The career of two notable women is
brought to mind in the death in London
of Sir Francis Cook, the husband of
Tennessee Clatlin. In the days of Jim
Fisk Miss Clatlin and Victoria Wood
hull were shrewd operators on Wall
street, The latter took to the lecture
platform and cxpounded the cause of
free love in a most salacious and aban-
doncd name Both were venturesome
women Of the world and not lacking in
personal charms. Suddenly they drop
ped out of the busy street, lost TO the
vision of bulls and bears and apparent
ly to the world. They went to London,
where both married men of wealth and
high social standing, Miss Clailin win
ming the title Of Lady Cook as a result
Of her marriage. Thedeath Of her hus-
band caused ugly stories to be circulat-
ed and it was said she was going to
have the remains exhumed for the pur-
pose Of setting at rest certain rumors,'
but this she now denies.

LOPEZ CHS Off LIGHT.
His Trial in Ch0teau County Resulted in
MansIaughter Verdict.

Fort Benton, April l3.-In the dis
trict court today, in the trial of An
tone Lopez, accused Of murder In the
first degree, the jury retired at 1870
u. M, and five hours later brought
in n verdict, finding the defendant
guilty OF manslaughter, leaving the
sentence To he fixed by the court.
The penalty il Imprisonment in the
penltentinry for not to exceed ten
years.
The verdict was somewhat u sur
prise, many expecting that Lopez
would get the rope. He was accused
OF the murder Of Thomas Upee, n
hali-brccd, ear Landusky, last fall.
Lopez and other cowboys visited the
h%ali-breed camp and attempted To
assault the women. In the fight
that followed Upee was struck on
the head with n rock and died n few
hours later. Lopez, Charles Sumner
and Gordon Ferguson We're arrested
some time later charged with tbs
murder. While they were awaiting
trial Lopez broke iail and was cap.
tured two months later, In North
Dakota. Meanwhile Sumner had
been convicted 0f murder in the
second degree and committed for .,
years and Ferguson had been nc,
quilted. The testimony they gave
was very damaging to Lopez, M
was his breaking jail, and everyone
supposed that the case against him
was much the strongest Of the three.
The trial wns begun last Tuesday
morning.

A Washington special says the depart

A Washington special says the depart
ment of agriculture has received a dis
patch from a prominent packing COM
pany of Chicago announcing that they
have just been advised that the English
government has excluded all beef ex
cept home bred from the British army
contracts. This, it is stated, is to be eff.
%fective June LIST next. The action of
the British government is a severe blow
to American bee and cattle exporters
and producers. and means not alone the
loss in government trade. but it is fear
ed II will serve very materially toward
melting a prejudice on the part of the
people of Great Britain against the beef
and cattle of'this country. 1t is doubt
full whether the British government has
the home bred" beef TO furnish its
army. Johnny Bull can hardly get
along without the juicy steaks from the
American ranges,

The bismarck (N. d. Tribune is au-
thority for the statement that the con
struction of the Bismarck, Washburn
4 Great Falls railroad is to be resumed,
that contracts have already been let
and that supplies are now being placed
upon the ground for the building ofthe
road between Wilton and Washburn.
So far the road has been built as far
along its proposed line as Wilton, but
the indications are that the road will be
extended west as rapidly as possible,
and there is some chance that it will be
constructed into Great Falls as was or
iginally the intention. The shops and
railroad buildings at Bismarck are be-
ing enlarged and n large number of cars
are now being turned out of the shops.
II this road is ever extended into Mon
tana, which we doubt, it will pass
through the Judith Basin.

A RESULT or TINE COMBINE.

toUti VI vi OmbiNt
Elsewhere will be found an interview
with President Harlow of the Montana
railroad on the combination Of the Bur
lington with the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads. II effected-oi
which there is now very little doubt
Mr.. Harlow thinks the Northwestern
and Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
roads would be compelled to build
through Montana in retaliation. In
that event he says the only available
route would be along the Musselshell
river and over the route now occupied
by the Montana railroad. 1t will be
seen that as q result of this combina-
ton Montana is likely to get one or two
more roads, one or both of which must
tap the Judith Basin. Although these
roads will have to seek a pass consid-
erably west of us. possibly over the
Montana line, the rapidly growing inn
p~ortance of our mines would be taken
into consideration in railroad construc-
ton. If we have at our doors what
railroads want, they are coming, sooner
or later, TO get it. And everything
points that way, even to coal.
The scramble for the business Of this
region on the part of the Northern
Pacific. Great Northern and Burlington
in the past three or four years has been
intense. II all three lines are now in a
combination it will not make much diff
ference which road gets the bulk of the
business. If eXtortion in rates is at
tempted new and Independent lines will
be gladly welcomed in Montana, and
there are no better companies than the
Milwaukee and Northwestern.
With a trunk line entering Lewis
town from the east, OF n properly con-
Quoted feeder, we believe the future of
the place would surpass the dreams of
the most optimistic. Not because we
believe a railroad alone would make us
grow, but because we have business
here for a railroad. Why shouldn't we
have a wool market right here to dis
pose of our 100000 pounds of wool?
Why not have ample stock yards here
for the shipment Of beef cattle direct to
Chicago or Omaha? We believe this
will some day come to pass; it ought to
come soon. Then what of the great
mining industry? Where is there
another region SO remote from railroads
that has shipped in the mining machin-
cry that this district has in the past tif-
teen years? 1t does not exist. With
greatly reduced cost nshipping capital
would eagerly seek investment in our
mines.
Possibly wc can Ito nothing to hasten
the building OF a road into Lcwi,town,
but we ran set forth the of
this locality, and n wide and judicious
distribution of the souvenir edition will
lie a great help in that direction.

CROP BULLETIN.
The First Issue Will Be Dated on April 9
of Next Week.

The weekly climate and crop bulletin
of this section will begin issue for the
coming season on Tuesday, 9th inst,
and the valued cooperation of former
correspondents is solicited. The reports
(weekly crop cards) should be mailed so
as to reach Santa Fe by Monday morn
ing of each week. 1t is hoped that cor
respondents will make each report as
complete, yet brief, as possible, show
ing the progress and condition of farm
work, effects of current weather on
crops in their neighborhood, condition
ranges and stock, etc.
1t is also requested that correspond
ents send in the names of those who
are not now reporters, but who would
be likely to take an interest in the work
and make trustworthy correspondents;
also the address of friends in or out of
the territory to whom they would like
to have the bulletin sent regularly.
The subject matter of the weekly bull
letin is widely copied by the newspa-
pers of the territory; it is estimated
that by this means alone the bulletin
reaches about 10000 readers weekly. 1t
is hoped that each correspondent will
take a personal and active interest in
having his section of the country we'll
represented in every issue of the bulle-
tin. Very respectfully,

of This Action.
SENIOR CORONADO ARRESTED
President Mckinley and Governor General
Wood We're Represented as Thieves
The Editor Is Out on Bail, But His
Office Was Closed.

Havana, April 6.-The Discussion has
been suppressed by order of Governor
General Wood, and it's offices have been
closed and sealed This action was due
to the publication in the Discussion yes
terday of an illustration having the til
tie, "The Cuban Calvary representing
the Cuban public personified in Gu
ban soldier being crucified between two
thieves, General Wood being represent
ed as ONE thief and President McKin-
ley as the other, being labelled with
their names. Senator Platt was repre-
sented as Roman soldier giving vine
gar and gall in the form of the Platt
amendment. while public opinion, as
Mary Magdalen was weeping at the
foot of the cross. Below was the fol-
lowing inscription: Twill destiny re-
serve for us a glorious resurrection"
The picture caused much unfavorable
comment yesterday from the stand
point of decency The editor of the pa
per, Senior Coronado, was arrested, but
was released on bail. 1t is probable that
no other action will be taken against
Discussion than the suppression of its
publication for several days.
Senior Capote president of the Cuban
constitutional convention, visited Gem
eral Wood and assured him that the
convention regretted the publication of
this caricature. On his solicitation
General Wood allowed Discussion to
continue publication, but the judges of
the correctional court will prefer
charges against Editor Coronado.
