Sin: Iu your issue Of this date, under
the head Of "Moro Of the Story Of Harvey
Woodruff's Affairs" is an article taken
from the MouudSville Herald, in which my
name has prominence, and ~Crookedness In

who have stood blythe woman he so basely
deserted and have tried to save a home
for her and her child out OF the wreck
made by his perildy.
The reGdeTstof the INTELLiGkNcER will
remember that In July, 1884, about four
months after Woodruff absconded, be re.
turned to Glen Easton, remained three
days and departed a second time, taking
with him his wife's sister, BERTHE Ciouston,
who had been living in bis family several
years. The next tldings we had from
Woodruff they werei in eRn Francisco, Gal.
Last June We received through the mail
notice Of Rertie'a death. Not creditinR
the report, l wrote 10 San Francisco for
the facts. A copy OF the obituary record
saying that Berthe Woodruff had died on
May %, from complicated confinement"
slgned by the attending physician, was
sent me.
l wrote the physician for particulars.
In due time his answer came, sta ing that
the parties referred 10 had been keeping
house as Mr.. and Mrs. Woodruff, and the
cause Of her death was as stated1 IN the
record referred to. Upon the revelation
Of these facts Mrs. Woodruff applied TO
the Circuit Court Of Marshall county for
an absolute DIVORCE and the custody OF
her child. Evidence was taken in San.
Franetsco, which accorded with the above,
and Upon this evidence a divorce az
prayed for was granted at the October
term Of court.

A Peculiar Accident.

About o'clock last evening Mrs. Oscar
Steinert, transient guest at the Windsor,
met with a rather peculiar, but. fortun'
ately, not very serious, accident. The lady
was leaving the hotel to take walk, and
just as she stepped upon the sidewalk
was seized with an attack OF dizziness. She
staggered and reached out her left hand to
prevent herself from falling, and her hand
and arm passed through pane OF the bay
window Of the hotel. The jagged edges o.
the broken glass cut deep cash in he,
arm, and DR.. Leavitt, who was immedi
ately summoned, found it necessary te
make twenty-one stitches in sewing up thu
wound. Mrs. Steinert lost considerab blt
unantity of blood, but no arteries wert
severed, and the wound will soon heal
She is afflicted with biliousness, which
caused the dizziness that followed her sud
den transition from the heated atmospher'
OF the hotel to the cool evening air.

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE.

Speculation As to Whether 1t Will Elect

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O.-The Legisla-
ture convened in extra session at Sacra.
mento at noon to-day, but promptly ad-
journed until tomorrow in difference to
the memory OF deceased member. Many
members assert that Senator Hearst's
term as United States Senator expired at
noon to-day when the Legislature was con-
vened, and that the Legislature will pro-
ceed to elect new Senator on the second
Tuesday from to-day. Several prominent
members are quietly laughing over this
proposed arrangement, saying no such op-
portunity will present itself as the bust.
ness for which the extra session was called
will be completed and the Legislature ad-
journed long before the legal date for the
election of Senator has arrived. In this
case the Governor will have to reappoint a
Senator. The situation is peculiar.

ANOTHER INDIAN OUTRAGE.

Two White Men Murdered and More
Trouble Feared at Calispel.
SPOKANE FALLS, w. r., July 2O.-Reli-
able information regarding rumored In
dian troubles in the Calispel Valley has not
yet been received. That there are grave
fears OF an outbreak, the following special
to the Review from Fort Spokane received
at q late hour this morning, under date OF
the 18th will show. San Indian runner ar
rived at the fort to-day direct from the
Calispel country and reports that the Cal
ispel indians killed two white men on that
reservation Sunday afternoon" General
Carlin left Fort Ceur d'Alene at daylight
this morning with two companies OF infan-
try idr the Calispel country, and it is ex-
pected they will arrive there tonight. The
volunteers who left here yesterday returned
at noon to-day. They went as far as
Wild Rose Valley, where they found
the settlers congregated at two or
three. different points under a strong
guard OF settlers from the surrounding
country, but they saw but one Indian.
They returned for supplies, but hearing
that Gen. Carlin had gone in there with SOL
diers they have decided not to return until
further particulars can be obtained. There
are now two companies of Infantry and
one OF Cavalry in the Calispel Valley. The
excitement here to-day has been greatly
intensified by rumor that the murdered
men mentioned in the above dispatch are
Constable Joe Warren, OF this place, and
his brother, who left here about ten days
ago in search OF two Calispel Indians who
are wanted for the murder Of Geiger over
a year ago and Officer Buck three months
ago. Sheriff Whittier with an Indian guide
left this afternoon for the Calispel Country
to investigate the matter.

That kidnaDing Case.

Minnie Platt answered to two complaints
one by her husband, charging her with
kidnapping her own child; the other by A.
Haycock, who had custody OF the child,
charging her with breaking into his house
to abduct the child. The DEFENDANTS at
torneys moved for a dismissal on the
grounds that husband cannot legally
make complaint against his wife, that the
court had no jurisdiction in the matter for
the reason that no legal issue as to the
guilt of the defendant had been created,
and that the complaint did not state sui
ficient facts to constitute a public offense.
The motion was overruled, and the case
continued till tomorrow at p. m. The
child is still in it's mothers custody.

A WANTON WOMAN.
Mrs. Crawford Unblushingly Testifies to
Her Own Guilt.

Mrs. Crawford Unblushingly Testifiss to
Her Own Guilt.
LONDON, July 2O.-The court was crowded
in the Dixie case to-day, and the evidence
was decidedly the most interesting yet
given. Mrs. Crawford testified. She con-
fessed that she disliked her husband be-
cause he was too old and that she loved
Foster because he was handsome and
pleasing, that she had committed adultery
with Dixie for the purpose OF obtaining a
divorce from her hcsband. She spared
Foster as much as possible because she
knew he was about to marry. Under a
strict cross examination she confessed
that she had committed adultery with only
Dixie and Foster. thus exempting two other
society men. The remarka BILE feature was
that when Mrs. Crawford was asked ques-
tions. for instance, with regard to French
vices, adultery, etc.. she answered with the
utmost calmness, Eyes, yes," and even
smiled, showing that she was naturally an
abandoned woman, who rather gloried iE
her shame. Mrs. Crawford spoke in soft,
pleasing tones, damaging Dixie without ex-
culpating herself.
