Special Dispatch to the Bee:
Anaconda, July 26.-Attorney Gener.
al Donovan is again on the war path.
Not content with a campaign against
gamblers only, he has filed actions
against County Attorney Duffy and
Sheriff Jack Conley, to oust them
from Office for neglect of duty in fail

charge these officials with knowing
gambling to be going on at certain
specific places, and that, ignoring in.

Excitement Runs High in Cir
ard, Louisiana
BLACKS ARE NSOLENT
White Men Attacked Without Provocation
Body Of Desperado l. Found
Hanging From Tree.

Rayville, La, July 25.-There has
been considerable excitement in and
around Girard, La, about four miles
from here, for the last week, caused
by secret societies of negroes who met
In convention near Girard and about
ten miles south of there on the plan
tation of James A. Mahoon. When it
is claimed that the meetings were
guarded by armed sentinels composed
of negroes in the neighborhood with
pompOus and important negroes from
Fort Worth and other distant places,
who claimed to be organizing what
they called the Independent Order of
Sons and Daughters of Saint Jacob
and the Knights of Tabor" it is sup
posed that these secret orders are
nothing less than a negro malta and
it is said that their motto is death to
the white man who may strike me-
gro or become an object of their ma
nee. How true this is your cores.
pondent is not able to tell, but it is a
significant fact that the negroes
around here are growing more inso.
lent and self-important. It is said also
that another Of their notices is not
to work for white people.
AS to the truth of this it is not
known, but the order seems to be COM
posed largely of negro preachers, who
work for nobody, and was organized
here by a pompous negro named EN-
peror Scott, who was invited not long
since to leave after stay here OF
about one year.
A number Of citizens of Girard and
vicinity went down to the Mahoon
place last week to investigate the
principles of this secret order and it
is said laid down some law to the wor-
thy lodge at that point. 1t seems that
the officers of the lodge showed the
vigilance committee their books and
claimed that there was nothing wrong
about their order and it was organized
for religious and benevolent purposes.
But it is thought that they keep two
sets of books and another set will be
found some day when another murder
is committed, such as the one in
Shreveport, when ]. G. Foster was
made the victim.

THE S7ORK TO VISIT
QUEEN! WILHfLMINA
A Son and Heir Expected Without the
Aid of Dr., Schenck.

A Son and Heir Expected Without the
Aid of Dr.. Schenck.
A special to the New York Journal
from The Hague says:
A probable interesting event in the
household of young Queen Wilhelmi-
ma draws the polite attention of all
Holland and all Europe.
So confidently is this event expected
that the greater part of the layette is
either completed or nearly so.
The stork is a very common and in
dustrious bird in Holland, but his evo-
lutions are not watched with any the
less interest ON that account. And in
this case he is lowering over the
most beloved queen that the country
has ever known.
Every woman In Holland looks to-
ward the coming event with as much
interest as II It were going to happen

bia Falls, but it will greatly help Kal-
ispell, where the division headquar-
ters will remain, while the freight di-
vision point will be removed from
Troy to Jennings.
President Hill was in Kalispell Sun
day. He refused to talk to reporters
except about the weather and the col
or of the grass and sky, but he did
talk to others on railway matters, and
they promised not to tell anybody.
On the same subject the Fort Ben
ton River Press says:
George Chew, is in town from Jen-
nings, having come to ship the mater
iai he left here last fall on the COM
pletion of his grading contract. He
has secured contract about 40 miles
north of the Great Northern main line
on the Jennings branch, and will be-
gin work at once. Dan Ledgerwood
also has contract on the same line
and will ship his outfit In a few days.
''The branch from the Crows Nest
coal mines to Jennings will be about
100 miles long and, with other work
to be done, will furnish employment
for an immense force for a year and
half or more.
"A year ago the Great Northern was
planning an entirely new line between
Kalispell and Libby, abandoning SO
miles of track in order to secure cas-
Ter grades. This would have swung
to the south of the present line. BY
their present plans, however, they
have decided to utilize part of the Jen-
nings branch as portion of the cut
off. It will follow the Kootenai river
north to the coal mines in British
Columbia and another branch will be
built from Kalispell, following the
Saltwater river northwesterly to a
junction with the Jennings line at or
near Tobacco Plains. Main line traffic
will then follow natural water level
with a maximum grade of about six
tenths of one per cent, and the present
line from Kalispell to jennings, 81
miles, will be torn up.
"The new road will add few miles
to the distance, via the main line of
the Great Northern, between st. Paul
and the coast but the easier grades
will make better time and heavier
freight trains possible"

IA WIDOW
IN The CASE
Investigating the The Theft of
Thirty Thousand
FROM THE U. S. MINT
AT San Francisco,-Chief Clerk Dimmick
Said to Have Been Enamored
to Widow.

By Associated Press:
San Francisco, July 25.-The work
of counting the gold coin in the mint
has been completed by the experts in
charge. The amount inspected ond
weighed was $37,140,OOO. The coin
was found intact to the dollar and
has now been checked three times. by
as many different sets of men. so that
there is no possibility Of error. The
completion of the count sets at rest
the theory that the recent shortage Of
100000 at the mint was the result of
miscount Nothing whatever was
disclosed by the secret service agents
or Superintendent Leach in the
search.
Director Roberts, Superintendent
Leach and Secret Service Agent Haz-
en- were closeted for many hours with
Walter Dimmick, the chief clerk of
the mint
The investigation into the life led
by Dimmlck in the last year was re-
sumed. Information has been secur-
ed by Secret Service Agent Hazen that
Dimmick, though married man, has
been most attentive to a charming
widow and that her tastes were most
extravagant.
A significant happening in connec-
tion with the robbery from the mint is
that the woman in the case" sudden
" left her lodgings on Powell street
on Tuesday, July Sd, and the next
| day Dimmick, it is claimed, went to
newspaper Office and gave out the
story of the robbery.
The investigating officers are of the
opinion that but for the publicity given
to the robbery the thief would have
been caught in trap that was pre-
pared for him.
The woman with whom Dimmick is
supposed to have been most friendly
is well known in political circles in
this city. Investigation shows that
she has moved from one address to
another in the last year and that she
has always declined to tell where she
lived.
At the rooming house, where she
has resided for the last three months,
1T was stated last evening that she
had not given up her rooms, though
she had not been seen there since
Tuesday of last week.
Dimmick refused to give any infor-
nation as to his acquaintance with
the widow in question. He neither
affirms nor denies the allegations
made that he lavished costly presents
upon her.
People will talk" he says, "and
what can do to stop them?"
The secret service officials are now
trying to secure from her some infor-
nation that may be of vital import
ance in the investigation of the mint
robbery.
The faint hope that an error might
account for the missing $4,000 has
long been dispelled. The money was
deliberately stolen from the cashiers
vault and the thief held such a posi-
tion in the mint that his presence in
the cashiers room would not attract
attention

in the house of her own sister or
daughter.
The queen has endeared herself to
the whole population by her grace and
innocence, and by her simple, kind
ly manners and by her exemplification
OF the ideal qualities of the Dutch
housewife.
The whole government and parlia-
ment Of Holland undertook to act as
fathers to her when they arranged her
marriage, and now they are feeling
like grandfathers. Their wives are
also would-be grandmothers.
Queen Wilhelmina was married to
Prince Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwe
rim on February Z amid tremendous
popular rejoicing. According to some
experts there is a probability that the
event already referred to will occur
toward the end of October, although a
date early in November might seem
more probable. Royal persons enjoy
no privacy in these matters, and they
are quite contented to see them thor
oughly and carefully discussed.
AS is usual in such cases, there is a
universal desire that the new baby
should be boy. for the feudal idea
that man can hold his own better
than a woman still prevails in Eu-
rope. Seeing that Wilhelmina has
been so successful as a queen, one
would think the Dutch would love
something of this ancient prejudice,
but it is not SO. Even the queen ar
IDENTIFY desires that she may have a
son to inherit the crown of Holland.
Some of her relatives urged that she
should consult the celebrated DR..
Schenck, of Vienna, who tried with so
little success to secure a son to the
Czarina of Russia. but achieved better
results in other cases. Queen Wilhel-
nina, however, showed the wise con-
servatism for which the Dutch are
justly celebrated. and refused to give
any employment to Schenck
Most of the queens and princesses
of Europe are at this moment engaged
in preparing some article for the lay
cite. In nearly ever case they are
decorating their gifts with blue ribbon
that being the color appropriate to a
boy.

Shot by Officer Eakwright
While Attempting
TO ESCAPE ARREST
The Bullet Was Int. lded to Go Wide. Bu,
the Ai.rov' as Bad and the
G ylnk Was Killed,

Wong Key, a Chinaman who has
been employed in the Chinese truck
farm just west of the old creamery,
was shot and killed by Officer Jack
Eakright last night.
Reports had been received by the
authorities here a few days ago that
a Chinaman had been smuggled over
the Canadian boundary and was in
Kalispell. Search was instituted and
it was claimed that the man wanted
was at the truck farm run by three
Cinnamon about mile west Of town.
After search had been made Of the
different places around town where
the Cinnamon congregate, without
success, the information was received
that man had been seen to jump
over fence in the rear of Wau
Chong's store on First street, and
strike down the railroad track, going
west. When they heard this the Off
GERS came to the conclusion that he
was headed for the truck farm near
the old creamery.
In company with officer T. ]. Han
nah and Undersheriff Mccarthy FAX
right went to that place and remained
outside to watch, while, the other off,
Gers made q search Of the interior OF
the house. AS he passed around the
building Eakright saw Chinaman in
the neighborhood Of the pig pen who
upon his approach started to run. The
officer commanded him to halt anu
on the fleeing man paying no atten-
ton, drew his revolver and cred
his head. But the bullent went low
and struck the Chinaman, inflioting a
fatal wound.
It is supposed that just as the shot
was fired the fugitive turned his head,
as the bullet entered in the center of
his neck and came out just under the
right shoulder blade. The wound was
bad one and the man was dead in a
few minutes after the shot was fired.
The shooting took place about 10
o'clock and the body was brought to
Kalispell and placed in the hands of
the coroner. The first reports were
to the effect that the bullet had enter
ed the shoulder and came out in the
neck, but the facts in the case proved
the contrary.
Unfortunately, when too late it was
discovered that the dead man was net
the one wanted, but one of the en-
ployes of the place who had been in
Kalispell for several years. He had
become frightened when he saw the
officer approach and started 70 run.
lE the darkness it was impossible to
identify the man and Edkrigh. a.
tempted to stop him with the result
mentioned.
The man the officers were after has
escaped and no trace of him has been
found. The Chinese around town are
much worked up over the affair and
claim the killing was unnecessary.
