Miss Catherine B. Stevens, Who Visited
Emanuel Church the Morning 1innie
Williams Body Was Discovered

The preliminary examination in the
Williams case will probably be concluded
on Tuesday and the inquest in the La
mont case commences on the following
day. few friends of Durrant still affect
to believe in his innocence, even promis-
ing to solve the mystery of the real MUIR
derer, limiting that the murders were the
work of middle-aged married resident of
the Mission, who has since disappeared.
The plan of District Attorney Barnes to
try Durrant for the Lamont murder first
is generally commended. Considered
alone. the Williams case is deemed weak
for the prosecution, and with another
case to be tried jury verdict of guilty
would be doubtful. The prosecution fears
the moral effect of an acouittal in one
case, The evidence in the Lamont crime
is considered much more conclusive. 1t
is probable that the grand jury Will be
asked to lndlct Durrant for the Lamont
murder. This would render unnecessary
q preliminary police court investigation.

GOING OVER INTO MEXICO
The Beef Question Is Becoming ar
International One
Tariff Regulations Favorable Against the
High Prices Now Prev ailing
in the East

TUXPAN, Vera Cruz. April PA
number OF American cattle dealers are
negotiating for the purchase of large
herds of cattle in the Huasteca district,
state of Vera Cruz, and which range over
portions of the states of Puebla and Ill
dalgo. These herds are practically the
bulk of the cattle remaining in the entire
republic for consumption and export,
and high prices will probably be realized.
There has been a movement on foot to
ship a large number of the cattle by sea
to New York and place them on that
market at the prices ruling on Deei
thro ughout the United States. Beef and
all kinds of meat are steadily rising in
price all through the country. The sup
ply OF stock in other parts of Mexico Is
hard to compute with eXactness. but
from none of the cattle districts can any
considerable amount of stock be shipped
to the United States markets. The state
of chihuahua. which is the largest pro-
ducer in Mexico, has sent over 10000 head
of steers to the st. Louis and Kansas
City markets since the change IN the
tariff regulations regarding Mexican cat
tie and the output has been further Stlm-
uated by the feeding and concessions
which have been put into effect at III
Paso lately None of the Northern MeXl-
can cattle companies have any surplus
stock to speak of on hand now, and the
entire output at the present time is only
about forty carloads week. Compare
lively little stock in marketable condition
remains at La Barca, state of Jalisco'
one OF the largest cattle districts of Mex
leo, and what little there is Will ma q
more ready market in Guadalalara anC
City of Mexico than in the north.
Many kilograms have been received iron
United States buyers making inquiry
regarding the supply of Mexican cattle
but no material relief can be apparently
given by this country. Mexican cattle
are small and poor in flesh by nature, ant
must be sent north to fatten.

Butte's Night Of Terror.

BUTTE, Jan. 16.-At 9:55 o'clock
the fire department responded to a
call from box Y, the call of death
nearly the entire department. The
fire was either in Kenyon & Con-
nell's or the Butte Hardware ware
house, and both contained powder.
There was rumor that there was
powder in the building, but this
was denied and after a moments
hesitation the fremen began fight
ing the fire. At 10. 09 when the
men had barely started to work
there was an explosion which shook
Butte to its very foundation. The
powder in the warehouse blew up
spreading destruction and ruin to
all who were near. All but three
OF the firemen we're killed. From
all over the city people began NOV
ing toward the fire and the crowd
had greatly increased within five
minutes. just about that length
of time after the first explosion a
second explosion almost equal in
volume to the first, heightened the
terror ali over the city and spread
death aud desolation at the disas-
trous scene. Parts of bodies were
hurled scores of feet away, Five
minutes later q Jthird explosion
came, but it was a mild one and i,
is believed that very few, if any,
we're injured in this. The scene
was one OF utter and absolute de.
] struction.

The wild and woolly west, as a
characteristic phase, is each year
falling more and more into disre-
pute. Civilization is continually
penetrating farther into those wild
and woolly strongholds. When the
man who drives the quill first set
his face towards the setting sun,
the shrieks of the locomotive had
not yet been heard as far west as
Des Moines city, Iowa. He has
lived to SEE five great railway lines
stretch their steel bands across the
great American desert and unite
the extreme East and the far West
in commercial wedlock. He has
seen the mythical west, of his boy
hood dreams, develop into a great
empire. Marvellous that develop.

mencement of what destiny has
marked out for her.

When the great Daniel Webster

better public school system than
even his beloved Massachusetts.
John G. Calhoun said, in that pc.
culiar sneering tone of his, that he
would not give a pinch of snuff fol
all the territory lying west of the

the shades of Tarturus, long enough
to view that territory now, he
