Lord Roberts and other optimistic pro-
phets are unintentionally more 20 blame
than anyone else. No one got up and
said the Burmah war was over, or that
1t would be over in foolishly short
space of time. 1t lasted nearly four
years. and the British public took it as
a matter of course.
THE South African war has probably
got another two years to run. developing
like the Burmah affair into subalt-

garrisOns. TO supervise such work, we
know of no one better than Lord Kitch-

A representative of the Associated

EVELYN BLEwErr MURDER.
Aged Defendant Accused of the Hor-
rible Crime on Trial

Especial to the Inter Mountain)
Deer Lodge, Oct 12.-The prosecution
in the Warne trial this morning began
the introduction of it's evidence, and is
earnestly tryi-g to weave a chain of cir
cumstantial facts around the defendant
and fix upon him the responsibility for
the death of Evelyn Blewett.
The attorneys for the defense are CIV
ing evidence of the fact that they will
make strong fight for their client, and
are earnestly contending for every point
that is calculated to help their case
The first witness OF the day was Eu-
gene Carroll. superintendent of the Butte
Water company. He testified regarding
the construction Of the reservoir and the
buildings adjacent thereto. He thorough
ly outlined the plan of the valve house,
in which Warne lived, and in which the
tragedy occurred
Mrs. Julia BleWett mother of the dead
girl, was next called by the prosecution.
She testified that her daughter was 8
years old, and was exceptionally large
for her age and very stout and inteili-
gent. Mrs. Blewett was very much at
fected by the ordeal and could with DIFF
ficulty retain sufficient composure to con-
tinue with the details of the tragic
event.
Miss May Mcleod was next called, and
at the beginning OF her examination At
tOrney Booth for the defendant objected
to the introduction Of any testimony re-
garding the fire. He claimed that the
information did not charge the crime of
murder hut instead charged the crime of
arson. The point was argued by the at
torneys and was overruled by the court
Miss Mcleod testified to seeing the
valve house on fire and to seeing Warne
outside on the dump wringing his hands
and calling to her to bring him bucket.
At the conclusion of her testimony ad-
journment was taken until 2 o'clock.
In all probability 1t will take two days
of next week to complete the trial, az
there are more than 20 witnesses sum-
moned.

CHANGE OF LOCATION.
Cautious Brgands Hover About Turk.
ish Bulgarian Frontier.

Constantinople, Oct. 12.-Since the
brigands who abducted Miss Stone were
located in the mountains of Gultepe, the
approach of troops induced them to
change their location. They are now hid
ing on the Turko- Bulgarian frontier,
ready to cross to either side, as circum-
stances demand.
The decision to suspend the movements
Of the troops was partially due to the
difficulties of operating in the mountain
Gus country and practically owing to
fear that further advance might en-
danger the life of Miss Stone, hence the
American desire to try and secure ram
som. 1t is hoped this will result in the
release of Miss Stone in few days.
