Denver. Oct. 2S.-A Boulder special
Of last Saturday night to the Denver
Republican gives the following account
of the Bert Striegel murder trial:
The trial of Bert Striegel, accused of
administering poison to his wife Bessie
Striegel, from the effects of which it
is said she died. took an unexpected
turn to-day.
DIR. Battey. one of the physicians
who made post mortem examination
of the deceased. said it was his opinion
that she had died from the effects of
some Irritating poison. probably NOR
phine. but he could not swear that this
was the case. and merely gave it as his
opinion. DIR. Palmer. chemist at the
university. who made an analysis of
the contents of the stomach. said If
there was any morphine in the stom-
ach 1t was so small a quantity that it
could not have produced death.
After this testimony was in. the de-
fense moved to dismiss the case be-
cause the prosecution had failed to
prove that the woman had died from
the effects of poison. The case was
argued before Judge Bennett this even
ing and the decision of dismissal rem
dered.
On the evening of September 18th
suspicious noises were heard coming
from the room occupied by Bert STRIFE

Striegel had rented the room the day
before. having just arrived from Long

which the woman was found dead the

The federal government and the
state OF Minnesota will soon clash in
the courts over the question of the
ownership of many thousands of acres
of valuable lands. The tract in dis
pute is situated in northern Minnesota
running from Rainy Lake to Lake Su-
perior. a distance of about 200 miles
and taking in the entire northern tier
of townships. The lands are located
in the gold fields recently discovered
and on that account are considered
very valuable. The lands were selected
by the state under the provisions OF
the Swamp act of 1860. but it is con-
tended by the Washington officials that
the tract so chosen on the border OF
Canada is not swamp land, hence the
proceedings.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The large
audience manifested signs of interest
as the captain of the Oregon approach

smiled as he walked around to the end
of the table to administer the oath.
Captain Clark at first spoke in an un-

when we discovered the Spanish
ships coming out. our fleet closed in at
once to attack them. each ship being
ordered to keep her head directly to-
ward the harbor entrance. The Span
iards turned to the westward, breaking
through our line and crossing 1t. and
our ships swung of to the westward In
pursuit. Both sides opened fire prompt

obscured the vessels. making 1t difii.

soon evident we were gaining at least
on one OF them. which afterwards
proved to be the Maria Teresa, the
flagship. and thought we should bring
her to close action. but might be ex-
posed to the concentrated fire of all
the ships.
Just then the smoke lifted or broke

Brooklyn. Sne was well forward of our

curious story comes from the Rus

town of Wystiten 400 families became
homeless owing to great fire. The
town being next to Rominten, where
the Emperor William shoots every
year, his majesty not only sent soldiers
to help ext,nguish the fire. but gave
$500 for the distressed townspeople.
