CALAMITY JANE A PAUPER.
WAS Married Twelve Times and
killed Her First Husband After
He Had Beaten Her.

"Calamity Jane" one of the most
noted characters of western border
life, friend of Buffalo Bill and
participant in many of the early In
dian campaigns, has been admitted
to the poorhouse in Gallatin, Mont.
Calamity is one of the relies of early
frontier life and is known to nearly
all of the old Indian fighters and
frontiersmen from Gen. Miles to Vice
President Roosevelt She came west
from st. Louis, crossing the plains
with party of freighters shortly
after the war. At that time she
donned male attire and has never
discarded it since. She took her
place in the saddle on the range, at
the faro table, at game of stud
poker, at the saloon bar along with
her male companions. She is an ex-
pert shot and a daring fighter. On
her first trip west her party got into
a fight with Indians, and she dis
played such GOODNESS and reckless
daring that she was then dubbed
"Calamity Jane" and the name has
stuck to her ever since. No one
knows any other name for her, and
she says she has none. She has been
married dozen or more times. She
killed her first husband after he had
given her a beating. The second one
was killed in dance house fight and
bad end came to each succeeding
one, till it became saying that i'll
luck followed her matrimonial IA
vors. OF late years she has been
making miserable living by selling
a pamphlet which tells an abridged
story of her life. but entirely omits
the most thrilling portions of it.

Gard from Mr.. Barr.

Editor County Record
Kindly allow me space in your
your col3mns TO say that in giving
an account of the dispenSary rob-
berry last week. had no idea OF
misrepresenting any one, as |
thought, and still think, the facts
are bad enough without addirs
anything thereto. Mr.. Mouzon s
fri .nds claims that the dispensary
was not robbed while he was dis
penser | was under the impress
sion, that it had beel, and if ii
was not, am only too glad to
make the correction. lhare never
heard Mr. Mouzon spoken of en-
cept as an honest man. And Mr
Mcdonald, the first dispenser We
ever had here, was short in his
final winding up, but no man
thought for moment that McDon-
aid ever stole dollar. He used
bad judgement in sending off hi>
money through a wildcat ar
rangement, which took his money;
but Mcdonald never got the bene-
fiji of one cent that he was moi
entitled to.
MIR. K Il Suits claims that he
did not say, in giving an account
of the robbery last week, that he
was in the dispensary the night
before it was robbed. | certainly
understood him to say so, or II
never would have gone IN the
paper. But it is possible that
i may have misunderstood him,
as he seemed tobe very much eXcit-
ed when heard him talking, and
he asserts positively that he did
not say that he was there. Mr.. }
B Lemon, who says he was in The
dispensary with Mr.. Player, at the
time indicated, also says Mr..
Suits, was not there that night.
| say again tina; | have nointention
of mlsrepresentine any one, my
only ann having been to give the
facts as they were.

iNsuLAR SUITS DECIDED.
Congress Can renisiate For Acquired
Territory.

The United States supreme court by
a vote OF ) to has sustained the con.
tention Of tic government that con
gress could le-islate as II pleased for
territory acquired by the United States.
Upon this fundamental question. sus-
tanning the policy OF the administration
and of congress to levy Il special tariff
duty on Porto Rico. Justice Brown de-
livercd the opinion in what IN known as
the Downes ease. lie was supported
by Justices Gray. Shiras. White and
Mckenna. The dissenters We're Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan,
Brewer and Peckham.
On the De Lima ease. which related
simply TO the statutory construction
eign country after being ceded by
the treaty with Spain, 1t was held that
Porto Rico in It's transitory stage was
domestic territory, and therefore In
that period all productions of the Unit
ed States and of Porto Rico should
have been exchanged free of duty.
In this position. oddly enough. the
dissenting justices in the other case
sided with Justice Brown, again
speaking for the majority. Thus JUS
tice Brown was grouped with Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan.
Brewer and Peckham at one time and
with Justices Gray. Shiras. White and
McKenna at another. In both cases
Justice Brown practically was the
whole court. He had opposed to him
and with him those with whose reason
Ing and position the others did not
agree.
1t IL not necessary to 90 into more
than the two eases named to make
clear and definite what the supreme
court decisions mean.
1t r. decided. first, that Porto Rico
was foreign territory during military
occupation and up to the time when
the ratifications of the treaty of peace
were exchanged
Second THAT after the exchange of
the ratifications of the treaty of peace
and until congress acted it was domes-
tic territory. All productions Of the
United States, therefore. went free In
to Porto Rico. and all productions Of
Porto Rico should come free into the
United States.
Third, 1t is decided that the United
States consists only of the 13 original
states end such other states as have
sinte been added and thar they Ind the
right to legislate for any newly nc
qured territory.
Fourth. THAT tie Foraker law is con-
stitutional.
