Molly Murray Left Record Behind Her
in Great Falls.
Great Falls, Dec 16.-Molly Murray,
the colored woman who is at present
making herself a terror to the police
officers of Butte, has served her time in
Northern Montana. First she was a
resident of Havre, then Benton, and
when the authorities of that city got
tired OF her she was shipped to Great
Falls. After using her razor" here on
various occasions and making life a
burden to the colored population of the
Tenderlin district Chief Guerin took
her in hand and shipped her back to
Benton, much to the joy of her neigh
bors. From Benton she descended on
Missoula, and after whooping the town
up for few times left to play an en-
gagement in Helena, by request. From
there she left for Butte, and the au-
thorities of this section are watching
her debut in new field With consider
able interest.

.HUDELSlN LIBEL CASE,
Judge Campbell Intimates That
Ee Will Not Ho.d the
Defendant.
At the Request of the Complaining
Witness the Arguments Are
Postponed.

1t was not Judge Campbell's fault that
the criminal libel case of BEN amin +.
Hudelson was Eot finally disposed of last
night. The case has dragged along since
December Z, and the Judge made des-
perate effort to finish it, but the complain
ing witness, Attorney d. B. Woodwork,
obtained continuance till next Wednes-
day night to make his argument.
The witnesses examined yesterday after
noon and evening were c. w. Kyle for the
defense and II. T. Marshall and Rev. Dom
aid NJ. Ross in rebuttal.
The Judge then asked if counsel were
ready to proceed with their arguments,
and Woodwork said he wanted TO have
time to go through the whole of the evil
dence. Attorney Jordan said he was
ready for the defense, but Woodworth in
sisted upon delay.
MY general impression" said the
Judge, from the evidence is that | don't
think the case would ever reach jury on
the ground that the comm unicatlon was
privileged, and if it did l don't think a
jury would convict. That's how l feel at
present"
Woodworth lost his temper and said
that unless he was granted time to peruse
the evidence he would Withdraw from the
case. He attacked the Judge and Attor-
ney Jordan and was called to time
Attorney Jordan moved for a dismissal
and there was another scene. in which
Woodwork referred to Rev. Donald NJ.
Ross.
II think" said the Judge, "that Ross
was honest in his intentions, but he has
been fooled by somebody. Clergy as
a rule, don't understand the tricks OF men.
Ross seemed to want to get even with
Hudelson, and in doing so neglected the
Christian spirit of not seeking Tor revenge.
Why were you chasing around with A. p.
AS with affidavits in your pockets when
you were not mem ber of the order?"
Woodwork took the stand in answer to
this question and. attempted to throw the
blame upon Ross and was sharply Cross
examined by Jordan.
Finally it was decided 10 hear the argu.
ments Wednesday night

and the bow" 1t is several years since
Nine. Urso was last here.
She has had many callers since her ar
rival, among whom were a number of her
old friends. Nine. Urso has q company
with her, and will give her first per-
formance on Monday evening at Golden
Gate Hall.
During the series of concerts of Nine.
Urso she will bring among the novelties,
the Capriccio by Niels Gade, posthu-
nous work found in his papers and first
brought out in London by Herr Joachim
and in New York by Nine. Urso; caprice
de concert by Ernest Guiraud; Andante
Cantabile by Sgambati; studies by Paga-
mini, Rigaudon, Saint Saens and others.
These different works, with the excep-
ton of the Paganini studies, were first
played in America by Nine. Urso, who
also in recent years at the New York
Philharmonic Society introduced to the
American public the concerts of Rubin
stein in Il major, the concerts OF Max
Bruch No. 3, the concerts of Lassen, the
concerts of Joachim No. 8. all of which
shows new departure in violin literature.
Nine. Urso brings with her two magnI-
ficent violins, a Joseph Guarnerius del
Jesu, made in 1887, FOR which she has re-
fused recently 1900 guineas, and her
famous Lorenzo Guadaginni, considered
by the .connoisseurs the most perfect in
existence.
Among her collection OF bows, all made
by the famous maker Tourte, is one pre-
sented to her by Herr Joachim, when she
visited Berlin three years ago. DR.. Joa-
chin is now using one of Nine. Urso's
bows, a very fine one that was made for
the celebrated violinist Ballot.
The short series of three concerts to be
given next week will be the only ones in
which Nine. Urso will be heard this sea-

1t was decided to have a committee of

to have that street provided with better
railway facilities.
The board decided to hold conference
within few days with the committee of
the Board of Regents upon the Wilmer
ding School site.
A report was received from the commit

committee had endeavo to secure fair
and reasonable execution of the law gov
erning this subject. The board heartily
approved of the pure food laws, but be-
lieves that at present as administered by
the Board of Health 1t was doing great
and unnecessary injury to the dealers OF
the City as well as to the City itself. The
board believed that a reasonable notice
should be given to innocent parties selling

law that she makes such slow progress in
her search for the boiler of the wrecked
steamer ~Sunol, that fell out of the hull
when the little vessel was in collision
with the bark Olympic.
1t is well-known fact that the longer
the boiler lies on the bed of the bay the
less chance there is of recovering it, be-
cause of its tendency to sink into the ooze
of the bottom.
The wrecker is under contract by the
day to raise the machinery. so that it
really makes little difference to her own

search or not.
1t is not thought possible that the lead

is also searching, will ever be recovered.
