MINERS WOULD NOT WORK
CELEBRATED NEW YEARS DE- SPITE OPERATORS' REQUEST.
Effort to Keep she CoIIieries Going Meets with III-Suecess-Fear That To- day VIII be Repetition of That Fol- lowing Christmas When Only About Half Reported for Work.


 Scranton. Pa.. Jan. 1.-An effort was made by all the coal operators to work their collieries to-day, but it met with ill-success.
 At each colliery. the foreman went around yesterday and gave notice to all hands that the company was very desirous of working so that the relief of the coal famine might not be retard- ed. Some men reported at every mine, but it was only in a few instances that enough reported to make start.
 The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company got four of its nine teen collieries started, but at noon they had to shut down, the hands, particu- larly the slate pickers, refusing to con- tinue. The Delaware and Hudson got two of its twenty-two places started but they worked only a few hours. The Erie started two places, and one of them ran all day. None of the thirteen Ontario and Western or of the eight Temple Iron company collieries even made a start.
 It is feared that tomorrow will see a repetition of the experience of the day following Christmas, when only about half the men reported for work.

BILL SENT TO THE
PRINTING COMMITTEE

Mr.. Iynch's renewed motion TO again
table The bill was defeated by safe vote
and then the bill Was sent to the printing
committee.
Evidently Mr. O'Kccfc of Deer Lodge
has been having trouble with his doctors.
AT any rate he is OF the opinion that the
medical men get more for their services
than they are worth Following notice
given Tuesday he presented 10 the house
today one OF the unique bills Of the pres
cnt session. II IT should become a law
the physicians Of the state would be al
lowed to charge but So cents for writing
a prescripion and only 5 for making a
house call ~ the day time Should the
baby get sick al night the doctor would be
allowed au additional 81, and in case the
man Of medicine should bc called oW of
town he is to be allowed $II5 for each
mile Travelled by day and $i2o is the night
rate
Both Miller ard lansium of Lewis
and Clarke are medical men aud they
think the bill is a huge joke.
one feature of the bin as read Is that
it applies only TO homeopathic and allo-
pathic practitioners.

WITNESSES REFUSE TO
GIVE THE DETAILS

Brooks denies that the gun was hred
twice. but there are two wounds in the
remains of Chevrier, one in the left
temple and one III the right side, which go
10 disprove that particular of his story.
Nobody at the Maule block, not in the
room or the hall where the shooting took
place, at the time, saw it, and Mrs.
Brooks, who was present, and Mrs. Riley,
a young woman who may have been
present, refuse to give any details.
Brooks story is that he heard at an
early hour this morning that mis- wife was
with Chevricr at the Maule block, and
that he went there and heard his wife's
voice in CheWier's room. lie says he
raped twice on the door and received
no response. Whereupon he shouted to
the people in the room that he would break
III the door unless he was admitted There
was no response 10 that and he threw
himself against the door and broke it in.
The rush he made carried him into the
room, and he declares Chcvricr sprang
at him and they grappled. Then he
struck the latter several times with the
weapon and the pistol went off. lie does
not say whether Chevrier fell after the
shot was fred OF what he did afterwards

WHEN BROOKS KNOCKED
SHE ASKED WHO'S THATY

They also discussed what happened in
Chcvrier's room before Brooks broke in.
wnen the knock came Mrs. Brooks said I:
who's that" according 10 the reported
conversation
Chcyricr replied That's Riley; sit
STILL" referring TO Mrs Riley, whose in
terest in him was apparently more sim
cere than that OF the others.
rs that kilcy's Knock Mrs. Brooks
asked.
yes; that's Rilcy's knock" was the
reply.
He was mistaken. however, as the hor-
rible sequel showed.
Mrs. Brooks Is reported to have said
that she would have to leave town now,
as Brooks would get a divorce.
"Oh, you won't have to do that. You
can wind Walter around your finger"
Mrs. Johnson is said 10 have replied
"Oh. ! could do il, but | can't any
more" Mrs. Brooks answered to that.
Mrs. Brooks insisted that the false hair
and the crooked hairpins that went with
it we're Mrs. Johnson's and as there is
nothing to show that Mrs. Johnson was
at Chevrier's room last evening the hair
must have been left there at some pre-
yious time.

ing. As said above, Mrs. Brooks is small
and chic, with pretty, vivacious face
Mrs. Johnson is a dark, curly-halred young
woman OF dark complexion. Both she and
Mrs. Brooks are each about IS years old.
Mrs. Riley is a handsome young woman
with beautiful red brown hair and rosy
checks. She was the most affected woman
OF the three. While the others laughed
she wept, and there was undoubted hos
tility between her and Mrs. Brooks. Mrs.
Brooks and Mrs. Johnson were the best
OF friends apparently. Mrs. Brooks was
at first locked up in a separate room and
she complained in no uncertain tones at
that treatment. When She was let out in
the corridor and the other rooms, how
ever, She was soon laughing with Mrs.
Johnson

Walter w. Brooks Finds
His Wife in Company
of Alleged Lover
THREATS UNHEEOEO
Breaks Down Door and
Shoots With True Aim
He Denies Deed.

Emery Cheyficr, barber who evidently
WAS interested in several women, was shot
and killed in the Maule block at about 3
O'Clock this morning. Walter W. Brooks
a bartender employed at the Casino resort
on East Galena street, is in the county
jail charged with his murder. Brooks
admits that he held the pistol with which
fired from it that struck Chevrier. There
are two pistol wounds in Chevriers body,
however
Brooks says that he found Mrs. Brooks
in Chevrier's room with the latter at the
time the killing took place, and that he
broke in the door, and when Chevrier at
tackled him he drew revolver and struck
the other over the head several times, and
that during the scuihe the gun was dis
Charpcd once.

derby hat on the bed, presumably Chew
them after he and Mrs. Brooks entered
the room. Since the room had not been
disturbed or the bed been disheveled,
il is likely the barber and the woman
had just come in.
There was plenty OF opportunity for
Chevrier and Mrs Brooks 10 get away
from the room after Brooks knocked II
they had seen fit to do so, for the win
dow opens on the back porch and il would
have been easy for them TO have thrown
it up and left. But there is evidence to
show that Chevrier was mistaken at first
as to who the knocker was, and thought
it was Mrs. Riley. who APPARENTLY was

MAY HAVE ESCAPED
AFTER BEING SHOT

Chevrier, at all events, was found at
the second landing OF the stairs in the
front part OF the house leading to the
street, and his room is the rearmost room
on the first floor above the street and
the back window looks out upon the back
porch. This shows that Cheyrier either
received the wound that caused him to
fall at the place % the stairs where his
body was found or made his way to that
place after he was shot. lie may have re-
ceived the last shot at that spot. He
was dead when he was found. The land
lady of the house says she was asleep
when the killing occurred and that she
heard only one shot. She did not see
anybody during the shooting and only
the body Of the barber afterward. Brooks
and his wife had departed before she or
the other people who were in bed were
able to get out.
After the shooting Brooks disappeared,
but came into the city Jail about S o'clock
and gave himself up with this statement:

NO ABRASION ON
HEAD OF DEAD MAN

The condition of Cheyrier's head hardly
bears out Brooks statement that he beat
the former over the head with the pistol.
There are no marks on the head that look
like abrasons produced by pistol There
is an abrasion about an inch and half
long under the pistol wound on the tenn
pie, however which may have been made
by blow from Brooks fist
In the conversation among the women
