serted him for H. Russell Ward was in

Il am sorry you have found me here"

ther publicity in connection with this
sad affair. However, what can I do for
you?"
Are the reports true?" he was asked.
"that you have decided to forgive your
wife, and that you are going to meet her
in a few days and affect a reconcila-
tion?"
I have no intention whatever of
doing so,' he replied gravely, but en-
phatically.
What are your plans ?" he was asked.
Il intend to remain here for few
days. he said, then 1 shall go to Eu-
rope for a rest"

against Mr.. Ward, physical or legal?"

worth while to do So"
viii you institute divorce proceed
ings against your wife,"

cabled money to her husband in San
Francisco, and is going to return to
him?"
NO" answered Colonel Bradbury,
'and 1 don't care anything about them.
I have said all / care to now"

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
Given an Enthusiastic Reception
at Walla WaIIa,

WALLA WALLA CWash.), July 13.-
Walla Walla to-day accorded William
Jennings Bryan an enthusiastic recep-
ton. Excursion trains from Spokane,
Wallace, Wardner and the Palouse
country brought in about 1000 people,
while Dayton, Waitburg and the sur
rounding country contributed 5000.
The farming country about Walla
Walla sent its quota, and a conserva-
tive estimate places the number of peo-
pie who heard the silver orator at 90
600. Business was entirely suspended
during the address.
Bryan was brought to Walla Walla
from Pendleton on a special train, and
a monster parade escorted him to the
Paine School grounds, where he spoke
for an hour and twenty minutes. I'm
mediately after he returned to Pendle-
ton, where he addressed an immense
crowd in the open air.
Bryan left for La Grande this even
ing on a special train, and after an ad-
dress there he will take the regular

NICHOLAS C. CREEDEs DEATH.
Coroner's Jury Returns Verdict
of Accidental Poisoning.

LOS ANGELES, July 13.-An accl-
, dental case of poisoning by an over
q dose of morphine taken to relieve PAIN
was the verdict of the Coroner's jury as
10 the cause of the death of Nicholas
c. Creede, the mining king, who was
found dead last evening in the garden
Of his. residence on Pearl street
During the inquest very little refer
ence was made to his wife, from whom
he separated six months ago, and
whose return was conjectured to be one
of the causes of depression which is
said to have been observed in Creede Of
late.
All questions asked at the inquest
We're evidently intended to bring out
the contention made by the friends Of
the deceased that it was entirely by
accident that he took an overdose OF
morphine. The testimony went TO
show that Creede had occasionally used
morphine to allay neuralgia pains, and
that it was entirely possible that he had
accidentally taken too much
After a short deliberation the jury re-
turned a verdict to that effect.
Creede's lawyers are unable to say
whether or not he left a Will, and out

ten from 1924 to 1850, and there is
