Buffalo Bill Divorce Case.

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
and the attorneys at once went into
a consultation with the court to agree
upon dates for the taking of deposit
tions of Mrs. Cody and several wit
riesses for the defense. and the deposit
tions of Colonel Cody and others in re-
buttal.
The serious illness of Mrs. Cody's
father prevented Mrs. Cody from ap-
pearing here. and as Buffalo Bill must
be in Paris the third week in March.
it was finally arranged that the testf-
mopy taken here shall be submitted
to Mrs. Cody at once and that she be
given until February 2Sth to testify.
Her deposition, which probably will
be sensational. will be taken before a
justice in North Platte on that date,
and Colonel Cody will be given until
March 9Th to file his rebuttal deposit
tion.

STRIKE Of STUDENTS
LEAVE RUSSIAN UNIVERSITIES
St Petersburg Students Suspend Stud.
les and Pass Resolutions.
Demanding Reform.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-With the
resolution of the student body OF the
great university of St. Petersburg to
suspend studies for the remainder of
the university year, almost the entire
educational system of Russia has en-
tered on period of stagnation the
protest of the youth of Russia against
the bureaucratic system and other
governmental grievances.
Other universities of Russia and
even grammar schools were already
on strike and the military in various
portions of the empire have been
obliged to resort to force to restrain
school boys of tender years who are
joining the movement.
The meeting OF St. Petersburg stu
dents, at which over 5000 participated,
besides voting with practical unanim-
ity to suspend studies until September
list, adopted set of political resolu-
tions demanding the formation of a
constituent assembly and characteriz-
ing the proposed summoning of the
zemsky sobor as inadequate for the
emergency.
The resolutions, after speaking of
''the progressive Generalization of
Russia under the influence of the alb
speech, the press, conscience, the right
of association and assembly and to
strike, which are described as neces-
sary conditions for the further prog
ress OF Russia.
The meeting also unanimously de-
cided to express disapproval of the
governments action in dealing with
the workmen who attempted to pre-
sent their petition to the Emperor jan
uary 22d, and its sympathy with the
victims of the soldiers.
A large faction voted in favor of
stopping the war.
A strong revolutionary feeling was
manifested, the red flag was waved
and the "Marseillaise" and other rev.
olutionary songs were chanted.
A large portrait of the Emperor in
the great auditorium OF the university
where the meeting was held was torn
in strips. The police did not inter-
fere.
Strong forces of police and Cossacks
had been posted outside the buildings
to prevent an expected street demon
stration, but none occurred.

Large Profits to Lessees.

A fabulous find of ore has been
opened by John Sharpe in the first
level, at the length of 400 feet. on the
Cripple Creek Consolidated on
Gold hill. says the Denver News
correspondent. The new find is a fiat
vein, the extent of which has not been
determined. The rock being broken
now vii. ship from twelve up to fifteen
ounces of gold TO the ton, making 1t
worth from s240 10 $500 per ton in car
load lots. The ore is found in an en-
tirely new vein, never having been cut
before in the property. This additional
ore adds considerably to the already
large ore reserves. Last year Mr..
Sharpe paid the Cripple Creek Consol-
idated Company over $4,000 in royal
ties and the showing in the mine now
Is much better than ever before. From
the strike of the vein the lessee Will
have between 400 and 500 feet of 1t on
his ground. Development Is being
pushed to determine the extent of the
new ore body.
The operations of the lessees In
camp are now greater than ever be-
fore, more Of them are making big
money. Their profits go through the
various channels of business and right
now a considerable part of the profit
is finding its way into the stock mar
ket, especially into the companies from
which they are making their good prof
It's. The. statement can easily be veri-
fed that the monthly profits Of lessees
is in the neighborhood OF 100000.

course beat them all. for they are
cleaning up $4,000 every thirty days.

cause of the fact thet the Independ-

John w. Price, leasing on part Of

aging vein from which assays are OBJ
tained that run from $22 up to SIT to

pushed and 1t is expected that ship
