Mrs. H. w. Freeman'S Injuries
May Prove Fatal
OF A RUNAWAY
An Accident That Caused COnSter-
nation in Local COlOred
Circles.

Mrs. H. w. Freeman, a colored woman
is lying at the point of death at her home
in Dakota alley, the result of a runaway
which occurred at Columbia Gardens
about Z o'clock last evening, and col
ored circles are somewhat surprised over
the revelations Of the accident, particu-
larry the husband of Mrs. Freeman.
1t seems that Mrs. Freeman has been
going out occasionally with Nat Collins,
and that their meetings were entirely
without the knowledge of the woman's
husband. Yesterday afternoon, during
her husbands absence from home, she
went riding with Collins. They drove up
in the hills back of Columbla Gardens,
and en- route stopped at the various re-
sorts and drank until they were both in
toxicated. On their return their horse
became frightened n ran away. Just
in front of the entrance to the gardens
the vehicle collided with a trolley post.
the buggy was overturned and the wo-
man was thrown violently against the
post. Collins, who was not seriously hurt,
procured another vehicle and brought
Mrs. Freeman to her home. She received
a severe scalp wound, but her most ser
ous injuries are internal. This morning
she was suffering intense pain n her
recovery is said to be improbable.

MAY CHANGE PLANS.
FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
A BE DEFERRED UNTIL AR
WAL OF VOLUNTEERS.

Many of the prominent citizens of Butte
are OF the opinion that the Fourth of july
celebration in Butte should be deferred
until the arrival of the Montana soldiers
now in the Philippines, who will prob
arrive early in August. Several
well known business men have been talk
ing tins matter up, and will probably
make the suggestion to the committee at
the next meeting of the Fourth of JULY
committee. 1t is argued that the money
collected for the Fourth of July celdbra-
tlon could be used to better advantage in
giving the brave boys of the state a roval
reception than in the expenditure of
money for fireworks and music on the
Fourth, when more than half the people
or the city are out of town.
An effort will be made to have the
Montana soldiers mustered out at Helena
instead of San Francisco, as it is feared

next Monday evening to consider the
matter.

BEGINNING Of THE END
THE LARKIN CASE WILL BE CON-
CLUDED IN THE NEAR FUTURE,

The beginning of the end of the Larkin
case is in sight-that is, as far as the
taking Of the testimony in concerned.
Whereat no tears will b. shed by the
reading public. 1t has had the, dryness
Of Mumm without the effervescence. and
has dragged it's weary length along since
April IS. In point of number of witnesses
examined it breaks all previous Montana
records and has made a mark that will
not soon be reached again. The fChinese

distanced and there is more to come. The
Butte & Boston people concluded the in
PRODUCTION Of their evidence yesterday
afternoon and the hearing was adjourn
ed until next Wednesday at 10 O'Clock,
when the taking of testimony in rebuff
tai, IN behalf of F. Augustus Heinze, the
administrator of the Larkin estate, will
begin. Examiner Blake endureth much.
but there is a limit, and the limit in this
case will be 20 days. Then the tortuous
testimony taking will be at an end.
The attorneys on behalf of the estate
are Charles r. Leonard, Mediation & Cot
ter, and Corbett & Clayberg. For the
Butte & Boston people the legal array
comprises Forbis. Evans, r. b. Howell
and E. w. Harvey. But the battle has
been fought principally under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Leonard for the administrator
and Mr.. Evans for the Butte & Boston.
The testimony, which comprises 5000
typewriter pages. deals largely with
whether James Larkin was sane or in
sane, when, in 1893, he made the transfer
of the property to the Butte & Boston.
Many good and reputable men have
sworn that he was as crazy as a March
hare, while as many others have sworn
that he was the personitication of bust
ness sagacity and wisdom. His personal
habits a " been subjected to a searching
examination, and his weaknesses and
strength have been brought out by the
witnesses for either side, and were ne
alive 1T is not at all probable that he
| would enjoy the situation.

HI DEADLY DUST.

The dust in the De Lamar mill at De
Lamar, New, is reported to be killing off
the employees by the wholesale. The lat
est victim reported is Frank Garter of
st. George. who died on the 10th. In
the case of Carter an autopsy was de-
cided upon, to determine what effect the
dust had on the lungs, and it resulted
in a statement by the physicians who
conducted the examination. to the effect
that one lung was entirely clogged up
with dust, and the air cells encased in a
t~issuous substance which completely de-
stroyed the functions of that organ; the
other lung was fast approaching the same
condition when death relieved the suf-
ferer.

THE WOMAN FLUKED.
AND THE JUDGE TAXED THE COSTS
TO HER.

Justice Nichols has given Mrs. Allie
Briggs something over which she can do
a little thinking. A short time ago she
appeared before the county attorney and
sWore to a complaint charging Arthur
Spalding, Frank Fisher. and John McCar-
thy with the larceny of a watch and over
coat valued at $50. The three men were
located i'm Billings and brought back to
Butte at the expense Of the state. Yes
terday afternoon they We're given a pre-
liminary hearing before Justice Nichols
n discharged at the request of Roy AL
ley, one of the deputy county attorneys,
because there was no evidence to show
that they were guilty. In fact, Mrs.
Briggs said she knew nothing about the
value of the articles stolen, and was not
real sure they had been stolen. Both
the justice and Mr.. Alley realized the
fact that she was trying to shield the
defendants. especially Spalding. and when
the judge turned them loose he charged
the costs up to her. They aggregated
$3.50. 1t was known that she had been
sending Spalding meals at the county
jail. and it was also broadly intimated
that she had employed John Bloor to
defend him. When asked on the witness
stand If she had not employed an attor-
ney to defend Spalding, Bloor objected
to the question, but the justice told him
he was not appearing for Mrs. Briggs.
and as 1T was important that the state
should be- protected against the bring
ing Of groundless prosecutions and the
shielding Of defendants, the question
should be answered.
Mrs. Briggs said she had not, but Bloor
was her attorney generally. She had not.
she alleged, employed him in the case at
issue. She had paid him money only yes
terday. she said, but it was on another
account.
John Bloor was sworn and asked if he

saying the codes gave him the right to

You have stated you are not her, attor-
ney, and you will therefore not be vio-

swering,' said the justice.

torney generally, but not in this particu-
lar case" retorted Bloor.
Answer the question:" said the judge.
Just then Mr.. Alley came to Bloor's
rescue by requesting that the Defend
ants be discharged and the court COM
piled; otherwise Mr.. Bloor might lave
been given the alternative of answering
the question or going to tail.
