Something like 20 years ago Barney
Bohen killed two Anderson brothers
at Brookville. He was sentenced for
life, but his faithful wife worked for
rs years and finally secured for him a
pardon. During these years she regu-
larry sent him money and boxes of
7iuxuries to lessen the tedium of his
confinement. But, upon being re-
leased, Bohan ran away to Montana
without even going to see his faithful
spouse, and for several years she knew
nothing of his whereabouts. By pat
-enting a smoke consumer Bohan be-
came wen-to-do, but when his wife
searched him out and asked for aid
he disowned her and cast her off with
the charge that they never had been
married. But Mrs. Bohan has secured
proofs of her marrige and now she
is proceeding against her husband
with all the fury of a woman scorned.

OFFER rs DECLINED.
Great Britain Politely But Firmly
Declines Our Offer to Mediate.
Lord Salisbury Notifies Presidents Kruger
and steyn That England Vgln Not Gem
sent to Independence for the
Two Republics

london, March 1.-THE United
States government, at the request of
President Kruger and President
Steyn, has offered to the British gov
eminent its services as mediator, with
the view of bringing about peace in
South Africa. Lord Salisbury has not
yet replied, but q representative Of
the Associated press learns that there
is little doubt he viii decline the
United States good Offices. He viii
do SO. however, in terms as cordial and
polite as those in which the offer was
couched. The representations made
to Great Britain were so put that they
assumed nothing of a desire to inter
vene but simply transmitted the COM
munications made to United States
Consul Adelbert Hay, at Pretoria,
with the accompanying assurances
that anything the state department
could do in the interests of peace
woald be gladly undertaken. The we'll
known aversion of the British govern
ment to any foreign intervention
does not appear to have been aroused
and while Lord Salisbury will doubt
less say he is unable to comply with
the offer, he will also probably express
his appreciation of the United States
efforts in behalf of humanity.
