ments that had been placed at the
disposal of his wife.
Mrs John Biglin testified that Mr..
and Mrs. Dickert lived in her house
on Carbon street. They quarrclled
frequently. but she never knew of any
acts of violence.
Mrs Theophite Dickert, mother of
the libellant, said she frequently heard
her son abused by his wife. She was
in her sons house the night his wife
locked him out, Mrs. Dickert said
her husband could go to the devil If
he wanted to. but at all events she
would not let him in the house that
night.
Andrew Steinmitz testified TO some
unimportant matters and Mrs. Ange-
lima Steinmctz, Mrs. Rose Gilleskie,
Mrs. Mary Mazorkootz, Mrs. Agnes
Knee and Martin Woyshner testified
that Dickert asked them to see his wife
for him and endeavor to have her re-
turn and live with him. They said
Mrs. Dickert refused to return to her
husband and called him improper
names.
MRS. DICKERT'S STORY.
That closed the testimony for the
libelant and Attorney j. f. Gilroy
opened the case for the respondent.
Mrs. Dickert was the first witness
called in her own behalf She denied
that she had thrown things at her
husband or been cruel to him or that
she had ever tried to stab him or
threatened to poison him.
She charged that he had been very
unkind to her and on one occasion
when he came home from work and
found that his supper was not qutce
! ready he said he was going out to SGT
his supper and demanded money to
pay for it. When she refused to give
it to him he drew a revolver and com
PEELED her to give him the money. she
denied having used vile or abusive Ian
guage to him. and said he had WI
fully deserted her.
The quarter sessions docket was Of
fered in evidence to show that Dickert
was convicted of deserting his wife
| and is now by order of the court pay
ing $40 per month toward her support.
Mrs. Mary DOugher testified that she
was neighbor of the Dickerts when
they lived on Penn avenue, and re-
members that Dickert drew a revolver
and threatened to shoot his wife. That
closed the evidence.
The jury was of one mind about the
case and a few minutes after it went
out agreed upon verdict to the effect
that Dlckert is not entitled to the
diVorce he seeks. Mrs. Dicllert has the
custody Of their two daughters.

The domestic trouble of S. j. Dckert
and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Dickert,
formerly Miss Elizabeth Rider, of the
Twenty-first ward of this city, were
related in the main court room Yester-
day where the divorce case brought
by the husband was on trial before
Judge r. w. Archibald and a jury. The
jury was out but fifteen minutes de-
liberating on the case and returned a
verdict denying Dickert the divorce
prayed for.
A jury was sworn and the case opened
Tuesday afternoon, and when court
opened yesterday morning, the libel
liant, S. J. Dickert. was called to the
stand by his attorneys, John +. Scragg
and John r. Edwards. He said he
was married to his wife in the cathe
dral in this city in June, 1856, and they
lived together for seven years and two
children were born to them.
She abused him in various wavs he
said. One of her pastimes was to
throw stove lfters. pokers, stove lids
and like articles at him and she also
frequently called him all manner Of
vile names. one night in 1898 he was
out late, and when he returned home
he found the doors locked and the keys
in the locks, so that he might not
open them. He called to his wife to
open the doors, but she refused and
after calling him MANY unpleasant
names she told him to go elsewhere
and seek shelter for the night, and he
was compelled to do it
TRIED TO STAB HIM.
On another occasion he alleges that
his wife tried to stab him in the neck
with a butchers knife and at another
time she made a dash for him while
armed with brace OF table knives.
She also threatened to poison him, he
said.
In 1894 Dickert says he could stand
the treatment he received no longer
and went to New York. where he re-
IN@ined for nine months. Upon his
laturn they resumed their relations as
man and wife. but she soon fell into
WY old way Of treating him and he

Judge Lindsay and a commission
composed of Drs. Bernhelm and Shultz
yesterday inquired into the mental con-
ditions of Christina Hansen ana 10

charged and the latter ordered sent to

a moral degenerate, but not insane

was examined once several years ago
and ordered committed, but the judge
subsequently discharged her OF his own
motion and she left the state. rev
months ago she returned TO search Tor
her three children, VINO she declared
had been stolen from her at DeadWood
by man named Gieske, their father,
with whom she had lived for several

The benefit given by the Musicians
Mutual Protective association last even
ing to help swell the company funds OF
the three Butte companies of the Mon
tana regiment at Manila, was in a
measure a success, but not nearly as
great a one as was expected it would be
in view of the worthy purpose to which
the total proceeds were to be put. To
see the immense crowds that turned
out to the parade of the big band, COM
posed of the united forces of the Boston
& Montana and Alice bands and other
musicians which preceded the dances,
one was impressed with the idea that
it was literally true that all the world
loves a soldier, but it was different
when 1T came to going down in the
pocket and putting up a dollar to be
sent to far away Manila to buy delica-
ces for the boys in the hospitals from
sickness or wounds received on the bat
tlefield.
When the musicians of the city de-
cided to give a benefit for the soldiers
in the form of a grand ball, it was sup
posed no one hall would be large enough
to accommodate all who would be anx-
ious to attend, so three halls We're en-
gagged, and when thousands turned out
to listen to the music of the band last ev-
ening 1T was regarded as a wise provis-
ion, but it turned out an unnecessary
preparation. Renshaw hall proved
large enough for all emergencies,

IN RAILROAD CIRCLES
The Great Northern Sleeping Car
Rate Declared Off.
THE PULLMAN COMPANY
Is Still the Boss of the Sleeping Car
Roost-How 1t Put the Screws
Onto the B. 81 O.-The Pas
senger Rate War.

The Great Northern will not make
$40 sleeping car rate from st. Paul to
the coast, and the $6 rate between
Butte and st. Paul, which was an
nounced a few days ago to go into eff
feet on the 18th of this month, has been
declared off. This last announcement
was made after Vice-President Wickes
of the Pullman company had had an
interview with Vice-Presdent Miller of
the Great Northern. 1t would appear
that even Jim" Hill must come to
time when the Pullman company calls
him. 1t is presumed that Wickes
threatened to make the Great Northern
weary of well doing if it did not recall
its $40 rate. Word was received in
Butte yesterday a revised rate would
be announced in day or two, and that
some modification of the old rates
would be granted by all roads.
The Pullman company still seems to
be about the most supreme and al
mightiest corporation in the country
1t has not only called the Great North
ern off. which owns its own sleeping
cars but it has compelled the Balti-
| more & Ohio to withdraw it's "ordi-

nouncement has just been issued by

between Baltimore and Newark and

| tanned the Pullman company was not
| in position to furnish this class of
| equipment to all roads operating Pull
man cars east of Chicago and st. Louis,
| and, to allay any friction that might
result from this inequality of service,
| the Pullman company requested the

which will be done commencing April

"The announcement that the Great
| Northern and Northern Pacific have in
cluded their colonist rates in continent
tai tariffs and their declaration that
there they must remain until Sept. ! is

rate trouble is to be a temporary one

cago a few days ago. Up to this time
we have been unable to get these lines
to give any intimation as to what they
intend doing. This announcement
would indicate that the rates will be
taken out next fall and that the pres
ent trouble is due entirely to the desire
of these lines to try an experiment.
A further indication that the rates are
not intended to remain permanently is
found in an interview with D. r. Nc
