DEIGNAN CASE.
It Occupies the Time Of the
Jury-W Session.

The concluding testimony and argu-
ments in the Deignan divorce case &C.
cupied the iury-waived session of the
superior court all day yesterday. Late
an the afternoon the court adjourned,
taking the matter under advisement.
The defense yesterday brought out
the fact that Mrs. Deignan relies of
connivance almost entirely. She claims
. that she never, after marriage, drank
antoXicants except such as her husband
\ furnished her. She claims that it was
Deignan's nightly custom to bring her
home from his saloon pint bottle of
whiskey and twice a week ten bottles
of ale.
Knowing that the slightest quantity
of liquor went to her head she says
Deignan repeatedly forced her to drink
and sometimes with drugged liquor
After she was drunk the officers came
/ in and took her to the station, as she
says, at his request.
Mrs. Deignan made the startling
Z statement that when she threw her
arms about her husband and kissed
him outside the court before the case
twas called, Deignan tod her that he
wanted no divorce and that probably
none would be granted. The libellee
rays she has no other desire than to
I'VE with her husband, although at
Wines he may have used her cruelty.

at the time that one Of their number had
turned traitor and given the plans to the
Beers, but now the secret is known.
The old warrior enlisted the services Of
the barmaids at Johannesburg. in the DO
lltical secret service. Through them he
learned that new men were being enlist
ed in the Cape police and that new guns
were being shipped, week after week,
from England. Through the same source
he was informed Of the attempts that
were being made by English politicians
to force the hands Of the government Of
the Orange Free State in case war should
be declared by the British government
against his country. The Englishmen
babbled all this over their cups, and tho
barmaids. winning smiles and bright
eyes never CAV them the suspicion that
they We're telling stories of vita, import
ance.
No sooner had the pretty barmaids
enticed from the sturdy colonists their
important secrets than Dom a was
informed. The old statesman knew how
to parry blow with blow. To the amaze.
ment of the British, no sooner had they
increased their force of available fight

they We're Informed that Dom Paul had
enlisted a still larger number of men. No
sooner had their guns arrived from Eng
land than they found out that the Beers
also had obtained, from a firm in Ger
many, a larger numbe of weapons OF
still better manufacture. BY means OF
always being forewarned Kruger ward

Young O'Neil'S Narrow Escape
From Death.
STRUCK ON THE TEMPLE
A Lively Stable Episode of This After
noon That Came Near Re-
sulting Seriously,

A one sided fight which almost resulted
in a fatality, occurred at the Free Silver
livery stable about / O'Clock this after
noon. The victims name is Harry
O'Neill. a boy who is employed at the
stable, and the name of the youths assail-
ant is unknown as all concerned are en-
deavoring to keep the matter quiet.
1t seems that O'Ne.ll was riding a wild
horse and the animal ran into a fence
near the barn, breaking the fence down.
This led to a quarrel between O'Neill and
the nameless man. The boy expressed his
opinion of the man in language quite in
keeping with the surroundings, and the
man retaliated by picking up a large
stone and throwing it at the boy. The
stone struck O'Neill on the temple, knock
ing him to the ground and rendering him
unconscious. He was more dead than
alive when picked up, and DR.. Bryant
was at once sent for. He dressed the boys
injury, which consisted of a fracture of
the outer plate of the temple bone, and a
three cornered cash in the scalp which
necessitated half a dozen stitches. I'm
der favorable circumstances the young
man will probably 20 blu it may be
several days before he is entirely out of
danger.
Evidently some understanding exists
between O'Neill and his assailant as the
boy refuses to talk about the episode
which came so near resulting in his death.
1t is understood that the man who hit the
boy has agreed to pay all expenses that
may be incurred by reason Of the as
sault, and an employe Of the stable
vouchsafed tine information that he re-
GREETED the occurrence very much. No ar
rests have been made.

At last he hedged up to ward the counter
with the following request:
II say, could one Of you Fellows go out
in the country about five miles and repair
a watch?"
"Why cannot the watch be brought
here?" was the reasonable reply.
well, you see, it's this way" said the
farmer. 1.-The watch belongs to a sick
man, and he has to have it beside his bed
SO as to tell when to take his doses"
Then the watch must be going all

H RAILROADS.
SHORT LINE WASHOUT-NORTH-
ERN PACIFIC TO RESUME
DOUBLE SERVICE.

The n~orthbound passenger train of the
Oregon Short Line. Que in this city at
1:45. is on the other side of a washout
which occurred near Pocatello early this
morning, and will not reach Butte until
a late hour tonight,
The Northern Pacific will resume its
double daily train service just as soon as
there. is business sufficient to warrant it
in doing So" said Charles S. Fee, general
passenger and ticket agent of that road,
to a Spokane reporter. 1.-The Northern
Pacific is just as anxious-yes, more So
cling public. There is not at the present
time sufficient business to justify the
enormous expense of another daily train
each way, so the indications are against
any change from present service.
Local business is excellent-in fact, is
unusually good. .Transcontinental bust
ness is nothing unusual. We have had
and have had to cut the trains in two
and run in two sections before. While
the passenger business we have is large
and most gratifying, it is not unusual"
Asked as to the rumor that a regular
passenger train service would be estab-
lished On the Central Washington branch.
In place of the mixed so-called accommo-
dalton train, Mr.. Fee said: THAT is an
other matter which depends entirely
upon the business. At present the travel
is not sufficient to justify putting a pass
enger train on the run. We are consid-
ering the matter, and If business in
creases, the train will go on promptly"
Mr.. Fee also stated that no changes
were contemplated in the present time
card. he said his visit here was on the
customary tour of inspection of the var
sous offices and that he would remain in
the northwest several weeks.
1t leaked out today that parties repre-.
senting the Vanderbilts and Union Pa
cif1c have approached Colonel McCune to
ascertain whether he would dispose of
the utah q Pacific. They met with no
encouragement. McCune is very inde-
pendent. having enough money to COM
plete his line and approaching the fact
that the. Vanderbilt ambition is looking
in his direction.
The fact that he was approached only
adds further proof to the statement that
the Vanderbilts are about to deyelop
transcontinental plans. An insider adj
mltted today that parties representing
the Vanderbilts had been looking up ter
minal property in San Francisco and
otherwise taking preliminary steps in the
transcontinental plans. They will not
mature, however. until after the Union
Faclnc-Northwestern-Oregon Short Line
consolidation.

A suit involving $115 in which Peter
Coppette was plaintiff and Peter Jano de-
PENDANT was tried in Judge Lindsay's
court today. The plaintiff alleged that
the defendant owed him the amount for
labor performed. The jury deliberated
three hours and returned a verdict in IA
vor of the plaintiff, but there were a num-
Der of special findings with which the
general verdict did not conform; SO the
gentlemen had to retire and rectify the
oversight by naming a specific amount
due plaintiff from the defendant.
