that she did not know whether he took
it from his clothes or from the side
board. She said she knew Cunningham
was in the habit of carrying both a gun
and a knife. She also stated that at her
daughters request, her son had written
to Cunningham, inviting him to come to
the house.
Sensational testimony was given by
Charles s. McKinstry, who accompanied
Cunningham to see his wife on the fatal
day and who was next called to the
stand.
II walked out to the house with Jack
that day." said the witness. ION the
way up he stopped and bought some
received and Jack went to the room of
his wife and kissed her.
"As Cunningham kissed his wife, Mrs.
Felker spoke up and said: Jack. it is
too late to be spooning like that-you
! ought to have done that before
Il was in the room during the tragedy.
Mrs. Cunningham was pleased with the
| flowers. Jack asked her If she wanted
| anything, and she spoke of groceries.
Jack said he would get them, and Mrs.
Felker objected till Jack. said he would
pay for them. Young Ferker sat at the
! foot of the bed and Mrs. Felker was in
the northeast corner of the room.
after a time they commenced having
words. and the first thing I knew Felker
called Jack a liar Jack said: That
will do. Let us bury the past
Il asked Felker to desist, and he
walked past me and whirled and fired.
/ oh, my God, Lew, don't shoot!' cried
Jack. The women screamed, Don't kill
! him.

fell to kneeling posture, with his head
and hands resting on the bed. Felkel
removed the body, and Mrs. Felker cried
Historically, oh, my God, is he dead?'
IF Jack pulled a knife did not SEE
!; it. The first knife saw was in the hand
of Felker. He had the gun in one hant
| and the knife in the other"
Replying to questions propounded by
| the coroner and the jury, relative tt
what was said and done prior to the
tragedy, the witness said that Cunning
ham wanted to talk to his wife alone
and she told him to speak out and sa!
what he had to.
Il don't want to do you any harm,
he said to her. You can search me i
you think mean you any harm
II asked Jack on his way out if he in
tended to have any trouble with his peo
pie, and he said he did, not under an.
circumstances; that if they made an.
trouble he would leave"
Replying to the question of a juror
the witness said that when he saw tn
knife in the hand of Felker, the latte
said: ''See here, he tried to stab her."
The witness added that on the wa
out Cunningham told him he was goin
out to try and get his wife to withdra,
her suit for divorce.
Coroner Brown took the jury to tn
Cunningham residence this afternoon a
3 o'clock to take the testimony of Mrs
Cunningham. That will complete tn
taking of testimony and verdict wi
probably be rendered this evening.

FOR A LADY
TO Give rlan for Christmas Good
Suggestion.

If I had a lady friend who was in
quandary as to what to buy for hus-
band, father, brother. and somebody
else's brother, I'd just take her to He'll
hronner's Cigar Emporium on East
Broadway, Butte, wher she would see a
display of novelty goods for smokers
that she would be sure contains some
thing that would please her taste as we'll
as be very acceptable to the recipient.
am quite sure that among those 20 or
80 different kinds of tobacco bags one
would be sure to please Jack" and
make him forever mindful of the fair
giver. Among those leather cigar and
cigarette cases, sterling mounted, GER
tainly there is none that would not make
a desirable gift to any man smoker.
When the lady has looked over those
beautiful silver inlaid French briar
pipes and those real amber pipes with
meerschaum insert bowl, and those meer-
schaum pipes and those pocket cases of
| two pipes, she will be almost sure to see
| something to please her fancy and with
| in range of her purse, too. 1t is an ad-
mitted fact that the largest stock and
| greatest variety of good pipes, of fancy
| pipes, of elegant pipes that was ever
| seen in Butte is at Heilbronner's for this
/ holiday.
OF course, if a lady wanted to give a
| box of cigars, Heilbronner's is the place
| to get them fresh and in perfect condi-
! ton, and any good brand made. He'll
| bronner has lot of those celebrated
"bit'' cigars that he sells in boxes of &c
for 81; this holiday he is selling them in
boxes of % for 81. This is the greatest
cigar Offering anywhere in this western

Fast running records were smashed
on the Burlington last Friday. Paul
Mccormack, one of Montana's wealth.
est ranchmen, was in Omaha Thursday,
when he received message that his son
was at the point Of death. He secured
special train on half hours notice, and
at 1:47 he left Omaha. At 6:48 Friday
morning the train pulled into Billings,
1924 miles away. The first 17S miles was
made in 175 minutes, exclusive of stops.
and the remainder Of the run was made
at an almost equal rate Of speed.
The total number of minutes including
stops, was 1851. or fifty miles an hour.
Exclusive of stops, the running rate was
sixty-two miles per hour.
The remarkable feature of it is that
from Omaha to Billings the grade is a
constantly rising one. 1T is uphill all
the wav.
The gratifying feature of the race with
death was that the father won. He ar
rived at the bedside of his child while it
was yet alive.

THE OXFORD BIBLE CASE.
ditor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: May l beg you TO permit offer some
explanation OF the report OF the oxford Bible"
case. which appeared in to-day's Tribune? The
intimation that the opinion of the American Court
is a departure from decisions which have been
made IN England is erroneous. There is no doubt
whatever that the University OF oxford enjoys in
England exclusive and undsputed right to the
use of the designation oxford Bible" and that
has entered the mind OF to contest that
right. directly or indirectly. for nearly a century.
Counsel for the complainant in the case which
has just been decided took pains TO show that In
England Bibles cannot be printed except under
authority from the Crown, the Crown holding
what is called a 'prerogative copyright in the
Bible The Queens printer holds a license. and
authorized TO print by royal charter or letters
patent
In 1902 there judicial decision which gave
effect this prerosative copyright, and since
that time the right of the universities and the
Queens printer has been wholly undisputed
There is no doubt that the use II England OF
tho designation oxford Bible 10 denote a Bible
not published under the authorization OF the Uni
versity OF oxford would be prohibited by injunc-
ton. and there is as little doubt that there has
never been English decision OF any kind which
has looked in a different direction.
