GREAT FALLS, July 9.-lSpecial. The
death of the woman calling herself Mrs.
j. c. Gal!nghcr is yet causing much COM
mont. A feeling prevails that she WAS
much better than the man vino SO shame
fully treated her. He has been, it is said,
an inmate of Deer Lodge prison, and has
gone under several aliases. 1t is learned
that she joined him soon after his leaving
the penitentiary, leaving her husband. The
woman's maiden name is supposed to have
been Gordon. She came out from Ohio to
work at hotel in Benton and married
Henneberry, a travelling man, in 1881.
1t was proved at the inquest that;the pris-
oner struck the woman and that the jar on
the weakened tissures caused the burst
ing of blood vessel, this hem
orrhage of the brain causing the
prolonged unconsciousness, from which she
never rallied. There was no evidence OF
anything in the stomach to show that she
had been POISONED, which destroys the the
ory of suicide. The coroner's jury met al
10 o'clock to hear the doctors' testimony
which was as above stated. After hearing
the testimony the jury returned a verdict
holding the prisoner, and his preliminary
trial will be held next week. The remain.

Office Did no Wrong.
M1ssouLA, July 9.-[Special. Some time
since instructions were received to throw
out certain testimony in the Thompson

ing. Register Fisher said this morning
that in hearing this testimony the Missoula
office had violated no law; that the Office
had no authority to compel the attendance
of witnesses at any place of hearing, which,
in this case was Thompson Falls. As sew
eral very important witnesses. among whom
were Marcus DAILY and Thomas Conca, had
refused to attend a hearing at Th omp-
son Falls commissioners were ap-
pointed to take the depositions of
such witnesses at Butte and
Anaconda and Mr.. Fisher had violated no
law in so doing. The case is very import
ant one, involving title to land on which
all the principal business houses and resi-
dences of Thompson Falls have been
erected, as we'll rs involving several fine
points in law. The testimony of various
experts on the exact quality of the clay
found on the land was somewhat conflict
| ing and the depositions given by MIR. DAILY
and Mr.. Couch were very important to tho
fire clay people, they having shipped con-
siderable of the clay to the smelling works
controlled by those gentlemen.
