IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Two Informations Filed Against
O'Donnell for Forgery.
A TRIAL FOR JENIKSELA
Charged With Assault With Deadly
Weapon - Joseph Sn1eizer Dis
charged-A Decision in the
Butte & Boston Case.

County Attorney Connolly yesterday
filed two informations against Joseph
O'Donnell, charging him with forgery.
On the 7th of last December, under the
name of Robert O'Toole he gave the
NJ. ]. Council company an order on
wages claimed to be due him by the
Butte & Boston Mining company for
$3.50, and on the same day he defraud-
ed the Siegel company out of $685. by
similar order. O'Donnell was ar
raagned and took until Monday to plead.
Peter Breen and Guy Reed were ap-
pointed to appear for him.
An informal ton was also filed against
Jacob Jenksela, the young Austrian
who used a knife with almost deadly
results on Con MAXI on the 22d of last
December He is charged with assault
in the first degree. Lewis A. Smith was
appointed to defend him. and he will
plead on Monday.
Another information was filed against
Barney Strasser, charging him with re-
ceiving stolen property. The property
was a saddle and bride belonging to
Emil Nease. Strasser is out on bail.
Joseph SmeiZer, charged with per-
Jury, was discharged from custody yes
Connolly. The latter filed a. statement
in court in which he said that Smeizer
was bound over to the district court by
Justice of the Peace Nichols upon the
charge of perjury in having falsely
sworn, in a trial before Justice Smith
in a case wherein M. D. Leehey was
plaintiff and Smeizer was one of the
defendants. that he had not worked
for the Butte & Boston Mining COM
pany under the name of Joseph Smith.
The testimony produced at the prelmi-
nary hearing. as the county attorney
is informed and believes, was sufficient
to convince the court that Smeizcr had
perjured himself upon that point, but
tnasmuch as the point or matter testi-
fed to was not material to the issue
then pending, the county attorney is of
the opinion that no crime has been COM
1nitted under the law as decided, and
therefore asked leave not to file an in
formation against SmeiZer and that the
defendant be discharged.
The Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany got another decision from Judge

DENIES TIE ALLEGATION
Mrs. Plat Declares That She Is Not a
pnlitiCian.

A woman very conspicuously in pub
lie notice of late is Mrs. Thomas c.
Plat of New York. Her recent cause
for distinction arises from a remark
she made at a small reception assem-
bled in honor of the wife of ii promi-
nent senator now very conspicuous in
Washington, VINO was spending few
days in New y ork. During the dinner
the question of notoriety arose and each
lady present expressed how she felt
concerning the different ways in which
she had been represented to the out
side world.
II object to having it said that am
in politics, remarked Mrs. Plat. Il
frankly confess that ] admire Mr..
Platts political aCumen and often offer
him a few suggestions" she added
/ with a telling look at the senator, but
I never take politics seriously, and re-
gard it as an amusement and recrea-
ton just as other ladies enjoy maxi
ing embroidery and practicing riding
| and driving"
Mrs. Plat is the most transformations
woman Imaginable. She is tall and
! matronly with keen, dark eyes that
| Immediately attract an honest person,
! but are a terror to an unfriendly intru-
der. Her hair is dark, verging on gray,
and her voice is low and musical. Mrs.
| Plat dresses with rare good taste and
| is the owner of some famous dia-
monds.
During the winter she makes her
| home with her husband at a very fash
! ionable hotel facing Madison square.
! which is famous the world over as the
| ''hotal where presidents are made" on
| account of the number of distinguished
| politicians who reside there and the
| large political committee that have
their Headquarters in it.
Until recently Mrs. Plat always ac-
companied her husband to state and
| national conventions, and had an eX-
| tensive knowledge of national politi-
clans, but of late her health has inter
fered with travel She is a clever bus
| mess woman and attends to her sew
eral interests herself, Mrs. Plat does
not care for women's clubs, nor does
she lavish her time on charities. but she
does a great amount of good of which
no one knows except herself and the
| parties befriended.
That she is thoroughly feminine is
shown by Mrs. Platt's extreme fond
ness for cats. The walls Of her apart
ments are adorned with portraits OF
! famous feline beauties, and 1t is sale
that she owns handsome AnGora that
has been trained to do eYerything-eX-

TAKLA-M AKAN.
Dead city OF n Forgotten People In
Central Asia.

Dead CITY OF a Forgotten People In
Central Asia.
Interest is being revived in the bur-
led CITY of Takla-Makan and the dead
forests around it by DR.. Sven Hedin,
the Swedish explorer. in the desert OF
Cobb. central Asia, at an elevation OF
between 5000 and $4,000 feet above
sea level. DR.. Hedin considers that
the site of this city now exceeds in
dreariness and desolation all the other
desert parts of the earth, and, yet,
under the sand-drifts he found unde-
niable evidence of the existence OF a
great and populous city, mostly built
of poplar wood, whose inhabitants
were far advanced in arts, religion
and industry, and whose very name
has been lost to the world for over
1000 years. The find has even riyaled,
from the pathological standpoint, those
which In Mashonaland would appear TO
rave revealed the habitat of a very
ancient community who have been lost
sight of since early biblical times.
They appear to have been a very large
colony of gold-diggers and wheat
growers who had their outlet at Exon
Geber. on the gulf of Akaba, and 1t Is
quite probable that they were the COM
munity from which King Solomon
drew a great portion of his enormous
supplies OF gold.
