on a woman and made a general defence
OF himself
That is one Of the documents that has
been smothered by the handlers OF the

copy and he may have copies Of other
papers Coatsworth says he doesn't care
a rap whether Pennell committed suicide
or not. and he will make no effort to prove
that he did He says he Is not pulling
chestnuts for the insurance companies
The insurance companies are keenly
interested, not only because OF the suicide
clause in some OF Pennelrs. policies. but
because there may be legal battle about
the policies for $4,000 which Pennell left
in trust for Mrs. Burdick.
There is a political phase OF the matter,
too and it is best illustrated by the action
taken to-day by powerful Republican
newspaper which says that Justice Murphy
has been threatened with the loss Of re-
nomination IL he goes too far in the Pencil
inquest.
The newspaper assures Murphy OF an
independent nomination IL the threat should
be carried out. Justice Murphy is Repub

Fire started in the old studio building
at 81 West Tenth street shortly after noon
yesterday and destroyed many things in
the studio OF Frederick Dielman. president
Of the National Academy Of Design, which
he valued mainly for a sentiment. The
fire also caused little damage In a couple
OF other studios, and would have probably
caused more IL the clan OF artists In the
building had not pitched in and rescued
everything they could carry away.
John T. Jones, the janitor. discovered
the FIRE had started in Mr.. Dielman's room
He shouted an alarm to the people In the
building. and then ran to the engine house
in West Tenth street. When the Aremen
arrived the blaze had reached such proper
tons that they had to use a good deal OF
water TO quench the flames and had to chop
the walls OF several studios around Mr..
Dielman's. Mr.. Deilman. however. suf-
fered the heaviest loss.
His studio was on the third floor in the
rear. He said last night that S. 900 would
perhaps cover his actual pecuniary loss,
but that the smoke, water and flames had
ruined a number Of articles whose loss to
ment attached to them.
A number Of studies which he had made
and a number Of copies that he had painted
abroad were scorched and shrivelled up.
A large copy Of Van Dykes Holy Family
in the Flight to Egypt was wholly destroyed
Mr.. Dielman was away at the time, but
friends Of his saved several valuable pictures
one a portrait by Charles L. Elliott Of Mr.:
Battell, the founder Of the Battell Chapel
at Yale University. This picture had just
been sent to Mr. bielman to be retouched.
Mr.. Dielman considers that he was ex-
traordinarily fortunate in having that

Beneath his studio Ii that OF G.. Cimiotti,
Jr. The fremen in the course Of their
work were compelled TO chop a hole in
the floor of Mr.. Dielman's studio and q
lot Of water, dirt and splinters rained down.
Mr.. Cimiottis loss was large enough TO
trouble him a good deal. The fremen also
chopped into s. G. Guys room on the fourth
floor, but the loss there was smell.

assisted him to a place of safety.

have killed Frank Schweigkoder, his aged

old mans death until ten hours later,
Hubner was arrested and held without
bail, pending an investigation by the police.
In a sworn statement he says that he was
seated with his stepfather after the latter
had closed the saloon when Wallenfels
entered the place and asked Schweigkofier
why he was making so much noise. The
old man had been drinking, Hubner says.
and didn't make any reply. Wallenfels,
according to Hubner, struck him above
the right eye. and Schweigkoffer reeled
and fell, striking his head on the floor.
Schweigkoffer was attended by West
Hoboken physician. He died a few hours
after the assault. When the police learned
Of his death they viewed his body and
found that in addition to a cut over the
right eve there was another cut several
inches lower on the face and bruises about
the head and under the right ear. Hubner
alleges that all these were inflicted by the
blow which Wallenfels dealt. Wallenfels Ii

NEW ATTACK ON MR.. STURGIS.
ComptrOIIer Grout Sends to the Mayor Q
Third Detailed Report.

Comptroller Grout sent to Mayor Low
yesterday a third report containing ad-
dtional charges against Fire Commissioner
Sturgis and submitting detailed figures
in support OF his contention that Mr.. Stur-
es has evaded the law by splitting up
contracts.
Mr., Grout made this explanation OF his
charges:
tracts for the same sort OF work for the
sake of being able to keep from public
letting Of bids. The case Ii perfectly APP
parpnt and is shown by the investigations
Of the expert examiners. As TO the argu-
meIt used by the Commissioner that his
bills were justified by the fact that l paid
them, that is not to the point There Is
only one instance where this Office should
have detected any irregularity. The city
was responsible for the bills. II had re-
oeived benefit which must be paid for,
no matter IL the expense was incurred
lie gally."

THE FAIR.

On Tuesday next the gates of the
Flathead County fair will be opened
10 the public and from all indications
the gathering will be the largest in
the history of the county.
Many improvements have been
made at the fair grounds and the ex-
hibts in all departments promise to
be most excellent. splendid pro
gram of races has been provided and
those who attend will be well repaid
The fair is not a money making
scheme, but has been organized by
public spirited citizens of the county
and they deserve much credit for the
time and effort expended upon the
project. That their patriotic efforts
are appreciated will no doubt be
shown by a large attendance, and
every resident Of the county should
be there, for while everything posi-
bic has been done by the manage
ment they must have the co-opera-
ton of the public in order to sue
coed.
The Bee believes that in point OF
exhibits and attendance Flathead
will have the best county fair in the
state. As this is the best county in
the state, why not have the best fair?

FARMERS ORGANIZE.

The farmers of MissOula county
have learned the value of organiza-
tion and their success in this direc-
ton should be a valuable lesson to
the farmers of Flathead county.
In MissOula county practically all
of the farmers have united in a
farmers union which for the sake of
convenience of locality IS divided in
to four separate bodies, all pledged
to act together. Instead of bring
lng their produce into the local mar
ket in competition with one another
as formerly, they now combine and
ship by carloads to outside markets.
They employ an agent to look after
the shipments and instead of swamp
ing the local merchants with supplies
for which there was but little local
demand they now ship to Butte and
of trade in payment. By putting all
of their wheat into the hands of the
union they were able to exert some
influence in fixing the price and for
nhis years crop they receive so cents
per bushel as against 60 cents that
was paid prior to the formation Of the
Farmers union. These results show
what can be done by intelligent eff
fort, and the same thing can be done
in this county. Farmers complain
because there is no competition in
the local market to sustain the price
of grain. But let them combine and
send an authorized agent to Seattle
or other points with 100000 bushels
or more Of grain to sell and there
will be no lack of competition.
The local markets are glutted and
prices of farm products are democrat
AGED simply because no intelligent eff
aort is made to find a market for the
surplus stuff that is produced. 1t is
difficult for merchant to do this be-
cause he has no assurance that he
can fill one car or ten and he could
not secure any uniformity in pack
ing in the different farm products as
such are now brought to market
With concert OF action among the
farmers all OF those objections can
be overcome and instead Of selling
stuff in competition with one another
each mans crop will help to sell that
of his neighbor.

troller and president of the board OF
aldermen Tammany has named the
fusion candidates. This has had the
effect of splitting the fusion forces
in two and an effort is being made
to compel the men named for the two
minor offices to withdraw from the
fusion ticket. but with poor prospect
of success. The republicans and So
called reform democrats seem panic
stricken while the followers of Tam
many are united and aggressive.
An interesting side show is the
candidacy of Big Bill Devery" who
has been nominated for mayor by his
followers in opposition to Tammany.
Mr.. Devery represents the spoils-
men and grafters who fattened under
the Tammany regime and while he is
millionaire his campaign expenses
will no doubt be paid by Mr.. loves
supporters. for they hope to draw
votes from Tammany with Devery.
The situation is both unique and in
