CAME FROM NEW ZEALAND.
Four Little Tots Arrived Here Mon
day from that Distant Land
Made Journey Alone.

this city on No. 6, four little New
Zealanders-Em Robert, Willie
and Charlie Harding. They came
to make their home with Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Stephens of Benning-
ton. They were accompanied by
Mr.. Stephens, who met them at
Ogden.
Upon their arrival at San Fran
cisco on Tuesday, April 9, the child
rem were al first denied permission
to come ashore by the immigration
authorities, on the ground that they
were Mormon recruits and likely to
beco me charges upon the county in
which they located. Denial of the
charge was made by Henry w. Goff,
returning missionary, who was on
board the same ship. However, they
were detained by the immigration
commissioner until he received word
from the church authorities at Salt
Lake, stating that the children were
TO be cared for by responsible parties
IN this country. The children were
then released and continued their
journey.
The mother of the children is
dead and the refusal of their step
mother to care for them was the
reason for their father sending them
here.
Their retention by the immigra-
ton commissioner attracted the at
tention of the San Francisco Exam
iner, which gave the sskids' quite a
write -ap and published their pic
lures. From the Examiners article
we publish the following:
This motherless little Emma is a
pathetic figure. She is sweet-faced,
unaffected child, gentle of speech
and manner, with a charming ac-
cent that tells of her English parent

tains likeness of the woman whose
love for her babes could not stay

Emma is trying to be mother to
her young brothers. She is brave

something tightens in the throat.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Feb. 21,-The TAX
ing of dispositions in the divorce case
of William F. Cody buffalo BID
against Mrs. Louisa Cody terminated
abruptly last evening when counsel
for the defense announced that Mrs.
Cody rested Colonel Cody said he had
no more evidence to offer at this time

a consultation with the court to agree
upon dates for the taking of derosi-
uons of Mrs. Cody and several wit
nesses for the defense. and the deposl-
tions of Colonel Cody and others in re-
buttal.
The serious illness Of Mrs. Cody S

mony taken here shall be submitted
to Mrs. Cody at once and that she be
given until February 2Sth to TESTIFY.

be nsational, will be taken before

Washington. d. c., Feb. 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt assured Mr. Campbell
OF Kansas yesterday that all the
power of his administration, If neces-
sary, would be used in the investiga-
tion into the affairs of the Standard

Gar Considering Peace.

st. Petersburg. Feb. 1s.-The Asso-
ciated Press learns on exceptional au-
thority that the question of peace was
formally considered by Emperor Mich
olas and his ministers at the confer
ence held at Tsarskoe-Selo Thursday
No particulars are obtainable, as be-
fore the discussion began the emperor
exacted from each one present sol
emn promise not to divulge the slight
est hint OF what transpired.
The belief is. however that the pos
sible conditions and terms were under
consideration.
1t is suggested in high quarters that
some intimation of terms has reached
the Russian government from Japan,
although it is certain that 1t did not
come through the regular diplomatic
channels.
Even in the midst of the excitement
caused by the assassination OF Grand
Duke Sergius there has been a notice
able and sudden revival of peace talk.

CODY DIVORCE CASE.
Buffalo Bill and His Wife Both Appear
to Poor Advantage.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 1S.-Highly
sensational charges were made at the
taking of depositions in the Cody di-
yorce case, begun here Thursday in
the District Court before Judge X. ii.
Scott.
Colonel w. F. Cody was present and
was represented ii. A. Ridgley OF
Cody, and ]. l.. Stotts of Sheridan
Mrs. Eliza Cody was not in court but
was represented by Wilcox & Halligan
of North Platte, Nebraska.
The first witness called was Mrs
John W. Boyer of North Platte MRS
Bowers husband is employed by Col
onel Cody, and for several years she
was housekeeper at the Cody ranch,
Her evidence was very positive.
Mrs. Boyer stated IN reply to ques-
tioning that Mrs. Cody treated Colonel
Cody's guests discourteously when
they called at the ranch, objected TO
1.-THE management of the housekeeper
she fed the men too much,
talked in a violent manner about Col
onel Cody and his alleged sweethearts,
was given to imbibing strong liquors,
became so drunk that she had to go
to bed, and used exceedingly strong
language.
Mrs. Boyer testified that she saw
Mrs. Cody attempt 10 poisoH Coiohoi
Cody by putting something into his
coffee, and said Nrs. Cody told her
the. substance was dragons blood. y
On cross examination Mrs. Boyer ad-
mitted that Colonel Cody drank great
deal and was frequently under the in
huence of liquor at the ranch. She
also admitted that he was intoxicated
on each occasion when Mrs Cody gave
him the drug. When asked II the drug
had not been administered by Mrs.
Cody as a medicine to sober up the
colonel, Mrs. Boyer said she did not
know. She said the colonel felt the
effects OF the drug almost Immediately
after it was administered, and he was
always a very sick man. being com
pletely helpless after taking the
dragons blood. Mrs. Boyer said that
Mrs. Cody told her that she got the
dragons blood from a gypsy and that
.'she was determined to either rule or
ruin her husban before she would let
him out from under her power"
Among other things the witness said
that Colonel Cody stated on one occa-
sion that the only way to get along
with his wife was to get drunk and
stay drunk.
Mrs. C. p. Davis of Cheyenne tes-
titled that she was a seamstress in the
Cody home in 1893; that Mrs. Cody
told her then of the colone's infidellty.
and that she cruelty whipped her
daughter Irma with horsewhip.

sTRATToN ESTATE WINS.
Court of Appeals Decides Against the
Venture Corporation.

Denver. Colo, Feb. 21.-A decision
was handed down by Judge Adams of
the Federal Court of Appeals at St.
Louis yesterday which effectually sets
at rest the litigation which has so long
been pending over the Stratton's In
dependence mine in the Cripple Creek
district. The decision was in favor of
the estate executors and against the
Venture Company of London, who
brought suit for s6,00000O damages.
The decision removes all doubt as to
the value of the property when it was
sold, and for this reason. if nothing
else, Is a source of qualification to
mine owners in the district. 1t was
claimed by the London corporation
shortly after the death of w s. STRAIT
ton that the mine had been "salted"
and that the value placed upon it was
a fictitious one. Subsequent develop
ment work, however, has brought out
ore values TO equal If not more than
cover the S6,000,0O0 paid for the mine.
Work which has already been carried
on in the property since Mr.. Strattons S
death has proven all claims made for
il, as GRE of sufficient value has been
taken out to more than equal the pur-
chase price.
The decision removes the principal
obstacles to the construction of the
Myron Stratton home. although other
litigation may cause a delay in carry
ing out this provision of the will.
The decision of Judge Adams afiirms
the decision of Judge Riner, handed
down in Denver a year ago.
The state will be enriched even
tually by the payment of 100000 in
heritance tax. which has been tied up
by litigation since the death of Mr.
Stratton. The decision will also stimu-
late the mining industry in the Grip
pie Creek district to a considerable ex-

Birmingham, Ala, Feb, 2l.-By an
explosion in the Virginia mine. about
eighteen miles southwest Of Birming'
ham, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
between 10 and 1876 union miners are
entombed, and it is believed the entire
number suffered an awful death.
Scores of vigorous rescuers are at
work digging into the mine to relieve
their friends and comrades in the
mine.

been caused by an accumulation of
dust. although the mine has hereto

from dust. 1t is also believed that as
the entire quota has probably been
killed, the details of the cause of the
disaster will never be known.
