THEY WILL MhRRy
When the Court Says That Is the
Proper THING for Them to Do
Under All tbs Cir
Cumstd0Ces

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 30-Acting the
triple part of groom, clergyman and
witness, John Ryan is said to have
married himself to Mrs. Martha Schiff,
a young widow. A marriage license
figures in the case, and the recent en-
forcement of the wineroom ordinance
is responsible for the Hnuptials."
Ryan denies that the woman is his
wife, but the widow clings to him and
VOWS that never shall he cast her
aside. These facts developed in the
court of Justice Dooley today, but he
was not called upon to pass on the
legality of the alleged marriage.
Mrs. Schiff is a Jewess, and Ryan is
son Of Erin. Mrs. Schiff does not
speak English very plainly, but in open
court vowed that she loved Ryan. The
Irishman in turn declared that he did
not love her. Ryan explained that
formerly he had been in the saloon
business on Blue Island avenue. He
was a bachelor and slept in small
room in the rear of the saloon Mrs.
Schiff lived on fat above. When
the police became active in their wine
room crusade Ryan was compelled to
abandon the room in his saloon. Mrs.
Schiff rented him a room. it is said.
Mrs. Schiff says she fell in love with
the boarder. She says he asked her.
to become his wife, and Ryan went
down town for a marriage license.
The police say it was a dog license
which Ryan procured, but Mrs. Sehiff
insists it was slicense to wed.
Mrs. Schiff said that Ryan took her
mitts in his, asked her il she would be-
come his partner forever, and then she
answered in the affirmative.
Il then pronounce you my wife
Ryan is quoted to have said.
Ryan denied all the allegations ex-
cept that he had boarded at Mrs.
Schiff's home He said that when he
proceeded to move away the woman
placed pair of her shoes in his trunk
and insisted on following him.
"Well, take him and CO." said the
justice.

as they exchanged greetings can best
be imagined. The governor shook
hands with each of them, and remem-
bered every face Tom Isbell, the
Rough Rider who fired the first shot
and received the first wound in Cuba,
is with the show, and his presence
alone recalled all the incidents con-
nected with the famous San Juan
charge. Roscoe Miller, Arthur Carter,
S. S. Smith, w. B. Norman, VIII. D.
Aurine, John TAFT, Jake Altman, VIM.
Carpenter. A. L. McCamish are also in
the troop now with the show in the
city.
Tucson also furnished a touching in
cident today in connection with the
visit of Colonel William r. Cody. Not
many people of the old pueblo know
that a resident of this city is the only
survivor of the famous pony express
riders, and that survivor is no less a
person than Judge Osborn. The pony
express travelled across the plains IN
the days when Buffalo Bill was sup
plying the camps on the Kansas Pacific
road with Buffalo beat. Colonel Cody
took special pains to look up his old
friend this morning, and many were
the trying incidents of the plains that
they recalled.
The Wild West show is unlike any
thing on the road. It's. instructive
value can not be estimated. 1t brings
living, moving scenes before us with
all the grace, color and beauty of re-
ality. The kinetoscope in a series of
pictures will represent different
scenes with tn eapparent motion of
reality, but they lack the life and the
blood. In the Wild West arena one
sees not only picture of frontier life,
but the scene has the life, the blood,
the motion and the color. 1t is real.
One sees the wild dash OF the half
naked Indian, tn eheadlong, reckless
galloping entree of the cowboys. the
stately advance of the cavalry, the bar
barrie rush of the Bedouins of the
desert, the ferocious pace of the Cos
sacks, the debonnair charge of the
Rough Riders, the Gauchos and the
semi-savage appearance Of the Mexican
vaqueros. 1t is a panorama Of life.
The management wishes to state
positively that the evening perform
ance will be complete in every partic-
ular.

THE IDEAL DBLlNEHTOR OF
WILD WESTERN LIFE and SCENES
COMMANDS THE OLD PUEBLO
The People OF This CItv Fire GrdtIil6d to
DOtt Their Hats to a Real Leader
OF Men.

The big Wild West show, with its
Congress of Rough Riders and the
great Buffalo Bill at their head, az
rived in the city from Phoenix early
this E.o~ning. A show of such huge
proportions could no. affor dto depend
on the railroad COMPANIES, so it arrived
on special train Oh rather on sevaral
specials.
A great crowd collected about the
yards ere sun-up, in anticipation of the
incoming show, and the unloading
proved to be a great sight. The small
boy was in the heighth of his glee,
and though a little disappointed at not
seeing the usual string of "Jumbos"
and lions and camels, still he seemed
satisfied that a big thing was on the
boards. MANY people made the same
mistake OF the small boy. Buffalo
Bills show is more historical than
geographical. The attractions deal
more with the life of man than of the
animal. Its object is to recall the
wild and reckless life of the frontier
rather than he 1airs of the beasts In
the jungle. In this particular it is
unique.
The people of this section evidently
realized that this might be their last
chance to witness this magnificent
spectacle, and they have focked into
the city in thousands. The morning
and eyenin gtrains brought in their
full quota of visitors, and fully 200
people got off the Burro at II O'Clock.
The show was given in Phoenix yes
terday before enormous audiences.
Colonel Cody never enters city that
some amusing, pathetic OF significant
incident is not brought up, and his
visit to the capital ves no exception
to the general rule. as,sggg4Ag the first
callers at Colonel Cody's tent after the
shows arrival in that city was Gov
ernor Rlodie, who was former colonel
Of the Rougt Riders. The two fell
to discussing old times at once, and
had become so intensely interested in
each others recolledtions as to be
ohlivious of their surroundings. The
flap of tbe le.t had been pulled aside
and there stood Buffalo Bills troop oi
Rough Riders, waiting patiently to
have but word with their beloved
colonel. The meeting was indeed
pathetic. and the feelings Of the men

court today. In consequence of the

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 80
One of the most sensational and pa
thhetic scenes ever seen In the court
here was enacted today, when Judge
Davis was obligd to part child from
its mother. The case was that OF Rod
ney Dolby and his former wife Gym
thia, who were battling for the custody
of their 7-year-old son, Lloyd. Dolby
had remarked since he obtained his di-
vorce, and had kept possession of the
child until July last, when the boy .
mother kidnapped him under pretence
of taking him out for q walk. After
hearing a mass of testimony on both
sides Judge Davis awarded the child
to the father.
The child, which had been sitting en-
the lap Of the mother, realized the
meaning of the courts order. He
wrapped his little arms tightly about
his mothers neck, crying loudly: 81
want to stay with mamma"
Dolby and his present wife dashed
across the courtroom toward where
the child and mother sat. The two
women struggled desperately, the
mother to retain her hold on the child
and the stepmother seeking to wrench
him from his mothers grasp. Friends
and relatives on both sides fiocked
about the two women, and the
courtroom was in an uproar. Finally
the mother broke loose and fought ner
way to the bar of the court.
"Oh, Judge" she pleaded, with the
tears pouring down her face, please
allow the child to speak"
Judge Davis ordered that the court
room be cleared, but 1t was only with
the utmost difficulty that he court OFF,
GERS succeeded in doing this. The
mother still cl,lEg desperately to her
boy, and the latter resisted all efforts
to reease his chubby arms from about
the mothers neck.
The court mandate had to be obeyed.
AS gently as possible under the cir
cumstances couple of officers finally
took the child from the mother and
handed it to the father. No sooner
had the father taken him in his arms
than the child began to kick, bite and
scratch. He held his head well back
but 1t was of no avail. The child
kept clawing his nails into his fathers
face, which began to bleed profusely.
1t seemed as If riot was imminent.
Reinforced by city hall guards, the
court officers forced the crowd back
while Dolby and his second wife made
their way to the street, where they
hailed passing cab and were driven
of, the last seen being the little fists
of the child playing a tattoo upon the
fathers face.

LANDER, Wyo., Sept. 30.--A mes
sage from the New Fork country re-
ceived today states that the body Of
man was found there and evidence
points to foul play. Coroner Schoa
will investigate. He left for the scene
this afternoon. This makes three
killings in that section in the past
month, and none the murderers
have been apprehended. The theory
is advanced that all these killings are
connected with the great sheep raid,

noon. The principal subject under
discussion at both conferences was the
power of the President to interfere in
any way with the coal strike.
The result of the conference thus far
is the decision that NO matter how
much interested the administration
may be in ending the strike, it does not
seem to have any power to act in the
premises.
The legal advisers find no warrant
in the Constitution for federal inter
