work on Mrs. Bouton's mouth will be

cal. With this point established to
the satisfaction of the officers, a sys-
tematic search for the men who have
been connected with Mrs. Bouton in
the facts that have come to the knowl-
edge of the police will be instituted
A number of developments have
been brought to- light by the detect-
ives. 1t is learned that Mrs. Boutog
received the 5000 reported to hay
been sent her by her family in SyrS
cuse through the Western Union Teld
graph company, that she was in thf
city on October 2 and at various times
up to October 20, that between the
two dates she did not spend her time
here, but visited other cities in Colo
RADIO.
The most important development,
perhaps, is that while in this city the.
latter part of October she was ac-
companied by a nan five feet eight
inches in height, dark complexion
brown moustasche, heavy set, who
wore a dark suit of clothes, black
overcoat and a derby hat, and who
she introduced as her husband. She
left the city on the evening of Octo-
Der 20 in company with this man and
the officers have reason to believe he
was a travelling salesman for a Chi
cago cigar house. From descriptions
it would appear that the man Mrs
Bouton identified in Denver as her
husband and the man she identified.
here are two different persons.

Chez Foo, Dec. 28.-It is reported
here that the Japanese in front OF
Port Arthur have mounted two 28-
centimeter runs on 203-Metre hill.
The persistent rumor which has
been in circulation for the past two
weeks that several torpedo boat de-
stroyers had escaped from Port Ar
thur and succeeded in reaching Vladi-
vistok is denied by the officers of the
British steamer Ellamy. which arriv-
ed here from Vladivostok today. These
officers say that the cruisers OF the
Vladivostok squadron. the Rossia and
Gromoboi, are in good shape.

SYRACUSE WOMAN WAS AT DEN-
YER HOTEL.
MADE CONFIDENT OF MAID
Mother and Sister Confident the
Corpse Found at Cutler Noun
tain Was Hers.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec. 81
The theory that the woman murdered
on Cutler mountain, near this city,
was Mrs. Bessie RENTER Bouton, for.
merly of Syracuse, N. Y, is still re.
garded by the police here as the
strongest yet advanced. The Butte,
Mont, clew that the woman may have
been Mrs. w. j. Bodono, of that place,
is discredited by the statement that
she had her dental work done very re
Gently. The dental work in the mouth
of the dead woman shows considerable
wear, this fact being regarded by the
dental experts who have examined the
work as indicating that the dead wo
man was not younger than % years OF
age.
The police today have been inter.
viewing the local drug store prescrip-
tionists and hairdressers and have
found an abundance OF evidence tina;
Mrs. Bouton was in this city for sew
eral days about October 1, and that
during her stay here she was a repre-
Sc tative of Parker Pray, manufacture
ing chemist, of 121 East Twenty-third
street, New York.
There is not a circumstance yet
brought to light, however, that gives
a clew as to where Mrs. Bouton went,
ii anywhere, from this city.
The mystery surrounding the muir
der is thought here to be yielding to
the efforts of the officers, who believe
they are now on the right track.

Mediation Possible.

Berlin, Dec. 28.-It is believed here.
that the latest rumor regarding the
willingness Of Emperor Nicholas to
listen to mediation proposals rests
upon a fresh inquiry of France as to
what terms he is willing to accept in
the case of mediation. Official circles
in Berlin entertain the possibility that
something in this direction has been
going on since it has been known that
France and Great Britain were anxious,
to terminate the war. q

Mother Certain.

Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 27.-Mrs. G. r.
Kemter, mother of Mrs. Bessie Bou-
ION, is thoroughly convinced that the
victim of the Cutler mountain murder
is her daughter. The last letter she
received from the girl was written at
the Albany hotel, Denver. She would
not disclose the contents. She said
the girls name is Doske, but she was
known as Bessie. The woman's hus.
band lives here. He is a mechanic OF
good reputation. The couple lived to-
gether only a short time and he has
not seer her since the parting. For a
time the young woman lived in New
York.

Sister Confident.

Sonta Barbara, CAL, Dec. 27.-Mrs.
Charles Nelson of this city believes
that the dead woman found near Colo
RADIO Springs was her sister, Mrs. Bes-
sic Bouton. The main point upon
which the conclusion is based Is the
peculiar dental work shown on the
teeth. of the dead woman. Other cir
cumstances support this conclusion.
She says Mrs. Bouton left Santa Bar
bara last August for Los Angeles, go
ing thence to Denver. It Is said she
travelled in company with a travelling

THEORY HAS A SET BACK

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec. rs
What was depended upon as n OF
the strongest sources of information
in what has become OF Mrs. Bessie
Bouton, the supposed victim of the
Cutler mountain tragedy resulted this
morning in a setback to the ~investiga-
ton, when a telegram was received
from New York purporting to come
from the J.. Parker Pray Chemical
Manufacturing company, for whom
Mrs. Bouton claimed to be a travelling
representative, stating that this firm
had no such agent on the road. Chief
of Police Reynolds is not satisfied
with this telegram, however, and has
wired to New York again asking for
further particulars as to the move
ments of Mrs. Bouton, basing his re-
peated inquiry on the fact that Mrs.
Anna Bethman, a local h~airdresser,
ordered goods through Mrs. Bouton
from this firm and received the goods,
delivery being in the regular course OF
time, with the chemical manufacture
ing company as the shipping party.
1t is believed that the inquiry be-
came mixed up in transmission and
the police are still confident that they
are on the track of the woman who
was murdered in Cutler mountain.
Other cIews.
Other inquiries sent out today are
to Syracuse to the relatives of Mrs.
Bouton, seeking to ascertain the name
Of the dentist who performed the work
on the teeth Of Mrs. Bouton, upon the
receipt Of whose address he will be
sent for to come and inspect the work
done in the mouth Of the woman,

Ter mountain with a bullet in her
brain and her face burned beyond
recognition, was a guest at the Albany
hotel in this city from May 2 to July
10. This has been established by the
hotel register. She was accompanied
by a man and the couple registered
as Bouton and wife. Bouton became
a familiar figure at sporting resorts
and when he left Denver, some time in
August, he told his intimates that he
was going to Syracuse, N. Y. The
woman who knew the Boutons best
was Mrs. Mary Madison, a maid at
the Albany. Mrs. Bouton told Mrs.
Madison that her folks came from Ger
many, that her parents lived in SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. and that her maiden name
was RENTER.
Description TaIIies.
Clerk Dolly of the Albany, in speak
ing of the Boutons, says: "Bouton
said they we're from New Orleans and
they registered from there. The de-
scription of the murdered woman fits
we'll with Mrs. Bouton, there being no
real points of dissimilarity that l can
now detect. During their stay at the
Albany Mrs. Bouton told me her
mother was sick and that she must
go back to Syracuse. Bouton objected
and they quarreled, but finally they
compromised by sending a package to
Syracuse"
Doctor Sherman Williams prescribe
ed for both the Boutons while they
were at the Albany. He had the fol-
lowing to say:
when l saw that the murdered
woman's name was Bouton l at once
read the description given of her, for
I remembered two patients of that
name whom I treated at the Albany
hotel last summer. The description
| printed in the pa ers tallies closely
with that of Mrs. Bouton. This woman
had a good set of teeth, but there was
much gold filing in them" All de-
scribe Bouton as a tall and muscular
