''SWIFTWATER" BILL
SKIPS WITH FoURTEEN-YEAR-
OLD NIECE.
Is ACCUSED OF KIDNAPPING
Elees From Tacoma to San Francisco
With His Child Wife. Bill
Well Known in Butte,

"Swiftw water Bill" Gates. the Klondike
the matrimonial fever-this time in Ia
coma. He has married once more and
at last he has selected a bride outside
Of the Lahore family. Hitherto Bill has
contented himself with marrying into
one family. He married two Of the La
more sisters after they had served time
In the variety halls of Butte, but in
each instance Bill parted from them, fad
ing 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 neice. A dispatch from Tacoma to the
San Francisco Chronicle tells of his lat
est escapade and the pursuit that is be-
ing made to overtake Bill and his latest
bride. Bill is we'll known in Butte and
the wives he accumulated 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 oath, is as follows:
Pretty Adelina Lydia Boyle, aged a.,
is the third wife whom William c. Gates,
better known as "Swiftwater Bill" has
married within as many years. What
makes the case more interesting is the
fact that she is Gates own niece. and
was won by him despite the protesta-
tions of her mother, who is highly in
dignant that her brother should have
eloped with his niece. So indignant is
sire that she has sworn out criminal
complaint charging Gates with kidnap-
ing her daughter. The Tacoma police
have wired the San Francisco police de-
partment to arrest Gates on his arrived
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 pa
rents. She is small for her age and ev-
erybody connected with the affair seems
at loss to understand how Gates came
to be attracted by so young a child. One
day recently they went out together, and
as near as car ne learned went to Che

Vice President Roosevelt left the city
tonight at $3.50 o'clock for Oyster Bay
perfectly confident that the President
will recover. So confident was he, in
fact, that when a question of doubt
was put to him he answered 1t with
a parry. He was asked:
DO you remember that President
Garfield progressed for ten days and
that then just when he was ready to
get out, he collapsed and finally died."
Quick as thought the Vice President
answered:
"Ah! but you forget twenty years of

what 1 can learn also the Garfield
wound was much more serious than
the wound of President Mckinley. 1
believe that the President will recover
and l believe it so thoroughly that

Mr.. Roosevelt read with eagerness
the early dispatch from the Milburn
residence, telling of the Presidents
improved condition. When he had fin
ished he clapped his hands joyously
and with tears in his eyes, said to Mr..
Wilcox, his host:
There! Didn't 1 tell you God
wouldn't let such a noble man die by
an assassin's bullet?"
After breakfast Mr.. Wilcox an
nounced that the Vice President had
been urged in view of the Presidents
improving condition to utilize his last
day in seeing some of the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition, notably the government
building. The Vice President declined
the invitation with some little vehe-
mence.
He SAID:
Il do not believe, even though 1 am
assured of the Presidents GONZALES
cence, that it would be entirely proper
for me to take part in any of the fes-
tivities. l have studiously refrained
from going out or being entertained
during my visit and will continue that
policy until leave. I came here abso-
lutely as a matter of duty, both to the
President and to the people, not for
pleasure"
When the Vice President stepped out
to the sidewalk to go to the Milburn
House a secret service detective step
ped up alongside of him. He turned
around when he found the man follow
ing him and said:
Il do not want you to follow me. I
don't need anyone and I am not
afraid"

HIS CONDITION UNCHANGED.
Result of Last Consultation of the
Physicians.

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept 10
1t was 11:20 o'clock when the physicians
emerged from the house. They had
been in consultation an hour and fifty
minutes and announced to the waiting
newspaper men that the Presidents
condition was unchanged in every inn
portant particular.
The length of the consultation had
created some uneasiness, and this was
somewhat increased when it was learn
ed that DIR. McBurney, who had intend
ed to leave for Stockbridge, Conn, at
11:20 o'clock had missed his train and
had decided to remain over until to-
morrow night.
But the doctor himself did all he
could to dispel the idea that the change
in his plans portended anything Sc
rious. In fact he took occasion to an
the Improvement of the patient, that
it had been decided to begin to give
the President nourishment through the
mouth tonight instead of waiting un-
til tomorrow, as had been intended.
Beef extract had been preferred, DR..
McBurney announced, and it was be-
ing administered as, the physicians
left.
The other physicians who listened to
DR.. McBurney's statement assented to
it and then all entered an automobile
and were whisked away. Immediately
afterward a storm which had been
gathering broke and for a few min>
utes the rain came down in torrents.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Presidents Condition Not I'm tire
Least Critical.

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. TO-
Late tonight there was a slight scare
at the Milburn residence, caused by the
protracted visit of the consulting ply
sicians, who remained almost two
hours, and this was increased by the
announcement in the official bulletin
issued before midnight that slight ir-
ritation of the exterior wound, discov-
cred only tonight, had necessitated the
opening of few stitches of the wound.
But the most positive assurances
were given that the only effect might
be to delay slightly the healing of
wound. The irritation was not in any
way the result even of a suggestion of
blood poisoning; the physicians de-
clared over their own signatures that
it could not result in complications.
The opening of the wound was in no
sense an operation. Several OF the
stitches were simply taken out and aft
er a thorough antiseptic washing of
the inflamed tissue the wound was
again sewed up.
No anaesthetics were necessary. Con-
siderable delay was caused by the
fact that a certain dressing desired by
the surgeons was not in the house, and
it was necessary to send into the city
for it, The first time the messenger
returned he did not have what was
wanted and he had to make another
trip.
After the bulletin was issued Secre-
tary Cortelyou and Mr.. Milburn came
to the press tent to dispel any
alarm that might have arisen
with positive assurances of the
,,oip1norta nee of the Incident Secretary
Cortelyou announced that there would
not be another consultation until
morning. After this all was quiet at
the Milburn house. Dr. Rixey and
DR.. Wasden remained on duty through
out the night.

MOVEMENTS OF CZOLGOSz.
Buffalo Police Tracing Them From
Time He Reached That City.


Buffalo, Sept. 10.-A number of wit
nesses supposed to have knowledge of
the movements of Czolgosz after he
came to Buffalo were brought to police
headquarters this morning by local de-
tectives to be questioned by Supt. Bull
and District Attorney Penney. The po-
lice declined to give the names of the
witnesses or to tell what information
had been gained from them. District
Attorney Penney would only say that
he knew several witnesses had been
brought in and that he had been asked
to come down and examine them.
The police continue to work on their
first theory, that there was an ex-
tended and carefully planned plot to
kill the President, and the inquiry is
being pressed energetically along that
line in every city where there are cir
cles of anarchists. The New York and
Paterson departments are watching
the anarchists of those two cities,
while at Chicago, Cleveland and De-
troit there are men on the trail of the
prisoner. The secret service bureau at
Washington is cooperating, with
every one of it's operatives who can be
used. That the plot has not yet been
revealed or the identity of the prin-
cipals established the police them
selmes admit
Czolgosz has been examined by Drs
F. S. Gregg and Joseph Fowler, spe-
cialists on mental disorder, who were
called in by District Attorney Penney.
They talked with and took a series of
careful measurements of his head. 1t
is understood that they are convinced
that he is perfectly sane. There has
never been any doubt on the part of
the police on the subject, but they wish
to be fortified against such plea in
his defense when the case comes to
trial.
