RECONCILIATION POSSIBLE.
Between Crown Princess Of Saxony
and Her Husband.


Vienna, Jan. 5.-Reports have been
received here from sources closely con-
nected with the court of Saxony Of a
possible reconciliation between the
crown princess of Saxony and her
husband. The family of the crown
prince are especially concerned with
the future OF the princess unborn
child, desiring its birth to occur I'M
der conditions permitting of proper
identification and to prevent possible
substitution, which, it is supposed the
princess might attempt II the crown
princess family attempted to claim
the child. The crown prince Is report
ed as even now unwilling to abandon
the belief that the unborn child may
be his own.
While King George angrily insists
that his sons faithless wife be cast
adrift, it is understood that the crown
prince places no obstacles in the way
of reconciliation should his wife be
willing to come back. 1t is naturally
to be understood, according to report,
that it is impossible to permit the
princess to return to Saxony and be-
come queen, but the suggestion is
made that she reside in retirement
near the frontier, where she could
see her children occasionally.
No effort will be made to negotiate
with M. Giron, who is regarded as a
raw student, but it is thought that the
princess might be induced to accept
the foregoing proposals on account OF
her love for her children.

ing in Waila WalIa Valley.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 5.-There was
nothing doing on the Northern Pacific
Sunday.
To sum up the difficulties, the North
ern Pacific is now struggling with,
there are five washouts on the main
line between Castle Rock and Kelso.
There are innumerable slides all the
way from Cosmopolis to the terminus
on the Grays Harbor branch. The Au.
burn cutoff is under water for one
mile. Nearly mile of track is gone
in one place on Green river. Five or
six other and minor washouts are re.
ported between Lester and Palmer.
The big washout at Martin is followed
by succession of washouts and land.
slides all the way to Ellensburg.
The South Bend branch is under wa
ter and covered with slides from Viii.
lapa to the terminus.
The Great Northern is in exactly a
like predicament with the Northern
Pacific. The first effects of the chinook
were to again carry away the bridge
at Meadows creek. Trains were then
directed over the Northern Pacific, but
before they could be dispatched east
the Northern Pacific was blocked as
stated.
The waters in the mountains are re.
ported subsiding, but rising between
here and Portland.
At Castle Rock it is estimated that
about 10000 cords of single bolts
have gone down the river. The center
span of the Toledo wagon bridge is
gone and many smaller. bridges also.
Communication with country districts
of the flood can not be learned.
All piling recently driven for a
bridge across the Cowlitz at that point
is also gone.
Damage South Of Tacoma.
Centralia is under water, supplies
are getting scarce and restaurants;
have raised prices. All teachers but
two are away on vacation and can not
return, consequently schools can not
open Monday.
The principal damage in Lewis coun
ty was in washing out bridges and
plank roads.
Four bridges on the Great Northern
near Madison have been carried away
by snowslides and the towns of Sui
tan and Sylvania are under water, the
people using boats in the streets.

FOUL MURDER IN M|SSOULA
L. H, MOTT FIRED FOUR BULLETS
INTO HIS WIFE.
She Died Six Hours Iater-He Had
Been Drinking Heavily-They Quar-
relied and While She Was Retreat.
ing He Took Deliberate Aim and
Fired-They Had Run a Laundry.

Missoula, Mont.-Jan. 5.-Crazed by
liquor, drugs and business difficulties,
the last of which he imagined his VIC
tim was factor in producing, l.. H.
Mott, until fortnight ago proprietor
of the Troy laundry in this city, shot
his wife. Death came six hours later.
Four bullets from a revolver were I'M
bedded in her body. Three of the bul.
let's are in the small OF the back. A
five chambered weapon was emptied
at the victim as she fed down stairs
to escape impending trouble. The
shooter surrendered to the police.
Trouble in the family had been antici-
pated by persons familiar with the cir
cumstances for several days. Directly
prior to the shooting Mott had been
exceedingly quarrelsome and threaten
ing in conversation with his wife.
Wife Had Sold Laundry.
December 20, while her husband was
in North Dakota, Mrs. Mott disposed
of their laundry plant to Jones Bros,
who came from Spokane. Her assign
ed reason was that her husband had SO
neglected his business because Of dis
sipation that it had grown unprofit-
able and was too heavily encountered
with debts to be made a successful
venture. The property was in her
name. On returning home Mott was
much enraged over the sale. To a
correspondent he said he would have
his property back or some one would
dearly pay for his humiliation. His
talk was considered aimless and boast
ful-a natural condition with the man.
Mrs. Mott left the room and her hus-
band after an hours quarrel.
Took Deliberate Aim.
He stepped through another room
and, reaching the top Of the stairs she
was descending, raised the revolver 10
level with his face, emptying I've
chambers before ceasing firing. Mrs
Mott descended the few remaining
steps to the bottom, there falling.

Showed No Remorse.

Mott then stepped into an adjoining
room. In an instant he went down
stairs. To crowd of people he said:
We'll, here's the shooter; you'd bet

City Detective Hogan and Officer
ohm Wilson took Mott to the county
jail. He walked along with the Off
GERS without objection. He was plain,
ly under the influence of liquor and
greeted acquaintances with smile.
Two years ago Mott went to Spo.
kane, where he remained year as
operator of laundry. He returned to
Missoula and reopened business,
which has declined in prosperity for
several months.
