He was at the ranch of the Ogalalla
company when word was brought that
there was to be a lynching at Blue
Creek ranch, go miles distant. DR.. Pot
ter at once started with the intention of
preventing the deed. The prisoner, a
man named Wilson, had tied an enemy
on a broncho's back and set him adrift
on the prairie. DR.. Potter found two
cowboys guarding Wilson, who was to
be killed at sundown. The reverend
man implored the cowboys to save the
mans life but they refused. Then he
prayed with them, but made no impress
sion. At this point Dr. Potter took off
his coat and proceeded to thrash the
hard hearted COW punchers in a scien-
tific and satisfactory manner. Then. he
unbound Wilson, who jumped on a pony
and escaped.

THE SCHEME is A FARCE
CONGRESSMAN HARTMAN'S OPINION
OF THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Fayors Interference in Cuba-Expects No
Action-McKinley and Gage Working
to Perpetuate the Gold Standard.
Special Dispatch TO the Standard.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Washington, Dee. 6.-The New York
Herald in it's poll of the houses on the
Cuban question reports Carter as against
interference and Hartman as favoring
but not expecting action.
Representative Hartman says of the
presidents message:
1.-The president seems to have inherited
the foreign as well as the financial policy
of his predecessors. His acquiescence in
the scheme for autonomy for Cuba. pro-
posed by Spain, indicates that the same
power controls his administration that
dictated every official act of Mr. Cleve-
land. That power is relentless. It's patriot
ism is measured by How much there is
in it, Questions of the national honor
and humanity are of trivial Importance
in its estimation when compared with
the price of stocks and bonds. The auton-
omy proposed by Spain to Cuba is n farce.
1t comedies the right to Cuba to legislate
for herself but reserves to Spain the right
to veto and annul any such legislation.
To give u man the right TO manage his
business to suit himself long he
runs it to suit you, confers no right of
independent action.
THE presidents recommendations were
Just what everyone expected who knew
his past record on the money question.
In some unknown undetermined way, he
has "a hope that at some time in the dim
vista of the future, he will persuade
Great Britain to allow the United States
TO legislate for itself While this hope is
announced for the purpose of holding

Unexpected Difficulties Encountered in

Owing to unexpected difficulties in the

company finds itself unable to fulfill
the promise that its electric cars would

ed delays arise to further retard work,
he felt positive that the line would be
running by May ].
The exact route to follow has not yet
been given out, the company, be-
lieving that to maintain little discreet
silence on that subject for the present
at least would be to it's benefit.
Four cars will be run to begin with,
and when business iustifies. the num-
Der will be increased. The line viii be

STOPPED THE FUNERAL
The Unhappy Result of Neigh
bors' Idle Gossip.
UNDERTAKEN ARRESTED.
1t was Alleged That Mrs. Tuerck Died
from the Effects of Criminal Ope-
ration : The Charge Yves
Found to be False.

The funeral Of the late Mrs. Max
Tuerck which took place yesterday
afternoon, met with a slight INTERRUPT
fion just as the cortege was about TO
leave the family residence, 1922 Cali
dornia avenue. Brief as it was, the in
tcrruption could not but have been
painful and annoying TO the husband
and other relatives who were gathered
TO pay their last respects to the unfor-
aunate woman. The matter grew out
OF the idle gossip of neighbors. which
had reached the ears of Health Officer
Schultz. who felt. from the nature of
the talk that had been made. that il
was his duty to interfere and prevent
the funeral.
As already published in the Standard,
Mrs. Tuerck died early last Tuesday
morning. In order to admit of the
presence of her mother and brother,
who reside at Keyesville. Wyo., the
funeral was postponed until yesterday.
Even then the mother was unable to
attend. the fatigue of the long journey
having proved too much for her and
she was forced to remain at Rock
Springs, a station on the Union Pa
cific.
During the time intervening between
her death and the hour fixed for the
funeral, the body of Mrs. Tuerck was
kept at the rooms of the Butte Under
taking company. Shortly before the
remains were taken back to the late
home of the deceased. DR. Schultz. called
at the Office of the undertaking COM
pany and notified Joseph Richards, the
manager. not to hold the funeral until
an official investigation into the cause
of death could be made. as ii had been
reported that the woman had died from
the effects of a criminal operation.
Mr.. Richards being in possession of q
certificate from DIR. Renick. who, with
DIR. Kress. attended the woman and
was with her when she died. that death
had ensued from spasm and uterine
hemorrhage, concluded that an inquest
was unnecessary and had the body re-
moved to the family residence. In the
meantime DIR. Schultz had also given
notice to Coroner Tremblay to look into
the matter and to further stop proceed
ings until warrant could be issued
for the arrest of Mr.. Richards on the
charge of burying a body without the
proper permit from the health authorit-
les.
!, Detective Murphy was entrusted with
the duty of serving the warrant and ar
rested Mr.. Richards just as the funeral
was preparing to leave the house. Be
fore the officer arrived. however. the
coroner had appeared and made in
quiries of Mr.. Tuerck, the doctors and
othrs and found that the facts in the
case did not Justify a legal inquisition.
he having become satisfied that death
had ensued as already stated and that
