madness in their brains, but certainly
there was no hypocrisy in their words.
| On Monday morning, while the talk of
the town was still busy with this story and
a thousand theories in regard to IL were
! being discussed, it was made known that
! four OF the most promising students OF
| the university were missing from their
accustomed places and also that one of
the workmen in the physical laboratory
had not appeared that morning. Later in
the day it was told that the students, the
workman and four young women had
entered the catacombs early on Sunday
without guide, having obtained permis-
sion to do so on the plea of desire TO
make some experiments in photograp ply
among the tombs. AS none of the party
had been seen to return it was evident
they were still IN the catacombs, and the
fear arose that they also had seen the
vision of horror which had so affrighted
other visitors on that day and had been
too terror-stricken to escape.
Several parties of guides thoroughly
familiar with all the labyrinths of the
catacombs were at once sent out to search
for the missing ones. Before Tuesday

turned bringing the workman with
them, but up to this time the students
and their companions have not yet been
found. The workman when discov-
cred was wandering about chattering in a
delirium, and when brought to the sur
face was unable to talk lntelhgentIy. A
strong soporiic was gwen him, which
/ threw him into q profound sleep, from
which he did not awaken for many hours.
/ When he revived, however, his senses
were completely restored and he was able
/ to tell to his physician and some profes-
/ sors Of the university a story which ex-
/ plains the whole of this latest mystery oi
+ Rome.
! The story can be best told in the words
/ OF the workman himself. 1t runs in this
way: Ever since the commencement oi
| the discovery Of a means OF photograph
/ ing the bones within the body the stu
dents in the physical department of the
uni Jersity have been working night and
/ day to accomplish some greater wonder in
/ that direction. They said that while a
| German had led the way, it should be an
/ Italian who would complete the victory.

/ people call it, but listen to the talk oil
| the students and know, of course, what
/ they are aiming at. One of the most
/ ardent OF them, Signor Valmi, told me it
/ was his intention to generate a new ray OF
! such degree OF power that it would be

within the flesh directly and without
having to resort to photography.

the beauty of life were all as hideous as
the dead of a thousand years. Then my

y -
z many strange stories in the rec
~ ords of Rome-many wild tales
IN in those wonderful records OF
- myth and of mystery that have
come down to us through so many ages,
but among them all is none stranger or
wilder than that which during the past
week has startled the whole city and rem
dered the sensitive among her people half
hystericaI with the dread OF a new and un-
heard-of terror.
The first portion OF the story was told
about the city on the evening of last Sun
day and came from the custodian of the
catacombs. On the afternoon of that day
TWO guides and party of sightseers came
rushing up from the catacomos frantic
with terror TO tell tale such as has not
been heard in Rome since the supersti-
tious days of the middle ages. The al
friEhted guides asserted that when far
down in the subterranean passages they
had seen the glimmer OF an unwonted
light in one OF the most distant, danger
Gus ana unfrequented receSses OF the
tOmbs. From q desire TO find out the
cause OF the strange light the guides and
their party turned into the side path and
bad followed il some distance, when a
sudden opening disclosed a sight that at
first held them speIlbound with amaze
ment and then sent them shrieking and
terror-strIcken TO seek safety in flight.
When they came into the sunlight their
ghastly faces half terrified those who saw
them. For some time neither the guides
nor the tourists could speak coherently,
and when they could it was fearful tale
they told.
We saw said the guides. IAN awful,
walless, vaultless, limitless space open be-
fore Us in the depths of the tombs 1t

Told Their Troubles i'm Court.


The trial of the case of Bertha Pin
Gus against Adolph Pincus was con-
cluded in Judge McHatton's court yes
terday and resulted IN favor of the
defendant. Isadore Pincus, husband
of Bertha and brother to the defend
ant, was the real plaintiff and had
sued for the value of the stock of
wholesale cigar business, amounting to
several thousand dollars. The business
had been carried on in the defendants
name, but the plaintiff claimed to
have put In the money and that Adolph
deliberately "swiped" the whole works.
The jury, however, believed the story
of the defendant that he had support
ed his brother out of charity, set him
up In business and ousted him only
when he neglected the business and
could no longer be relied on. George
Haldorn conducted the case for the de-
PENDANT and made out a good case. His
argument to the jury was an especially
strong effort. Attorney Walsh from
Helena, and ]. A. Shelton Of Butte rep
resented the plaintiff.
Adolph Pincus, the defendant, testi-
fed that in the early part of 1890 his
brother, Isadore, came to him and beg
ged of him to help him make living;
that he was broke. II have supported
him ever since he has been in Butte.
He was attached In 1889 and / had to
pay $500 or $500, which 1 went good
for"
In 1890 he had no money. Isadore said
he had $500 when he went into the cigar
business, but Adolph said he had not
400 cents. He begged for lift" and
through the influence of others, and
especially through the influence of a
brother, Fred, now dead, Adolph finally
agreed to get lsadore stock, upon his
promise to quit gambling and behave
himself Isadore wanted $3.50 and
Adolph said he would not care how
much, as long as Isadore would treat
him right. The latter made all kinds of
promises to be good and the stock of
cigars was purchased. Adolph went to
Europe and when he returned he found
lsadore had been gambling again.
II asked him If he was ever going to
have any sense" said Adolph. 81 asked
him how much / owed for cigars, and
he said $1,100 of 81, 200, but found that
I owed $500 and paid it,"
The stock of cigars was found piled
around a boiler and all dried out and
Adolph took possession of the business
and told Isadore that he would have
nothing more to do with him, and Isa-
dore went out and made no claim to
anything. The witness said the first ne
knew that his brother made any claim
to the business was when the suit was
brought for the value of the stock and
ior the dheseu pronts Adolph said he
roasted Isadore, told him he was no
good, that he would have nothing more
to do with him, and Isadore made no
protest and made no pretensions of
having any interest in the business.
Adolph's testimony was supported by
other witnesses and dispositions, and all
tended to throw serious doubts on Isa-
dore's claim that he was the moneyed
man in the cigar business and that his
brother took ii away from him. The
jury was out only about half an hour
and returned with a verdict for the de-
fendant Adolph. The jury stood to 4.
