The "History of Woman Suffrage" records the fact that the measure was secured in the first Territorial legislature through the political trickery of an illiterate and discredited man, who was in the chair. Mr. Bryce, in "The American Commonwealth," alludes in a note to the same fact. Women voted in 1870.
The three figures behind the cypress trees remained immovable and silent until the five searchers had gone away with their lamps and tools and the sound of their retreating footsteps in Friary Lane had died out. Then Dick Bewery moved and began to slip off, and Bryce reached out a hand and took him by the shoulder. "I say, Bewery!" he said. "Going to tell all that?"
But of the cause of his sudden death there was no more doubt than of the effects. Ransford had been in the court from the outset of the proceedings, and when the medical evidence had been given he was called. Bryce, watching him narrowly, saw that he was suffering from repressed excitement and that that excitement was as much due to anger as to anything else.
Send the switch-engine and a couple of flats up for them. Phone Poundstone. Tell him to have the chief of police " Bryce Cardigan's great hand closed over the Colonel's neck, while down Water Street a dark streak that was Buck Ogilvy sped toward the automobile, intending to climb in and make Pennington's manager a prisoner also. He was too late, however.
Batts for something I forget what some small matter which the Collishaw's hadn't got and she had, and she went next door to fetch it. Therefore do you see? Ransford was left alone with Collishaw's tin bottle!" Bryce, who had been listening attentively, looked steadily at the inspector. "You're suspecting Ransford already!" he said.

They assign, as a reason for this, the exceptionally dry region in which Ararat is situated. Mr.
Now, then, you are going to incorporate a company to build a road twelve miles long and a private road, at that. That would be a fatal step. Pennington would know somebody was going to build a logging-road, and regardless of who the builders were, he would have to fight them in self-protection. How are you going to cover your trail, my son?" Bryce pondered.
And while Bryce, followed by the careless George Sea Otter, went into the lumber-yard to succour the enemy, Ogilvy set an example to the men by stepping into the open and starting briskly to work with a shovel. At the bottom of the pile of lumber the Black Minorca was discovered with a severe flesh-wound in his right hip; also he was suffering from numerous bruises and contusions.
"Yes!" answered Bryce. "He did come. Soon after you'd gone out." "Why did you keep that secret?" demanded Ransford. "You could have told it to the police or to the Coroner or to me. Why didn't you?" Before Bryce could answer, all three heard a sharp click of the front garden gate, and looking round, saw Mitchington coming up the walk. "Here's one of the police, now," said Bryce calmly.
It in effect declared the "preamble proved," and proposed that "the clauses" should be considered. At the suggestion of Lord Bryce a true friend of peace, if ever there was one certain words contained in the original resolution proposing that there should be a tribunal constituted "whose orders shall be enforceable by adequate sanction" were omitted.
