CALLED HIM BEAST.
MRS. BARTHOLlN KNEW HER SON
WAS FULL OF EVIL.

WAS FULL OF EVIL.
Chicago. Aug. 23.-Tho coronor'S
jury at the inquest Thursday over
the body of Mrs. Anna Barthulin
brought in a verdict recommending
that her son William Bartholiu, be
arrested and held as principal for her
murder, and that Oscar Thompson
and Edward Couusclman, who are
under arrest accused of completely
in the murder Of Minnie Mitchell, hc
held to the grand jury as accessories
to the crime. The jury found that
Mrs. Bartholin came to her death on
or about July :, death being due tn
StranEuIation.
During the inquest, Mrs. May
Brown, former noiEnbor Of Mrs,
Bartholin, testified that the old lady
was suspicious and lived in deadly
fear of her son. According to Mrs,
Browns testimony, Mrs. BaTthoin
in a conversation a few days before
her death had told the witness THAI
young Bartholin was nothing but
beast and that the Mitchell family
would regret the day they allowed
Minnie Mitchell to have anything t.
do with him. Mrs. Bartholin in re-
lating her troubles declared that she
believed him capable Of almost any
crime.
The police hope for more substantial
results from this inquest than from
the similar proceedings yesterday in
the Minnie Mitchell case. Although
the result of the COroner'S jury yer
dict yesterday was the holding Of
three men to the grand jury for COM
plicity in the murder OF the supposed
Mitchell girl, such grave doubts exist
over the identity Of the body that
was buried as Miss Mitchell that cf-
forts were renewed today to have the
Mitchell family eXhume the body for
further inspection.
Doubtful Identity will be the bur
den Of the defense Of Oscar Thompson,
John Clatrey and Edward CounSelman
who were held yesterday to answer
for the supposed Mitchell crime. The
first two already stood as principal
and accessory In the murder Of Mrs.
Bartholin. AS yet nothing definite
has been heard Of the whereabouts OF
William j. Bartholin. Much doubt
exists, however, as to whether Miss
Mitchell is dead.
Mrs. Brown testified that Bartholin
had frequently quarreled with his
moher and struck her. She said Mrs.
BaItholn hada considerable amount
Of mnoey just before she disappeared.
Late in the day the cOroner's jury
returned a verdict that Mrs. Bartho-
lin came to her death on July from
strangulation and recommended that
Oscar Thompson ( who is already held
as principal in the murder,) and En-
ward Counselman he held to the
grand jury until discharged by due
process Of law.
The jury further recommended re.
leasing John CIalIcy in this case and
that Williasm Bartholin be appre-
hGnded.

Several years ago this movement
began in Texas, when a number of cat

something for market during the win
ter and spring months. The Texas
cattle man loked further for feed
than his unmowed pasture; he began
to plant forage crops, which were
harvested to be fed in connection with
Q concentrated foods. The idea
was, primarily, to systematic the
work SO as to ship to market at any

Little Transaction In Madison County
Results in the Arrest Of
Mining Broker.

Anaconda Standard: Alex Walker,
a real estate man and mining broker,
was arrested yesterday by q sherih's
officer of Madison county, who charg-
ed him with issuing a worthless check.
A deputy arrived from Pony last ev-
ening and will take Walker back to
Madison county. In the meantime he
is out on his own recognizance. Walk
err had notice of the fact that a war
rant was out for his arrest for several
days, and he was given al opportunity
to settle by paying the amount of the
check, about $50, which he could cas-
lily have done, but he declined to pay
and signifed his willingness to go to
Madison county and fight the charge
against him. It appears that Walker
and another party were in Pony about
q week ago and were induced to take
part in a gambling game at which they
lost money and issued checks in pay
ment of their losses. 1t is alleged that
when the checks were presented for
payment it was discovered there were
no funds on deposit to their credit.
Walkers partner raised money and
paid the claim against him, but Walk
er declined to make good his check,
claiming that it was obtained without
consideration and through an illegal
transaction. Upon that ground he
means to fight the case against him.
Walker was formerly a member of
the Gamer-Walker Investment com
pany', which is at present in the hands
of a receiver. He retained Attorney
S. G. Herrin, and it is probable that
some condensation for gambling will
be begun.

SHE is TURNED o
Charge Against Fergus County Wo-
man Dismissed.

Mrs. Ezra Trinkle, the woman from
Lewistown who tried to run away
from her husband and was arrested
at Great Falls, says the Tribune,
on telephone communication
from the sheriff of Fergus county that
he held a warrant for her, charging
grand larceny, issued on complaint of
her husband, was released from the
county Jail Saturday by order of the
county attorney at Lewistown. The
complaint against her has been dis
missed and the general impression is
that Trinkle worked" the Fergus
county justice to have his wife held
until he could catch up with her.
Trinkle arrived in the city a few
hours before the word was received
at the county Jail to release the wo-
man, and he W. there to receive her
when she gained her liberty.
Now that they are both here it is
very probable that they will not re-
turn to Lewistown, but will either 20
to the Musselshell or remain in Great
Falls. Mrs. Trinkle is in favor of
staying here and from his dispositi,n
to grant what she may ask, Trinkle
will also, in all probability, make this
his home.
They left the Jail together, saying
they were going to Fort Benton and
from there would go down the Mussel-
shell. Mrs. Trinkle was willing to
accompany here husband and agreed
to remain with him just so long as he
%refrained from drink.
Those who have known the couple
in Lewistown say they are both good
people, but for some time past Trinkle
has been drinking, and their man.

once they were.
