Mrs. Davis, charging her with adultery.
Mrs. st. John was locked up in cell at
the jail, while Mrs. Davis was given apart

was released on 800 bonds to-day. She
said to-day that she did not care the snap

He denies that he left town with her and

which his wife said no borrowed from her
sister, he said that the money in the first
place did not belong to the sister but was
borrowed from another party, for which
Davis gave his personal note. The slater
claimed some title to the money and when
the notes were due they were turned by her
over to Mrs. Davis. Davis says that NIL Of
tho money except $500 was used up by him
and his wifoin living expenses and unprofit-
able business ventures over in Helena.
When he decided to leave his wife last
spring, he. through Fl. III. Guthtie. his bust

notes held by her, and when he finally did
leave her in June, he endorsed to her II note
for 81, 600 more which she afterward sold to

that when he left her he had great deal
less money than she had besides she had
all their household furniture and piano.

don't at Boulder Hot Springs.
BOULDER, Dec. 27.-[Speoial. ]-The ball
given at the Boulder Hot Springs on Christ
mas night, was followed by a serious, and
what came near being fatal accident.
As the four horse team belonging to the
Springs hotel was coming down the long
hill between the lake and Boulder, loaded
down with people returning from the dance,
the tugs Of one of the horses became de-
tached. The horses became frightened
and unmanageabls and started to run and
ierked the driver, James Hauk, from his
seat. He fell to the ground, but held on
the lines and turned the horses so that they
run in circle. The big bus was too top
heavy and finally tipped over, precipitating
the load of human freight to the frozen
ground. That they were not all killed is
due wholly to the efforts of the driver.
Those most seriously hurt are as follows:
Frank Harlow. knee cap knocked loose and
seriously bruised about the body and head;

of the others were seriously hurt but all
were more or less bruised.

Serious Accident to a yestIbuled Train on
the Santa Fe.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Dec. 27.-The Santa
Fe vestibuled limited, which left Chicago
Saturday evening, was derailed at Bear
Creek, near Newcombe, seventy-tive miles
east of here, this morning. No one YVES
killed, but several we're injured. The en-
glne and the baggage and express cars
passed over the small bridge safely, but two
chair cars, two Pullman sleepers and a
dining car were derailed, going down the
steep embankment. The injured are Con-
ductor Woodworth, William Kaston. Chi
ccago; Charles Dempsey. Mansfield, Ohio;
Mrs. Eliza Toomey, Marion, Kan.; G. w.
Scott, Chicago; J. r. Whiteford, Topeka,
KAN; Vim. Drecker. wife and two children

Watson, Topeka, Kan; d. D. Smith, Chi
cago. Some of them are thought to be
fatally injured.
The cause of the accident ia unknown.
The track seemed to be in good condition,
a heavy freight train having passed safely
over short time before. 1t is thought the
draw bar of the front chair car may have
fallen and caught the trunk of the same
car, thus causing the derailment.

BARBAROUs LEGISLATION.
A French Opinion on the Mckinley Law
and Its Effects.

A French Opinion on the Mckinley Law
and Its Effects.
PARIS, Dec. 27.-Tiard, formerly French
minister of finance, in an interview on the
subject of the negotiations for a CONNER
cial treaty between France and the United
States, said: "Treaties of this kind are
usual as modus vidi between countries
which have tariffs 80 high that they paralyze
trade. The treaty with the United States
will be extremely oprortune and 20 long
way to insure an enthusiastic participation
in the Chicago fair. The Mckinley law
has 30 much harmed our trade that l would
favor going to the United States for staples
only when it is impossible to obtain what
we need elsewhere 1t is barbar-
GUS piece of legislation. and has
caused great ill-feeling in France. The
whole law is due to an error of judgment.
The Americans argued that az their ex-
ports are natural products which other ma
tionH must have, they would be sure to find
buyers, and so could shut their ports to
foreign manufaotu ,ers. This reasoning is
fallacious. Look how England has de.
veloped since she adopted free trade. Ii
the United States would adopt like policy,
America would soon govern the markets OF
the whole world. In France. where it is
impossible to develope resources further
there is some excuse for protection, but
not in America, where the possibilities of
development are unbounded."

Ten Persons Crushed to Death and Nearly

scene Of n frightful panic, in which, ac-
cording to the reports received, at least ten
people were killed outright and many in
jured The sight of a small blazs caused
by man in the audience dropping a
lighted match on the sawdust covered
floor, caused Some one to start the cry Of
Fire" Immediately there was a wild
scramble for tine doors, which, owing to
the savage rush, became SO blocked that
only few succeeded in getting out The
staircase lending from the gallery also
became blocked. A check taker who at
tempted to restrain the crowd was crushed
to death under foot. When the panic
subsidized the bodies of nine children, who 20
lives had been literally crushed out. were
found lying on the staircase.
The attraction for the evening was the
pantomime Aladdin" the theater being
packed. The shout of "Fire" was raised
at 1030 o'clock, and instantly thore was
dread confusion. in which, above ALL was
heard the shrieks of women, many of whom
tainted The lessee of tho house, immedi-
ately stepping on the stage, shouted to the
audience to remain seated, assuring them
there was no real danger. Many others
attempted to restrain the mad rush for the
doors.
1t was a sudden bend in the gallery stair
case which caused the fearful jam there
People who had fallen, and who were lying
IN heaps, screaming and groanlng, were
tramped upon. At last SO many struggling
people had fallen that all tho passages for
exit were effectually blocked by the mass
of writhing human beings, and those still
remaining on their feet were forced to sock
other means of escape. Most of those on
the first floor escaped. Tho members of
the company escaped in their costumes,
and when they returned to the dressing
rooms had been robbed of their ordinary
clothing.
The occasion was made doubly memor-
able by several acts of heroism. One man
who occupied q gallery seat jumped from
the gallery railings to the balcony below,
and slid thence to the stage, all the time
holding child with his teeth. Other men
rescued several women i'll a similar manner.

One child, after calling out piteously "Save
me, save me- died before it could be
reached. A constable who came to assist in
the work of rescus, in dragging out body
wedged among the struggling people, dis
covered it was the body of his own son.
News of the disaster spread rapidly and
soon thousands Of frantic people were
rushing to the scene to ascertain the fate of
or friends. Within few hours
all the dead were identified. With the ex-
ception of one, all were between the ages of
13 and 16.

he will give the proceeds of the performances
