A devoted WIFI.


One of the bravest and most selfsacritic-
ing little women In all the west is Mrs.
John l. Logan, wife of Judge Logan, of
the first judicial District of Idaho. With.
drawing from the society of friends and
city life ana leaving home of luxury in
New York she followed her husband to
the far west, and IL constant companion
at his side save when he ss at the court
room. Like the beautiful Ruth of biblical
fame she seems to have said to her hus-
band--"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to
return from following after thee; for
whittier thy goest | will 90; and where
thou lodgest. 1 will lodge; thy people shall
be my people, and thy God my God; where
thou dicst, will die and there will be
buried: the Lord do so to me, and more
also, If aught but death part thee and
me.
Judge Logan ia in feeble health, and
whether on the train, in the stageicoach,
in the hotel or camp, she is constantly at
his side and seems to anticipate and ten
derry care for his every want. Noble
woman, it's no wonder that all, even the
uututored miners in the camps of th
Coeur d'Alenes, should raise their hats in
honor when they meet her,-Blackfoot

CHICAGO, June 5.--The Cronin INQUEST
was continued to-day, Patrick McGar, a
friend OF Cronin, testified that Croniu told
him he expected to be assassinated for the
part he took in the investigation at Buffalo,
for the charges that Alexander Sullivan,
while a member Of the executive board Of
Clan-na'Geal, misappropriated a large
amount OF the society's funds and sent
men to death and to British prisons to hide
such mlsappropriatiou.
Just before the inquest over DR.. Cropin
was ended to-day, the books Of the Traders
bank OF Chicago were brought into the
court room by order Of Judge Shepard.
Byron Smith, receiver Of the bank, was
present to explain their bearing on the
case BY the checks on file and ledger en-
tries, IL was shown that In the summer of
1882 Alexander sullivan had 100000 in
the bank. or this money 500, " and more
was an individual account The rest was
credited to Alexander Sullivan's agent. By
Septem ber g. 1882. this money had been
drawn out on checks made payable to J.
1. Lester q Co., brokers. 1t is the inten-
tion OF the coroner to summon the men,
bers OF the trm to prove the matter further.
Patrick McGarry, Michael Barry, Mau.
rice Morris and Joseph O'Byrne, all
members OF the Clan Ma Gael,
and friends OF DR.. Cronin gave tes.
Cronin had aided them at different times,
and that he expected Alexander Sullivan
to instigate some one 70 kill hi,n. All
were asked II they had ever heard Of any
threats aeailst the Doctors lie by Mr.. Sui.
livan. Each replied in the negative.
Thomas J. Connor, Clan.na. Gael man,
testified that he had overheard Mcclellan,
the Philadelphian, say that he had como
west under orders from the executive com.
mittee OF the Clan. At meeting OF
Camp "a, continued resolutions, regretting
Cronin's death were opposed, be-
cause perhaps the executive committee
had proof to show that Cronin WAS q
British spy. Alexander Sulllvan's atten-
ton was called to the testimony Of Re.
ceiver Smith this afternoon at the inquest.
Mr.. Sullivan said there was nothing what
ever in the Traders bank account which
could not and would not be satisfactorily
explained when any proper judicial pro-
ceedlnes required 1t. At any time during
the past six years he could have obtained
and destroyed the checks II he had 30 de.
sired, but as there was nothing to conceal
anybody having any right to an explana-
ton eau get 1t, and will do 80 at the proper
time.

The MAVERICK Poisoning,

LIVERPOOL, June 5.--The Liverpool in
quest in the case Of Maybrick, who Is sup
posed to have been poisoned by his wife,
was resumed to-day. DR.. Hopper testified
that in treating the patient he had pre-.
scribed the use of strychnine, but had
never advised the use OF arsenic. The
witness states that in June, 1883, Mrs.
Maybrick came to him and asked him to
speak to her husband about the habit of
arsenic taking, to which. she said, ne was
addicted Maybrick mad acknowledged
to the witness that he he'd struck his wife
and had given her black eye during a
quarrel about a gentleman. Witness fur
ther stated that Mrs. Maybrick
had expressed to him repugn-
ance towards her husband and
wished she could obtain =
sep ration from him. DR.. Humphrey,
who had also attended Mr.. Maybrick, tes-
tilted that shortly before the patients .
death, he had given directions for u few
drops OF the solution Of arsenic to be ad-
ministered hourly TO the man. A waiter
in London hotel identified Briefly IA the
man who stayed with Mrs. Maybrick two
days az her husband in March last. This
testimony ELECTED groans and hisses and
the coroner threatened to clear the court.
A letter was read which Mrs. Maybrick
wrote to Briefly from Jail appealing Tor
assistance and money, and stating that
everything was known about their visit to
London. The letter concluded: ZAP.
pearances are terribly against me, but be-
fore God. swear that am innocent"

BOLD ROBBERY.
Thieves Enter . CiokhinG Store and Garry
on Lot OF GOods.

or = Lot OF Goods.
One of the most daring robberies yet
reported in this city occurred at 10 O'Clock
last night on Post street. Burglars forced
open the door of M. Fickenstein's clothing
store and carried of several pairs OF pants,
"a large number of shirts and nearly all
the jewelry In the show case, the value OF
alt the property taken amounting to about
$3.50. An electric light WAS burning In
the store at the time, and people were con-
tinually passing along the sidewalk. The
theater was in progress ut the opera house
across the street and half a dozen carriages
were in waiting in the street. The propri-
etor of the store closed up at $3.50 aud the
store must have been entered Immediately
after his departure, Shortly after the rob
berry Chester Edwards came along and
noticed the door slightly open. Two men
were standing in front. Edwards asked
one of them to watch the store while ne
went for an officer. bnt the fellow an
swered that he was in u hurry, and disap-
peared around the corner, accompanied by
the man who was with him. 1t is pre-
sumed that these two men were the par
ties who committed the robbery, and that
they had returned for another load of
plunder. No doubt some OF the numer-
GUS pa sersby observed the robbers in the
store, but owing to the early hour thought
nothing of it. The thieves were careful
to select the best quality of goods on the
shelves. Edwards thinks he could iden-
tify one of the men whom he saw standing
iu front OF the store.

A FLOOD SUFFERER.
a Spokane Man Loses Eighty Barrsis Of
whisky.

Martin CRUDE of Spokane Falls, for
merly of Huntington, Pennsylvania, re-
ceived n telegram last night from his
attorney. h. 8. McMurtrie, saying:
''Your iron warehouse was carried away
by the flood; eighty barrels lost"
Mr.. CRUDE formerly operated large
distillery at Huntington, but shut down
some time ago, owing to the operation of
the local option law. His best stock of
goods was stored in bond in an iron ware.
house located in the fiat opposite Hunt
ineton. The presumption is that the ter.
rible freshets prevailing throughout that
region have swollen the blue Juniata"
beyond its banks, and 1t has swept away
everything in its course. Mr.. CRUDE esti.
mates his loss at not less than $4,000. He
has little hope of recovering any of the
whisky, for he says majority of the peo-
pie living along the river below are pro-
hibitlonists and thinks IL they should
catch any Of the barrels they would con-
ceal them in their cellars to prevent
wicked men from drinking the vile stuff.

whether, in the event of reduction being
