MR.. MURPHY TAKES 1T HARD.

He Enters In the Great Race for Judge
Davis Millions.
BY the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, April 3.-Another chapter in the
contest over the millions Of the late Judge
Davis was enacted to-day when Pub
lie Administrator James w. Murphy fled
an application in the district court for
letters Of administration of the deceased
millionaire's estate. Mr.. Murphy sets
forth that as Judge Davis died without
leaving any will and a contest Is likely to
result between rival claimants TO the es-
tate M as there seems to have beer no
competent person In charge of the estate
he should he placed in charge until
the rightful heirs have been determined.
Mr.. Murphy's petition will come up for
hearing In the district court at 10 o'clock
on Saturday. This mornings STANDARD
contained an accoun Of the arrival in
the city OF ayoung man from Iowa named
Il. Jefferson Davis. who claims TO be a
son Of the late A.J. Davis. There seems
to be little doubt in them minds Of the peo-
pie here who were most intimate with the
late A. j. Davis that he was married in
Iowa and that the young man now in this
city is his son. Some of the best
legal talent i'm this city and the
east has been engaged by the
young gentleman to prosecute his claim
as heir to all Judge Davis's millions. Hon.
q. w. Stapleton among others has been
retained in the case and young Davis's
application for letters of administration
will be heard in the district court on the
1ith of April. There are therefore now
three applications for letters of admins
tration of his estate on file pending de-
cision in the district cour and n lively
fight may he expected. Young Davis de-
clares he has plenty OF money and will
spend every cent il necessary
legitimate son of Judge Davis
N heir to his fortune. Some of Judge
Davis relatives are disposed to treat as a
huge joke the pretensions of the young
stranger from Iowa. But nevertheless he
is strongly fortified i'm his claims by pow
erful friends and plentiful proofs.

a pool of blood and was covered only by
a light chemise. On the right side of her

that the murder was commit ID in the adj
Joining bedroom. The bed-clothes were
covered with blood which was spattered
around the room. Finger marks were on
the wall. indicating that a struggle had
taken place. Beneath the pillow a dirk
sheath was found and on the floor were a
pair of Chinaman's shoes filed with
blood.
The inquest showed that a few hours
before a Chinaman was seen running up
an adjoining street barefooted ana only
partially dressed. He carried a bundle in
his hand. He was traced to a Chinese

"A dirk knife which exactly fits the sheath.
Eleven Cinnamon in the house were

a gang of hoodlums, ranging from II to
IL years and older. Almost every night
they sally forth, and ruin and wreck al
ways mark their visits the following

ried away and wagons taken apart and

How the Venemous Reptile Decoys Fire
flies Within It's Reach.
From the jewelers. Weekly.
The natives of the Indian jungles believe that
cobras carry precious stones about with them,
and at night coil in the grass to watch them
glitter. Professor Hensodt, the Indian traveller,
says: zone night native called me to see this
wonder. Close to the waters edge stood an i'm
mense tamarind tree and within fifty yards of it
the coolie halted. and mysterously pointed to
the root of the tree. A foot from the trunk L
observed in the grass greenish light, apparently
proceeding from single point. After a time /
could see the cobra coiled near the foot of the
tree slowly swaying to and fro in front Of the
shining object.
UNFORTUNATELY had no gun and my guide
who seemed to feel that he was responsible for
my safety, entreated me earnestly to let the
promised to bring me this stone within three
days. The coolie kept his word for the second
morning afterward he brought the stone. He
had climbed the tamarind tree before dark
and after the snake had taken up his position he
had emptied bag of ashes upon the stone. The
frightened reptile, after chasing about for
awhile trying to find his treasure, had gone off.
The coolie remained in his safe position until
daylight, when he descended the tree dug the
stone out of the ashes, and here it was in my
hand.
:" The cobra stone was semi-transparent,
water-worn pebble of yellowish color, about
the size of large pea, which in the dark, when
phorescent light. L found it to be chlorophane,
a rare variety of tluor spar
The mystery is not difficult to explain. Cobras
teed on insects and seem to have an especial lik-
ing for hretiies Only the male firehes fly about,
ana close observer will notice that constant
swarm OF male insects will fly near the females
which sit on the ground and emit an intermittent
glowing light. The cobra uses his phosporescent
stone as a decoy for the tiretiies Competition
would lead to the snakes sezing and carrying
itary."
