LAWYERS WILL MAN
DAMUs JUDGE HARVEY.
SOME SENSATIONAL AFFIDAvITS
Order From Upper Court to Compel
, Harney to Settle Bill Of Excep-
tions Containing Them Will
Be Asked.

"what is the next move toward get
ting a bill OF exceptions settled In the
Minnie Healy case. containing those SEN
sational a.iidavits?" Attorney John w.
Toitbis, one OF the legal representatives
for the plaintiff. Miles Finlen, was asked
this morning
I'VE will be compelled to mandamus
tire court" was the reply. Judge Har-
Lcy has refused to settle them, so we
will have to resort to a writ of man
date"
The preservation of the plaintiffs
rights in the case Is held to depend upon
the afiidavts, which contain the grounds
upon which new trial is asked by the
plaintiff.
Such being the case, the attorneys will
take such steps as are open to them to
get the ailldavits before the supreme
court.
Judge Harney has overruled the mo-
ten for new trial. and the plaintiff
must now depend upon an appeal to the
supreme court.
At the time Judge Harney denied the
motion for new trial the attorneys for
Fnlen secured writ OF mandate COM
branding him to pass upon the motion,
the ground being that, as he had first
stricken out the aiiidavits upon which
tire motion was passed he had not passed
uron the motion.
Stricken Out Afterward.
There was doubt as to whether the
.aiidavts were stricken out first or not,
aud Judge Harney was compelled to
make 1t plain to the supreme court that
he had stricken them out afterward
When that was done the upper court
decided that he had passed upon the
motion.
With reference to the affdavits, II
tod the plaintiffs attorneys that their
proper course was to get Judge Harney

This was what was attempted to be
done Saturday night.

PACKERS SAY THAT PEOPLE WILL
NOT EAT MEAT.
NUMBERS OF MEN LAID OFF
Shipments of Cattle Being Curtailed
and Enormous Decrease Of Dressed
Beef Shipments Reported
Must Cut Prices.
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, April 30.-The business of the
Chicago packers has been staggered by
The refusal OF the people of the country
to eat meat at the prevailing high prices
The demand for dressed meats in the
last few days has fallen off 80 1-3 per
cent and the discharge of men in the
packing house Is general. According to
admissions of prominent packers. this
alarming condition prevails all over the
yards.
In nearly all the big plants large
numbers of men are being laid off and
the packing business Is in state of
decentralization. The shipments of dress
ed beef from the yards have SO de-
creased during the last ten days that
cars are piling up In the railroad yards.
Shipments of cattle have curtailed by
the packers, and every branch Of the
great industry is suffering from the
present critical situation.
The only hope for restoration Is in
cutting the prices.

LITTLE GIRL TESTIFIES AGAINsD
HE'D GRANDFATHER.
ONLY TWELVE YEARS OF AGE
Tells All About the Awful Tragedy
Which Resulted in the Death
of Her Mother and
Grandmother

New York, April 30.--With remarkable
composure, l2-year-old Maud Ferguson,
the only living witness OF the shooting
OF her mother and grandmother In their
home In Milburn last Friday, has tes-
tihed at Newark to facts, which, If SUBJ
stantiated, viii convict her gray haired
grandfather, Philemon Creln.
The girl, who was looked upon as the
star witness for the state, told a straght-
forward story.
While she spoke there were few dry
eyes In the court room.
On the night of the shooting, she said.
her grandfather came into the house
and, after few words, shot her grand
mother, killing her instantly Then he
shot the witness mother and fred a
shot at the witness as she dived under
table at which she had been writ-
ing.
He then turned the revolver on himself
but the wound inflicted did not prove
fatal much to Crein's regret.
While the girl was testifying, Crelin
never raised his head.

CHARACTER STUDIES IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE Or MARY MACIANE
In Public.

Radical changes have taken place In
society In the last century, but appar-
emily Miss Mary MacLane does not
appreciate the fact. She attended her
first literary salon yesterday afternoon.
Her hostess was one of the best known
matrons in Butte and the women invited
to meet her were of the cty's most
select circle. Apparently she did not
appreciate this fact either.
Miss McLane injected into her con-
yersation plagiarisms Of old Ben John
son and limitations Of the wit OF SallIe
Ward and other women of ante-bellum
days. She resorted frequently to John
sons uneouth mannerlsms and the wit
Of so-called brilliant women of fifty
years ago.
1t was In these pleasantrles, ac-
ceptcd and applauded by society
In the not too dim past, that
Miss MacLane demonstrated that
she was unaware Of the forward move
ment society has made. She was not
aware that Ben Johnson today would not
be tolerated any more that that "A mod
ern Dogones could walk the streets with
a lantern without being arrested. She
was not aware that daring and start
ling remarks Of a Sallie Ward would be
promptly and effectually frowned upon
In any drawing room Of today and If
persisted In would result In social ostra-
clsm.
Miss MacLane, as an example Of her
conversational gifts, scrutinized one well
known woman carefully and then asked !:
do you eat with your feet In a
trough?"
Although somewhat prepared for sur
prises, the matron flushed Indignantly
and with some warmth replied in the
negative.
"Well,' said Miss MacLane, with a
toss OF her head, you look to me like
a hog"
After an hours visit Miss MaeLane
announced that she did not propose TO
spend any more time with this rabble,"
and stated that she "did not like the
hostess or the women" and the host
ess' yiands and refreshments and that
she was going home.
Some of the women who met Miss
MacLane yesterday afternoon were
charitable enough to say that her re-
marks We're simply those of young
girl of an abnormal brain from which
1.-THE Story of Mary MacLane' could
be expected to emanate and that her
language was attributable to a brain
with darkened recesses.
Whatever the explanation 1t Is Of a
certainty somewhat remarkable of the
similarity of her conversation and
rat ko milf 4,
women OF ante bellum days.
Perhaps her explanation Of the simil-
arity of Marie Bashkirtsef and herself
that the latter's soul is rencarnated In
her, Is also explanatory of her conyer-
sation yesterday afternoon. Perhaps the
souls of Ben Johnson and Others are
reincarnated In her. Perhaps there has
been soul combine formed across the
Styx and that she Is the representative
upon earth of the combine, possessing
the consolidated reincarnations.

In Pri'Oafe:

Think of thine self one good idea, but
known to he thine own,
Is better than thousand CLEANED from
fields by others sowen.
Mary MacLane Is a cleaner To be a
cleaner she has been a reader. She
has a retentiye memory and has skill
fully localized the Thoughts and liter
ary works of others and egotistlcally,
selfshly and wantonly applied them to
herself and to local surroundings.
This. young woman awaits the devils
coming.
Pleasant thought, Is 1t no;?
She says that she courts the devil
but prays, however, that the MeDhiso
of her wanton wooings be manifest in
human form.
Mary MacLane wants real live devil.
Several young men have called upon her
since her mushroom notoriety has been
thrust upon her. but the real live devil
of her day dream and minds eye has
not crossed her horoscope, and there Is
still an opportunity for Industrious
young men whose minds are removed
from things earthly ana are willing to
share the lot of woman who Is pleased
to say that she has a morbid mind and
hates mice" young men and virtuous"
women.
Mary MacLane intended to have made
the title of her book, Awaiting the
Coming of the Devil"
After mature thought she decided TO
call it, THE Story of Mary MacLane."
This the young woman says was an
original idea.
Mary MacLane tells people they are
coarse, uncouth and are very objection
oh 10 hap ha talI
her at her home at 4l9 North Excelsior
avenue that they are molecules. she
draws herself up and says that she Is
the greatest particle of matter and in
her own eyes she is an Isis, SO bright
that she blinds those who look upon her
| with the radiance of sun-lilSe brightness
| She says: How can you be bright
| when I have usurped all the brilliancy
| in the universe?
How can you know anything when
| know 1t ALL"
| She tells those who have spent their
| live in travel and contact with people
| of the world and the study Of things
| worldly that they are human molecules
and unworthy of her presence.
| Surely this little woman has clothed
| herself in egotism that cannot be pene-
| trated with a 13-inch projectile.
since hef dreams or fame give prom

| life has changed.
| Formerly she received visitors, who

men, She says that they are bold and

she has had the colossal nerve to foist
