MRS. LANDT OR MRS. URBACH.
The Bozeman.Livingston Woman Again
BObs Into NOtOricty.

The BOzeman-LivIngsto Woman Agar
Bobs Into Notoriety.
The Indications are that Mrs. Elfrida
Landt-Urbach, late of Livingston ant
Bozeman, will become as notorious in Hele'
ma as she has in the former places.
She arrived here only a week e and a
once jumped into notoriety by taking q
fye-year-old boy from Bozeman agains.
the wishes OF the mother. She now figures
as complaining witness in a charge of as.
sault with a deadly weapon, which she pre-.
ferfed yesterday against August Urbacb.
her divorced husband. Urbach was placed
in jail, having been under the influence OF
liquor when arrested in the Grand Pacific
hotel in the Sixth ward,
Mrs. Urbach is q woman with dark and
piercing black eyes, and a very dark com
plexion. She dresses we'll and would readi-
ly attract attention on the street. When
she made her complaint to Judge Sanders
Yesterday, she related a good deal Of her his
been a much abused woman. She
produced q decree of divorce granted her
by Judge Henry at Livingston last October.
Urbach, her divorced husband, is about %
years Of age and several years her Junior.
She said she had only been married to him
-four months, but his conduct became I'M
endurable, and after receiving several beat
ings at his hands she applied for a divorce
and secured 1t. Previous to this she WAS
married to Mr.. Landt, q former well-known
brewer and ice man of Livingston, but he
died and she acquired his property, which
WAS real estate. Only two weeks ago she
figured prominently in the suicide of Fritz
Albers, a butcher at Bozeman, and acquired
an unsayory reputation at that place.
Gus Urbach is q fireman on the North
ern Pacific and Mrs. Urbach claims that he
has been following her around and threat
ening her life; that in order to keep away
from him she rented a house near the rail-
road round-house in the Sixth ward. Ac-
cording to her own story, yesterday
she and Urbach were walking together
when she called him into the
hallway Of the hotel and subsequently
hailed a policeman and had Urbach arrest

"urbach's poor. g~ray-haired father, who
was such a good man, She also said Ur-
bach blew i'm $1,000 of her money; that
she gave him $500 when they were divorced,
and would be willing to take him back and
keep him if he would only try to behave
himself. The woman has no witness to
prove that Urbach drew A knife on her, but
She will have a chance to prove it in the
police court to-day. She spoke yesterday
of killing herself if Urbach was permitted
to roam at viii! and pergecute her. It would
greatly please her If she knew he could be
locked up for an indefinite period.
Urbach was found in jail crying like a
child and said he was continually being put
in trouble by this woman, and between sobs
tried to relate several instances of the al
legged persecution.

The lowest temperature reached this win.
ter, was two degrees below on the 10th Of
this month. This only lasted a few hours,
because OH the next day, the 18th. it went
to II above, and has continued to rise every
day since, on the 18th reaching the maxi
around 80 all day. and the barometer indi-
Gated there would probably not be a change
for at least s~eventy-two hours. One pecu-
liar fact in comparing this year with last
will be found in the snowfall. Almost
every n believes there was q greater
amount OF the beautiful dropped from the
clouds up to this time last year than has
~ not the case. September. 1890 to January
], VIC had eighteen inches of snowfall. while
in 1889 up to Jan. /, there were but four
teen inchea. This year it has not been no.
ticed 30 much because it has melted almost
as soon as il fell.
Those who lived in Montana in 1877 say
that was such another winter as this that
year., and that it was followed by a very
wet spring. Stock Inspector Smith, OF Gus
ter county, who was in Helena yesterday,
said he had just had n hundred-mile drive
over the Custer ranges and that cattle are
rolling fat. There is plenty of feed and
water and the open winter has been q god
Q for the cattlemen.
II has no only been a good thing for
those who have cattle OF a thousand hills,
tut also for the carpenters. bricklayers and
other mechanics in Helena. There has not
been n day since last March when building
operations have been retarded by the
weather, and with the exception Of ten
days when there was a fall OF wet snow, the
men have worked in their shirt-sleeves.
Those merchants who laid in stocks of
heavy winter wearing apparel and find no
sale for it, and coal and wood dealers whose
wares are not in great demand. are the
only people not altogether satisfied with
the American Italy-Montana.

The BODY Of the Coliseum Suicide shipped
TO Leadyiiie.
After Charles +. Barker struck a wrong
chord on Saturday and sent q bullet
through his brain, tho other members OF
the Coliseum orchestra, the performers and
the Musicians union determined that he
should have Il big funeral. They bought a
fine casket and had the body enclosed in it
to be sent to the young mans father in
Leadyille. People OF the class to which
Barker belonged are ever ready to respond
to any call Of the kind, and IL this case
they did it quite literally. The funeral
took place from the undertaking establish
ment Of u. L. Flaherty, on Warren street.
The body was in the small room and but
few were admitted to view it. Before the
procession moved for the Montana Central
depot the Coliseum band OF twenty pieces
played a difge, and in a short time quite a
croWdc collected to witness the last cere-
mony. The crowd standing around was
very respectful and many o head was un-
covered AZ the casket was placed in tho
hearse. Some, acquainted with the cir
cumstances of the death, expressed sorrow
that one SO young had found life not worth
the living. The pail bearers took positions
on each side tho hearse, the band struck up
it's mournful melody and the march to the
depot began. The procession moved
up Warren street to Broadway,
to Main street and thence to the de-
pot. Nick Williams, the manager
OF the Coliseum, marched in front. be-
hind him, III two long lipes, came the band,
and after them the members Of the musical
union and the male performers Of the Coli
scum. Then carns the hearse. Carriages
followed containing The female performers
and other friends Of the dead musician.
In tho carriage directly in the rear OF the
hearse sat the portly proprietress of the
Coliseum, with an expression Of grief on
her countenance. Some Of the other women
in the carriages we're in tears and the faces
Of the men we're grave. All seemed to he
impressed with the true spirit of the occa-
sion. Even the band played ~ il it felt tho
of one OF its pieces. The slow meas
tread OF the m%archers, and the doleful
strains Of the music, aS the funeral made
it's way down the busy t~horoughfare, caused
the hack drivers to turn aside and give
the cortego n clear track. At the depot
Louis De Lsstry, president of the Must
Giants union, read the services for tho dead
as prescribed by the rules Of that organiza-
lion. The coffin WAS placed in the baggage
car and in q few minutes the train. with It's
load Of living freight and it's dead was on
ito way south. Then the band and mourn
ers marched briskly back to the tune Of a
lively waltz.

or the prosecution that Mr.. Kingman said

cstifled that young Brass delivered the
milk. Herman Brass did not figure ut all.

The Brig Tahiti With 800 Gilbert Island
ers Believed to Have Foundered
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.--A private
dispatch received from Manzanillo,
Mexico, gives pretty good proof that the
brig Tahiti and the 20 Gilbert Island
ers on board, who were under contrac t
for the coffee plantations of San Benito,
Mexico, have been lost at sea.
The brig touched at brakes Bay,
near San Francisco, in Septem Der last.
an | though the islanders were seen to
be virtually slaves, no action was taken
to stop the traffic. The Anne rican
steamer Roseville arrived at Man
zanillo on FHday from IsIapa, and
her captain reported that the Roseville
passed the wreck of the Tahiti eleven
miles southwest of Lizard Point.
She was floating bottom up, with ruI =
der gone and ballast badly shifted. 1t
was evident that the brig had capsizeu
while on the starDoard tack, as all the
port rigging had been cut away in an
attempt to prevent her going over.

CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 3O.-There ia
not little excitement here over Sena-
tor Chambers letter from Washington,
in the case of Murderer Almy, now
waiting the death penalty here. The
Senator's opinion that Almy has fair
ly good chance to cheat the gallows is
causing much discussion. In his letter
he says:

was repeated. Every body's life was

climax of absurdity, the prisoner was
removed to the State prison without the
sentence of death being announced to
him, and waited in pris on a week before
he knew it,
