SOME SHOOTING DONE.
The Family Troubles of Patrick Burns
of Dublin Gulcl,

The Family Troubles of Patrick Burns
of Dublin Gulch.
BUTTE, April 14.-[special. THE home
OF Patrick Burns in Dublin Gulcb, this
city. was the scene of mild shooting
scrape at 1920 this morning. For some
past an uncouth person by the name of
Lennon has been 4ourting Mrs. Burns with
more or less success. Burns naturally OBJ
jected to this and trouble resulted. On
several occasions Lennon and his paramour
doubled teams on Burns and gave him the
worst of it. All of the parties have been
under arrest at different times, sometimes
one side being the plaintiff aud some
times the other. The difficulty eliminated
this morning in shooting scrape in which
Lennon was shot through the arm by Burns,
and both are now in Jail. 1t seems that
Lennon was drunk and endeavored to enter
the Burns residence several times during
the night, but was not admitted. Burns
finally got tired of the nuisance and, OPEN
ing the door, turned loose on the CAV
Lothario with pistol. He only succeeded
in lodging ball in lemons arm, but saws
he shot to kill, and is sorry he was such
poor marksman.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Some days ago
Superintendent of Census Porter received
from S. MoLallin, editor of the Advocate,
a farmers alliance newspaper, published
at Topeka, kas., a letter criticizing the
work of the bureau in its farm mortgage
investigation, alleging, among other things,
that it was being conducted for party pur-
poses. In reply to this letter the superin-
tendent has written McLallin that .'there
is no evidence. nor is it fact, that the
census Office has conducted the mortgage
investigation for paytizan purposes. 1t
simply has been to ascertain the truth, and
as far as possible the whole truth in
regard to the recorded indebtedness
of the people of the United States"
At the present time the census Office is
the collection of facts in regard
to farm and home ownership in Kansas and
neighboring states and needs the CO opera
ton of farmers, at whose request the in
vestigation has been undertaken.

aoanowlhR l.aR regarding the peculiar circum-
stances now being investigated by federal
grand jury at Chicago. "In conclusion
wish to say that inasmuch as the papers
nave been teeming with what is commonly
ca,lsd ,nnnid 'he Gibson case,' the stockholders
Wouid naturally expect from the board
some reference to the matter. Gibson de-
clared to us his innocence, and after in
vestigating the matter 80 far as lies
Witnln our power, we have no reason
70 doubt his statement, aud further that as
lohg rs we are connected with this company
we VIII run 1t as straight and upright as has
cnaracterlzed our business from the begin
nlnR OF the Organization" No action was
taken on the subject by the meeting. A
inll board of nine directors were elected.
Eight od directors were chosen and one
new one, Julius Il. French, wealthy
business man of Cleveland. Sales by
the company for the past year aggre-
GATED 44,73s III gallons, an increase of
nearly 100000 gallons over the sales of the
preceding year, and of nearly 100000 gal
Ions over the sales of the twelve months
endlng two years ago. Regarding tests
with the new Japanese method of distil-
lation the presidents report says the
preliminary indications were very
favorable and if confirmed nv
later developments will revolu-
tonne the business, with advantages to the
trust which are incalculable. The trust has
exclusive control of the patent.

CHICAGO, April 15.-The war between the
executive committee of the lady managers
OF the Worlds fair and the secretary,
Phnbe Couzens, was brought to a climax
to-day by the refusal of Miss Couzens to
recognize the authority of subcommittee,
headed by Mrs. Potter Palmer. Miss Couz-
ems said she would neither retire
nor appear before the committee; that
she was legally member of the
board of lady managers and was not amen
able to discipline from the executive com
inittee. She also declared that if this COM

appeal to the courts. Fear is quite gen

may entirely disrupt the board of lady
managers, as Mrs. Palmer, 1t is pointed out
ls woman Of great ability and determi-
nation of character, and Miss Couzens has
legal education and a remarkable record as

Comment ON the Correspondence.

LONDON April 15.--The Times, comment
ing on the American-Italian correspond
ence, says: ''rhe American union WAS
nearly rent asunder a generation ago on
the quest tion of state rights. Now, when
old sectional feuds are almost forgotten,
it would be the extremity of folly to revive
the conflict. Italy appears to have acted
without careful consideration. MARQUIS

and logical victory. and he has naturally
made the most of Italy's mistake in recall
ing Baron Faya on the assumption that
Justice would not be done to the Iynohers."
