Of Chevrier.

Fired Accidentally, Says the
Defendant.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, March 1o-Handsomely
gowned, and without blush mantling her
brow, Mrs. Walter H. Brooks, to crowd
that filled the courtroom to overfowing,
told, without hesitat ton, the story of her
shame as the result of (Which Emery
Chevrier, her betrayer, was shot to death,
and her husband is now on trial for his
life.
In her confession the woman says she
was sitting In Chevrier's lap at the time
her trate husband burst open the door.
She fled as the two men grappled in dead
ly combat and the fatal shot was fired
when she: was out Of the building.
Mrs. Brooks says she met Chevrier at
a dance about a year before the tragedy
and he repeatedly importuned her to elope
with him to the Pacific coast. Their ac-
quaintance had ripened into love until she
did not know whom she liked the better,
her husband OF the murdered man.
The first time she was guilty of mis-
conduct with Chevrier was about month
before the killing. Since that time she
had been frequent visitor to his room,
where they would drink. Other times
the carousal was at her home.
Walter II. Brook, the alleged murderer,
took the witness stand after his wife, He
said he had been informed of the where
abouts of his wife by a married woman,
named Riley, who, it appears, had been
one of Chevriers loves, and had become
jealous Of the attentions showered upon
the Brooks woman by the dead man. The
killing Of Chevrier, Brooks maintains, was
an accident, his revolver becoming dis
charged unintentionally during the scuffe
Brooks says he went to Chevrier's rooms
for the purpose Of securing evidence of his
wife's guilty actions with view Of OBJ
| tanning divorce. The case will go to the
! jury some time this afternoon.

RoLLlNesToNE's POWER
Opportunities for Manufacturing at Min
nesota City.

b WINONA, MINN.-since the opening of
the Rollingstone ditch at Minnesota City,
by which the course Of the creek is
changed to one much more direct toward
the river, interest Is taken in the amount
of power which may be developed. En-
gineers who have looked the situation over
are of the opinion that from 300 to 400
horse power could be maintained there
the year round. The establishing OF a
manufacturing industry to make use of
the power is being urged The North
Western, Great Western and Milwaukee
roads run through the village.
The mortality statement for February
makes remarkable showing. The whole
number Of deaths for the month will make
an annual rate Of 7.80 for 1000 in
habitants, as compared with an average
annual rate for cities of the country Of
Is to 1000 each. y

Buffalo, susquehanna and Elizabeth VIII
Enter the Lists.
HIBBING, MINN.--Many new mines are
preparing to enter the shipping list this
year, among them being the Buffalo and
Susquehanna, under the superintendency
of H. B. Sturtevant, the Elizabeth. under
the management Of w. H. Downing, and
several other smaller properties. It is
probable there will be a shortage Of dwell
ings this spring. Every house in town is
occupied, and many persons who are anx-
ious to come are hesitating because Of the
scarcity of buildings, both for dwelling
and business purposes.
Captain John A. Pearce, until lately in
charge of the Chisholm mine, will super

FAMINE FUND CONCERT
Receipts Over $500 Exclusive Of Many
- =. Private Subscriptions.


~ Private Subscriptions.
= FARGO, N. D.-There was a crowded
house last night to attend the famine fund
concert for the benefit of the Swedes and
Finns.. It is thought that over $500 was
raised for the fund. In addition to the
receipts from the concert there have been
private subscriptions from the people Of
the city that have been forwarded to the
general committed. l. -.
The city council seems unable, to solve
the problem of securing the needed i'm
provements in the waterworks. The law
is against further issuance of bonds,
and the council evidently has no power to
anticipate the receipts from the water
works and sign contracts for the work.
The discussion over the matter had
demonstrated that the wate~worl1s system
is a good thing for almost everybody.
The educational institutions, all the city
schools and other enterprises receive free
water and the taxpayers foot the bill. It
is probable the free list will be cut out
and the plant be made self supporting. A
new pump is one of the essentials.
