DUAL TRAGEDY IN MONTANA.
Young Husband MOrtalIy Wounds
His wife, Then Blows Out His
HrninS

Helena, Mont. Feb 16.-Harold NJ
Cole, assistant superintendent at the
East Helena Smelter, is dead in an un-
Mayne Cole, his wife, is at her home
mortally wounded as the result of shots
fired by the husband. The tragedy Oc-
CURED this evening at the residence
of the couple. There were no witnesses
to the tragedy, and the wife is so seri-
ously injured that she is not able to
make any statement. The only story
of the affair is given by Mrs. Mayne,
the mother of Mrs. Cole. Mr.. Cole
came in from East Helena, about
o'clock. Shortly after his arrival, Mrs.
Mavne went out and returned in a
little while. AS she went up the steps
she heard a shot, quickly followed by
another. She was accompanied by her
husband, and on entering the house,
saw Cole falling to the floor, while his
wife was lying on the lounge with the
blood streaming from two wounds, one
in the head, and the other in the left
breast. Lying at the foot of the wo-
man was a number of letters.
An examination showed that Cole
was mortally wounded, and he died be-
fore physician could be summoned.
He. had shot himself through the head.
Mrs. Cole is young and handsome
woman. The theory is that the hus-
band found some correspondence be-
longing to his wife, that there was a
quarrel and then the tragedy.
Harold M. Cole was one of the prom
inent young mining men of the state.
In addition to being assistant super
intendent at the East Helena Smelter,
he was chief chemist at the works.
He had been with the smelling COM
pany since 1898. coming to Montana
from New York. He was a graduate
of the mining course in Columbia Col
lege, graduating with honors when
Is years old When he first came to
Montana he was employed by the Hell
ena and Livingston Smelling and Re-
duction Company at Wickes, as chief
assayer. Leaving that company, he
went with the East Helena concern.
Cole was "a years old and leaves rela-

to Have This job.

10 JOD.
New York. Feb. 16.--The opening
day of the week in which Prince Henry
of Prussia is looked for witnessed the
arrival of Capt. Benjamin Parker,
who has come here for the purpose of
taking the Emperor of Germany's new
yacht Meteor ILL.,, to the other side on
completion. Capt. Parker was accom-
panied by his brother and mother, Will
liam Parker and Mrs. l.. Parker. Capt.
Parker is considered one of the most
expert yachtsmen of England. For
many years he sailed the German EN-
peror's yacht, the old Meteor.
Thousands crossed the North river to
Hoboken to-day to look at the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern. Other thousands
travelled from New Jersey towns with
the same object in view, but, owing TO
the iron-clad arrangements, only
small number managed to get aboard.
The Admiral Held Services.
The regular Sunday services pre-
scribed by the Lutheran Church took
place aboard the yacht at 10 o'clock
in the morning. They were conducted
by Admiral Won Baudissin, and were
attended by all the members of the
crew. At the close the commander of
the imperial yacht carried out the ca.
bled instructions from Emperor Will
liam to place a wreath on the tomb of
Miss Beatrice Goelet, daughter of the
late Robert Goelet, and of Mrs. Har-
riet Warren Goelet, who died on Feb.
TO- of pneumonia.

roc CAUSES A COLLISION.
Freight Goes Into Rear of Passenger
Train and Kills Two.

Litchfield, ILL.,. Feb. 16.-Two persons
met death, and five were injured to-
day in a rear-end collision between
the Diamond Special" of the Illinois
Central Railroad, and a freight train,
at a point five miles north of Litch-
field. The collision was remarkable
in that the passenger was ahead of
the freight and that both trains were
moving.
Dead: +. b. Burns. fireman on
freight; Frank Mcintyre, brakeman on
freight train.
The Diamond Special was moving
at the rate of twelve miles an hour
when the freight crashed into the rear
sleeper. 1t is said the passenger would
have been travelling faster had there
not been some trouble with the loco
motives mechanism. The engineer yon
the freight engine said that the fog
was so thick he could not see 100 feet
ahead.
Two Pullman coaches were badly
wrecked, and the freight engine is
almost total loss.
No passengers were hurt, because
there were few in the rear car.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 16.-The story
recently sent over the country to the
effect that Chancellor Virgins and
some of the other members of the
faculty of the University of the South
had left Sewanee because of anony-
nous notes from supposed mountain
eers warning them to leave on pain of
death, has drawn from the University
authorities the following statements:
The widespread publication of cer-
tain conditions alleged TO exist at the
University of the South has done much
injustice to the University and has
given a most unfair and erroneous esti-
mate of the character of the people
surrounding ii.
The native population Of the section
of the country near the University are
on terms of amity and good feeling
with the University. The University
has always been a benefactor TO these
people, educating those so desiring
free OF cost and furnishing profitable
employment and ready market.
The single anonymous letter picked
up on the street IN no way represent
ed any state of public feeling. nor
caused the slightest degree OF appre-
hension of departing on the part of
any University official.

were 800 students i'm residence and
that tehy were terrorized. whereas
all the students had only left for their
homes at the beginning OF the long

sors and officers of the institution had
gone away for rest or vacation as
they do every winter.
