Pttsburg, April 29.-The following COM
munication to the press by Mrs. William
Thaw, mother of the countess Of Var
mouth, explains itself:
There is one line of romance, to call il
by no harshcr name, largely INDUCED in by
newspapers, which the press is asked to
correct. The particular instance now re-
ferred to is that OF the settlement, in con
nection with the marriage with the earl OF
Yarmouth.
The only facts are these: Miss Thaw,
now the countess of Yarmouth, at the
death of her father was left with an in
dependent fortune of nearly half a mil
lion dollars. Half of this amount was inn
mediately put into trust for her, the in
come only to be available during her life
time.
"What is known as the free estate Of
Miss Thaw, amounting to about half Of
the whole estate, has been by consent of
herself and Lord Yarmouth, formed into
9 trust, to be managed by the Fidelity
Title & Trust company OF Pttsburg, to-
gether with one individual trustee.

Helena April 2o.-No charges have been
filed as yet against Roy Jones of Butte,
charged with the death, indirectly, Of
Evan J. Harris.
1t was thought that the county attorney
would file charge of involuntary man
slaughter today, but thus far he has
taken no action.
The coroner's jury last night decided
that Harris had come to his death as the
result of blow struck by Jones.
Important testimony was given. Ben
and Harley Timmons, stage hands at the
Helena theater, said they were with Roy
Jones and Ray Moore Saturday night
after the show. All four had been drink
ing.
On Main street they met Harris, who
offered to whip any OF them. Harris was
drunk.
He struck at the Timmons boys, who
lodged and went on. Moore walked
across the street to join crowd of Over
land clubmen. Harris then struck Jones,
who struck back, telling the old man.
The boys went on down the street, think
ing nothing of the incident as il was not
supposed that Harris was seriously hurt.
Jones did not hear of the outcome of the
affair, being drunk and sobered up in Butte
before he knew that Harris was dead.

IN THE PROBATE COURT.
MT and Mrs A. F. Cowles Appointed
 GonSeryatorS

In the probate court to-day there was q hearing on the application of Attor- ney E. F. Cole for conservator over Mrs Evelyn T. Morris, formerly of Prospect street, and now an inmate or the insane retreat at MiddletoWn. Franklyn A. Todd of Cheshire, broth CT of Mrs Morris, was conservator until his death, which occurred quite recent ly. Some days before he died he told Attorney Cole, hisA counsel, that he would like A. H. Wells of Watertown road to be appointed in his place, be- cause he thought he would be good man for the office. Attorney Root, ap- bearing for some of the heirs, had no objection to MT Wells, but thought some one who knew Mrs Morris would fill the place more to the satisfaction of his clients. They suggested A. F. Cowles and his wife, milliners on cen ter street. MT Cowles is an old friend Of Mrs Morris and was for eight years her tenant on South Main street. Will liam J. Snow, another friend, favored the selection of Mir and Mrs Cowles, and the appointment was made under a bond of $1O,0oO.
 During the hearing it was said that Mrs Morris could be given as good care at her own home as she receives in the hospital. though it was admitted that she has somewhat improved since she was committed to that institution. It Is probable. therefore, that she will be moved home as soon as possible, for the idea of appointing Mrs Cowles with her husband was that Mrs Morris would receive the attention of wo- man who sympathizes with her condt- ton.
