Helen Forstund Arrested at Helena, Mont,
for Highway Robbery.

HELENA, MoNT., Oct. E.-Ihe highway
lady, arrested here Friday while attempting
to leave town in mans attire proves TO be a
ncrvy youn. woman. She is also versatile
preyaricatOr.
Her name has been discovered from letters
in her possession. Instead of being Bert o
Miller she IL ielen Forstund. and her parents
live not far from Spokane Falls. Washington.
Helen was the baby and beauty of the family,
but her waywardness has been source of
deep grief 70 her relatives. Saturday the
city marshal secured complete outfit of
woman's wear and the female convict donned
the attire OF her sex. in which she presented
quite striking appearance. She soon tired
OF the limitations of corset and skirt, h. W.
ever, and again appeared at the cell-door in
cutaway and trousers The fact that a trail
OF blood was found along the route of the re-
treating thug who shot Policeman Grogan.
and the man Clark denied that he knew that
she was woman. has given rise to a suspi-
ciOn that she ira ped Clark TO cover the re-
treat of third person, who was probably her
sweetheart
Grogan was confident he had winged the
fleeing footpad who shot him, but neither the
man Clark nor the woman Forstund bears
scratch. Some of the exploits Helen claims
credit for are already discredited. but her de-
scription tsllies with that of the author of two
or three bold acts in Butte.
Clark has been positively identified by the
mounted officer and 10y both the victims of his
rObberies. and O watch belonging TO one IF
them was found on his person. The girl is
held as an accomplice. and the only evidence
against her is her own confessions and the
watch OF one Of Clark's victims, found on her
person

DOCTORS DISAGREE.
why the Mississippi Valley Medical Conyen.
tIOD May be n Failure.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 12.-From present in.
dications the convention of the Mississippi
Valley Medical Association, which is booked
here October l4th to 10th, will not be success.
owing ton war between the local practitioners.
formalreslgnatlOns OF certain conferred hOnors
were IN the past few days addressed TO Dr. l..
n. Love, chairman of the committee on ar
rangements, by various physicians who were
invited TO attend the convention. Fully fifty
Of the most prominent have stated that they
will not only not participate in the proceed
ings of the convention, but they will not con-
tribute a cent to.defray the expenses Of the
meeting.
This state Of affairs was brought about. it is
said. through the extreme partiality shown to
graduates of Marion Sims College, which. by
the way. has aroused the enmity of the med
lcal profession because of its opposition to
the three years course of study instead Of
two, as at present. Another reason assigned
by the defective element for their withdrawal
is that they have not been invited 10 parti-
cipate in the proceedings further than 10
remit check toward the liquidation of conven-
tiOn expenses.
On the other hand, the chairman of the
committee of arrangements and several other
doctors say that the refusal of any number
of St. Louis physicians TO attend will not de-
tract from the general success of the cOnven-
ton, as the membership embraces medical
men from 1t. Paul TO New Orleans The
means for the entertainment of visiting dele
gates will be ample and all guests will be
royalty entertained.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct 12.-The Supreme
Court Of the United States convened for ts
October term at noon to-day. There were
three absentees. Chief-Justice Fuller. who is
in Chicago where his daughter is critically i'll;
Justice Bradley. who is i'll in this city. and
Justice Gray, who is conyalescing from an at
tack OF typhoid fever at his home in Massa-
chussets. The contracted space of the court
room was crowded with attorneys and specta-
tors. The members OF the court took their
seats; among those present were ex-Attor-
y-Genera,G ,Garland. ex-senator Henderson,
Attorney General Miller, Solicitor eneral
Taft and Hon. John Moon. ex Assistant Sec
retary of State. Justice Field presided IN the
absence of the Chief Justice. lie announced
tuat the important cases previously advanced,
to be heard to morrow. would be postponed
until tho second Monday IN November. This
Is TO allow the arguments to be heard by q full
bench. The Sayward, OF Behring Sea case.
will be the first called. Among the other
important cases that come under the
postponement are the cases involving the
question OF the constItutlonality of the Nc
hinley tarIl bill. the elevator cases and those
to test the constltutIonality of the lottery law.
After the brief announcement made by JUS
tice Field the court ad lOurned until tO-lnor-

the President OF the United states IN q body
In accordance with the custom on opening

IN BEHALF OF THE ANARCHISTS.
In the Supreme Court of the United States
tomorrow Moses Saioman. of Chicago. rs
attorney Tor fielden ami Schawb, the An
archists who were committed to the Joliet
penitentiary for life at the time Spies and
Ling were condemned 10 death for the muir
der Of the policemen at the Haymarket
riot in Chicago. will file rapers in
two cases to secure the release of the
two convicts and he will then move
that the case be advanced. This mat
ter it is believed, will be granted.
fieldens case comes TO the Federal Supreme
Court by an allowance of writ of
error by the Supreme Court of Illinois. Mr..
Saloman contends in his brief that the llli-
nois Supreme Court violated the constitu-
tional right of tielden when it refused to
amend the record of the case having Mr..
fielden present when the sentence was af-
frmed, when, in fact, he was not pres
ent. and that the sentence of the
Illinois court, therefore, is void the
court having no power to sentence him to
death in his absence. The case of Schwab
Is brought TO the Federal Supreme Court as
an appeal from the denial for rehearing by
Judge Gresham. of the Illinois Supreme
Court. Schwab's release is asked on the
ground that he is confined in "a penitentiary
on commutation by the Governor, and that
the Governors warrant has no authority
whatever for the confinement of any person
in the penltentiary. General h. Il. Butler is
associated with Dir. SalOman in these cases.

LOUISVILLE, KY.
CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD.
Why the Association Team I'm Boston is En-
titled to the Honor.


LOUISVILLE, Oct. 12.-The following letter
from President Phelps to the Boston Associa-
ton club declares that team to be champions
of the world, and is self-explanatory:
Louisville. Oct. 1.-The Boston Association
Ball Club. Boston. Mass: Gentlemen.-I have
in your behalf formally challenged the League
pennant winners through the League presi-
dent, Mr. oung. for series of games for
the worlds championship, but ne has
declined. lon have made a like challenge
direct TO the club and it has been likewise
declined. OF course in refusing the old pre-
text of Cant because of the national agree
Inent' is offered.
But this is 50 apparently mere dodge that
il deceiyes no one. There can, of course, be
no agreement except there be at least two par
ties thereto, and the League alone IS now a
party to what they are pleased 10 call the ma
tional agreement. Ii is true. as said by Mr.
Young. we are invited to come. make confes-
sions of our sins and be permitted TO live
under il, but il that instrument is to be in the
future AS il has N the past a mere cloak TO the
League FOR its domination and oppression of
clubs and players, we cannot, nor can any
other associat on or league submit to it's yoke.
In view OF these refusals and because you
have won your pennant upon your merits by
honest play, | feel justified in saying that
during the coming season the Association
club of Boston is entitled to the honor of
bearing the worlds championship flag during
the season of 1872. Proper provisions will be
made 10 deliver the flag
With best wishes. Very truly yours.
ZACH. PHELPS. President.
