 Bring About Reconciliation
 Between Tn .m.
IS SUEIN6 FOR DIVORCE

Cheyenne, Wyo, February 1S.-Wlth the exception of two or three witnesses yet to come the hearing of evidence for Col. William F. Cody Buffalo BID in his suit for divorce was closed today.
 Dr. D. Frank Powell (White Beaver), manager of Colonel Cody's interests in Northern Wyoming was the principal witness for the plaintiff today.
 Dr. Powell testified that he had known Cody for thirty-six years and Mrs. Cody for thirty-five years. At the time of the death of Mrs. Arta Thorpes Colonel and Mrs. Cody's daughter. last year. pr. Powell met the Cody party at Chicago and accompanied them to Rochester, N. Y. While at Rochester Colonel Cody requested Dr. Powell to see Mrs Couy and to try to effect reconciliation. With this object in view witness called on Mrs. Cody. After he had explained his err rand Mrs. Cody exclaimed angrily: - don't want nothing to do with any one from Colonel Cody. l will bring those Cody's down so low that even the dogs won't bark at them. And furthermore, will this day denounce him at the grave of his own daughter"
 Colonel Cody appeared crushed at the failure of the negotiations as he apar- ently was sincere in desiring a reconctlia- tion, said the witness.
 On cross-examlnation Dr. Powell ad- mitted that Cody had telegraphed to Mrs. Cody at Denver when the news of Mrs. Thorpes 8 death had reached him, asking for a temporary truce during the funeral, and that Mrs. Cody had wired back that only permanent reconciliation would be agreed to by her.
 This telegram was not answered by Col onel Cody.
 For the defense Maj. Lesler Walker, ex-mayor of North Platte, N. B.. and an intimate friend of Colonelsand Mrs. Cody for almost 40 years, was called. He de- clared he had never observed Mrs. Cody show the slightest act of discourtesy to- ward her husband or her husband s guests.
 In refutation of the testimony on be- half of the plaintiff that Colonel Cody sought a reconciliation, but that Mrs Cody refused to accede to this, it was brought out by Major Walker that he saw Mrs. Cody just after she received the news of the death of her daughter, and Mrs. Cody said to him
 'T am in hopes the death of our darling will be the cause of bringing about reconciliation between myself and the Col onel"
 At the afternoon session fifteen letters from Colonel Cody 10 his wife were read These letters were written in 1900 and 1901. at a time when it was sated strained relations existed between the couple. The letters were overfiowing with affection and esteem, and showed that at that time Colonel Cody had the greatest respect for his wife's business ability.

 WREATHED IN SMILES
Women Claim He Is the Man to Whom
 Some of Them Were r Married.

Chicago, February 1S.-Johann Hoch has a double in Frank Busch. Today at a nolice station where Hoch once received women whom he had married. Busch who also is a prisoner, looked the part of Hoch in every respect and talked with the German accent as does Hoch. In fact Busch looks so much like the man who has confessed to marrying eleven women that victims whom Busch. it Is alleged, has robbed and who had identi- fled Hoch as the swindler. admitted they had made a mistake in identifying Hoch and nicked out Busch as the right man.
 Busch. like Hoch, was not moved by the identification. He would smile, like Hoch. and at times utter witty expres- sions. Busch, it is alleged, preyed on wo- men. but did not bar the men.

BOTH THE WOMEN CLAIM HUSBAND Ons of Them Did Not Know She Mas Divorced BOTH WIVES HAVE CHILDREN Scene at the Funeral of g. L. Bartlett Was Avoided Only By the DipIo-
 macy of the At
 torneys.

Cincinnati. O.. February 1S.-The cli- max of the supposed double marriage of Samuel Lawrence Bartlett, the fa- nous electric inventor. whose dead body was found in Dayton boarding house early in the week, came today when the attorney for the second wife showed certified copy of the decree divorcing the first wife. who until today believed herself still married to Bartlett
 This is a certified copy of the decree of divorce granted to Georgia Bartlett against Samuel Lawrence Bartlett by the supreme court In New York, on the third day of March, 1sss" said Judge Miller.
 "1f there is such a decree," said At- torney William l.. Dickson represent ing Georgia Bartlett. "she has never heard of it, and I am sincere in the belief that all these years she has be- lieved herself an undivorced wife. I can say no more"
 The two women reached hore today and immediately consulted attorneys seeking to procure from the estate what, ever may be due for the children of the late inventor.
 Thought Herself Lawful Widow
 Mrs. Georgia Bartlett. the first wife 1 of the deceased. supposed herself the law ful widow, and that other claimants were merely illegal. Mrs. Mammie Bartlett was armed with two marriage licenses as recording her union to Bartlett and cer- tihed decree of divorce granted to the other WpmaH@.A,ith both claimants in the attorneys office. the solution was easily reached, although not untii both wives mad made statements so exactly contrary to each other that even the lawyers were nonplussed at first. The mistake in the status of each hinges upon the ignor- ance of Mrs. Georgia Bartlett of court procedure.
 Georgia Bartlett states that having sued for divorce. although she gave testimony. she n1istook the master commissioner ap- pointed for that purpose to be her law yer, and her husband never appeared aa she supposed he would be compelled to do, and she thought the proceedings were entirely abandoned. She afterwards lived again with Bartlett and bore him child. believing herself his lawful wife
 Scene Is Avoided.

II was Hagerman' game.
Vandine took hand in some OF that
quick work yesterday. He grabbed
a hot one from Bali and caught Gill on
the base line between second and third
and caught the runner at first.
Gill spoiled one for Wanner that
looked like a hit. Sweeney. who was
on first, thought it was good and was
on his way to third base when the
fielder got the best of him by doubling
it to first.
The grand stand differed with Gu
