GREAT FALLS, June 24.-[Special to tn G

from Belt that there is considerable blood
on the Balm wagon which the murderer
WILDER had traded there for the spring
wagon which he brought to town. He also
writes that Kurtz and Briggs had probably
81, 500 with them. What WILDER did with
this money is not known. Further search
will be made for it here. 1t is proposed to
dig up the ROor of the lodging house which
Wilber kept, as he may have buried some
victims there. Regarding the missing Irish
peddler, Dolan, known as both "Donne-
gal" and the ''Irish jew" it has come to
light that WILDER wrote back here that he
intended TO get even with the peddler for
robbing him. Ii is supposed that WILDER
murdered the man and wrote thus to divert
suspicion. Emery A. Huson came here from
Benton yesterday and Identified WiIber's
body as that of the man who acted SO sus-
piciOusly when he met him with a wagon,

BILL AGAINST BURKE
THB CHICAGO GRAND JURY INDICTS THB
WINNIPEG SUSPECT
For Oronin's Murder-Ii Was Done on LOngenecksr's
Assurance-His Picture Identified by
Nartnsen-0hsr Important
Developments.

CmCAGo June 19.-The special grand
jury in the OrOnin case gave its first indi-
cation of results at noon to-day, in the
shape of an indictment against Martin
Burke on two counts. Burke, alias Martin
Delaney, otherwise called Frank Williams,
is indicted first for murder, and secondly
for conspiracy with Coughlin, O'Sullivan
and Woodruff for the purpose of commit
ting murder.
Application will at once be made to
Governor Fifer, by an officer who is now in
Springfield, for requisitiOn papers for the
extraditiOn of Burke. These papers
properly attested, will be spread before the
State Department at Washington and the
Secretary of State will make the formal re-
quest to the Canadian government for the
surrender and extradition of Burke. The
latter is now in the custody of the Chief Of
Police at Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Chicago
officers and persons have been despatched
to the scene to further identify him.
1t wes only with reluctance that the
grand Jury this morning returned an in
dictment against Burke, and had his par
tial Identification by photograph been the
only evidence a9aist him it is safe to say
the request of Chief Hubbard and State
Attorney LOngenecker would have been
ignored and an indictment denied until
the Chicago people had proceeded to Win
nepeg and clearly identified the prisoner
as one of the Williams brothers.
The testimony of Michael Gavin, Of the
Chicago sewer department, who had known
Burke, wcs very conclusive, however, and
it was upon his evidence that the indict
ment was returned. Gavin said that he
had known Burke for long time, that he
had frequently heard the latter beast of
his friendship with O'Sullivan and Others
Of the suspected parties, and on one coca
SION Burke hsd expressed his conviction
that Oronin was an enemy Of if not trai-
tor to the Irish Cluse.
1t was announced this afternoon that no
more indictments would be returned until
the Jury was prepared to make final re-
port, and that Burke had been indicted at
this time on the united plea Of Chief Hub
bard and States Attorney Longenecker,
upon representation that it would save
time in securing his extrsdition. Chief
Hubbard, who at no time entertained
hopes that Maroney and Mcdonald,
the New York suspects, would be linden
titled as sccouplices in the murder, pins
his faith implicitly to the Burke theory
His efforts to secure an indictment last
evening were renewed by a personal plea
to the jury this morning, and it is chiefly
to Mr.. Hubbard's earnest instances that
an indictment now rests over Martin Burke.
Old man Carlson is positive in his iden-
tifcation Of Burke's Photograph as that Of
Frank Williams, who rented the cottage;
and his wife and son admit striking points
Of resemblance, although not positive in
their Identification.

CLAIMS SHE WAS HOUNDED.
And Mrs. WeIch's Damage Suit Promises
Another Garter Case.

And Mrs. WeIch's Damage Suit Promises
Another Garter Case.
CHICAGO, June ia damage suit
which gives increasing promise of local
social sensations began in Judge Anthony's
court. Thomas Burch, who, together
with William and Robert PinkertOn and
Superintendent Robertson. is being sued
for $50, 900 damages, is the Chicago agent
of the Phoenix Insurance Company of
Brooklyn. His family relations were
always regarded as most happy until Ida
Welch began her suit.
The charge is made that Burch and the
Pinkertons persecuted Mrs Welch, follow
ing her about and spreading scsndalous
stories, until her reputation was so badly
injured that her best friends refused to be-
lieve in her and turned her out, 1t wss
even reported, so the bill says, that she
was none other than the notorious Teresa
Sturlatta Stiles, the woman who shot
Charley Stiles some FIVE years ago. Ira
Welcb, husband of the plaintiff, is not as
sistiDg her in her suit. He was formerly
employed by the defendant, Burch.
Suddenly Welch left the service of the
Company, went to Kansas City, and began
divorce proceedings against his wife, but
the case never came to trial 1t is Whis-
pered that it was not pushed for the reason
that several prominent Chicago citizens
had good reasons for killing it. The wo-
man now has taken the reins in her own
hands and everything will come out.
Every Juror was slked whether he knew
Paul Morton, nephew of Vice President
Morton and General Freight Agent of the
Burlington Railroad. Paul Morton and
Burch married sisters. Mrs. Welch, who
is beautiful brunette, was prent in court
with her maid, and the case bids fair TO
eclipse the Carter divorce scandal
