the time of the murder she manifested
no concern whatever to learn who was
the perpetrator of the deed and took no
interest in the efforts to uncover the
assassin. In fact, her indifference was
the subject Of general comment and
was one of the chief causes of attract
ing suspicion to herself. She never even
expressed desire, so far as is known,
to have the guilty party punished until
she found herself in Jail with the shad-
ow of the gallows over her brother and
the gates of the penitentiary yawning
to receive her mother and herself.
This being Sunday, District Attorney
DeVlin did not come up from his home
in Vallejo, and Sheriff Savage is still
confined to his house with the mumps.
In the absence of these two officials
nothing definite can be said regarding
the date Of the preliminary hearing
1t may be held some day the latter part
of the present week. in case the pros
ecution can get its witnesses here by
that time, as some of them live at a dis
tance. However, as a few are not yet
located it is more than likely the hear
ing will not come up before some time
next week.
Among the witnesses who viii be
summoned to testify by the prosecution
are the following: Lucy Owens, VIII
sons housekeeper, who saw the old
rancher shot down before her eyes; Ada
Rice, niece of Mrs. Owens, who was
stopping at the Wilson house on the
night of the murder; Daniel Wilson Jr.,
son of the murdered man, who informed
his mother that his father was about
to deed his ranch to Virgie O'Brien;
William Craig, Mrs. M. Hayes, Mrs.
Frank Carney and Sam Riley of Sell
bys, whose testimony is depended on to
connect Miller with the crime; Charles
Naples, who notified the people at the
McEwen ranch of the murder; George
Neary of Napa, who was employed on
the Wilson ranch and was first on the
scene of the killing: Henry Carpenter,

her because her father had promised to

Promise of an Abundance of Counterfeit
Stones as Good as Any.

From the New York Evening Post.
Manufacturers of imitation jewelry
have lately met with ouch great sue
cess that it is said the sale of genuine
jewelry in this city is less than ever
before, and it is also said on good au-
thority that large amounts of capital
are soon to be invested in the manu-
facture of imitation jewelry. For some
time past it has been possible to obtain
imitation jewelry in France and Eng
land which is difficult of detection by
experts, but the business has never
before been taken up in this country
to any great extent.
The principal manufacturers expect
to deal in jewels of their own manufac-
ture, which are said to be extraordin-
ary fine limitations of the real stones,
and will have a guaranteed life of 90
years. The diamonds are a COM
position of glass, lead and carbon, tip
ped with platinum, which is harder
than gold. Every real stone, except
a diamond, is transparent; without the
tip of platinum these diamonds"
would also be transparent, but with it

MRS. BANNON'S TONGUE
Was Still in Working Order
When She Was Sentenced.
SHE ROASTED THE COURT
Judge Kennedy Fines Her One Hun
dred and Twenty Dollars - She
Will Stay Sixty Days in
the County Jail.

Although Mrs. Margaret T. Bannon
had taken the statutory "a hours in
which to receive sentence, this had not
sufficed her, and when she was arraign-
ed last evening before Police Magis-
trate j. NJ, Kennedy, she had not COM
pletely cooled off, and again did she
burst out in one of her eloquent ora
tions.
Her only objection last evening was
that she was not allowed to tell the
audience her opinion of the Anaconda
police force.
The court room was crowded to the
doors at 7:3O o'clock. when Mrs Ban
non was arraigned to receive sentence.
All of the county officials who had re-
ceived such a roasting the day before
We're there, but they were very careful
to keep out of the womans sight, for
she seemed determined to spare none
of them. Night Chief O'Brien was not
in the court room, and he afterwards
stated that he wouldn't have seated
himself near the woman for a $40 bill.
When Mrs. Bannon was taken into
court by Deputy Sheriff Walsh. she
glanced around and seemed disappoint-
ed at not seeing any of her friends.
She took her seat in front of Judge
Kennedy, and announced that she was
ready to receive sentence.
Margaret Bannon," said Judge Ken
nedy, you have been found guilty of
disorderly conduct and l will impose
upon you fine of s12O, OF in default
of payment that you be confined to the

fine is paid, at the rate of 81 a day"

pie will not be ashamed of me. I'll go

Deputy Sheriff Jack Walsh took hold
of her arm and led her to the Jail stairs.

But Mrs. Bannons last words were
not heard in the court room, for just
then the door was closed and Mrs.
Bannon had seen the last of the famil-
lar police court for 60 days.

ANACONDA NEWS.
.CLA|M TO Be PRIESTS
Two Strange Visitors Appeared
in Anaconda Last Night.
THEY MAY BE lMPOSTORS
Father Follet, Whom They Visited, Is
at a Loss to Account for Them.
He Doubts Genuineness Of
Their Papsrs.

Two men, representing themselves as
Catholic priests, but who are believed
to be impostors, arrived in the city last
evening at o'clock from Butte. Their
names could not be learned but they
are thought to be Syrians. They wear
the regulation Roman clergy collar and
are both shabbily dressed. They pa
raded the streets of Anaconda early
last evening and attracted considerable
attention.
+, 1t is believed that the intention Of the
two men is to collect money, but for
Z what purpose is unknown.
! The first place they struck in the
city was the parsonage of St. Pauls
church. There they were received by
Rev. Father Folet. They could talk
! but little English and it was with diff
ficulty that their words could be under
stood. In the course of their CONVEX
sation they could not say the word
money" but instead they would rub
their fingers together to indicate that
that was what they were after.
We come Colorado" said one of the
two to Father Follet. That not our
home. No. our home old country We
want" and then he rubbed his fingers
Yes. that's what want"
Father Follet then asked the one who
was doing the talking how they trav-
eleu. and again the man rubbed his
fingers. They were asked to show their
papers, and they took from their pock-
cts papers in which Father Follet could
find nothing to show they were genuine
Catholic priests.
After a few minutes more conversa-
ftion, they left the parsonage and went
ito the Pacific lodging house on Main
street, but retained no room. They
went to several other lodging houses,
but it is not known where they put up
at, for everywhere it is known they
visited they said the prices We're too
high and left.
Father Follet does not know what to
think about the two men.
'They may be priests for all know"
said he last evening. Il would not
want to say anything against them for
they may be gentlemen, but the pa
pers they showed l don't think were
genuine. When a priest is going to a
place where he is not known, he is
given papers by the bishop, and these
will be recognized in any land. The
men have no authority from the bishop
ITO collect any money in this town.

willing to Tell.

Sometimes it is a pleasure to answer
questions, even if the ouestioner may
put them in an unpleasant way:
What do you do for living?" asked
a lawyer frowning horribly at a
hatchet-faced young man who was un-
dergoing discrimination.
Il, SIR" answered the witness, hastily
diving into his side pocket, ''am the
agent for Doctor Korker's Celebrated
Corn and Bunion Destroyer. Greatest
remedy of the age; used by all the
crowned heads of Europe: never known
to fail to remove the most obstinate
corn in less than twenty-four hours, or

blance to the genuine stone. These
goods are mounted in 14-carat gold,
and so artistically that. when worn.
the platinum tipping cannot be seen.
An infinite variety of designs, copied
from the best real models, are shown
and at price which is about so per
cent. less than the genuine.
All the colored stones-rubies, sap
phires, emeralds, and turquOises-are
also manufactured in a like way, and
are similar with the exception of the
turquoise, to the doublet, except that
they are much harder and are made of
real stone (garneD and crystal. They
are so hard that the surface can be
filed and no blemish made on the
stone. AS the genuine pearls are the
mostly costly of gems, so do the imita-
tion pearls take the lead in price. They
are made of fishskin and secret COM
position The manufacture of some
especially good imitation pearls, known
as Venetian pearls" is a lost art, the
process having been invented by poor
Venetian, whose secret died with him.
There are about 10000 of them in this
country bought in Paris about 10 years
ago; they are very hard, can be step
ped on without sustaining the slightest
injury, and will also bounce like a rub
ber ball. The difficulty in the manu-
facture of pearls is in obtaining the
orient. or luster, similar to the genuine
gems. and it is said that very often
out of 10000 manufactured few will
be marketable. and they are almost as
difficult to match for necklaces as the
