THREATENED TO SHOOT HIS WIFE.
Marital TribulntiOns of Lord and
Lady

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-The Ex-
amineg's Los Angeles special says: Lora
Sholto Douglas last night threatened to take
the life of his wife. In the corridor OF the
Ardmour at Sixth and Broadway, in highly
pitched tones and while laboring under great
anger, he Informed Lady Douglas that If she
entered her mothers room he would shoot
her.
Lady Douglas was cool and collected while
all this loud talk was being made, ana ana
exactly what he told her not to do. she
went to her mothers room and talked with
her. Lord Douglas did not shoot her, nor
did he make any attempt to.
Mrs. M. Mooney arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday. There was no one to meet her.
She had given it out that she was coming
down here for war, and it certainly seems as
though she had realized what she came for.
Mrs. Mooney proceeded to the Burbank
theater, and in the corridor she met her
daughter, Lady Douglas. The meeting was
very cordial. After a brief conversation
Lady Douglas proceeded with her mother to
a hotel, where Mrs. Mooney engaged a suite
Of rooms.
At the usual hour Lady Douglas appeared
at the stage door Of the Burbank theater,
but Lord Sholto was not with her. She was
accompanied by her mother. The stage door
keeper admitted both ladies. Shortly after
Lord Douglas turned up. AS soon as he
heard where Mrs. Mooney was he became
greatly enrag@d. lie was tOlu 10 go ana IN
vite her to leave. He did so. Mrs. Mooney
said it was all right and that she would
stay. Manager Frawley then said that Mrs.
Mooney must leave the dressing room.
This was too much. Lady Douglas was
loyal to her flial affection. Drawing herself
up to her full height she said with great
dramatic power that where her mother
could not stay, she would not. Then Lady
Douglas withdrew TO her dressing room,
picked up her belongings with the aid Of her
mother, and left the theater. Lord Sholto,
who had during this interval been ~prancing
around behind the scenes, trailed behind.
When Lady Douglas arrived at the hotel his
lordship went in after her, and then he made
the threat to shoot her, but he evidently re-
considered his words. Hostilities ceased for
the while, but they will be resumed today.
At least that is what Mrs. Mooney says, and
Mrs. Mooney knows.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 13,-Mrs,
Mooney cannot find her daughter, Lady
Sholto Douglas, today, Mrs. Mooney arrived
here yesterday afternoon and succeeded in
raising a tremendous rumpus. She was shut
out of the theater where her daughter was
playing. the daughter lost her engagement,
and Lord Sholto threatened to shoot her,
Lord Sholto says today that he has sent his
wife away where her mother can never see
her. Mrs. Mooney is furious.

FIRE HAS BURNED ITSELF OUT.


LIVINGSTON, Mont, Nov. S.-The fire in
the Bozeman tunnel, which has been raging
furiously for the past nine weeks, has at last
burned itself out. The tunnel is now about
clear of smoke and deadly gas, and nothing
much but steam is at present issuing from
either end.
A force of men has been put to work, and
as soon as the tunnel cools sufficiently the
task OF cleaning it out will be commenced.
The fire has caused several very bad caves
and thousands of tons OF rock have fallen on
the track. This obstruction will be removed
as fast as possible and temporary timbering
will be put in. 1t Is expected that this work
will take two months or more, but as soon
as it is completed trains will be run through
the mountain again.
The Northern Pacific, 1t is stated, has de-
cided to line and arch the entire tunnel with
solid brick masonry. The work, however,
will not interfere with the use of the tunnel.

VETERAN PREFERENCE ACT.
ConstitutionaIity of the Measure to
he Tested.

BOSTON, Nov, 13.-The full bench Of the
supreme judicial court heard arguments to-
day on a case brought against the civil
service commissioners by F.. b. Brown to
test the new veteran preference act. In the
case the petitioner prays for a writ of man
damus to compel the respondents to certify
his name for appointment as a member of
the state police, he having passed a COM
petitive examination and received the highest
mark among the candidates. The respondents,
acting in accordance with the veterans
preference act, certified the name Of +. d.
Bean over that of the petitioner, on the
ground that the former was a veteran. The
petition contends that the act of 1895 is I'M
constitutional, and that. he has a right to
retain the original position at the head Of the
eligible list, and asks that the court compel
the commissioners to restore him to his
rights.

Methodist Episcopal conference of South
Dakota, departed yesterday for Denver to
attend the annual meeting of the general

this year the churches are not so badly in
need Of funds as last. and that he will not
ask the committee for over $4,000, which
he thinks he will have no trouble in getting.

ton of St. Augusta Episcopal cathedral Of
this city, Archdeacon c. 7. Brady of Kansas
will not accept the call extended to him by
the Episcopal church here, at a salary OF
81, 900. He would most likely have accepted
this offer but for the fact that he was a few
days ago appointed to the responsible posi-
ton of archdeacon for the diocese of Penn
sylvania, at a salary of $1,000.
