Fred Decker. who lives ON South Rodney
street, testified that he was in the dairy
business and that his cattle ranged be-
tween Dry gulch and Holmes gulch. Tues
day night, Aug. % or %, he was out search
ing for his cattle rather late. Started out
after o'clock and did not get back until
after o'clock. He was looking for cattle
tracks; did not see any cab tracks when he
went up Dry gulch. He crossed the trail
leading 10 the powder house and
tnrned 10 the left. When he
came back he came down the
south trail. IL passes near the prospect
hole where the body OF Annie Lundstrom
was found. He saw cab tracks and
thought il very strange as he had been up
lowed the tracks and saw that they led 10
very near the top Of the ridge. He knew
they were cab tracks because they were too
narrow for wagon track and too wide for
buggy tracks. The turn was made at the
head OF the gulch opposite the prospect
hole, opposite the city. The next morning
he saw where the cab had come down the
mountain and noticed how the tracks led
from side 10 side, naturally made BY a
driver who has no brakes ON vehicle,
working his way down hill. Where the
cab stopped was out of sight of the city. A
few yards more and IL would have been In
plain sight
Witness was at the prospect hole the day
the body was found. He saw Sheriff Hatha-
way find piece Of fan and spoke 20 him
about the cab tracks. They went and ex-
amined and he picked up q piece OF fan
about four inches long near the stump
where the cab stopped above the prospect
hole. IL had been very dry for some time
and the tracks made by the cab had not
been obllterated. There was also piece
of an empty paper box, new one. found.
Before proceeding with the cross-examl-
nation Mr.. Wallace asked the witness 10
draw diagram OF the locality where the
body was found, but drew IL himself. the
witness designating points. The examina-
ton was searching ON material points, but
nothing new was brought out.
This witness was valuable one for the
defense, as his testimony clouds the theory
OF the prosecution as To the manner In
which Mrs. Lundstr0m was killed. Ac-
cepting the statement that a cab went
above the prospect hole and stopped, an
other theory suggests itself. and that is that
the woman was murdered elsewhere and her
remains conveyed to the prospect hole and
thrown In.

FRENCH NAY FIGHT.

which Possibly May End I'm Duels.
PARIS, March A.-In the chamber OF
deputies today Laguerre ayerred hIs party
intended to prosecute the campaign care
fully and legally. lie would not appeal TO
the chamber. whose verdict was immater-
ial. but TO the country. which supported
the Patriotic League. He denied the
league was secret society. The real con-
splraiors were those who rebelled against
universal suffrage. Persecution and vIo-
lence would only hasten the hour when
the country, dlsgusted and indignant,
would expel the chamber. Applause from
Gen. Boulanger arose and crossing his
arms defisntly regarded the majority. An
uproar ensued. during which Thesse was
censured for apostrophlziDg the president.
Cassagnhc deied the chamber 10 prosecute
Bouianger. The debate was clotured-
sls 10 2l4. The chamber then, by vote OF
SS4 10 227, authorized the government 10
prosecute the accused deputies. The sitting
then adjourned.
As result OF the heated debate duels are
Imminent between Arene and Provost de
Lsaunay, Burfeau and Cassagnac, and

A MASS OF RUINS
The Lower Works OF the Anaconda Com.
pany Entirely Destroyed.

ANACONDA, March lA-[Special 10 the
Independent l-At $50 O'Clock this morn
ing fire was discovered In the roof at the
center OF the ore house Mt the lower works
OF the Anaconda smelter here, and within
ten minutes the flames had spread 90 that
il was impossible for the firemen 10 do any
thing towards saving the building, and
their main efforts were directed towards
saving the adjoining buildings. They
were successful In saving the concentrator
and stamp mill. but within two hours after
the alarm had been given the immense
smelter was q mass OF smouldering ruins,
with not stick In all Its forest OF frame
work left standing. The frames spread to
the new calclne building, which
was rapidly approaching completion,
aud which was Intended 70 be
avery important addition to the smelling
plant The value Of the plant was chiefly
In the immense amount OF ponderous and
costly machinery used In the smeter. All
OF this machinery as well as the building IL
self. was nearly new; In fact, the work OF
enclosing the north section was completed
less than ten weeks ago. This smelter was
regarded as the largest and best equipped
establishment OF Its kind In the world. The
fire Is extremely disastrous in its results, rs
the loss will involve uncounted thous.
ands. In any event the destruction OF the
property practically entails interruption OF
all the operations at Carroll, thus inter.
fering In . very serious manner with
the plans OF the Anaconda Smelling COM
pany. At O'Clock this morning fully
one-third Of the Carroll plant was in ruins
The firemen and employees Of the company
did heroic work. The origin OF the FIRE Ia
as yet unknown. The works have always
been thoroughly provided with dre pa
troll and with the best possible defenses
against . conhagration. There is more
than m idle suspicion that the destruction
OF the smelter was the execution OF q
plan we'll laid and fully carried out. The
loss will be fully q million dollars.
Nothing can be said as regards the inten.
tions Of the company. Mr.. DAILY 10 busily
engaged Ia looking over the ruins, and says
at present he can make no statement for
the public. There has been no one hurt or
injured as far a. learned. The fremen
distinguished themselves for their daring
and their efforts 20 subdue the flames
