The latter died and the old woman started to go to the home of her sister, a Mrs. Cover, in western Kansas On the train be- tween Helena and Denver she was stricken with paralysis, which affected her mind so that she forgot the post office address of her sister, Denver people sent her here. She declares that she would know the name of the town if she should hear 1t. She re- fers to ex+Senator Don Cameron, and declares that she has $6,OO0 invested in the east.
 Every effort is being made to find the sister of the unfortunate woman, and she Is being we'll cared for. She is well educated and has good mem- ory for events during the war, and names people in Pennsylvania widely known and asks that they be written to.

HE WAS "LOVELY." :"
What St. Joseph, Mo-, Society Said of
 Mansfield

St. Joseph Mo-. Oct. 5.-Actor Rich ard Mansfield has sued Manager Brig ham of the Crawford theater for $1 300, alleged to Ee due on a guarantee.
 The case has created a great stir in society circles, more than half of St. Joseph's bon ton population being cited to appear as witnesses.
 Manager Brigham alleges that the plays presented by Mansfield and his company were not up to the stand ard.
 Mansfeld's lawyer, by a strategic movement, secured a small army of witnesses from among the upper ten. He called up society belles by tele- phone and asked them if they had seen Richard Mansfield when he was here last, and when they answered ''Yes," asked, What did you think of him?" Invariably the answer would be: "He was just lovely"
 Deputy sheriffs are now out search ing for the fair witnesses.

. Daylight Already Seen Through the Luetgert Trial
THE DEFENSE HAS RESTED
The End Will Come Within the
 Next Two Weeks
The State With Eighty Rebuttal Witnesses to Prove That Mrs. Luetxert Was Not the Woman Seen at kenoSha.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The end of the famous Luetgert trial is nearer than was thought. The defense today rest ed its case and there is nothing to come but the rebuttal evidence of the state and the arguments of attorneys. probably about two weeks in all. The state has eighty witnesses to place upon the stand, but States Attorney Denna said this afternoon that in most cases their evidence will be short and that he will get through with them in a hurry.
 He expects to demolish the stories offered by witnesses for the defense that Mrs Luetgert was seen around Kenosha, Wis, and Lake Zeurieh, Wis, within few days after the murder is said to have been committed, and to fur nish other testimony that will in great measure hold up the side of the prosecution

4 GUATEyALAN ELECTION
The Eve of What is Believed to
 Be a Decisive Battle
A Prophecy That tho End of Presi- oent BarrIOs' AdminiStr alton Is Near-The Strength of the ReVo- IutiOnists.

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-Senor Mari ano Lopez, from Quezeltenango, .Guat- emala, upon whose head a price is said to have been set by Barrios, now in this city, is in receipt of a cable gram from the rebel camp to the eff feet that decisive battle between the revolutionists and government troops would begin last night. The forces of Morales are entrenched near Cochan and Tierra Blanca, within thirty leagues of the city of Guate- mala, the same battle-ground upon which the conservative forces were routed by Barrios.
 Morales has under him 27,000 men and twenty-five pieces of artillery. captured at Quezeltenango, which is the stronghold of the government forces, and contained nearly all Bar rios ammunition. LopeZ's advices said nothing as to the strength of the government forces, but he expressed the utmost confidence in the result of the engag cement, which, in his opin- ion, will be the overthrow of Bar rios administration.

BURIED IN RUINS.
\ New Hotel Becomes the Tomb of
 Two Men.

CharlevoiX, Mich, Oct. 5.-Two men are dead and ten injured as the re- suit of the blowing down of the big new hotel at Lindsay Park this after noon. The structure had been en- closed and partly plastered. About forty men were at work in and around the building when the crash came. It appeared as though all were buried in the ruins, but after the rescue was completed it was found that only Pierce Kendall of Charlevoix, and an unknown man had lost their lives.
 The building was 44O feet long. When the storm was at it's height the south side began to sway, the roof seemed to lift and the whole structure crashed the ruin following like a tidal wave to the north end. It is as serted that the building was not prop erly braced and the workmen blame Charles HartZ, the supervising car penter, who is now out of town.

Washington, Oct. g. -Attorney-Gen- conference today, with .exlGovernor Hoadley in regard to the pending Union Pacific foreclosure sale With reference to the statement by cable from London last night to the effect that an English syndicate had for warded a bid for the Union Pacific property in competition with that of the reorganization committee, the at torney y-general said that although no foreign bid had yet been received, it was a fact that the government had received inquiries from foreign sources and he had no doubt that the capitalists of this country and Eng yard would see to it that the prop erty is not sold at price much below it's value.
 The government, he said, had en- tered into no agreement or under standing with the reorganization com mittee or any one else by which they were to have the road at s45 100000 or any other sum; the property, he added, would be sold under foreclosure pro ceedings to the highest bidder and the only connection the government had with the reorganization commit tee was that the latter guaranteed that if the government would join in the foreclosure proceedings the committee
  S45, 100000 would be received for the governments equities.
 Under this pledge, the good faith of which was secured by deposit of the suit which resulted in an order by the court for the public sale of the property on November 1.
