MOTOR RUNS AMUCK
Electric Car Kills Man and
Wrecks a Dwelling.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Oct. 25.-A runaway
electric car on the Chicago & Joliet
line today killed a man, demolished a
house and reduced itself to splinters
after a terrific plunge down a steep
incline in this city.
Just as the car began to descend the
steep hill, Motorman Bouray fell in a
faint and rolled from the platform.
Miss Anna Westborg, the solitary pass
enger, saw her peril and jumped from
the car, escaping with some painful
bruises. The. car bounded forward, go
ing down the hill at a terrific speed.
AT the foot of the hill, where there is
sharp surve, Peter Sharp, eighteen
years of age, was waiting for the car.
He had not noticed that it was running
away. When the car struck the curve
and jumped the track 1t scooped young
Sharp on the fender and crushed into
Charles Holsteins dwelling. Sharp's
brains were battered out against the
stone foundation. The side walls of the
house were crushed in and the entire
structure was wrecked. Mrs Holstein

FaCtions-Judge Clancy WiiI Not Go a.Fiuntinq-He
Is Hanged in Effigy at Great Falls.

BUTTE MONT, Oct. 25.-The most
important development in the copper
war situation was the fact that Judge
William Clancy decided to forego his
intention of shooting elk while thou
sands of idle miners are looking to
him for whatever relief is possible.
Judge Clancy today stated that he
Will not leave the city, and will do
all he can to expedite the appeal from
his decision to the supreme court.
A local committee of the miners
union called on the judge this after
noon and had a long consultation with
him on the subject of postponing his
hunting trip. The judge had already
Informed Mayor Mullins that he decid-
ed to give up the trip. The fact that
a number of armed men were around
the depot last night when it was re-
ported the judge intended leaving the
city, caused the mayor to take extra
precautions looking to the personal
protection of Judge Clancy. Every cor
ner in the city is being guarded close
ly and a number of special policemen
has been Immediately pressed into
service. All Saturday night four police
men guarded the home of Judge Clancy
and two the home of Judge Harvey.
Mayor Mullins said today that he
would employ 500 special policemen if
he found that the situation warranted
it. While there have been no unusual
demonstrations, the mayor says he will
take every precaution to prevent any
thing that might incite riot or dis
order. Smoke is still issuing from the
Colorado and Washoe smelters, but it
is stated that the fires probably will
be withdrawn in both plants tonight
or tomorrow. The engineers and pump
men at all the properties of the Anal
gamated company are still employed
in keeping the mines drained of water.
Butte Is Thronged.
The city tonight is quiet, though
thronged with idle crowds. The an
nouncement of Judge Clancy'J aban-
donment of his hunting trip has ap-
parently had a soothing influence. In
dignation is still rife over the departure,
from the city of John MacGinnis.
Late last night an effigy of Judge
Clancy was discovered hanging in one
of the principal streets of Great Falls,
where the big electrolytic smelters of
the Boston and Montana company are
located.

Plus OPENS LIBRARY
Vatican Archives Thrown Open
to the Students.

ROME, Oct. 25. = The Vatican
archives. containing the most impor-
tant historical documents in any Ii
brary in the world, have just been
thrown open by Plus X for the in
vestigation of students.
For centuries this great collection
has been jealously kept from outside
inspection, and it was only recently
that Leo XIII. allowed a few privileged
persons to peruse the treasures.
The new pope has done even more,
and hereafter every student will have
a chance to wade through this sea of
historical information.
The Vatican archives occupy thirty
six rooms in the rear of the palace, and
contain all the documents relating to
nuncios and papal ENJOYS, many auto
graph letters from kings and emperors,
the drafts of treaties with foreign
governments, the original acts of the
many councils of the church, and many
of the most important documents re-
garding the history of nations
1t is because of these important
archives that Germany, France and
Austria lately established in Rome
schools of learning, where students of
history may come and be near the
source of the information which they
seek.
One portion of the archives will,
however, be kept strictly closed to pub
lie inspection. This is the one which
contains all the documents of the holy
office or ancient inquisition, which are
in great part the records of the pro-
ceedings taken against ecclesiastics in
the last five centuries.
The rule Of the Vatican that all doc
uments received within the last fifty
years be kept secret, will also be strict
ly adhered to.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 25.-Two
Italians, Joe Surnora and Pete Gala
ona, well-to-d do property owners of
this city, say they have learned that a
large treasure, buried by pirates, is in
the ground at Alix and Bounty streets.
They began search tonight The
men had as equipment for the search
two white pigeons, several pieces of sill
yer, some gold, lodestone, and a large
bowl.
The feet of the pigeons were tied to-
gether with strings, and gold and silver
We're attached to the strings. The
birds were put into the bowl, which was
then covered One of the men carried
the bowl about the yard. At a point
just back of the shed the pigeons began
violently f1uttering their wings This
was supposed to indicate that they
were over the treasure. A negro was
hired and the work of excavating be-
gan at this point.
The two men afterward secured a
'yek," which they will use as magnet.
The 'yek' is made like a huge billie"
1t is covered with leather and con-
tains lodestone and other magnetic
substances. The Italians will use this
to aid them in locating the treasure.
Work was begun on the excavation
last night and continued until day.

Friday night, when it will be recon-

BAD MEN Get AWAY
Three Desperadoes Draw Guns
and Escape From Box Car.

With three desperadoes locked in an
empty box car, the crew of the Great
Northern freight train, which ran
from Melrose to Minneapolis last night,
stopped at the Great Northern junction
at 10 o'clock for the purpose of turn
ing over the captured men to the po-
lice, when the door was opened, the
tramps made a dash for liberty and
escaped.
Brakeman Jack Hogan discovered
the men in the car when the train was
several miles from Minneapolis, and
when he ordered them to leave the
train they drew revolvers and threat
ened his life if he would not allow
them to remain. Hogan replied by
quickly closing the door and locking it
on the outside.
He informed the conductor and train
crew of his capture, and it was decided
to turn the men over to the police at
the Great Northern Junction in Min
neapolis When the door was opened
to take the men from the car, however,
the latter, with drawn revolvers. made
a desperate sortie and succeeded in
getting away.
Hogan nearly recaptured one of the
men. He pursued him and struck him
over the head with his lantern. The
bandit, after dropping his revolver,
made his escape with two companions.

three of her children yesterday at Pa

She first strangled her eldest daugh-

her son Harold, aged six, and, securing
an axe, struck him blow on the head.
Later in the evening she killed her
seven months-old baby, Maria, by
strangiing.
The murder of her children was re-
lated by Mrs. Iverson to Sheriff Nesbitt
today. She related that during the
night she had walked about the house,
lying down for short time on the
noor. She said she realized now that
she had done wrong, but believed that
she was doing right at the time she
committed the deed.
Early this morning Mr.. Iverson drove
to Pacific Grove. He knocked at the
front door of the cottage where his
family had been living, and was told to
go around to the back door. He did
