THE COLBERT ESTATE.
It Will be Escheated to the State Of
Montana.

Helena, April 1.-The $4,000 es'
tate of Charles Colbert, of Butte, es'
cheats to the state Of Montana. Char
les Colbert, miser, died intestate in
that city, leaving an estate valued at
$4,000. Shortly afterward two wills
were filed for probate, one known as
the Woolbeater will and the other as
the Scheuer will.
The state of Montana, through At
tOrney General James Donovan, con-
tested their validity, and at the trial
the Woolbeater will was declared a
forgery and the Scheuer will was
thrown out on non-suit.
Scheuer sought a new trial on the
ground of newly discovered evidence,
which however. was denied by the
court; hence, the appeal to the SUI
preme court. That body reversed the
lower court and ordered new trial.
Attorney General Galen then ap-
piled to the supreme court for a re-
hearing, which was granted, and to-
day the supreme court reversed it's
former decision, thus permitting the
original district court decision to
stand, meaning that there being no
wills or relatives, the estate escheats
to the state of Montana.

BAT MASTERSON TALKS.
Is More Cussedness in the East Than
in the West

New York, March 29-"There new
er was as much downright cussedness
in the west as you'll find right here in
New York, and as for gun play, you're
apt to find more along Broadway than
in the main street of the newest min
ing camp. That's what I've got down
in my little book since l first stacked
up against the local game"
In this wise did w. Bartholomew
Masterson-called BAT" for short
sworn in as deputy United States mar
shall today, unbosom himself. Cues
toned about his duties, BAT" said:
II imagine that they will be the
same as those of the olher deputies
in the office. I am not expecting to
be assigned to any special line OF
work."
How about the gun. 'Bat?'" he
was asked.
"The last time l carried a gum"
said Bat, was when was arrested in
this city couple of years ago, be-
cause certain central office men
thought they had landed me. had
a gun then, but you need them in this
city.
"Out west if man goes armed he
expects to get shot. If he hasn't
a gun he will never be harmed. If
the other fellow gets the drop on him
all he's got to do is to throw up his
hands, say that's he's defenseless, and
he's safe. Now. no one would shoot
an unarmed man out there. That's
the code of the wild west, as you call
it, and it's far safer place than
Broadway, New York. for the man of
peace.
"Why, nine out of every ten men
in the cafes along Broadway carry
revolvers. It's stuck sideways in their
back pocket and they could be pepper
ed dozen times before they drew it.
But when they shoot, it's cold murder,
nothing else.
why, there never was as much
downright cussedness in the west as
you will find in Broadway. We try
to be gentlemen out there. even
though we don't wear silk hats ant
spats. Here they've got the spats and

THE KAISER
AT TANGIER
CUTS HIS VISIT SHORT
BECAUSE OF RUMoRs OF AN.
ARCHlSTS PLOT.

Tangier, April 1.-Emperor William
OF Germany paid flying visit to Tan
gier today, remaining barely two hours
on shore. The elaborate program for
his reception and entertainment was
much changed, the emperor confining
himself to visit to the German le-
cation, where he received Populations
Of Germans in Morocco. The changes
in the plans caused much comment
and disappointment. The emperor had
been expected to land about o'clock,
but he was delayed three hours. Mean
while Count Won Tattenbach-Askold,
formerly German minister to Moroc-
co, returned to the Hamburg before
the emperor landed.
1t was officially explained that the
reason for this procedure was the
roughness of the sea, but after the
departure of the Hamburg it was said
on good authority that Emperor Will
liam, having heard there was a pos
sibility of a Francophobe demonstra.
ton on the occasion of his visit, de-
sired to avoid such an incident.
Another report which, however, has
not received official confirmation, but
is generally accepted, says that the
German legation was informed that
an anarchist plot had been discovered,
and had advised that the emperor be
disuaded from landing. Count Won
Tattenbach-Askoldv visited the German
legation and talked with the Moorish
authorities, and afterward informed
his majesty that every precautiOn had
been taken, but advised that the pro.
gram be confined to visit to the lega.
ton.
Notwithstanding the shortness of
his majesty's stay in Tangier, the oc'
casion will be marked as one of the
most brilliant and picturesque in the
history of this seaport. The MoOrs
exhibited unwonted enthusiasm, and
throughout the two hours the emper.
or was on shore, no untoward incident
occurred. His majesty appeared to
enjoy his visit.
The scenes in the streets gave evil
dence of the sincerity of his welcome
The procession from the pier to the
legation was exceedingly impressing
the uniforms of the emperor and his
suite mingled picturesquely with the
native costumes and local coloring
while the music of the sultan's bant
added touch of orientalism. The
ceremonies strangely cuntrasted will
all other places visited. His majesty
was especially cordial toward the Ger
man colonists whom he assured tina
he would always maintain the right!
and interests of German subjects IL
Morocco. Before his departure TO
Gibraltar, Emperor William bestow
