many tenants, among whom was Mrs
Carrie Corbett, a beautiful widow Of
30 years, who lived with her little H.
year-old son. Germand visited her
once month, but claims his visits
were at first of a purely business ma
ture. One day he went to the house
to give some instructions to some
painters who were at work when Mrs
Corbett asked him TO come into her
apartment. This he did and the two
sat upon the sofa. This was the begin
ming of long courtship, In the course
of which Germand took her out for
carriage drives, and on several occa-
sions they journeyed to distant towns
together, and once both went to Chi
cago on vacation trip. OF course
they were always properly chaperoned

TO HELP UNCLE SAM.
Loan Item Is the Largest Ever Car
ried by New York Banks.

New York Dec l3.-The Financier says
that the Union Pacific reorganization
committee last week made an additional
payment of $S,5O0.O0O on account, and
this sum, passing into depository banks,
has increased the averages of the clearing
house institutions no less than $9,000,000
in deposits. The increase in loans is CON
nected with the same transaction, but 1t
has swelled the total loan item to 1907 :
$4,000, which is by far the largest ever
carried by the New York banks. The Ell
feet OF the transfer of the Union Pacific TO
the new purchasers may be traced in the
expansion of the loan item of the banks
during the past five weeks. On Novem-
Der 10 last loans stood at 1915 300, 900, as
compared with 1907, 900 December IL.
The loan increase, therefore, has been
over $32, 100000. In the same time depos-
its have increased 100000 and cash

Boise, Sept. Is. ~ The supreme court
held yesterday unconstitutional those
sections of the sheep inspection law rela-
tive to sheep being driven into the state.
They are found to conflict with section 2,

OF the state VS.. James Duckworth. con
victed in Oneida county of violation of
the act The sections invalidated are 6
and IA of the act of 1895, as amended by
the law of 1897. The court says:
Under the guise of inspection and
quarantine, said sections place unneces-
sary burdens and restrictions upon bring
ing sheep into this state for any purpose
whatever, or transporting them through
the state to the markets of the east, and
make unnecessary and prejudicial dis
ordinations against sheep whose owners
may desire to bring them into the state,
and are repugnant to the provisions of

HE MURDERED HIS WIFE.
Wounded His Daughter and Tried
TO XIII Himself.

Modesto, Cal, Dec. l4.-Geo. c. Green,
a carpenter, fatally shot his wife and
wounded his daughter, Mrs. W. F. ide
man, with revolver yesterday. He then
turned the weapon on himself, but only
inflicted scalp wound. His wife had left
him and applied for divorce on the
grounds of extreme cruelty and failure to
provide. The shooting was the sequel of
an unsuccessful attempt to induce her to
return to him. She was living with Mrs
Lideman. This also angered the culprit,
who was at cuts with his son-in-law, and
this is supposed to be his reason for shoot
ing his daughter.

SHOT HIM FROM BEHIND.
Unknown Man Assnssinnted \. n
Mullen i'm an Amite City Hotel.

Amite City, Ia, Dec. l3.-Another as
sassination, the second in week, has been
added to the record for Tangipahoa par
ish. Last evening in the full glare of the
hotel lights, S. b. Mullen, stranger, was
shot to death. He was standing on the
hotel gallery and the assassin shot him
from behind. There were two shots fired
one of which penetrated the brain. Inn
mediately a large crowd gathered and
the greatest excitement prevailed. Sheriff
Edwards was notified and organized a
posse. AS soon as the moon rose blood
hounds took up the trail Of the guilty
parties. Why Mullen was shot is as yet
a mystery. He is an entire stranger here
and could hardly have had any connection
with any of the murders hereabouts. Some
people are under the impression that the
man had enemies at his home, who fol
lowed him here and murdered him. 9th
ers are of the opinion that the man was
a detective and had come here for the pur-
pose of working up some case.

The policeman, who gave chase, over
hauled the hearse, climbed up on the
box and arrested the driver for his
recklessness.

carriages in the funeral cortege.
Thereupon he turned the horses
toward the police station and started
them at trot The hearse driver was
dumb with establishment. All the car
riages dutifully trundled along behind.
Imagine the establishment of the citi-
zens of Brooklyn upon seeing a whole

son for the change in their itinerary.

The sergeant refused to entertain the
charge against the hearse driver, and
he advised the boy to get a warrant for
the driver If he wished to prosecute
him. Thereupon the funeral procession
resumed It's journey toward the ceme-
terry.

IDAHO STATE BOARDS FIGHT.
Auditor and Examiners Can't Agree
on Methods.

Boise, Dec. l5.-There has been CON
hest between the state board of examiners
and the state auditor for some days over
allowance of bills against the state for
last month. The statute provides that
regular meetings of the board shall be
held on the first and third Tuesdays, and
regular meetings of the board shall be
if all the members are present. There
was only one member here when the time
for the regular meeting came around
the secretary of state. He adjourned the
meeting from day to day until the arrival
OF the attorney general Tuesday. The
two constituted majority and passed
the bills.
Auditor Anderson, however, refused to
issue the warrants, claiming it was a
special meeting, and that there is no pro-
vision for an adj burned meeting. Yester-
day the governor returned, the board met
and by resolution asserted its position,
but in order to avoid further delay i'll pay
ment of claims, agreed that the governor
should Join in the action taken by the two
other members. 1t has been a sharp fight
and there has been no little feeling arous-
ed over the matter

passenger train at STEMS pass, 80 miles
west OF this place, at o'clock Thursday
night, was foiled by the prompt action of
the armed guards in the express car, who
succeeded i'll killing one of the hold-ups.
-Four men rode up to the station short
time before the train was due, and after
robbing Agent st. John and Section Fore
man McMullen, cut the telegraph wires
and waited for the train. When the pas
senger pulled into the station one of the
bandits covered the engineer and fireman
with a Winchester while the others pre-
pared to attack the express car.
Express Guardes Thatcher and Jen-
nings, who were on board the car, at once
opened fire, and the leader of the robbers
fell with bullet in his brain. His com

Customs Godson, who is stationed at Lake
Tagish, came into Skaguay December Z,
bringing confirmatory news of rich strikes
on the Hootalinqua river and that many
prospectors at Lake Marsh and other
places on the road to Dawson had gone

while the goods are in transit to the in

Collector Floyd has already collected
duty on five outfits from British Column

duty rather than pay customs official to
travel with them to the line. Owing to
the dispute over the location of he boun-
