WIFE POISONING CASE.
WIN. Mills Preliminary Ex-
animation in Progress.

The story of the alleged poison
ing of Mrs. VIM. Mills near Pryor
Greek in 1892 by her husband, as
detailed by the witnesses in the
trial before the commissioner yes
terday and today, was intensely
interesting, and whether it was the
incoherent utterance of a mind
clouded by the use of opiates or
enfeebled by wasting sickness, it
is still interesting, and was listen.
ed to by a crowdsd.oomt reoms
) VIM. Mills is a Cherokee Indian
born and reared into manhood in
the neighborhood in which be now
resides, and some 20 years or more
ago married q white woman, a sis.
ter to Ghas. and VIM. Mcclellan,
ut her home at Bsonsboro, Ark.
Mills wife was a frail, sickly,
woman and pryor to her death had
for a long time been constantly
under the care Of physician.
The night Mills made the state
ment detailed by the witnesses
was little more than month
ago, and he was, as thought,
and as those who watched by his
bedside thought, in the last stages
of an attack of pneumonia. The
physician had given him up and
gone home, and the world seemed
to be slipping from beneath his
feet. A hypodermic injection OF
morphine was given by one of the
watchers and the sick man an
nounced that be wanted to die,
but before dying desired to make
confession. Then he told in a.
clear unclouded way how he had
opened capsule and put into it a
little arsenic and given it to his
sick wife in 1892; and then he said
that did the deadly work" He
'said he felt like he wanted the
world TO know about it before he
died, but that be had no hope of
the salvation Of his soul. A wom-
an he said had made a fool of him,
and thought to get rid Of his sick
wife in order TO marry her. A
minister was sent for and he made |
substantially the same statements |
to him, and 10 others. For sever
al hours the sick man talked to
those around him, and made ar
engagements for the proper dispo-
sition Of his property and the care
of his children.
And now the question fer the
courts to decide, or one of the
questions at least is, was the man
in his right mind, and was his
story prompted by the presence of
death, and was his the wonted
tranquility Of the dying hour. or
was it the hallucination and phan-
tasmagora Of a mind clouded by
narcotics and unconscious from
the effects and atrophy Of disease.
Mills was held by the commits
sioner without bond to answer to
the charge of murder at Wagon
er on the oath day of April, His
release will be sought through a.
writ Of habeas corpus, on the
ground that the court is without
jurisdiction.

LEGEND OF A RICH STRIKE
The Church of the HoIy
Virgin.

we'll as in the United States, fell
into a storytelling mood this
morning. "a great many Ameri.
cans" he said, "know of the won.
derful catecombs of Guanajuato,
but while they have no counter
part in the known world, there
are other points of great interest
in this wonderful Mexican city,"
The church of the holy Virgin
is situated 1850 feet below the
surface Of old mother earth, and is
probably the most curious place Of
worship to be found on this conti-
nent. The furnishings and fittings
are quaint and quite elaborate,
costing upwards of quarter of a
million dollars in silver.
This little old underground
church is located on the deepest
drift workings, in the Serena
mine, in the city of Guansjuato,
Old Mexico. This mine was dis
covered by the Spaniards in the
year of 1867, and worked con-
tinuously by them until about 1847.
The records show that more than
$3.50, ,000,000 has been taken from
the mine.
The account of the old church,
erected by Juan Guiaddo, an old
Indian miner, hundred and ten
years ago. and of the legend con-
nected with it, was obtained by
Mr.. Dickinson from credible
sources. The story detailed is
story follows. Old Juan Guiaddo
obtained permission TO work down
in the lower level, promising to
give certain per centage OF what
he took out, to the church. One
day while at work he concluded to
ask the Holy Virgin, in solemn
prayer, to direct him to where
"rich strike" might be made. He
prayed long and feryently, and at
last heard a peculiar noise very
near him-a sound which seemed
to startle him. He crept
along in the darkness to the spot
where the rapping appeared to
be, and there struck blow with
bis pick. To his surprise and sat-
isfaction he uncovered a large body
of rich ore which netted him $751;
10000 The strike caused some
little excitement, and old Juan had
no difficulty in securing the aid of
miners to help him secure the hid
den treasure. During the next
few years there was no poor
in Guanajuato. He established
eating houses for the hungry and
erected comfortable homes for the
homeless. His money was spent
with lavish hand while 1t lasted.
The prayer he offered was full of
promises. He said he would not
only build church on the spot
from which the treasure was dug,
but would erect o handsome church
on the surface. The church stand
ing there near the entrance to the
main shaft cost more than a mil
lion dollars, and the three fine al
lars are inlaid with gold and pre-
cious woods. On each altar there
are one hundred life size images,
all guided Nth pure gold.
The undsrground church was
we'll lighted when I visited it, and
,ur gui3e informed us that the
satchnso neyer allowed it to be
lark for moment. The altar
contained 1keral large old paint
nea d s<e value, as well as
1umbs sized statues Wei

President Mckinley was unable to see
callers, Monday. and remained in his
private apartments. At intervals dur
ing the last several days he has been
in the hands Of his dentist and is now
suffering somewhat from neuralgia of
the face. He hopes to be in his office

The new eXtradition treaty between
the United States ana Mexico. which
went into effect Sunday. is drawn sub
stantially on the lines of the renowned
treaty. with one important exception.
This is the paragraph relating to the
exercise of extra territorial jurisdic-
ton. On that point the treaty pre-
scribeS that such jurisdiction shall not
be exercised by either party except
over their own consuls in the other
country and in the case of counter
feiters and users of false national seals.
These are generally regarded as very
proper exceptions. Thus the Mexican
government comedies a question that
promised at one time to involve the
two countries in very serious entangle-
mentS, the occasion being the attempt
of the Mexican government to punish
the American Cutting, for criticisms
published in his paper in Texas.
