The expense Of maintaining schools
in Porto Rico is very high, if we con.
slider the amount spent for the small
number Of pupils enrolled but as that
country is gradually brought in closer
touch with our OVID, their system will
evidently be changed, until it reaches
our present state of perfection. In
this country the people are being edu-
Gated to the fact that there is a sure
cure for dyspepsia, Indigestion, con-
stipation. liver and kidney troubles,
and that medicine is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t should be taken
at the very first symptom, if yen would
avoid unnecessary suffering. 1t will
give prompt relief and eventually cure,
as hundreds Of people, including many
prominent physicians, have testified
during the past fifty years.

Laura Faulkner, Young Woman Wit

at the Marylebone Police
Court. ~
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
London, Nov. 1.-The hearing of the
charges against Theodore and Laura
jackson (Anna Odelia Diss Debar), was
resumed at the Marylebone police court
today before q crowded courtroom.
The clerk Of the court informed rep
resentative of the Press that enough
witnesses have been summoned to keep
the case going for weeks.
Laura Faulkner continued her testi-
mony, which was largely a reiteration
of that previously given.
The most dramatic incident today was
when Laura Jackson began her GUS
tomary badgering cross s-esSamination Of
the witness, who turned, pointing her
finger at the female prisoner, and ve-
hemently denounced her as the author
of her ruin.
The occurrences seemed to shake the
nerve of the female prisoner and her SUBJ
seQuent conduct Of the case was not
marked by the ability which she has
heretofore. displayed.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-11-07

With the arrest of the four desperate
safe blowers at Anaconda, who are sus-
pected of being the cracksmen who
robbed the safe in the store of Mulch &
Young, this city. Saturday morning, the
Butte police believe the Anaconda OFF,
GERS have corraled the would-be North
ern Pacific train robbers.
The four men, who gave their names
As William Burns, Ed Lacey. William
Burton and Martin Sheridan, were ar
rested yesterday by Under Sheriff Nor
gan of Anaconda. They were placed in
Jail here on suspicion of having COM
mitted rObberies in the neighbOrhoOd.
Many Articles Found.
At the Jail, when searched, numerous
articles used by expert safe blowers
were found on them. There was plenti-
full supply of nitro glycerine. about 80
fuses and tools discovered, though the
officers believe the regular kit belonging
to the men was secreted in the vicin-
ity .of the arrest before the sheriff
reached them.
The fact that a number of the articles
found were such as used by train rob-
bers gave rise to the suspicion that the
men might be engaged in train rob-
bing as we'll as safe blowing.
Investigation was begun today and
the movements of the men will be traced
from q date prior to the reported at
tempt to hold up the Northern Pacific
train at Dempsey, last month.
Close to the Track.
It was reported at that time that ties
were piled on the track for the pur-
pose of derailing and wrecking the train.
The railroad officials later insisted that
the ties were not on the rails. but
so close that the engine struck them
and threw the timber across the tracks.
At that time they declared the report
Of attempted train holdups untrue.
Later developments. however. gave rise
to the belief that an organised gang

can fight him."
Then 500 Kee told how Yee Gung
Wah barrcaded the door of the won.
ans house and stole slim Wah away.
He said:
II lay downee bunk. He light side
ovah there. I tellee him where YOU
gettee woman. He say You sonnee gun

kitchee pistol I say WHAT for you
killee me? killee YOU takee pistol
I point him. He biggee fellee. l can't
fightee him. I scare him."
After that Yee Gung Wah, who is ap-
parently crafty and versed in the ways
of the whites had 500 Kee put in Jail
for a month, at the end of which, 500
Kee says, a policeman put him on the
train and he came to Butte.
He has been here two months and
now word has come down that Yee
Gung Wah is to arrive here and slay
him, and the restaurant business is gone.
Sends Ugly Note.
On this head 500 Kee said: He letee
here. He tellee alice blay his town he
killee me. He talkee alice loun. He
blakee lestant up, he no lettee me livea
down Billings. His cousin been chief
man down Billings You know who I
say? He wantee killee me first; gettee
woman"
500 Kee declared that Yee Gung Wah's
cousin is the grand mogul among the
Chinese of Billings and that the chnks
there all dance to his tune. He also
says that this man concocted the plot
to steal the woman. He said:
Him cousin. he writee him notee tellee
him come killee me gettee woman. He
killee me first. he gettee woman"
The big Chinaman is storekeeper and
| runs gambling house, 500 Kee says.
| but the highbinder only hangs around
women. He, 500 Kee. has no friends
here: hence his desire to be protected.
He does not know where slim Wah is,
but he fears that Yee Gung Wah will
surely kill him, and the case looks like
an example of Chinese aggression and
oppression in the free land of the white
man.

BANK THE FURNACES.
Shortage Of Cars Compells Shutdown in
Iron Manufactures.
(By Associated Press.)

AXV44 NA0AUAaCtV4AO0s
(By Associated Press.)
Cleveland, Nov. THE Iron Trade
Review this week will say:
The feature of the week in iron and
steel is the banking Of fifteen Central
Western furnaces because of there be-
ing a shortage of cars to supply them
with coke.
The threatened effect of the car fam
Inc has become reality sooner than
expected. and what is q disturbing fea-
ture Of the situation, is that no relief
is likely to be affored before the end of
the month. The truth seems to be that
all the forces are working against the
overtaking of consumption by produce
ton Of the iron trade. though all the
theories and predictions have been on
the other side.
There is still shortage of billets and
sheet bars. For the former $3.50 and
$29 Pittsburg have been paid. or $3.50
to IS above the pool price. There are
reported to be negotiations for basic
billets from Germany to be delivered in
the Central West, the low ocean freights
operating to offset the tariff, and Ger
man makers making low price at the
works to move their surplus in this
time of depression at home just as they
have done in the case of material un-
loaded on England in the past two
months. We learn from those who
have been figuring on shipping the
German steel into the Central West that
i. no contracts have been closed as yet.

Charles Ross, Alias Dennis Caught by
Spokane Police.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Anaconda, Nov. 7.-Chief of POli:c
Taylor received a telegram from Chief
Witherspoon of the Spokane police this
morning to the effect that they have
under arrest in that city Carries Ross,
alias Dennis, colored, wanted in Ana
conda for holding up Furey's saloon. on
East Commercial avenue. last July. An
officer from the sheriff's Office will leave
for Spokane soon to bring him back. The
story of the hold-up is as follows:
The proprietor of the place started to
close up his place shortly after midnight
as his patrons had all departed. He
locked the front door and went into the
back room to close the rear entrance.
When he returned he saw a man be-
hind the bar. in the act of going through
the cash register. The intruder covered
the proprietor with a large revolver and
made his way out of the back door.
Since that time nothing has been heard
of the burglar until this morning, when
message was received from the Spo-
kane police department..
Several negroes We're arrested along
the Oregon Short Line shortly after the
robbery, but none of them proved to be
the one wanted.

John W. Graney. arrested last night
by Chief of Police Reynolds on suspicion
of having broken the window and stolen
tray of diamonds from the store Of
Albiez & Yoder, celebrated his wedding
the same evening he is supposed to have
committed the robbery.
Though the jewelry was not found on
his person at the time of the arrest
Graney has been positively identified
as the man who broke the plate-glass
window. The $500 worth Of diamonds
have disappeared, but Graney's bride is
also an inmate of the city Jail, assisting
her husband in spending a doleful
honeymoon.
Graney was married Tuesday evening
to Nellie Mitchell. Just at present tho
belief is that Graney stole the diamonds
and that he committed the robbery for
the purpose of making his new bride
wedding present.
The fact that the bride when searched
in Jail was not wearing any Of the nup-
tial gifts does not disconcert the police.
Neither does the fact that no jewelry
was found in the room of the couple,
The police are positive they have sufii-
cient evidence to convict Graney without
the recovery of the diamonds, as several
persons have identified him.
Graney will be held at the city Jail
for day or two. until the police can
gather up additional evidence and secure
his record outside of Butte.
His bride of a day will be held also,
in the hope that she may be induced
to tell what disposition was made OF
the jewelry, If 1t proves true that
Graney stole it.

vinced the under sheriff that his fear
was not pretended, but real.
SO the officer gave 500 kee permission
to stay at the Jail and make himself
useful, and he showed great relief when
he was turned into the Jail room and the
big door changed behind him.
500 Kee is an understood Chinaman,
very black as to the skin and dresses
in the white mans clothes He is ap-
parently middle-aged, and the intelli-
gence in his face and the neatness Of
his habiliments bear out his statements
that he was restaurant keeper at Bill
ings. His English is not the best but
his ideas are clear enough.
There is a woman in the case as we'll
as highbinder, and that explains his
troubles with the latter.
The woman's name is slim Haw, and
she was formerly the property of Hoo
Juen. who has now gone to China, and
who sold her to 500 kee for a little
money.
She is woman to be desired, or else
there would have been no trouble.
Driven Out of Business.
To one who questioned him closely
500 Kee related that he kept restaurant
at Billings until he was driven out of
there by Yee Gung Wah two months
ago, and that the latter stole the wom-
an, after prosecuting him for six months
and breaking up his business, and now
sends word to Butte whittier he had fled
for security, that he will come here and
kill him.

DICKINSON DEPLORES PUBLICITY
OF STONE COMMUNICATIoN.
RETARDs THE NEGOTIATIONS
Punctilious Turkish Brigands Are Sen
sitive About the Premature Dis
closure Of Secrets-Lack Of
Good Faith.
(By Associated Press,)

Sofia, NV. 7.-Consul General Dickin-
son is greatly chagrinei by the fact that
he had received a letter from Miss
stone which had leaked out. He says it
is calculated to seriously affect, If not
practically undo, the progress already
achieved.
On two previous occasions negotia-
tions with the brigands who abducted
the American missionary were abruptly
broken off by the former on account Of
the premature disclosure of secrets
which the bandits regarded as being a
breach of the understanding with them.
Mr.. Dickinson informed representa-
tive of the press today that it is abso-
lutely indispensable, if Miss Stone is ever
to be released, that the course of the ne
gotiations be kept inviolably secret.
1t is hopeless to expect the brigands to
place confidence in the negotiators when
they find that information which they
regard as secret is constantly leaking
out.

TRIAL FOR THE TRAIN ROBBERS
TimeW
Woman to Implicated Holding Up
Northe Last
(Special to Inter MOuntain,)

st. Louis, Nov 7.-Harry Laugh-t
baugh, believed to- be one of the Mon,
tana train robbers, who was arrested:
here few days ago in company with
a woman calling herself Mrs. Lillian,
Rose, is now in the hands of the federal
authorities, a warrant having been
issued for him shortly after noon today.
The charge against the man is forging
the signatures of the Helena bank Off
cials to the notes taken by the bandits
at the time a Great Northern train was
held up and dynamited near Malta last
July.
The prisoner declines to talk, further
than to say that when the proper time
comes he will have no difficulty in clear
ing himself.
Soon after the federal warrant had
been issued for Laughbaugh warrant
was issued by United States Commls'
sioner Gray against the Rose woman,
who now says her true T,ane is Laura
Bullion, VINO is suspected of completely
, in the train robbery and who was taken
into custody here yesterday with a vailsc
containing many thousands of dollars
worth of the stolen bills in her posses
sion. ,-,.- -.t
The formal charge against her is hav-
ing in her possession forged l.otes on the
National bank of Helena.
The federal grand jury now in session,
will at once take up the case, and if SHE
is indicted, as Il is believed she win ne,
without delay, her trial will be begun at
once before Judge Adams in the United
States district court.
Laura Bullion was identified in the
office of Chief Desmond by George
Postel merchant of Mascoutah, ILL.,,
who formerly knew the woman when
she lived in Texas Following this,
Laura Bullion said to Chief Desmond:
Il have known the prisoner whom you
call Laugbaugh since the latter part Of
last April. It was III Fort Worth, Tex,
that 1 first met him. Since that time
we have lived in various cities and have
gone under different names in every
city that we visited 't y
Before that she lived with Bill Carver, !
a train robber, who, he said, was killed
in Sonora, Mexico. April 2 last. Laura
Bullion went to Fort Worth from her
home in Douglas, A. T., to meet Laug-
baugh, who was introduced to her by
Bill Cheney, member Of the gang.
She added:
He had plenty of money, and never
asked him any questions as to where he
got it. He gave me the money that
was in my possession when l was ar
rested. don't know where he got it.
I don't know anything about that

If the story told by 500 Kee, China
man who yesterday threw himself upon
the mercy of the sheriff and demanded
protection from the latter, be true, Cali
fornia is not the only state in the Union
where the Chinese highbinder pursues
the nefarious practice of intimidation,
blackmail and murder. Montana is to
be numbered among his hunting
grounds.
When 500 Kee appeared at the court
house he was in deadly fear, and he told
most circumstantial tale in lugu-
brious. anxious. half-weeping tone Of
misery and despair.
He declared that Billings Chinaman
named Yee Gung Wah was coming pres
emily to Butte to kill him, and that Yee
Gung Wah is highbinder, and keeps
his word.
In Deadly Fear.
There was unspeakable woe in 500

cerity with which he told his story con-

New York. Nov. THE Vienna corre-

sue of the French naval demonstration
against Turkey. 1t is believed Russia
has not been consulted by France in re-

country and there is an impression that
ST. Petersburg does not approve 1t. The
Russians at first pooh poohed the French
grievances, but NJ. Constans, the French
ambassador to the porte. did not allow
even Russian interests to be considered
before the interests Of France.

LAST RAIL is LAID.
Russia Completes the Northern Man
churian Railway.
(By Associated Press.)

By Associated Press.)
New York. Nov. 7.-Additional advices
received here from st. Petersburg an
nounce that the last rail Of the Northern
Manchurian railway was laid on Mon
day, the anniversary Of the coronation
of Emperor Nicholas.
The line connects Vladivostock with
the great Siberian railway. 1t is ex-
pected it will be opened in few months.
and it will greatly shorten the distance
to the far east. The only break in the
journey from Moscow to Vladivostock
will be Lake Baikal.
The construction of the railroad around
the lake will not be finished for some
years.
The line connecting Port Arthur with
the Northern Manchurian railway is now
open.
