CORBETT1s BLONDE CATCH.
Said to Be Bessie Raymer, of This
City.

John j. Robertson, an Eastern attor-
ney, supposed to be from Philadelphia,
and who represents Mrs. James ]. Cor
bett in her action for a divorce left
Minneapolis Wednesday night for New
York after stay of several days here,
in, which he obtained number of affi-
daVits concerning the character of d
young woman named Bessie Raymer
While a great deal has been said con-
corning the woman who is alleged to
have alienated Corbett's affection for
his wife, her name has not yet been
mentioned. 1t appears now that she is
Bessie Raymer, of Minneapolis, a very
petite young woman, who will be re-
membered through her connection with
the Clarke-Raymer scandal of some
eight years ago. Clarke was a, we'll
known bucket shop" man and is I'M
derstood to have left Bessie alone
since Corbett told him that if he did
not stop bothering her he (Corbett)
would poke his head off, this having
occurred in 1893.
Z. D. Raymer, brother of the voune
lady IN question, was seen by a re-
porter yesterday and stated that he
dld not believe a word of the story.
HIS sister, he said, had been an fnvaIiCi
for some time and was not the SORT of
a woman anyhow to attract a man like
Corbett At present, Mr.. Raymer stated
his sister was with her mother II,
Denver. In spite of denials there are
some persons who believe that the
woman for whom Corbett has achieved
Such romantic attachment is none
other than Bessie Raymer. These per-

mined to Get in the New
Building.
The judges of the district court ex-
erted healthy influence when they de-
clared their intention of moving into
the new court house before the Sep
TENDER term of court whether their
chambers were ready FOR them or net.
Now comes the members of the board
of court house and city hall commits
sion and assert that they will be ready
to turn over the court house in a very
acceptable condition by the time the
next term of court is ready to convene.
The gentlemen have said so with all
sincerity and doubtless they will keep
to their word.
The county side of the building is
well on its way to completion and in
fact all that remains to be done is the
finishing up work, such as tinting and
vanishing and painting. The rooms
will be speedily completed and locked
up ready for their occupants when they
move. The stairs are being put in
place and will not much longer be in
the way. Work on the elevators will
commence Monday, under the charge
of Mr.. Haskell, the representa- tive of
the Spra gue-Pratt Elevator company.
The contracts for the iron work for
the Jail will be let July Is. The con-
tractors are given ninety days for their
work but the commission will look
with favor upon the bid of any firm
that promises to do the work in less
time than that.

DOYLE,s INJURIES.
Says He Is Badly Bruised, but
Has No Broken Bones.

Says He Is Badly Bruised, but
Has No Broken Bones.
Considerable anxiety was felt at
police headquarters all day yesterday
over the report in yesterday morning s
papers that Inspector James j. Doyle,
of Minneapolis, va S among the injured
at the social session of the Elks
Wednesday night at Atlantic City.
Detective Doyle left last week for
Baltimore after the men supposed to
have duped the Northwestern National
bank, of this city, out of $1,100. I'M
mediately upon learning that the in
spector was among the injured both
Superintendent Smith and Mayor Pratt
telegraphed to Atlantic City for in
formation, but it was not until last
night that a dispatch was received
from Doyle himself at Atlantic City,
stating that his arm and leg were
seriously injured but no bones were
broken and he would be all right.
Inspector James Howard, who &C.
companied Detective Doyle, left Balti-
more, Md, last Tuesday morning, hav-
ing in custody William Hartley, one OF
the forgerS, and was expected in TIE
city last night. At II o'clock last night
superintendent Smith stated that How
ard had not put in an appearance and
had probably stopped over in Chicago
or been delayed at some point. He had
heard nothing from him. 1t is probable
that as soon as Howard arrives he will
return to Baltimore, as Doyle's injuries
may prevent his being able to bring
the other prisoner.
The habeas corpus proceedings in the
case of Charles Fisher, alias William
Boland, and Arthur Dearborn, the
other two members of the gang of
forgers, will be heard before a Balti-
more court today and, should a de-
cision favorable to Minnesota be rem
dered, they will be brought to this
city at once.

TWO TOWNS WIPED OUT.
Forest Fires Causing Devastation
in Michigan.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July IL
The trains from the north due here
early last night did not arrive until
midnight, having been delayed by
forest fires at various points along
the line. On the Chicago & West
Michigan road the little towns of
Wallin and Clary, between Thomp-
sonville and Traverse City, have
been entirely wiped out, and the peo-
pie have taken refuge at Thompson
vile. The wires are down, and full
particulars are not obtainable, but
passengers arriving here say no lives
were lost. Rain is falling at Man
celona tonight, and it is thought
the danger there is past. The sum-
mer resort of Oden-Oden, above Pc
toskey, is surrounded by forest fires,
and when last heard from was in
danger of being burned out.
THOMPSONVILLE Mich, July
n.-Wallin is utterly destroyed. One
hotel, one store, a saw mill, ware
house, coal kiln, 5000 cords of wood
and about twenty houses are burned.
The people are without clothing or
food. One child is missing. Many
were overcome by the heat The
people are being cared for here and
at Traverse City. The loss is heaviest
upon the Sullivan Lumber company,
of Grand Rapids.
