THEORIES NOT NUMEROUS
Bloody Bundle Mystery as Deep
as Ever.
INTEREST Is DYING OUT
A Gentleman From Deer Lodge Says He
Followed the Track. but Was I'm
to Find Any Bloody
TraiI' at All.

No further news was received yes
terday concerning the discovery Of the
bundle of biood-stained clothing at
Deer Lodge. Inquiry at the sherins
office elected the information that one
Of the deputy sheriffs went down TO
Deer Lodge yesterday, and that this
gentleman would look over the ground.
Since the discovery of the fact that
Michael Collins is alive and well. and
that he is not the victim of the alleged
mysterious murder. IL appears that
theories are few and far between. Peo-
pie who are in the city from Deer
Lodge every day are not evincing a
great deal Of interest in the affair. IL
seems To be an impression that has
gained general consideration here that
the bloody find il not such an import
ant thing after all. In support of this
view IL the fact that. so far as Is
known, no effort has been made by he
authorities To drag the Deer Lodge
river at the point where the blood
marks were found upon its banks, in
an endeavor To find the body Of the
victim of the murderer, if victim and
murderer there really be.
a gentleman from Deer Lodge said
yesterday that he had followed the
tracks Of those who had first gone over
the bloody trail" but that he had been
unable tn find any bloody trail" and
the only blood he saw was upon the
fences, as referred tn in previous ac-
counts. He aid the last blood spots
he found before coming to the river
were II yards from the stream on a
fence. and that he was not able to dis
cover any blood marks between the
fence and the river. Nor had he been
able To discover any blood spots or
trail between the willows Of Cotton
wood creek. where the bloody bundle
was found. and the river. with the ex-
ception of the stains on the fence.
However. this gentleman passed over
the ground at a time subsequent to the
passage over the trail Of the officers,
and therefore the traces may have been
concealed by snow or the footsteps of
others.
At any rate. IL is sincerely To be
hoped that the person may be found to
whom belonged the package Of clothing.
and that II any crime has been COM
mitted. the authorities may be success
full i'm discovering the identity Of the
murderer.

4 very heavy snowstorm and bliz-

she preached for the first time L. the
congregation Of 81. Paul's at La

some Reflections as Ia why Many Marry
Engli-hmen.

Why does the American girl marry
the Briton? Has she n adequate
justification? Do you suppose il pays
her and can such a choice on her part
be defended on large grounds as pro-
motive of the greatest good of the
greatest number? Is 1t q fact. as has
been fiippantly suggested. that she
move to England to get country life
because We have no good roads here
yet, or. on the contrary. can IL be DEM
on strated that one reason our
try roads are so bad is that the Amer
lean girl cannot abide the country and
promptly carries her man off to town
at the earliest m that sees his
endeavors blessed with the necessary
income? Is 1t her fault that country
interests tend too much to fall to the
care of a res'duum that Is too poor
To get away, or has the country hfe
not much to do one way or the other
with her British prOpensities?
To be honest. there are other con-
ceivable reasons for marrying an Eu
glish gentleman besides his country
roads. He may be a charming gen
tleman-they are said to be 81 once
in a while-who car win a wife ny

vantage over his American brother is

women who ventured to assert that
the feminine eye rejoiced more in the
type of male human that treads the
pavements of Piccadilly n Pail Mall
than i'm the contemporaneous pedestri-
ans of Fifth avenue and Broadway.
Or may he it is his superior stolidity
