ASKS FOR PROTECTION.
Nellie teda Afraid Her Husband is Going
to Kill Her.

TO All her.
Great Falls, Dec. 30.-The elements of
what may prove tragedy are present
in this city. Some time ago a woman
going under the stage name of Nellie
Neda played an engagement at the
Stockholm concert hall. She was a
good performer and off the stage was
very quietly behaved body. one day
she appeared at the police station quite
agitated and said that she had q hus-
band whom she had left in Butte He
had been unl<ind to her. had repeatedly
beaten her and even threatened her life.
She had thought it best and safest to
quit him. and did SO. Now he had writ
ten her that he was coming to this city
and was going to keep his word as to
putting her out of the way. She asked
protection from him. The police told
her to go to the hotel and should he
appear refuse to see him and call the
police. ~
According to programme he eante in
last night on the train and Immediately
sought for her. The concert hall peo-
pie had been apprised by the officers of
the situation and when Mr.. Veda made
inquiry there he was given no assist
ance. He went to the office of the
morning local paper and inserted the
following advertisement:
'Notice.-If Nellie Veda will leave her
address at the Tribune office she will
receive important information"
Later, about o'clock in the morning
he found where she was. and went to
the hotel. The clerk refused to allow
him to go to the room and he vowed to
kill the woman. The police We're noti-
fed, and they arrested Veda. He was
at the station this morning, and so was
Nellie. He admitted his cruel treat
ment of her and promised that he
would leave town tonight. Under the
circumstances no arrest was made, but

BOLD WOLVES.
Northern Montana Ranchers Suffering
From Their Depredations.

rum AheiF representations.
Great Falls, Dec. 20.-Walter w.
Kline, who resides few miles up the
Sun River valley, arrived in the city
to-day in quest of traps with which TO
catch wolves. He says that the animals
are getting very numerous and bold in
the north of this city. The other night
a rancher living north of Benton lake,
Is miles from here, was aroused by the
noise made by his watch dogs, and on
going out found a calf which had its
tail and one haunch torn off by wolves.
These animals have become SO courage
Gus that they will follow the herds into
corrals. Kline has a large pack of
hounds and has to-day added five to his
pack. He has been in the Benton lake
country hunting the wolves and one of
his dogs was torn to pieces by them.
He believes that in order to reduce them
to a safe number the next legislature
will have to increase the bounty, as the
present one is not sufficient TO afford
an incentive to hunters.

IDAHO BEAR STORY.

Idaho Statesman. George w Ball tells
q Long valley bear story that has some

had occasion during his work as inspector

hands were strutting about anxious to
tell how they had killed bear. The
bear was there in evidence, but the stories
were soon found conflicting None was

GOLD QUAcKs.

a New York alchemist the other day
took about $40 worth of bullion to the
government assay office, and when it
tested over 900 fine, reported to the
newspapers that his formula for the
transmutation of other metals into gold
was q success. OF course, he keeps
his formula a secret. This has always
been the habit of alchemists, ancient
and modern Finding a way 10 make
500 worth of gold at a gross cost Of
so cents, they are illogical enough to
make money on the formula rather
than with it. Something like the clair
voyant who sends away everybody
happy with good fortune, but fails to
find a treasure trove for herself in the
stars
The incident in New York has in
spired a scientist TO give his views on
gold making to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat According to the latest
chemical theory, there is only one ele-
ment, of which all the rest, including
gold, are either compounds or variants.
Other theorists assume two or three
elements as basis for the rest. Still
another theory, which has been dis
cussed with great seriousness. is as
wild as anything imagined by the al
chemists Of the middle ages. Those
who attempt to master this system will
find their brains Keeling as they read
Of the curvature Of space" worthless
in the ether" and the like mysteries,
which after all are reducible to the pro
position that something is to be made
out Of nothing. Hence its absurdity.
According to the new chemistry, it is
possible that gold may be chemically
produced in the future, but Impossible
that ii should be done with our present
knowledge of chemical "synthesis'-
that is, of putting things together"
In fact, our chemistry at present is al
most wholly analytical, based on OBJ
servations made when taking things
apart" As a science, it is only a cen
fury old and nearly ali that time has
been devoted to analysis.
Describing the method Of making dia-
monds pursued in Paris by subiecting
charcoal TO certain degrees of heat, the
writer draws the conclusion that all
the rare metals are obviously the pro
duet of the greatest conceivable heat
and the highest conceivable pressure.
The richest gold region of America is
the great volcanic ridge stretching
from the Arctic circle almost to the
Antarctic. In this great laboratory ma

stances by intensifying her forces to
their highest pitch, producing heat
through the pressure Of the earthquake
movements. which raised the noun
tains from the original level OF the
paIeozoic plain. This heat and pres
sure made crystals Of gold and silver
bearing quartz through a natural pro-
cess, closely related to that through
which French scientists are now at
tempting to make diamonds. Whether
or not gold is a simple substance, it is
certain that it appears as a product

ditions which produce quartz as what
