With Murder.

dent of this city and a member of the

any attempt to poison him. When
he shot she was on her knees. She
jumped up and ran to the window, out

some IA feet below, fracturing her

Colonel Griffith insists that his wife
was wounded accidentally. He was
bending over trunk. according to his
story, when he heard the report Of
the revolver and turned to see Mrs.
Griffith fall to the floor. The weapon,
he says. was one Of his own, which
Mrs. Griffith came across in gathering

was turned. He denied that there
was any possible cause for a quarrel
between himself and Mrs. Grifith and

fired the shot are absolutely un-
founded.

the Great Northern. has decided the
time is ripe to make the boldest in
vasion Of Canadian Pacific territory
the Great Northern has yet attempted.
The premier and Minister of Mines

Seattle was primarily to find out Hills
intentions in regard to the Coast Koo-

Great Northern has much in store for
British Columbia and will afford trans
portation without being bonused."
