other mines IN the camp and the or
ganization Of large holding company"
said Mr.. Bamberger, ''but there Isn't

good thing for Park city and the state,
and while have been working with
view OF bringing this about and have
had negotiations with the ontario peo-
pie, but nothing definite has been
complished | don't know that there
ever will be-"
From another source, however, the
story comes that the outlook Is very
favorabl0 for deal being consummat-
ed. II Is said ontario shareholders can
see nothing ahead but n series OF as
sessments and at present there Is no
telling when the drain tunnel VIII be

light on the pending negotiations for

which combination the Fortuna Is said

HARTJE DIVORCE CASE.
Saws Helen Scott Was Go Between"
for a Coachman.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 31.-The attor-
neys for Augustus Hartje, who is seek
ing divorce from his wife, Mrs.
Mary Scott Hartje, somewhat unex-
pectedly closed their case today. All
evidence in sunport Of Hartje's petit
ton is now in. Attorneys for Mrs.
Hartje asked for and obtained an ad-
iournment until tomorrow morning to
prepare their plans for presenting evi-
dence in rebuttal. Augustus Hartje
on the stand denied the charges made
by Nadine regarding the blonde wo-
man episode. and that he had offered
Nadine money to testify that the man
was at the Hartje home alone with
Mrs. Hartje, while Hartje was away
Hartje admitted owning a house at
which he was said to have visited Jo-
sephine Wright. He swore that he did
not know the woman and did not know
the character of the house until il
came out at the trial.
The much disputed Helen Scott let
ters were today admitted as evidence
Lengthy and heated arguments pre-
ceded their admission, which is re.
garded as signal victory for the Ii
belant. These are the letters purport-
ing to be from Telen Scott to her sis.
ter, Mrs. Hartie, which the counsel for
the libelant assert prove that Helen
was a go-between for "Tom" Nadine
one of the coachman correspondents
and Mrs. Hartje.
Marcus W. Acheson. Jr, of the
counsel for Mrs. Hartie. today posi-
lively denied the story to the effect
that Augustus Hartie had tried to set
tie ihs marital difficulties with Mrs
Hartje by an offer of $150,OOO. and
that the woman asked for $4,000

Bloody Russian Battle.

st. Petersburg, July 31.-As antici-
pated July 30, the triangular truce
between Armenians, Tartars and the
Russian troops before Shusha.was Of
the briefest nature.
The display of the white flag and
the naming of representatives OF The
warning factions to arrange au last
ing peace was but apredludevbgkq
ing peace was a prelude to the resum-
ton of hostilities yesterday upon a
larger and bloodier scale
The fighting is now in full progress
at Shusha itself, town of 10000
perosns $50 miles to the southeast Of
Tihis, the Tartar quarter of which
apparently is in flames, but it has
spread to the surrounding country.
There the Tartar population has risen
and is striving to overcome the Ar
menians and the Russian troops.
General Zoloschavkov, in command
of the Russian forces, has appealed
urgently for reinforcements. A bat
talon of rihemen at the nearest point
where there are soldiers, has been
dispatched to the scene.
It is worthy of note that the Rus
SLAMS who in the disorders of last
year were accused Of protecting the
Tartars from Armenian attack are
now themselves pressed hard by the
Mohommedan hordes.

ST. Petersburg, July 3l.-No re-
port of the suspension of the great re-
volt of the garrison at Sverborg fort
ress, the Gibralter Of the North ''has
been received in st. Petersburg up to
this hour. A secondary uprising
among the marines and troops sta
toned at Skatudden barracks, on
the peninsula communicating with the
mainland was crushed out at late
hour yesterday afternoon by the loyal
troops, after heavy fighting in which
nine cruisers, destroyers and torpedo
boats participated.
1t was annuonced at Helsingfors
that the mutinous artillerymen and
sappers are still holding their posi-
tions. Outlying islands and fortress
appear to be in their possession and
they have practically all of the ma
chine guns, quick frers and moveable
artillery of the fortress.
A general strike was declared in
Helsingfors by socialist workmen to-
day. All factories have been closed.
An Associated Press correspondent
says that the "Red Guard" armed
socialist legion was contemplating an
armed uprising to attempt the lease
of prisoners captured at Skatudden
barracks.

$4,000 Damages.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 3l.--A 100000
breach of promise suit was fled in the
circuit court yesterday afternoon by
Bernhardina Mangels against Henry
Mangels. The Plaintiffs attorney,

ant in the suit.
The plaintiff states in her petition
that Mangels asked her to marry him
about July |, 1904, and that she con-
sented. She has ever since been ready
to perform her part of the agreement,
but she alleges Mangels married a
woman whose first name is Bertha,
and whose last name is unknown to
the plaintiff, about February l, 1905.
The petition was hurried to the
sheriff's Office and deputy was sent
at once with Attorney Braden, who

II was the half after ten O'Clock
when the doors were thrown open to
the spacious dining hall of the AL
media, and the banqnetters ushered to
their seats. A delay in the prepara-
tions connected with the laying Of
the tables, was responsible for the
lateness of the hour. But few mo-
ments elapsed before Toastmaster
Freeman, than whom there is no bet
ter, arose and gave the toast, "The

ernor Frantz for the response. The
governors speech was lengthy and
thorough, full Of sound doctrine and

HOIST HIS OWN PETARD.
Helped Organize Combine and Was
First Froze Out.

Kansas City, July 3l.-N. H. Trask,
a witness in the ice hearing which was
resumed here today, testified that he
helped to organize the first ice com
hine here. and had been the first man
squeezed out by the alleged trust. In
company with four others he was in
the ice business on an extensive scale.
They had no plant, and bought manu-
factured ice. To maintain prices and
reduce competition. the witness said,
he and four dealers planned combin-
alton for the delivery Of lee. explained
his plan and secured their promise of
cooperation. The company was Or
ganized according to his plan. the wit
ness said. but he was not allowed to
participate as a stock holder. although
he was given a job as wagon boss. The
witness said that this transpired in
1898. r'4f
The purroge Of the combine, the
witness said, was to keep competition
from reducing ice prices when they
had been established. We had taken
an active part in getting all Of the
ice men into an agreement. and was
then "partly squeezed out and partly
bought out.'
