THE ROLLER CASE UP.
Damaging Evidence Against a
Well-KnOWn Man About Town.

The Roller divorce case was up in
court yesterday, or, rather, one OF the
Roller cases was. There are two Roll
Ter suits pending, In one of which the
wife is plaintiff and In the other defend
ant. The case heard yesterday was that
Of Mrs. Leila w. Roller vs.. P. P. Roller,
and it came upon motion that Mrs.
Roller be allowed temporary allmOny
pending the hearing of the application
for divorce. The motion was made be-
fore Judge Hooker, and Mr.. Rollers
attorneys were on hand prepared to
contest the motion. As a reason why
Mrs. Rollers motion should not be
I granted they stated that they were
ready to prove every allegation
for divorce, to the effect that Mrs.
Roller had lived in open adultery with
Frank A. Nimocks. A photograph of
Nimocks, alleged to have been taken
from Mrs. Rollers watch case was
shown, and some TRANSACTIONS of entries
in shorthand in little diary, said to
have been owned and used by Mrs.
Roller, were read. They ran thus:
Jan. 8, Tuesday, 1888: Mrs. Wilson and
her friend called and found my Frank here.

how all this will end. We had long talk

from harm.

not doubt me, for I never deceived him In
any way.
The court then prohibited the reading
of any more entries until it should have
been conelusively proved that the en-
tries had been written by Mrs. Roller.
The husbands attorney stated that his
client would swear TO all that, and that
an affidavit to that effect was presented
in court. Other evidence was intro
duced to prove that Mrs. Roller owned
: the book. and the matter was taken un-
der advisement.

BRAME CLEARED.
The Whole Disgracerul Story Told

Inc w mole DISgraCeIui story TOI0
to Judge Hooker.
Judge Hooker sat on the bench yes.
terday and listened to the detailed
stories of the Long-Brame fight in the
office of Referee Kneisley. Brame's &C.
count was substantially as it has been
told before. The referee was under
Longs thumb, and took only such parts
of the testimony as Long requested.
Then after the hearing had been adj
journed, Long called Brame a liar.
Brame punched Longs head, Kneisley
and Brame clinehed, and Long struck
Brame with notarial seal. Brame
went to the wash basin and removed
the traces of gore and, when
he came back, Kneisley grasped that
same notarial seal and threatened to
brain him if he did not get out. He got.
That was substantially all of Brame's
story. There was good deal of bicker-
ing and calling of names during the
trial, and, when the argu ments had been
finished. Judge Hooker dismissed the
contempt proceedings against Brame,
remarking that it was most disgracel
full affair aud that Long seemed to be to
blame for much of it.

A good many persons had visited the
new building in the afternoon, but the
crush did not begin until little after s.
Then for about three hours breathing
was difficult. No estimate can be made
as to the number of persons who visited
that place last night, but, judging from
the crowds, at least $4,000 people must
have gone inside the doors. On every
floor was a multitude. Such thing as
walking was an impOssibility. All one
could do was to drift with the mass.
There seemed to be not an inch of
vacant space within the mighty struc-
ture. Most of them came for sight
seeing; many came for pleas
ure. and they found it IN
goodly quantities. The offices on
the third and eleventh floors had been
thrown open for the dancers, and well
was the opportunity for keeping time to
the reythmic measures of the dance ap-
appreciated. Five bands supplied the
music for the evening, four of them be-

floor refreshments for all were served.
There was nothing absent that could
add to the pleasure of the evening, and.

its size, was excellently we'll handled

MUST PAY TAXES.
Bennett Seminary Can No Longer
Be Exempt.

Judge Hooker's decision on the Ben
nett seminary tax case has been upheld
by the supreme court. The seminary
for long time has escaped taxation
under the law exempting school prop
erty, but County Attorney Jamison
took the matter into court on the ground
that the school property must be taxed
unless the title to the property were
vested in the school. D. G. Bell and
William Mahoney own the property and
merely rent it to the seminary, hence
Judge Hooker sustained Jamison and is
now himself sustained by the supreme
court.

The following, from an exchange,

Some years ago Posy county man
went out wert. He became presi-
dent of bank, president of water
works company, and owned the cleo
trio light plant. One fine day the
bank closed ITS doors, the supply Of
water was exhausted, and that night
there wasn't bit of electric light in
town. An outraged community with
a rope called on the Posev county
man, and, after standing him on =
box, asked him if he had anything to
say?
sNot much. The banks busted.
There isn't drop of water within
two miles, and the electric light plant
has shocked itself to death. In or

gest thai you cut nae up into little

Moscow STAR OF IDAHO: Or

Moscow STAR OF IDAHO: Our
special correspondent who visited the
scene Of the wreck near Hay Station
last Sunday morning describes 1t as
simply awful in its destructive grand
eur. Chaotic confusion holds sway,
desolation presides, and the wonder
fol power of accumulated force as II
gathered itself on its terrific descent
down the bill, eliminating at the
curve, where the train took the fatal
plunge into the canyon below, all be-
speak OF the mightiness of power, in
this case uncomfortable by its guild
ing spirit-man. One car piled up
on another, the locomotive turning
clear around in the air and landing
again upon its wheels IN proper po-
siiion to he drawn back up on to the
rails forty feet above it, great masses
of grain in bulk, in sacks and scat
tered everywhere; ponderous freight
cars completely bottom side up, their
wheels in mid air, Others standing OH
end evenly balanced, the track left
undisturbed and scarcely marred.
from the terrific speed of ninety milee
an hour attained by the runaway
train, but more horrid than all the
two precious human lives whose
lights we're so suddenly extiuguished
like the lightning fash, all bespeak
of the dangers of railroad travel on
the steep grades of the Northwest.
