and Charles Smurthwaite against
President Smith, of tne Mormon church.
Ah Injunction wa asked for to compel
Smith to give an account of the tithing

given 20 days in which to amend the
complaint, ;
Republican is questionable, and realizing
that Portland has always contended that
her size entitled her to the senatorship,
whether he can appoint anyone not a res
ident of the metropolis is a question.

far made is that the governor know.
