MIstR's TREASURE STOLEN.


Indiana Farmer Buries $4,000 in his
Cellar and Loses 1t.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. "a David Stout,
an old man living west of this city, has
been boarding his cash for a number of
years and usually kept it buried in the
cellar. AS near as he could tell the
sum aggre gated 10000, and was all in
gold. He made visit TO a friend in
southern Indiana and while away his
nephew vas in charge of the place.
Several days ago he went to his bank
to make deposit and was surprised to
find that his money was gone. He dug
up the earth all over the cellar floor but
failed to find it. He then notified the
police, and for a week or more they
have been looking for the robbers, but
so far have no clue whatever to them
or the money. Stout has always been
looked upon by his neighbors as eccen-
trio. He inherited the farm upon which
he lives and, although working it for
all that was in 1t, he appeared never tc
have money. When he wanted to build
a small addition to his house he bor-
70 wed the money from his brother.
He had to sell his hogs in order to
riasc the money to pay his last taxes
When asked about the robbery today
Stout was not inclined to talk. "Whose
business is it anyway2" he asked. "Pve
been trying to keep this thing quiet.
Do know who took itl Well, have
my suspicious, but I aiu't going to say
anything on that score. Yes, 1t was
buried in the cellar, and it was all In
gold; how much ain't going to say.
have been putting to it and taking
away from it, and may be don't ex
actly know how much it was"

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 26.-Sickening
and heart-rending tales of suffering. in
the famine-stricken mining regions
reach the relief headquarters here
every day. The condition of the people
is appalling. Hundreds of men who were
strong and able to do any kind of work
when the mines shut down are now
emaciated and sick from starvation, ex-
posure and brooding over the calamity
that has befallen them and their fami-
lies. The death rate during the past
week was alarming. Driven to the last
extremity, reliable couriers report, the
dogs of the camps are being slaughtered
for food. Repulsive as this diet may
seem, to those with plenty, prejudice
against it is partially conquered by the
poignant pangs of huAger. Little chill
dren are kept in ignorance of the char
acter of the meat and devour 1t as
eagerly as they would the choicest beef
steak or veal outlet. Older persons
partake of it under protest. but 90 SO
they must or perish. To add to the
horror of the situation frightful bliz-
yards have swept over the district, in
tensifying the tortures of the people.
Only the most heroic charity can pre-
vent deplorable loss Of life by starva
tion in this boasted land of plenty.

SPOKANE, Dec. 26.--Preliminary steps
have been taken to organize Free
Silver Club here and several hundred
signatures have already been obtained.
Leaders in the movement estimate that
upward of 3 1000 voters In this Immediate
vicinity will eagerly identify them
selves with 1t, under pledge to carry to
the utmost extreme the doctrine that
free coinage shall be paramount to
party affiliations in all elections. At
an informal meeting last night it was
proposed that beginning be made at
the very foundation, in the election OF
ward councllmcn and other municipal
officers and extend through all elections,
including state and national-every
member of the organization pledgiug
himself never to support or vote fol
a candidate for any ONCE what
soever who is not openly, earnest
ly and avowedly In favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
The club will be formally organized I'm

A WAR FOR SILVER
Strong Organizations Pledged to Re-

A BATTLE AT THE POLLS
Candidates ON All Tickets WIN Be Re-
quired to Declare Their Fidelity
to the Cause.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. 23.-In conformity
with the suggestion made by the Mon
tana Free Coinage Association some
time ago steps are being taken toward
the organization of silver club in
Butte. Similar clubs are being organ
lied all over the United States wher-
ever there are any friends of silver,
and 1t is believed they will accomplish
a great deal for the cause of silver.
They will be strictly nonpartisan, the
intention being to exert silver infu.
ence in the conventions of either of the
old parties which seems most friendly
to silver and to get expressions from
candidates on all tickets. The candi
dates which come out in favor of silver
will be supported by the silver clubs
Tqe Butte club promises to become q
very large and influential organization

Negro Pastor Down in Alabama Arouses

BIRMINGHAm, Ala, Dec. 25.-Sam Jones
has for several weeks been carrying on
revival services here, and his customary
epithets, 'You dirty yellow hound dog"
'You imp of hell" and other such ex-
pressions, were frequently used by. the
noted evangelist to his congregation.
Parson Isaac Davidson, who presides
over small negro church few miles
from here, was regular attendant at
the meetings. He was great admirer
of Rev Mr.. Jones' style and decided to
cultivate it. Accordingly he treated
his congregation to new kind of preach
ing, which was in strong contrast to his
former meek and lowly talk
"You black devils, you imps of hell,
you old sowcat.," he began. "Kill him."
shouted big black brother who sat near
the front and to whom the preacher ap-
peared to address his remarks. "Kill
him. was echoed through the congre-
cation. The good old sisters joined in
their cry and soon the congregation was
upon him. Finally some charitable per
son suggested he was crazy and the par.
sons own wife indorsed this assertion
He was secured and watched like a
maniac and arrested for using "cuss
words" in the pulpit.

TITLE IN CONTROVERSY.
Site of Formcr County Sent Claimed
Under = Placer Patent.

>->>-c- -%Sc< ~eo.As<
BUTTE, Dec. 26.--A suit that involves
the entire townsite and all the buildings
and improvements of the old town of
Silver Bow, valued at several hundred
thousand dollars, is pending before
Judge Speer. William Matthes is the
plaintiff in the case. He claims to own
fourth interest il the townsite and
wants the court to order partition.
According TO his story he Joined with
Christian Nissler, william Stolte and a
man named Totten in locating 30 acres
of placer ground on the present site of
Silver Bow, and In August, 1893, they
obtained a patent and each was to have
an equal interest In the ground and
were to be tenants In common. Some
time later Toeten sold his fourth in
terest to Nissler, and the latter, 1t Is
alleged, appropriated large part of
the whole placer without any right
whatever, and against the interest of
Matthes, erected buildings on the
ground. Matthes says the partition
was properly made and that he has
been practically crowded out.
The town was years ago the county
seat of Deer Lodge county and at one
time busy trading point, but of late
years has been almost deserted with
the exception of Nlssler's big brewery,
Matthes' butcher shop and Stolte's
hotel Nissler now occupies about
the only valuable ground In the town,
Stolte the next best, while Matthes has
little water-washed corner on the
creek at one end of the town.
On the other hand Nissler claims
that in 1871 he squatted on the present
townsite, which was then part of the
public domain, and built a house
Stolte soon followed and erected hotel
and later Matthes came with hi
butchershop and then Totten driftet
In too. They each appropriated tn,
ground at present occupied by their re
spective selves and lived there To-
some years when they concluded, as
matter of self protection, to secure
patent, in which the four were to joil
with the expressed understanding tina
each should retain his original portion
and not make claim to the groun,
occupied by the others or any of them
With this understanding Nissler borgh
the Totten fourth interest and the
built his brewery, ice houses and res
dence and other improvements at =
expense Of 100000, upon which he ha
ever since been paying taxes. Stolt
also improved his holding at cost c
$4,000 or more, while Matthes e,
pended little or nothing.

GREAU FALLS, Dec. 26.--Coal is be-
ginning to move from the mines of the
Belt Coke and Coal Company to Ana
conda. Eighteen cars went out over
the Montana Central Wednesday to be
loaded for this destination. The people
of Belt and Armington are very much
pleased with the prospect that the re-
cent movements for the development of
the Belt coal fields are of substantial
nature, and such that the large deposits
there are to become permanent sup
ply for permanent market.
There have been reports in this city
that several coal deals were under way
other than the one ny which James
Shields secured large tract some days
ago. 1t is said eastern parties are look
ing over the coal ground there. The
Belt coal is going to be mined In large
quantities, which means new measure
of prosperity for this section.

under arrest charged with stealing
goods sent here by a charitable world
in aid of the starving miners of the
Gogebic range. The citizens and min
ers are indignant over the affair, and
there is strong talk of treating the ac-
cused to dose of tar and feathers. AL
though six feet of snow covers the
ground and most terrific blizzard pre-
vailed, about thousand half.starved
miners struggled through the storm to
the office of Judge Stevens, where NUT
terings of vengeance were dispelled by
Mayor William Trebelcock, who ad-
dressed the angry and tumultuous men.

RECEIVERS COME HIGH.


Enough to Eat On.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 26-ReceiversO Oakes,
Payne and Rouse, of the Northern Pa
cifc Railway, petitioned the United
States court for an order fixing their
salary at 900 per year, or $1,000 per
month, each. Judge Jenkins took the
matter under advisement. The receiv-
ers asked Judge jenkins for authority
to pay the interest and sinking fund
charges on the first mortgage bonds, and
the court took the matter under advise
ment. The petition sets forth that the
payment of the interest on these bonds
was for the best interests of the road
and the estate. The second and third
mortgages had been foreclosed, and II
the interest on the first mortgage was
not paid there was danger that it also
would be foreclosed. The first mort
gage bonds amount to $43, ,926, 900, and
the amount due for interest and sinking
fund charges is 81, 300,O 900. The petition
stated that the earnings of the Northern
Pacific for the last year had been suffi-
cient to enable the receivers to pay the
interest. The receivers asked for au-
thority to make the payment Jan. l..
The Farmers Loan and Trust Company
Joined in the petition. 1t is believed
the request win be granted, as no oppo-
sition has developed.
Receiver Payne said the matter of
reducing the wages of the employees had
been left with General Manager Ken
drlck. 1t is believed that the cut will
be made Jan. 10.

Died for His Children.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25 After trying In
vain for nearly seven months to get
work, Henry Weber, tailor, as years
old, hanged himself at his home in Will
Hamburg Sunday after putting his
three children to bed. He was a
widower, and from the time his wife
died about year ago he took care of
the children, but lately they have had
but little to eat, and went to bed cry
ing. When Weber thought they were
asleep he hanged himself. His 8-year-
old boy, who was not sleeping, saw
what he did, and when Weber began to
struggle for life the little fellow woke
his sister and brother. There was a
dim light In the room and the children
were too much frightened to raise an
alarm. They lay in bed and watched
their father strangling to death. When
the body was still the largest boy got
out of bed and called his father. He
received no response, and then he
screamed. Neighbors heard him and
cut down the body.

PASSENGER SERVICE EXTENDED.
Various Changes in Montana Railroad
Operations.

various Changes In montana ltnflrORd
Operations.
BozEMAN, Mont, Dec. 24.--Important
changes have taken place In railway
circles the past month, the most,import-
ant being the extension of passenger
service from Butte to Garrison, via the
Montana Union railway. Trains Nos.
Q and 8 on the Butte and Bozeman branch
now run solid to Garrison with one Mon
tana Union crew under Conductor Guy,
and one Northern Pacific crew with Ed
Winston. The postofiice department
has also extended its service over the
line and appointed an additional clerk,
D. o. Halloran. He and Clerk M. M.
stltute the clerical force of the divis-
ion. The express service remains un-
changed, Messengers Enos and EIvidge
running to Butte, while Ed Chenowith
manages the remainder of the line.
There is rumor in railroad circles
that the Montana Central will soon as
sumo control of the Butte-B Bozeman short
line from Logan as tar west as Garrison.
This rumor no doubt is father to the ad-
ditional report to the effect that Logan
will soon be made divisional terminal
for the Butte-Bozeman branch. Should
this prove true engine and train crews
on local trains between this city and
Butte will be obliged to make their
headquarters at Logan instead of Boze-
man, as the local trains will then not
come as far as this city.

SEEMS TO BE A MODERN JEzeBEL
Mrs. Elder, However, Says She Did Not
Shoot Her Husband.


FAIRFIELD, Iowa, Dec. 24.-If the
stories told of Mrs. Elders treatment
of her husband at Brighton are true,
and there is good evidence that they
are, she is certainly a modern Jezebel.
She is now In jail here, having been ar
rested by Sheriff Crane at her mothers
home in Lockridge, Iowa, on telegrar hic
instructions from Brighton. She is
about 25 years old, a buxom German
girl of unusually good appearance. She
married Elder in this city about year
ago and went directly with him to live
near Brighton in the north part Of the
county.
Upon being arrested the woman de-
MED all knowledge of the crime and
came to jail under protest. Interviewed
at the jail, she stated that she and her
husband had always gotten along very
we'll One quarrel had been brought
on bv her husbands father, Frederick
Elder, who at different times had
threatened to kill her husband. She
said she lett her home about o'cIoc
Friday afternoon to visit her mother
and that her husband rode several miles
with her in the wagon, after which he
bade her good bye. She says that If he
is murdered his father Is the murderer.
Her husband, she says, had great
many enemies in the neighborhood, and
once some one had shot at him through
the window of her house, but did not
hit him.
In order to bring out the facts and to
have the case tried here, Squire Stin.
son issued a warrant charging Annie
Edler with murder. Edler is in a critical
condition. Over fifty shot were picked
out of his head and shoulders and he is
covered with bruises. 1t is probable
that he will die. There is considerable
excitement at Brighton.
