an opposite public house in Brentford. on
the opposite side of the Thames to Kew

INCREASES SERIOUSNESS
OF THE SITUATION
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Constantinople, Aug. Io.-The murder
OF the Russian consul, Rostkovotski, has
caused intense excitement here and is the
sole topic of conversation in cafes and pub
lie places.
The general belief is that the incident is
bound to considerably aggravate the al
ready serious situation in Macedonia and
it is felt that it will undoubtedly encourage
the Bulgarians to support the insurrection-
airy movement, which is spreading rapidly,
notably TO the southwark of Monastir.
According to mail advices from Mon
astir, dated August S, the insurgents who
recently occupied the little town of Kru-
shevo, 20 miles north of Monastr, num-
bered 900.
They killed Sc soldiers in the garrison,
dynamited and burned the government
headquarters and hoisted on a hill red
flag, bearing on one side lion with the
inscription, Death or Liberty" and on the
other side the words, Courage, Brethren"
The rebels were still in possession of the
town when the letters were sent off.
Practically the whole country north of
Monastir Is in revolt. The Turkish Off
cial reports state that fresh bands of revo-
lutionsry forces in considerable num-
bers have crossed the frontier from Bull
garia during the las. few days.
Tho leading Bulgarian officials, however,
deny this and declare that the strictest
watch Is being kept along the frontier.

NINE. THERESSE HUMBERT EN-
LlvENS PROCEEDINGS AT
TRIAL IN FRANCE.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS,


Paris, Aug. Io.-The Humbert trial to-
day drew another large crowd to the Pa
lais dc Justice.
Nine. Theresse Humbert continued to
dominate the proceedings and created sew
eral scenes when the court attempted to
examine the members of the family.
NJ Bonnet, presiding judge, insisted on
examining Frederick Humbert, her hus-
band, but Nine. Theresse, rising, said:
II demand to be heard | am strong
today and will explain where the million
aires are"
The judge, however proceeded with the
examination of the other defendants, de-
spite Nine. Humberts constant Interrupt
tions.
During Judge Bonnet's searching inter-
rogation of her husband, Mme Theresse
dramatically exclaimed:
Monsieur le President, you are clearly
showing by your manner that you are
against us. You should disguise your
feelings and try to appear impartial"
The judge ordered Nine. Humbert to
desist, but she again shouted, "You are
continually showing your prejudice"
Frederick Humbert testified at length re-
garding the affairs of the Rente Viaegre,
the insurance concern which the Hum
berts started, and in the crash of which
thousands of poor people lost all their
savings.
He maintained the operations were con-
Quoted in good faith and claimed public
prejudice against the Humbert family
brought about the failure of the concern.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Missoula, Aug. Io.-William Hughes,
discharged from the machine shops by
Master Mechanic Buck, of the Northern
Pacific last night, today attempted to
shoot that official in his office. Buck
knocked the would-be murderer down and
took his gun away from him.
Hughes had been heard 10 utter threats
this morning. Shortly after noon he came
into Bucks Office primed for trouble.
The two had words, Hughes drew a gun,
and started for the official, and Buck
promptly struck him in the face, knocking
him down. lie then took his gun away
from him and sent for the police. Chief
Of Police Holingsworth made the arrest.
A charge of disorderly conduct will
probably be made against Hughes.

Throws UP Hands When
Discovered by McKen-
ma and Colligan.
WORN AND WEARY
Fugitive DeSccndS From
Hills in Order to Get
Food and Water.

James Martin one Of the men who cs-
capped from the Silver Bow county Jail
Sunday evening, tired, foo,sore, con,
sumcd with burning thirst and weak from
hunger, was captured this forenoon y
miles north Of Butte.
Deputy Sheriff McKenna and Special
Deputy Jack Coligan made the capture.
Martin, though almost exhausted, smiled
at Jalcr Dolan when he again entered tho
Silver Bow county Jail.
Martin had shaved off his moustacho
during the night but aside from this and
his weakened condition, there was no
change.
Found in the Lowlands.
Early this morning Deputy Sheriff Nc
Kenna and Jack Coligan, whom he had
sworn in as special deputy, started to-
ward the lowlands beyond Walkerville.
The wildncss Of the sun-blisiercd hills
made it an ideal place for fugitiycs who
wished to avoid publicity.
Then, too, it was on the road to the
Canadian line, where il was thought the
prisoners were heading.
Mckenna and Colligan were driving in
buggy, armed with rifles. Not a sign
did they see until they came on Martin
in a woodchopper's cabin, waiting for his
breakfast.
Trip Back TO City.
Martin was handcuifcd and placed in
the buggy The trip back to town was
made at once.
On the way back Martin spoke but little,
and said nothing at all concerning his com
panions.
lie said he had become separated from
them soon after their flight from the Jail
and that he had not seen them since.
If he felt chagrincd at his failure TO
make good his escape he gave no sign.
Il couldn't stand dying Of thirst" he
said, and that is what forced me to come
out into the open"
laments III Luck.
Once on the way back Martin spoke Of
his i'll luck. He lamented the fact that he
could not ride horse.
Say, if | could ride horse" he said II
would be few miles further away this
minute.
"Why, do you know that as | was cross
ing ranch back here horse came up to
me and actually rubbed its nose against
my face.
II can't ride, so ! didn't tackle the
horse"
When it was noised about town this
afternoon that one of the prisoners had
been captured, a great crowd went up to
the Jail to see the escaped convict.
Martin was pale and wan, but assumed
nonchalant air as he was being taken into
the jail
lie grinned good-naturedly at Dolan,
who welcomed him back to jail
Travels All Night.
Martin had Travelled all night and was
lost in the hills. He had not the remotest
idea of where he was going, save that in
general way he knew that by going straight
north he would reach Canada.
This morning he became wild with thirst.
Unused to violent physical exercise, be-
cause of his long confinement in Jail, tho
