BUFFALO BILL LOSES
COURT DENIES HIM a DIVORCE.
Decision Is Complete Victory for
Mrs. cody-Judge Says Cruelty
Was All on the Part Of the Colonel.

Sheridan. Wyo., March 24.-Col. w
F. Cody failed to secure divorce from
Mrs. Louisa f. Cody in the District
Court yesterday Judge II. r. Scott OF
Cheyenne deciding against the noted
frontiersman on each cause of action.
The court varied from the usual Gus
tom Of not giving an opinion in a
divorce case and reviewed the evil
dence at some length. This review is
a vindication Of the defendant in every
respect.
1t was not supposed that the deci-
sion would be announced yesterday,
but counsel in the case agreed to dis
pense with arguments, and after the
last deposition was read short recess
was taken. Then Judge Scott an
nounced his decision.
After outlining the divorce laws OF
Wyoming and stating that they do not
make incompatibility a ground for di-
yorce. Judge Scott asked the attorneys
for the defendant to strike out sec
tions of the answer containing charges
against Miss Bessie Isbell and allega-
lions regarding the plaintiffs conduct
at Chicago on one occasion and his
alleged excesses at Fort Mcpherson,
Kansas, on another.
RAISING 10 Il CONSIDERATION Vi tnS
poisoning charge made by Colonel
Cody, Judge Scott said that there was
no evidence to support it and that q
charge SC serious ought not to have
been made without being well sup
ported. He said that It was clear that
Mrs. Cody simply tried to relieve the
plaintiff from the effects of intoxica-
tion and make him presentable at a
banquet at which he was soon to be
guest, and that his sickness later was
due to his own excesses.
Judge Scott held that there was
nothing to show that Mrs. Cody ever
mistreated the plaintiff or his guests
at the Cody home; that she never re-
fused to sign papers with him to, ham
per him in a business way; that her
conduct at the funeral Of their
daughter, Arta, was not inhuman, and
that she was ready at all times to be
reconciled and would have welcomed
reconciliation. The court charac-
terizod her conduct as that of de-
voted wife and mother
While admitting that several
charges made against Colonel Cody
had not been submitted. Judge Scott
said the plaintiff had been cruel to the
defendant and had heaped indignities
upon her.
Attorneys for the plaintiff excepted
and gave notice of motion for a re-
hearing. II this is denied, they say
the case will be taken to the Supreme
Court.

DENVER MAN MURDERED.
Claude v. Logan Killed in GoIdfieId
Nevada, Mining District.

Denver March 24.-Claude " Logan,
a son of A. r. Logan of Denver, was
mysteriously murdered at Ida. Ne
vada, Tuesday night. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Logan was murdered in cold
that he might not appear as a witness
against certain parties accused of
shooting citizen of Ida. A posse is
now securing the country in the vicin-
ity of Goldfield for the murderers, and
it is probable they will be lynched If
caught.
Logan had been in Ida two months
and half, and with man named Fox,
Howard Ish and Clyde Turnbull. law
yer in G. j. Hughes Office, started
mining company in the camp, locating
several valuable properties. His father,
printer now with j. B. Stott and for
many years employed by the Times,
received telegram from w. c. Ross,
a, justice of the peace in Goldfield, Ne
vada, announcing the death of Claude
the evening before at Ida. No details
were given as to the murderers or the
cause of the shooting.
Young Logan was a witness of
shooting ARRAY not long ago, and it
may be that this is the secret of the
murder.
Joseph Usher, a partner of Logan's
In some Ida real estate, and an Indian
named Simpson, are believed to have
been connected with the crime. Usher
was the man shot at in the first scrape,
while Simpson has had a bad reputa-
ton in the camp since first coming
there.
Usher, Simpson and Logan were
playing cards in the Indians tent and
during the progress of the game Usher
succeeded in arousing Losan's anger.
Then, leaving the tent, it is believed he
paid the Indian to shoot Logan while
the latter was helpless. The program
was carried out and the two men made
their escape before Logan's body was
discovered in the morning. Such is
the theory of the shooting entertained
by Logan's father.

SHELTER STRIKE OFF.
Denver smeltermen Meet and Vote to
Call Off Strike.

Denver, March 25.-After twenty-one
months the mill and smeltermen's
strike for an eight-hour day at the
Globe and Grant smelters has been de-
clared off. The strike resulted in the
closing of the Grant smelter, but the
Globe smelter resumed work shortly
after the strike began and has been
operating steadily ever since.
One hundred and fifty union mill
and smeltermen of Globeville met in
Malich's hall last night and, after lis
tening to speeches.. decided without
one dissenting vote to take advantage
of the eight-hour day bill recently
passed by the Legislature and return
to work when permitted to do so.
Among the labor leaders of Denver
who attended the meeting and made
addresses were President Charles H.
Meyer of the Western Federation of
Miners and Secretary William d. Hay
wood.
The resolutions calling off the strike
read:
Whereas, on July 8. 1903, Denver
Shelter Union No. 80. Western Feler-
alton of Miners, inaugurated the strike
for the purpose of getting an eight-hour
shift for the smeltermen of Denver.
Colorado. This strike was waged CON
tlnuously ever since, and during that
time less than two per cent of our
members have proved traitors TO the
cause by having returned to work; and
Whereas, the Fifteenth General AS
sembly, the majority of which are CON
troiled by the corporations, passed an
eight-hour bill which has been signed
by the governor. While this bill does
not include all smeltermen we believe
that when it becomes a law it will give
an eight-hour day to large percentage.
as practically all smeltermen come
In contact with noxious gases.
We believe that public opinion hav-
ing forced the Legislature, which is
controlled by corporations, to pass an
elght-hour bill, we have won our strike
IN grand victory for organized labor:
therefore be it
Resolved, that the strike be now de.
clared off; that we accept the condi.
tions under the eight-hour bin passe,

AGAINST DEM0c RATS
DENVER COUNTY OFFICIAL SUIT
Judge Malone Decides in Favor Of Re-
publican Claimants. Charter
Conflicts with Constitution.

Denver, March 25.-Judge Booth NJ
Malone in the District Court yesterday
overruled the demurrer of the Demo
cratic claimants in the quo warrantc
proceeding of Albion X. Vickery, Re
publican, against Robert j. Byrne
Democrat in the fight over the office
of county recorder, and also in the
case of Robert p. Rollins, Republican
against William p. Koran, Democrat
in the fight over the office of county
coroner.
This action by Judge Malone car.
ries with II the ruling that the cleo
ton for county officers last May was
Illegal and declares unconstitutional
the provision in the Denver charter
relating to the election of county Off
GERS.
These are the first victories the Re
publicans have won in the quo war
ranto proceedings. Presiding Judge
John |. Mullins several weeks ago de-
cided in favor of Elder in the case of
Charles w. Badgeley, Republican
against Charles s. Elder, Democrat,
in which the office of county trea-
surer is involved Judge Samuel Car
penter has one of the cases under CON
sideration.
e. F. Richardson, representing Mr..
Byrne, Immediately asked for ten
days in which to answer or stand by
the decision and let the case go up
to the Supreme Court. John II. Red
din. representing Mr.. Koran, made the
same request.
II. J. Hersey, representing the Re
publicans, protested, saying that he
thought five days would be enough
time in which for the attorneys for
the Democrats to decide their line of
action; and cited the fact that in the
Badgley-Elder case the Republicans
had Immediately appealed to the Su-
preme Court. Judge Malone, how
ever. acquiesced to the request OF
Messrs. Richardson and Reddin.

SIBERIA THREATENE
RUSSIAN TERRITORY IN DANGER
Lineviteh May Be Driven Beyond Har-
bin.-Japanese May Cut Railroad
and Isolate vIadivostok.

st. Petersburg, March 24.-The pos
.sibility that If the Russian army should
be unable to hold the lower line of the
Sungari river at Chuuchiatsu it may
be compelled to retreat not only to
Hardin but also further westward
along the railroad, abandoning to the
Japanese northern Manchuria and the
Russian maritime Amur provinces as
well, is the latest startling news from
the front
The strategic weakness of General
Linevitch's position as he falls back
northward is made clear by Gunshu
dispatch to the Associated Press. in
which it is pointed out that unless
Cminchiatsu and the Sungari lines, a
scant 100 miles below Hardin. can be
held, it will be difficult to maintain a
position farther back before Hardin,
where. with the front of the army par
alleling the railroad, the practicability
of turning movement to completely
sever communications, and isolate the
army 5000 miles from home, is too Sc
rious for Russian consideration.
The correspondent estimates the
number of reinforcements needed to
give General Linevitch the requisite SUI
periority in force at 100000.
That such a dispatch should have
been permitted to pass the censor at
the front is significant. and If General
Linevitch has communicated similar
estimate of the situation direct to EN-
peror Nicholas it may account for his
majesty's increased disposition to lis
ten to peace counsels and open nego-
tiations before the Japanese establish
themselves on Russian soil
With Manchuria entirely abandoned
to the Japanese, and Vladivostok left
as Russia's solitary sentinel on the Pa
cific. it is realized that Russia will be
practically at Japan's mercy in the
matter of peace terms.
1t can now be definitely stated that
the decision not to appoint Grand Duke
Nicholas Nikalaievitch to the supreme
command in the Far East was rem
dered because the outlook at the front
does not warrant the risk of compro-
missing the prestige of a member of
the imperial family.
Russian reinforcements are arriving
at Hardin at the rate of 1000 men per
day. Nevertheless, 1t is significant that
there is now a well marked peace
party at the winter palace.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY

Remarkable Case of Disputed Identity
Ends in Denver Court-verdict of

MOI 6uftty.
Denver. March 25.-The trial of
Charles P. wynne for the murder of
Policeman Clifford came to an end I'M
expectedly yesterday afternoon at 4.S0
o'clock Assistant District Attorney
Greeley whitford at that hour entered
a nolle prosequi in the case, insisting
that Wynne be held on the charge of
numbering Policeman Griffith u1fi,
Monday morning. No effort will be
made to convict him of this murder
and he is held simply to await reauisi-

Tertiary at Jeffsrsonville, Indiana.
where Wynne violated a parole and
where he has yet thirteen years to
serve on a charge of horse stealing.
In a statemencto the court Attorney
Whitford asserted that Chief of Police
Delaney and the prosecution in the
case had been made the victims of
their own witnesses and that these
witnesses who were SO positive in their
identification before they were placed
on the stand had, under oath, claimed
that they believed, but were not sure
that Wynne was Llewellyn, the muir
derer. Attorney Whitford stated that
he did not want to go before jury
and ask the conviction of man on a
murder charge on evidence such as
had been offered in the case. He
would not consent to an acquittal.
however, and insisted on a nolle being
entered and the jury dismissed.
That Wynne is not Llewellyn has
been established by the trial of the
case. However, the fact that he bears
so striking a resemblance to the muir
derer that positive. but mistaken iden-
tification have been made. has also
been established. That Wynne is en-
titled to little of the sympathy tina.
has been his during the trial is boz
lieved by criminologists. He is a de-
serter. a gun fighter and horsethief.
He admits all of this and admits also
that he has Travelled under so many
aliases that he has forgotten half of
them. He has a sentence of nearly
thirteen years hanging over him for
his crimes and it is not intended by
Chief of Police Delaney or the district
attorneys office that he shall escape
the punishment already melted out to
him. This accounts Tor the action of
the prosecuting attorney in insisting
that he be held.
The defense opened at II O'Clock.
several witnesses testifying that the
prisoner was not Llewellyn.
Following recess. other witnesses
were called rapidly, all agreeing that
the prisoner was not Llewellyn.
Dewitt G. Weber testified to obtain
ing from the War Department at Wash
ington personal descriptions of both
Wynne and Llewellyn. That of the
prisoner did not tally in any way with
the description of Llewellyn, he said.
Then it was that Prosecutor Whit
ford, seeing that he was playing for a
lost cause, made his motion to nolle
the case.
Attorney Benson insisted that the
case go to the jury, with instructions
that they return verdict of not
guilty.
Judge Johnson considered the mat
ter for a few minutes, and decided
that the entry of dismissal was equal
to an acquittal He then took the
