took prominent parts in the Couer

Adams in a saloon.
Kennedy leveled his rifle, but before
he could touch the trigger Adams
had sent bullet through his brain.
Without dropping his arms Adams
turned his gun on Kildee and shot
him through the head before he had
time to draw his revolver. Both men
were dead when bystanders reached
them. Adams was treated as a hero.
and to-day a coroners jury exonerated
him on the grounds of self defence.

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
COLUMBUS, O., November 1.-THE
highly sensational divorce case of Peter
Sells, the Snowman, against his wife,
whom he charges with adultery, was
resumed to-day. Harry D. Lyons, who
was mentioned as correspondent, was
the first witness called. Lyons admit
ted that all OF the letters read Tuesday
in which billions of kisses" were sent
across the ocean to my own dear
angel queen were written by him and
that they were sent to Mrs. Mary Sells,
wife of the Snowman, while she was
touring Australia with Sells & Fore
paugh's circus in company of her hus-
band.
Asked if he was the one referred TO
when Mrs. Sells wrote sher own true
one, her blue eyed boy Lyons said
he was. He said he sent the letters to
Mrs. Sells addressed to Miss Name
Smith.
In her deposition, read by Attorney
Peters yesterday afternoon, Mrs. CIV
alls, who had been Mrs. Sells bosom
friend, and to whom Mrs. Sells gave
the letters for safe keeping, described
how she had witnessed Mrs. Sells and
Harry Lyons hugging and kissing in
the Park Hotel at Columbus.
The letters alleged to have been re-
ceived by Mrs. Sells from Lyons while
she was in Australia were numerous.
Mrs. Civalls testified that she and Mrs.
Sells read these missives running over
with mushy love while they sat be-
meath the trees in the parks OF Mel
bourne and Sydney
These letters were all torn up, ex-
cept thirty-five which were entrusted
to the care of Mrs. Civalls. These are
known in the case as the Harry"
letters. There is scarcely a sentence
in the whole bunch that doesn't ex-
ude more passionate ardor than a.
whole column of Laura Jean Libbeys
best inspiration.
The Harry" letters, as rule, re-
ferred to Mrs. Sells as my darling
queen" varied occasionally with
baby" "angel Mamie and Mama"
One long letter contained more kisses
than the days output Of the candy
trust
Harry" who had opened his long
distance love game with 1000 kisses,
raised the edge 10000 in the big bum
die of letters mentioned, and wound up
with bluff of 100000.
Booth, the plaintiffs counsel, read
off this sickly sentimentality with an
emphasis and intonation that would
have made a ten-cent theatre hero green
with envy.
Lyons was present during the read
ing. He sat next to William Bot, an
other of the correspondents in the
case. Lyons laughed with the others
when that endearing mama" turned
up in the letters.
Two comparatively mild letters from
Bott were read. These were signed
Cincinnati All these letters were
addressed to MARY S. Smith, name
Mrs. Civalls testified that was used by
Mrs. Sells for the purpose of CORE
spondence with her male friends while
she was in Australia.

REMARKABLE RESCUE.
Thomas McPheters Taken From the
Bottom of n Well After Being Cow
cred with Sand Forty Hours.

eFeu WIN Sunu rory hours.
SULLIVAN, Ind, Nov. 14-After
forty hours, at the bottom of a we'll,
buried under a heap Of sand, Thomas
McPheters was rescued this morning,
little the worse for his long imprison-
ment
When the first cavern came, and
tons of sand filled the bottom of the
well, the boards used for wall were
forced in and formed a roof, which
preyenteu the crushing of McPhe-
tiers.
A small opening at one side permit
and a two-inch rubber hose was let
down TO convey water and food to the
imprisoned man.
McPheters finally extricated himself
from the broken boards, but as he
gained his feet. and stood erect, an
other fall of sand buried him up to the
neck He got the end of the hose
to his mouth when again came cave
in, and the top of his head was two
feet above the surface of the sand The
rubber tube gave him air and water,
and food was poured in, when he asked
for them.
This morning the second we'll was
completed by the rescuers and a tun-
mel was cut to the shaft, in which
McPheters was prisoner. The walls
of the tunnel were boarded up, and the
sand dug away until the man was re-
leased.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November IA.
Representative Dayton, Of West Vir-
ginia, member of the House Naval
Affairs Committee. in discussing need
ed legislation, said to-day:
Il believe that the United States
should have navy whose strength
should be at least half that of England.
other countries are increasing their
navies rapidly and the United States
cannot afford to be in the rear of the
procession. We can afford to spend
approximately as much on the navy as
on our army, and with $100000,000 per
annum to expend on the navy we
should have one which Should be a
source of pride and qualification to
every American. Spending money on
the navy is a good way to put it in
circulation, for all of it goes to Amer
lean shipyards or foundries and to
American Workmen.'
Mr. Dayton said he thought liberal
appropriation would be made during
the coming session for the construction
of battleshlps and that from four to
six battleships or cruisers should be
authorized. Speaking of armor plate,
Mr. Dayton said:
-Four hundred and seventyfive dol
lars was not too large price to pay
and if the Secretary of the Navy had
secured contract at that price he had
done better than expected"
Senator and Mrs Elkins will return
to Washington the latter part of this
week. Their young daughter, Rather
inc, is here in boarding school.
