The head and face were horribly mu-
tilated. The entire right side was
crushed In. A huge aperture yawned
behind and above the right ear and
another over the left eye. Both jaws
were broken loose from the head and
the skull came to pieces during the
examination.

ed while in bed. The remains will be
buried in the potter's field outside of

The accused woman maintains the
same sphinxlike demeanor that has
characterized her every act since ar.
rest She was subjected to a sweating
process all day yesterday, but nothing
escaped her by word or action to in.
dictate. the slightest appearance Of
guilt. Not an eyelid quivered or the
slightest change Of color showed in
her face as the officers confronted her
with the proofs Of the crime. Chers-
kee blood runs in her veins. Nothing
seems to break her stoical behavior
except an occasional profession of ig.
norance Of the entire affair.
The officers say they have incrimin-
ating evidence which can not be made
public at present.

Henry Delaney, II years old, will an.
swer in the federal court to q charge
Of robbing the postofice at Lolo. He
appeared voluntarily before United
states Commissioner Wallace p. Smith
and confessed the crime. He was plac.
ed under $500 bonds. HIS father. ].
F. Delaney, furnished the bond. It
was the father who compelled the boy
to confess and surrender.
The postofice at Lolo has been en-
tered several times during the past
year and mail matter tempered with.
In spite of this the depredations were
continued and a paddock was the next
resort. 1t was impossible, however, to
keep out the unknown criminal.
Postoffice Inspector Beatty Of Great
Falls has been working on the case
and details Of the robberies have been
Kept from the public. Early In the
present week Inspector Beatty visited
Lolo and cleaned information that
caused suspicion to rest on young De-
laney. The official believed that the
boy had at least guilty knowledge Of
the affair and questioned him closely.
put was able to detect nothing to solve
the mystery Of the robbery.
Back of the above statement Of facts
there is a story of rectitude in the
path Of duty rarely equaled in real life.
Young Delaney, after the inspectors
visit, confessed to his father that he
was guilty. Hesitating not an instant.
he at once came to Missoula with his
son, and before the federal commits.

residents Of this community for many

Series Of caIamities.
"As congress knows, series Of ca
amities have befallen the Philippine
people. Just as they were emerging
from nearly six years Of devastating
warfare, with the accompanying de

up of the bonds Of social order and the
nabits of peaceful industry, there &C
Cured an epidemic Of rinderpest which
destroyed 80 per cent of the cariboos

pie without draft animals to till the
lands or to aid in the ordinary WORK
Of farm and village life. The extent
of the disaster can be seen from the
fact that the surviving cariboos have
increased over tenfold in value. Al

TRAGEDY BROUGHT TO LIGHT
OCCURRING NEAR POMER0Y,
WASHINGTON, LAST FALL.
Remains Identified 40 Those Of Henry
Lartipue-Ais Wife 10 Held for the
Murder-petaiIs Of the Discovery Of
Body-Was Buried With a Saddle
Wife is Dumb on the Subject.

PomerOy, Wasn., Marcn Zine
body found buried in the dooryard OF
the Estes ranch has been exhumed
and identified as that Of Henry Larti-
que, husband of Amanda J. Lartigue,
who is held for the murder. A coro
ner's jury has decreed that Larugue
came to his death by the wounds OF
an unknown instrument in the hands
OF an unknown assassin.
When Sheriff Strain drove away
from the place with the wife in his
custody a body of neighboring farm.
ers Joined Deputy Sheriff Hawkins,
and together they made q minute In.
spection Of the premises. The Estes
farm house stands in q little plat OF
level ground scarce half an acre in
all, graded out of the side Of steep
bank cut from the hillside by the win.
ter freshets that swell Deadman creek,
which flows at its foot. In this little
plat few flowers grew. and nothing
more.
For some time past the accused wo.
man has offered the ranch for sale or
rent, but has always made the condi-
ton that the house, together with this
dooryard plot, should be reserved. This
seemingly Insignificant fact gave the
deputy sheriff his clue. He reasoned
that If there was any body there II
must be in this yard. He provided
himself with an iron rod several feet
long and went all over this half acre,
sinking this rod into the earth. At a
point 40 feet northwest from the cor
ner Of the house stood a dead locust
tree. When the iron was thrust be-
meath the roots of this tree it encoun.
tered an obstacle. Repeated trials
met with the same resistance. The
iron had struck the saddle. which lay
over the dead mans head.
Willing hands with shovels soon
reached the telltale object and reveal
ed the body Of the victim, crowded
face downward under about three feet
of earth in an old potato hole, used
on ranches to store potatoes in the
winter. Darkness had now fallen on
the scene and the searchers suspend
ed further examination till the arrival
of the coroner in the morning.
At $3.50 o'clock in the morning, Cor
oner Black having arrived, a jury was
empaneled from the Outstanding far
mers and complete elimination Of the
remains made. The body lay cross.
wise in the potato hole, which. being
dug square, was about foot too short
to contain it at full length, and even
In this position the legs had bad to be
curled under to find room.
No clothing was on the corpse ex-
cept an undershirt and black over
shirt with horizontal white stripes.
Around the neck was blue and white
polka dot bandanna handkerchief.
which article was a never absent ad-
junct to Lartigues cowboy makeup
during life.
AS the outlines Of the form met the
view of the onlookers, many were the
comments on its unmistakeable resem-
blance to that of Lartigue. The hair
was of medium length and in perfect
order, without DISAGREEMENT, and had
the same blue black hue, and hung in
the same rope like strands, which were
striking and well remembered feat
ures Of the appearance Of the deceased.

Famine Danger.

"Under these circumstances there Is
imminent danger Of famine in the
islands. Congress is in the course OF
generously appropriating 100000 to
meet the immediate needs; but Of in
dispensable and preemlnent need is the
resurrection of productive industry
from the prostration into which 1t has
been thrown by the causes above emu
merated. I ask action in the tarif1
matter not merely from the standpoint
Of a wise governmental policy. but as
q measure Of humanity in response ia
an appeal to which this great people
should not close its ears.
Responsibilities to Fulfil.
1--WE have assumed responsibilities
toward the Philippine islands which we
are in honor bound to fulfil. We have
the specific duty of taking every meas
ure in our power to see to their pros
perity. The first and most important
step In this direction has been accom-.
plished by the joint action of the mill.
tary and civil authorities In securing
peace and civil government. The wis
dom of congress at the present ses'
sion has provided for them a stable
government; but there remains a vital
need that one thing further shall be
done. The calamities which have be.
fallen them as above enumerated could
have been avoided by no human wis
dom. They can not be completely re.
paired. but their suffering can be great
ly alleviated and permanent basis of
future prosperity assured If the econ.
omic relations Of the islands with the
United States are put upon satisfac-
tory basis.
