in Central LuzOn.

White Sulphur Springs, Mont. Dec. o.
The fate OF George Hayes and party
OF three prospectOrs. who left here to
prospect I'm the Philippines in 1899 has
been revealed in letter just received in
the city.
The party has been missing since
March 1900. and every effort 10 locate the
miners has been futile up TO this time.
Rev. j. &. Lenhart. formerly, minister
at Hawaii, now residing at Manila. was
induced by friends of the missing men
10 take up the search.
Diligent inquiry on his part disclosed
the fact that the party. disregarding the
warning OF the military authorities not
10 venture beyond their lines of defense,
had gone into the mountains OF central
LuZOn.
Later the bodies OF the four men were
found literally chopped To pieces by bOlo-
men. Their heads and arms were sew
cred from the bodies and the bodies We're
otherwise horribly mutilated. The bod
les OF Hayes and James Brown were iden-
tilted by papers they had upon their per-
sons.

Gustave Wagner, a Berkley saloon
keeper, wanted release from tho marri-
monial bonds that kept him united to Ma
ria l.. Wagner. Mrs. Wagner a good while
ago filed petition for divorce, but this she
discontinued though today she was in
court 10 fight her husbands case.
Mr.. Wagner said his wife had been cruel
10 him for ten years. Mrs. Wagner was
always quarreliDg according to her hus-
band. and she went away three times, the
last time taking her three children.
Mr.. Wagner said his wife for weeks
and months would not cook his meals,
nor would she sit at the table with him.
She had also the habit when he was
at home Of going TO her room and locking
the door.
HEAD OF THE HOUSE
Counsel for Mrs Wagner brought out
the information that one cause OF COM
plant of Mr. Wagner was that she
wanted 10 be the head OF the house and
he thought he ought TO be.
Two witnesses testified Mrs. Wagner
was cranky and that she did not cook
Mr. Wagner's meals. Another said Mrs.
Wagner asked him To help her move a
stove as she was going TO give her hus-
band a surprise by leaving him, and yet
another said about six years ago he was
in the barroom and Mrs. Wagner threw
her wedding ring into the barroom
through the door.
Chief OF Police Donahue OF Cumberland
was also a witness. He gave Mr.. Wag-
ner a good character.
Mrs. Wagner testified In her own behalf
and proved very valuable witness.
Much that she said was not distinctively
pertinent The trouble between herself
and husband was due, she said 20 her
finding him I'm questionable relations
with "a woman.
Mrs. Wagner denied she ever had a
revolver 20 threaten her husband with or
kept an axe on the table for the same
purpose. She admitted she took $i5 that
her husband claimed was his.
The hearing was continued until We'd
nesday in order that Mrs. Wagner might
have some needed witnesses. Mr.. Wagner
must pay the expenses OF these witnesses.
