IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
JOHN IT, BRADNECK APPLIES FOR DIVORCE.

Want Bar ExaminatiOns-Sues for Slan-
 der-Card system Now in Vogue at
 Police Headquarters-News from the
 City Court.
 The application, in the superior court, off John H. Bradneck, of 291 Ferry street for a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Mary c. Bradneck, recalls a similar action which was fought out in the courts nine years ago. At that time MT. and Mrs. Bradneck battled with each other in five courts, she having suit for non support and he having one for divorce. When it began to look as if the court business was going to be a permanent thing the couple made up and lived together until the i, action of the husband taken day or two ago.
 In the writ he charges his wife with statutory offense. For some time past MT. Bradneck has been engaged in the pipe-bending business at Thomp- sonvilIe, Mass, and has been at his home here over Sundays only. The couple were married about fifteen years ago.

ROGERS HAS -FOUR REASONS
why H. H. Rogers, the Standard Oil
Magnate, Refuses to Answer
Hadley's Questions.

New York, Jan. 13.-H. H. Rogers
bases his refusal to answer Attorney.
General Hadley's questions upon the
following four allegations:
That the questions Acknowledgement
Hadley asks Mr.. Rogers to answer are
immaterial
That decision upon the right of the
attorney general to ask similar ques-
lions is pending in Missouri.
That in advance of the rendering Of
such decision in Missouri the attor.
ney general has no right to take depo-
sitions in this state.
That the manner in which the New
York, St. Louis and Kansas City news
papers have reported the proceedings
establishes that the attorney general ia
looking for newspaper notoriety, and is
attacking the Standard Oil Co. Of In

EIGHT LIVES WERE LOST
Terrible Results of What Proved an
InSignificant Fire In the West
Hotel, Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 11.-Eight
persons are dead from suffocation or
from leaping from windows and score
of people were more or less injured as
the result of fire in the West hotel
early Wednesday morning.
The fire, which is supposed in have
been caused by crossed electric wires
was in itself insignificant, being con-
fined to the elevator shaft and the top
floor in the corner of the building, but
ths wild excitement which followed the
first alarm hurried people into halls
and out upon window lodges in frantic
effort to save themselves.
There was really no help for several
who lost their lives. The wood in the
elevator shaft burned like finder, and
a sheet of fame 20 feet wide mounting
to the seventh story frightened the
guests ont of their senses.
At the moment the department got
the blaze under way and the smoke
cleared, hurried search from cellar to
garnet of the big property showed a
score Of victims more or less overcome
by smoke.
The fire loss will not go over 100000.
