RECEIVERS APPOINTED.
Mr.. Robt. EdmOnstOn Denies the
Charges Against Him.


Charges Against Him.
Judge Bradley today appointed Messrs.
T. K. de Graffenried and Mateo H. Topper
receivers for the business of Robert o.
Edmonston. with power to take charge of
the books and effects of the firm. This is
the result of bill in equity filed several
days ago by VIM. B. Hartley against Robt
o. Edmonstcn. The complainant and de-
fendant were engaged as partners in the
grocery business. and Mr.. Hartley accused
his partner of mismanagement and Of con-
verting the partnership effects to his own
separate use.
In answering the charges today Mr.. Ed
monston specifically denied the charges
stating that he had done nothing wrong.
and that all he did do was with the knowl-
edge and consent of Mr.. Hartley He, in
turn, charged that Mr.. Hartley had done
much to ruin the business of the firm, he
(Edmonston) having been compelled to use
part of the proceeds of the firm to keep
the business from going to ruin He
prayed that, as his character and reputa-
ton had been grossly assailed by the seri-
GUS charges made by Mr.. Hartley In his
Dill OF complaint the court compel him to
strictly prove each and every one Of said
allegations He also asked that the BUSH
ness be continued in the hands of the firm
and that the order restraining him from
carrying 1t out be set aside
Judge Bradley, however appointed Mr.
Eomonstons attorneys, MesSrs de Graf
Ienreid and Topper, as receivers for the
nrm, and continued the restraining order

LIFE LOST ITS CHARMS
And Adeline Ere we'll Cut Hers Short
With Morphine.
BOTH YOUNG AND MAYNARD
She Wrote a Farewell Letter to Her
Husband, Then Took a Big Dose
of the Deadly Drug and 1t
Was Soon All Ended.

| MIssoULA, March Sat 2:30 o'clock
this morning Adeline Freiwell, a woman
of the town. died as the result of morphine
taken with suicidal intent. The woman
had been drinking heavily, it is said, for
several days, and the drug was taken in
| a moment of despondency. She had told
some of her companions that she intended
| to commit suicide, but this was thought to
be an idle threat and no attention was
paid to it until late last night, when il was
learned that she had taken some
morphine and had written a farewell LETT
ter to her husband. Medical aid was
hastily summoned and Drs. Grain and Nc
Cullough worked over her for two hours.
RestoratIves failed, however. The deadly
drug had done its work.
The woman was about % years old and
a native of Ireland, so her friends say.
She left farewell note to her husband,
stating that he would never hear from her
again and assuring him of her continued
love. Among her effects were two letters
from her husband, who is connected with
n sanitarium in Spencer, Ind, the last
one having been written March 4. These
letters are we'll written, the language be-
ing good and the handwriting that of an
educated man. The tone of the letters in
dicates that her husband did not know
that she was leading a life of shame. The
letter that was written March 4 was re-
celved by the woman last night, and she
evidently began her preparations for sui
eide as soon as she had read it.
The body was removed to Undertaken
Lucy's morgue this morning, where it has
remained all day. An inquest was held
at o'clock this afternoon by Coroner
Grain. The jury was composed of Jerry
Shlnnick, foreman; Joseph Booth, w. A.
Anderson, Dave O'Kecfe, +. A. Street
and George Scully. There was no ques-
ton as to the cause of the woman's death,
but the coroner wanted to find out, if pos
slble, where the woman got the morphine
which she used with fatal results.
The testimony showed that the woman
obtained the morphine from the valise of
n friend. without the latter's consent or
knowledge. Where this woman got 1t
could not be learned, she testifying she
obtained il OF a man whose name she did
not know, but whose description she gave.
The man could not be found. The jury
rendered a verdict in accordance with the
facts stated above.

MISSOULA GOSSIP.

MIssoULA, March s.-Out at Fort Mis-
soula the spring cleaning has begun and
the attractive post will soon be in sum-
mer guse. Everything is so we'll kept out
there, however, that not much cleaning is
necessary, except to remove whatever
litter has blown in during tho winter.
At the end of this month, Captain
Loughborough will turn over the charge
of the canteen. Lieutenant Levol will
probably be his successor.
In regard to tho rumor that the 25th in
fantry is TO he transferred from Fort Mis-
soula, one of the officers of the regiment
said to STANDARD reporter to-day: ~
know of no good foundation for such n
report. The Army and Nary Register this
month contains an interview with General
Schofleld, in which he says that there will
probably be some transfers of garrisons
made during tho year. None will be
made before July anyway. Until il is
known how much money the department
will have at its disposal, IL cannot be de-
termined as to how many transfers will
be made nor can il be stated what regi-
ment will be removed from their present
posts. The department will not consider
these points until the question of finan-
ccs is determined"

Missoula's Com - toners Transact Quite

| STEvENsvILLE, March S.-The county

consider their vote to award the county
printing to the Ravalli Republican and
that paper gets the work at the figures
stated in the STANDARD last weel1r va
The board has definitely decided TO
build a new bridge across the Bitter Root
river ut Hamilton and has advertised for
bids to ascertain the cost of bridge at
Eight Mile, opposite Florence.
This county has reached the maximum
Indebtedness allowed under the present
statutes and no further extensive OK
penditures can be made until the new
code goes into effect July 1.
The county commissioners spent to-day
in auditing bills aud signing warrants.
There was not time TO make the settle
ment with the treasurer, so the board will
convene again next Tuesday i'm special
session to attend to this work. The COM
missioners will also next week take trip
up the Bitter Root to the county line TO
examine roads ana bridges.

ones, and DIR. Buckley was summoned
from the y Jrthern Pacific hospital.
Mr.. Donkin and DIR. Buckley were watt
ing when Brunker steamed into the yard
and at once boarded the caboose, and the
engine was reversed and run back to Bon
ner as rapidly as possible.
The children were found and tenderly
placed in the caboose and all possible
speed made in getting back to Missoula.
1t was a sad trip. The little ones were
badly frightened and the older one suf-
fered much. Tender and willing hands
transferred the unfortunate children from
the train TO the hospital and the engine
backed out just before No. came into the
yard.
The children were taken to the Sisters
hospital, where il was found that the am
putation of leg of the older one was
necessary. The younger one, however,
seemed not badly injured, the engine
having just grazed it's head, knocking il
away from the track. No other injury was
sustained. Drs. Buckley and Sippy per-
formed the amputation and both children
are resting easy tonight.
The father of the children is n man
named Epeson, who is employed IN the
yard of the Bonner mills. 1t is supposed
that the children had been playing about
the track and laid down in the warm sun
shine and had gone asleep.
