NINE. IA BONITA CONFESSES
ADMITS SHE SHOT DR.. CAYlEY
es .ar AT BUTTE, MONT.
She Has Been in San Francisco-Says
She Held the Revolver Which In
flicted the Wound-If Her Story Is
True Kelley Will Be Liberated
Says He Made Improper Proposals.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Mrs. Eva
Hart (Mme. La Bonta), a woman with
numerous aliases, wanted in Butte,
Mont, for completely in the murder of
DR.. II. A. Cayley of that city, has been
arrested here, and later in the city
prison confessed to correspondent
that she held the revolver which in
tiicted the fatal wound. %3.
Her story, If true, and it is closely
adhered to by the woman, will prob
ably suffice to set at liberty the young
newspaper man of Butte who is now
awaiting trial on the charge of hav-
ing fired the shot which resulted in
Cayley's death. This newspaper man
is James w. Kelley, and at the time Of
the shooting he was city editor of the
Butte Inter-Mountain. t
In Butte Kelley's companion was
known as Nine La Bonita although
some people called her Hart. After
her arrest she said that she went to
Butte three years ago from Deadwood,
S. d. She met Kelley soon after her
arrival in Butte and for more than two
years they had been extremely init
mate. 3'gf'p
On the night Of the shooting Mrs.
Hart said Kelley was at a banquet
and he not only was not present when
DR.. Cayley was wounded, but she has
not since seen him, owing to the fact
that Kelley did not return to their
apartment that night, and she fled
from the city the following morning.

TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of trade last week Is as follows:
Voluntary increases in wages by
some of the largest railway systems
in the country bear eloquent testi-
mony to the amount Of business
handled in the past and emphasize the
confidence Of officials in continued
heavy traffic. Moreover, by this ad-
dition Of large sums to the purchasing
power of railway employees, there is
assurance of a larger demand for all
staple lines of merchandise. There Is
no relief as to the congestion Of rail-
way traffic nor any immediate pros
pect Of free movements at the points
of most serious blockade.
Silver bullion declined to the lowest
price on record and copper and tin
also receded from former quotations.
London was conspicuous factor in
these changes.
Heavy lines Of dry goods and foot
wear need the stimulus Of cold wealth
er. Orders for spring shoes are COM
ing forward freely and there is supple
mentary buying Of winter goods on
a moderate scale. Retailers have
much money tied up in rubber goods,
for which there has been little de.
mand. Both sole and upper leather are
quiet,

PAPERS OF GREAT VALUE.
Chicago Postoffice Robbers Get $4,000
in Securities,

p Chicago, Nov. 25.-Chicago's recent
mail wagon robbery will cause several
New York stock brokers considerable
inconvenience, as it was discovered to-
day that one of the stolen mail pouches
contained several packages of stocks,
bonds and securities, which it was IN
tended should reach New York in time
to be used when the stock exchange
opens Monday. One man, member
of the Chicago stock exchange, whose
name is not made public by the post
office authorities, is said to have
mailed a paper of the face value OF
100000, which was in one of the miss
ing sacks. This paper is not negotia-
BILE, but its loss may cause a great
amount of annoyance.
AS near as can be estimated by the
postal authorities, the robbers secured
between $4,000 and $4,000 il cash
certified checks and other negotiable
paper. OF this amount $1,000 belonged
to the postoffice, the receipts of one OF
the substations during the day. Nc
trace of the robbers has yet been
found.

AUSTRIA HAS A STEEL TRUST.
The Combine Takes In Twenty.three
Plants. ti

Vienna, Nov. 26.-After several
months negotiations the Austrian and
Hungarian iron and steel industries
have succeeded in forming a gigantic
combination comprising 23 separate
establishments, the capital of which
aggregates $70,0OO,O00. The new Or
ganization is cartel or combination
under which each establishment is
worked separately, though all is super
vised by a central board which regu-
lates the output and fixes prices. This
combine includes practically every
iron and steel interest in the dual mon
archy, such as the production Of raw
iron, bars, plates, nails and wire.
The agreement will be effective for
10 years, expiring June IS, 1912. The
Austrian and Hungarian cartels are or
ganized separately, but worked jointly.
The Austrian combination has 18 mem.
bers and the Hungarian Ave.
1, It is anticipated that this organiza-
ton will result in great Improvement
In the industrial situation, which is
Just now exceedingly unsatisfactory,
particularly in motive and wagon work
branches. OF 10000 machinists In
Vienna, 5000 are reported to have been
discharged recently. The wagon and
locomotive works in other parts Of the
country are employing only about halt
the regular force, and one result OF
these conditions is large increase in
emigration, particularly from the iron
districts of Bohemia, whence hundreds
of persons have lately gone to Canada
Mexico and America. The general sit
uation is likely to improve shortly
when extensive public works, includ
ing the construction of canals and rail
road bridges, will be begun. These
public works in Austria will, it Is esti
mated, cost $75,000,000, and in Hun
gary $37,500,0O0.

superintendent Of the Ross-Moyer
Machinery Tool company, was killed
today at the factory here. His body
was found tonight in pool Of blood
in the counting room and every indi-
cation points to struggle, but no
clue to the deed can be found. The
only other person known to be about
the building was the colored janitor,
and the most vigorous sweating" has

Siefert, another employe. was found
murdered in the engine room Of the
same factory, and the mystery of that
deed has never been solved. Both vic.

In view of the apparent need Of addi-

is to take active steps towards this

Mother Rjsked Her Life,

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 24.-The love
of a mother for her son prompted the
performance Of heroic deed at Shoal
bay recently. Nine year old William
Graham fell into the water while play
