The Morrow Suit Compromised.
Rutherfordton letter in Charlotte

Attorney D. F. Morrow has
returned from Washington, D.
O., where he went to endeavor to
bring about a compromise in the
case against the Southern Railroad
Co., in the suit his son was to
have brought for broken leg
and other injuries received in the
Fishing Creek wreck, near York
vile, S. G., some weeks ago. At
ter some days debating With
Southern attorneys and officials in
Washington Attorney Moro "
succeeded in securing a compro-
misc of Sc, ZOO together with 9TH
er considerations for his con, Mr..
Marvin Morrow, who is cashier
of the Bank of Blacksburg, s. &.
The compromise is considered q
good one by other attorneys, from
the fact that if it had gone to
trial the case would not have been
settled for many years and then,
it is not likely that verdict OF
this amount would have been Civ.

WINE is COOL
THROUGH FIRE
Chalice, Plaster Cast and a
Tramp Figure in a Mon-
tana Miracle.
Special to The Globe.

BELT, Mont, June ia miracle
has apparently been wrought in the
little Catholic church here, which was
set on fire by a tramp, after he had
been refused a drink of the communion
wine. When the tramp came along
yesterday and asked for a drink of the
wine and replied that he was. not a
Catholic, in response to the query of
the good priest, his request was re-
fused, and the tramp swore to "get
even"
Later he was seen running from the
church, and a few minutes later the
flames broke out. In spite of all that
could be done the building was COM
pletely destroyed, and it was expected
that the golden chalice containing the
wine, a gift to the church by one of
Montana's pioneers, now dead, had
been ruined.
The chalice was found, however,
protected from injury by plaster cast
Of the Savior, that had fallen over it.
The plaster cast was white hot and
crumbling to pieces, yet the chalice
was cool and the wine in 1t did not
even taste of smoke. Members of the
church regard the incident as a mir
acle and are holding a celebration be-
cause of it. No trace has been found
of the tramp.

Special to The Globe.
BUTTE, Mont, June 13.-Contests
over mining claims are not always set
tied in the courts of Silver Bow coun-
ty. While John Crone, owning a claim
in Horse Gulch, two miles south of
the city, was, with his wife and six
small children, asleep in the cabin on
the claim last night, they were aroused
oy the sound of men talking outside.
An instant later voice from the dark
ness called on CrOne to come out. AS
he opened the door Mrs Crone, look
ing through the window, saw masked
and heavily armed men in waiting. She
Informed her husband, who barred the
door and made run for his gun.
Then from the darkness came a vol
ley, rifle and pistol balls pouring
against the cabin walls like hail. Crone
replied with his Al, and for several
minutes the battle ragged. The windows
Of the cabin were shattered by the
bullets fired by the attacking party,
while Crone believes he wounded at
least one assailant.
The county attorney today issued
warrants for the arrest of Charles Gey-
man and three other men, who, accord
ing to Crone, are the guilty persons.
Crone claims the men have been try

7WANDERS CRAZED in STRANGE CTTY1
Anxiety Over Condition Her
Woods Out Into the Streets iystenca

Anxiety over the condition of her
st. Lukes hospital as a result of an
accident in a baseball game, drove
Mrs. Melissa Woods to distraction last
night, caused her to leave the hospital,
where she had come to nurse him,
and impelled her to wander about the
streets in an insane manner. She
boarded a street car aimlessly and after
riding distance was put off by the
conductor, only to be taken by a po-
l1ceman, who sent her to the station,
from whence she was conveyed to the
county Jail.
Mrs. Woods, who is married and
lives with her family in Shell Lake,
came to st. Paul Friday with her
dangerously injured while playing
baseball. He had received blow with
bat across the base Of the nose, frac-
turing the bridge and causing concus-
sion of the brain. Local physicians ad-
vised his removal to a hospital at st.
Paul and he was accordingly trans
ferred to this city and placed in st.
Lukes hospital.
Fearing for her brothers safety and
not being able to allow him out of her
sight, Mrs. Woods left her home and
accompanied him to this city and to
the hospital, where she stayed con-
stantly at his bedside till last night.
All Friday night she sat at the side of
her brother, who was lowering between
life and death. The nurses endeaVored

incoherent answers, and alarmed at her
strange behavior and appearance, he
put her off and turned her over to a
patrolman.
She could give no explanation Of her
destination or intentions, and as the
officer talked with her she grew hys-
terical. She was then sent to the GEN.
trail police station where DR.. Stevens
examined her. She informed him that
she had left st. Luke's hospital, and
thinking that she had been a patient it
was decided to return her to that in
stitution. The wagon drove to the hos
pital, where the circumstances were
learned. When the wagon was in front
of the hospital Mrs. Woods broke from
those holding her, jumped from the
wagon and ran away. She afterwards
explained that she wanted to return to
the hospital but wanted to go in the
back way She was then taken to the
county JAIL
Her hysterfa became extreme when
she was placed in a cell and she
screamed continually at the top of her
voice. Her demeanor became so vio-
lent that the attendants were compell-
ed to place a strait jacket upon her
She continued to scream in a most
frantic manner and became possessed
of the notion that the attendants were
going to shoot her, whereupon she yell
ed murder" murder" murder for
nearly half an hour.
The window of the cell happening to
be open her cries went out into the
street and could be heard for blocks
around, waking up the neighbors and
attracting the attention Of pedestrians
who congregated in wondering groups
about the Jail building.
The woman was then removed to an
other cell, but continued to rave all
night long. The Jail attendants say
that she has been there before She
informed them that she has numerous
relatives living in st. Paul.

to persuade her to leave, but without
avail.
The physicians of the hospital re-
solved yesterday, however, that she
should not bespermitted to sit beside
the sick man, as his condition was so
serious that the least excitement might
cause fatal consequences. But Mrs.
Woods would not listen to their or
ders. She was determined to stay.
Finding at last, however, that she
could not remain in the room she be-
came distracted. The thought that her
brother would bleed to death in the
night was what continually haunted
the woman. He had sustained several
severe hemorrhages and the thought
Of his losing so much blood worked on
her nerves till she was driven to the
verge of insanity.
When the hospital attendants were
preparing cot for Mrs Woods last
night in a room adjoining that Of her
brother, she quietly stole from the back
door of the hospital and out upon the
street. Her impulse was to telephone
to her husband that she could not stay
with her brother, and, as she could not
do so that she intended to come home
With this end in view she entered a
small store in the vicinity of the hos
pital and asked to use the telephone to
communicate with her husband. She
was told that the telephone could not
connect with the place at which he
was.
Without a hat and dressed in a black
dress, her hair disheNelled and hang

reached Bridge Square, when he asked
her where she was going. Receiving

BUTTE, Mont, June 13.-Owing to
the fact that the assistant manager of
Columbia Gardens. the pleasure resort
of this city, has trained the swans in
the little artificial lake to bring to the
shore articles thrown into the water,
little Gertrude O'Neill owes her life.
When the child fell into the water
yesterday the great birds seized her
clothing and dragged her to the shore,
pulling her up on the bank high and
dry. When the spectators reached the
edge of the lake the child was safe,
while the swans were standing around,
waiting to be rewarded with bits of
bread.
The assistant manager also has
taught the bears in the zoo to box,
and so proficient have the ungainly
animals become that they are more

PRINCE RUDOLPH
Amazing Story of Former Professor
in Iowa University.


MARINETTE WIS., June 13.-The
Marinette Star is authority for a story
that Prof. Hoffman,. who recently re-
signed from the faculty of the Univer-
sity Of Iowa, is Crown Prince Rudolph
of Austria, who was supposed to have
killed himself fifteen years ago. Hoff-
mann's resignation at the university
was requested because he refused to
reveal his identity, after admitting
that he was going under an assumed
name.
1t is stated that Prof. Hoffman,"
visited in Menon1inee Mich, at the
home of a woman, who is sister of
the commander of an Austrian battle
ship. At the time that it was reported
that the crown prince had killed him
self in Austria, it is asserted that a
corpse resembling him was made use
of at the funeral, while the prince dis
appeared from the empire, and that he
is alive in the person Of Hoffman, pro-
fessor Of medicine.
The story in part is confirmed by DR..
Redelings, of Marinette, and by Attor-
ney B. J. Brown, of Menominee. Cir
cumstances in connection with Hoff-
mann's stay In Marinette also tend to
confirm the story.
