From Buffalo.
A telegram to the Salt Lake Tribune
from Buffalo, Wyo., throws further light
upon the escapade of the persons men,
toned, whose actions were chronicled i n
The TRIBUNE a short time ago. 1t ia as
follows:
"Mrs. John 7. Martin has received a
letter from her husband at Great Falls,
Mont, containing sensational news to
the effect that William H. Fem, formerly
city clerk of Buffalo, has deserted his
wife and eloped with his wife's sister,
Mrs. Leollie Simmons, who in turn
deserted her husband and children.
Both families formerly lived in Buffalo,
and are we'll known throughout northern
Wyoming.
ga few weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. Fem,
accompanied by Mrs. Simmons. left
Buffalo with the intention of locating in
Great Falls, Mr.. Simmons having
preceded them to select a location,
Upon reaching Sheridan, where the
family intended to take the train, Mrs.
Fem gave birth to a child, which died a
few days afterward, and the remains
were taken back TO Iiut1alo for burial.
Fem then left for Great Falls, accom-
panied by Mrs. Simmons. leaving Mrs.
Fem at Sheridan. He informed his
wife that he would go to Chicago with
Hon. S. r. Farwell, ex.state superintend-
ent of Wyoming, with whom he intended
to engage in business in Great Falls.
sit appears that upon arriving at
Great Falls, Fem and Mrs. Simmons
registered at the hotel as man and wife.
Mr.. Simmons heard of their action and
implored his wife to leave Fem and re-
turn to her home. This she refused to
do, ayerriug that she preferred Fem to
him.
Mr.. Simmons then left Great Falls
with his children in company with Mr..
FarWell. 1t was the intention to place
the children in care of friends in Denver.
Another letter from Great Falls states
that Fem and Mrs. Simmons nave gone
to the Pacific coast"

STETTrN, Sept. 1o.-The Third and Ninth
army corps and the guards began the
mimic war operations yesterday when En-
peror William and his suite assumed
position on the Pecun Hills, on the out
skirts of the advance guards of the south
ern division. The northern division
brought up It's entire cavalry brigade and
two batteries and made a splendid attack,
which, however, was checked by the artil-
lery Of the southern division long enough
TO give the southerners time to bring up
six cavalry regiments, which charged upon
the northerners, driving them back behind
Scorckow.
The emperor rode at the head Of the
charge. Captain Evans, military attache
to the United States embassy, followed
the charge throughout, but Colonel
Swaine, the military attache to the Brit
ish embassy, was obliAed to dismount.
The northern army then concentrated
upon Greifenhagen, while the southern
army marched upon Kolbetzow, leaving
the enemy, somewhat upon their flank en-

THE BELFRY MURDER.
Sho Defense VIII Introduce Witnesses 20
show That Durrant IL Innocent.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-A local paper
prints a sensational story about the de
fense which will be offered In the trial of
Theodore Durrant for the murder of
Blanche Lamont The statement is cred
tied to person connected with the defense,
and is as follows;
THE alibi will be strong, but the de-
Tense has witnesses to show that Durrant
not only did not commit the murder, but
Will Indicate who did 1t. There will be
more than one implicated in the murder
witnesses will testify that they saw the
girl enter the church on tho fatal after
noon with a'certaln man, and at that time
q second man was in the church.
There the defense will rest Its inquiry.
IL Will not attempt to prove that these
parties did commit the murder. The state
mcnts as to this arc SO direct.that they will
leave no ground for the prosecution to
stand on, SO far as Durrant is concerned" ]"
John t. Dare, prosecuting attorney in
police court No. ., will be one of the states
witnesses. His son, Starr Dare, has al
ready testified to finding the wearing ap-
parel of Blanche Lamont slowed away in
the rafters and under the floor In the
belfry.
Detective Gibson, who discovered two
blocks of wood under the head Of the body,
will also testify. These blocks, If properly
identified and proved are of considerable
Importance in the case, for they tend to
show that whoever II was that placed the
body of the murdered girl where 1t was
found, had knowledge of the customs in
vogue In the dissecting room. The head
rested on these blocks just as the head Of a
corpse In dissecting room would have
done. Durrant is medical student. True,
there is nothing direct about the evidence,
but it is considered good link in the long
chain of circumstantiA evidence upon
which the state expects to make out its
case against Durrant.
