Cripple Creek Seems to Re Good Place
to Stay Away From,
Denver, July 31.--An evening paper
publishes special from Cripple Creek,
a lengthy article, to the effect that a
reign of terror is existing in the town,
and making violent attack ON Town
Marhal Jim Marshall and Police Mag
istrate Robert Mullen. 1t is asserted
that the marshal makes regular assess
ments on the gambling fraternity, and
that respectable and lsw-abiding citi-
zens are thrown into Jail, tortured and
fined without even pretense of war
rant of authority. For several months,
it is alleged. outrageous acts on the
part of several city officials have been
growing more frequent and bold, but
SO completely have the police terror
lied the people that they have not even
dared to criticise the acts of officials.
Among those who have been prosecuted
are the cowboy preacher, Rice, and
his wife.

the German army and chamberlain to
Emperor William for an American gem
tleman. Mr.. and Mrs. T. d. Crocker
announce the engagement of their only
daughter. Miss Laura 7. Crocker, to
William Hayes Acklan of Washington.
This is the outcome of something Of
romance. Several years ago. when
Miss Crocker was travelling in Europe,
she met MIR. Acklan. then in the diplo-
matte service, in French city. The
next winter the acquaintance was re-
newed at st. Augustine, and Mr.. Ack-
Ian came to Cleveland to visit the Crock
ers in June.
Miss Crocker, who is superb horse
woman, saved Mr.. Acklan's life during
runaway. Both were severely injured.

health under the Crocker roof and fall
in love with his rescuer. The next win

of fine appearance, was also there and
tried to win the heiress. He fingered,
but at last was compelled to return to
Germany alone.
Miss Crocker went TO Washington,
where she was the guest for several
weeks of Vice President and Mrs Ste
venson. She met Mr.. Acklan again and
consented to become his wife. Miss
CTocker is % years old and has travelled
extensively. Mr.. Acklan is the author

A FAMOUS CASE.
The Davis VIII Case to Ee Reopened In
Montana.

Montana.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowdoin Of SPRING
field, Mass, has fled petition in the
Eighth district court Of Montana for the
purpose of reopening the famous will
case contest involving the many millions
left by the late Judge Andrew J. Davis.
Mrs. Bowdoin is sister Of the dead
millionaire, and she asks the court to
revoke the probate Of the old will, over
which the contest by the Root faction
was carried on for years, and which was
finally admitted to probate about year
ago under some private arrangement for
the division of the estate, but which
arrangement did not include some heirs
at-law who had taken no part in the
original contest. Mrs. Bowdoin was one
of these.
In her petition she alleges that the old
will, executed in 1866, in Salt Creek
township, Ia, when Davis was a poor
man, was forgery; that the body Of
the instrument and the signatures of
Davis and three witnesses were forged.
The principal point raised in the petit
tion is the allegation of the fact that in
1880 Davis executed a will, by the pro-
visions Of which all former wills were
revoked, but this will was subsequently
destroyed. Mrs. Bowdoin, however,
claims that the fact that it was destroyed
did not revive the old will, even if the
latter was genuine. The estate involved,
in spite of the great litigation, has con-
stantly increased in value, and is worth
probably $40, 900, 900. Chicago Times.

'Tf the expectation OF such Of the ad-

premises, 10 perceive what would be
gained by those who expect cheap money.
Accepting their claim that under free
coinage the dollar OF silver would become
OF equal acceptability and value and equal
power In the markets and in the payment

the silver dollar would then be as diff
cult TO procure as the dollar OF gold is

"But the real expectation OF the great
