"SWIFTWATER" BILL.
Skips With Fourteen-Year-OId Niece

skips With Fourteen.Year.oId Niece
to San Francisco.
"Swiftwater Bill Gates, the Klon-
dixie millionaire, has broken out again
with the matrimonial fever-this time
in Tacoma. He has married once
more and at last he has selected a
bride outside of the Lamore family.
Hitherto Bill has contented himself
with marrying into one family. He
married two of the Lamore sisters
after they had served time in the va
riety halls of Butte, but in each in
stance Bill parted from them, fading
away through the open portals of the
divorce court. According to last ac-
counts Gates has taken a wife from
his own circle of relatives and eloped
with his niece. A dispatch from Ia
coma to the San Francisco Chronicle
tells of his latest escapade and the
pursuit that is being made to overtake
Bill and his latest bride. Bill is well
known in Butte and the wives he ac-
cumulated during the early part Of his
matrimonial career are familiar to
many residents of this city. The story
the Chronicle prints, under date OF
the gath is as follows:
Pretty Adelina Lydia Boyle, aged
IA, is the third wife whom William C..
Gates, better known as "Swiftwater
Bill has married within as many
years. What makes the case more in
teresting is the fact that she is Gates
own niece, and was won by him des-
pite the protestatlons of her mother,
who is highly indignant that her bro
tier should have eloped with his niece.
So indignant is she that she has sworn

The bar of Nome have asked fd
the removal of Judge Noyes. A pet:
ton to President Mckinley was for
warded by the steamer Senator, and
it will probably be a race between
Judge Noyes and the petition to see
which gets the ear of the president
first, says the Seattle Times. The
petition to the president reads as fol-
lows:
Nome, Alaska August Is,
ITO William Mckinley, President of
the United States, Washington,
D. c.:
"Mr. President-The undersigned
members of the bar, residing and
practicing law at Nome, respectfully
petition and represent as follows:
"rhat the Honorable Arthur H.
Noyes, the present judge of the dis
trict court for the second division of
the district of Alaska. is vacillating
and dilatory, weak and partial, neg
ligent, careless and absolutely incom-
petent; that he has lost the confidence
and respect of the attorneys of the
bar of his court and of the residents
of his judicial district; that his orders
and DEGREES are violated and treated
with open contempt; that the interpo-
sition of fearless, competent and
honest judge is urgently required at
Nome to prevent further riot and
bioodshed, to relieve the congested
calendar, to preserve law and order,
and to protect life, liberty and prop
erty.
Therefore, we most respectfully
petition you to remove said Arthur H.
Noyes from his Office as judge of the
district court for the second judicial
division of the district of Alaska, and
that you, by reason of the emergency
existing, Immediately assign a Judge
to succeed him in this judicial divis-
ion."
Judge ]. p. DeMattos, formerly of
Whatcom but recently of the Teller
City bar, arrived by the Senator and
in speaking of the Noyes case and the
petition to President Mckinley, said
that there is no politics in it. To
prove this Judge DeMattos said that
on the Saturday night before he left
Nome he attended a mass meeting
where a vote was taken on the ques.
ton of having the president recall
Judge Noyes, and out of 1000 persons
present there was a vociferous aye,
and but one nay, to the vote.

FRUIT SCALE.
Dreaded Pest Found in a Shipment of
Apples Received at Great Falls.

Apples Received at Great Falls.
The dread San Jose scale has made
it's appearance in Great Falls. OF all
the pests affecting fruit and trees of
every variety this is the greatest and
in many sections of the country where
it has gained foothold thousands
upon thousands of dollars already
have been expended, ornamental.
shade and fruit trees have been cut
down in great numbers and yet the
work has just begun, says the Tri-
bune. In certain sections of the Pa
cific coast towns and cities have been
almost entirely divested of their or
namental and shade trees and orch
ards have been cut in two.
Yesterday the deputy state fruit
inspector, c. E. Hubbard, received by
mail samples of fruit infected with the
insects from State Inspector Edwards
at Butte and later in the day made a
tour of the fruit stores and stands
about the city, with the result that he
found one apple in small shipment
badly infected with the scale. This
may appear but small matter, but
it is sufficiently large to within year
or so, spread the scale to all parts of
the city. The work of inspection is
not yet completed and will not be for
several days.
The infected fruit was shipped from
the southern part of the state and
probably came from the coast, where
the scale is so bad.
San Jose scale is discernible by a
scab which forms in rows on the out
side of the fruit. Underneath this
scab is small yellow worm, which
sustains life by sucking the sap from
the fruit, causing it to wither and be-
come dry. 1t works in the same man
ner on trees of all kinds and within

out criminal complaint charging
Gates with kidnapping her daughter.
The Tacoma police have wired the
San Francisco police department to
arrest Gates on his arrival there,
which is expected to be tonight. In
that event an effort will be made to
bring him back here at once for trial.
Gates arrived from Dawson about
one month ago and has spent most of
his time since between Seattle and
Tacoma. AS near as can be learned,
Miss Boyle came here only recently
with her parents. She is smali for her
age and everybody connected with
the affair seems to be at loss to
understand how Gates came to be at
tracted by SO young a child. One day
recently they went out together, and
as near as can be learned went to Che
halls and were married there.
1T is not known positively here
that Gates has been divorced from his
second wife. whom he married soon
after Grace Lamore, the Dawson va
riety actress. secured a divorce from
him. 1t is stated that his second wife
is seriously i'll in the east. while her
child is being cared for by her mother
in Dawson. Gates is said to contri-
butte toward it's support. 1t is this un-
certainty about Gates release from
past matrimonial entanglements, to-
gether with his general gayness,
which particularly worries his third
wifes mother. The latter was at the
depot Thursday night, when Gates and
his wife appeared to take the train for
San Francisco. The girl refused to
leave her husband. and an attempt
was made to have an officer arrest
Gates. The only officer at the depot
was just then engaged, however, in ar
resting horse thief, and could not
respond. Learning that the train was
being searched. Gates and his wife
quietly withdrew, passed out of the de-
pot by private entrance and took a
carriage for South Tacoma where the
Portland train was kept waiting until
they arrived. A police officer at South
Tacoma was requested by telephone to
arrest them. He showed disposition
to do SO, but before he could secure
authority from police headquarters,
the train had pulled out"

lice force met the Oregon express

that they came to this city, but if
they did they are probably in hiding,
for they are not registered at any of

guest in times past. Captain of De-
tectives Seymour declared last night
chat the San Francisco police had re-

A white buffalo, according to Indian be-
