Quarrel COMES
AS FATHER DIES
c. B. Steunenberg and District
Attorney Ruick Have Hot
Words in Boise.
Especial to The Heraldl

Il.
BOISE. March 9.-TheTe was a badly
strained situation in the office of District
Attorney Ruick about noon today The
district attorney had subpoenaed John
Steunenberg, brother Of the late govern
or and administrator of his estate to
bring all the private papers of the latter
before the United States grand jury
Steunenberg's father was dying at the
time and did die an hour or so later. so
John SteunenberG telephoned to his
brother, c. Is. Steunenberg. to get per-
Boise. c. b. Steunenberg went to Ruick
about it and the latter, minated that the
story of sickness was a fake. After some
words. Ruick made the charge directly
that the Steunenbergs were endeavoring
TO deceive him. That led to hot words
and finally Ruick ordered Steunenberg
out of the office. As he left, Steunenberg
paid his respects to the officer in forcible
style and suggested that RuiCk dare not
follow him out.
Ex-Governor SchOfield of Wisconsin and
his son were before the grand jury today
Somebody had told the district attorney
that when the SchOfields were here sew
eral years ago Frank Steuneuberg had
gone to them and offered to get cruisers
to take up timber for them. They told
the jury that no such suggestion had ever
been made by the former governor
During the examination Of William
Sweet the district attorney went at great
length into the details of settlement be-
timber deal The former governor was
the promoter of the Barber Lumber COM
pany and induced the Wisconsin men to
purchase the timber on which Sweet had
secured an option. That was the nucleus
of the company's holdings.

CAN MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS
Range Fences Must Come Down Re
gardless of Consequences,
Saws Garfield.

Washington, March 29.-in response
to a telegram from Governor Brooks of
Wyoming, Secretary Garfield states
that he cannot make any departure
from the order requiring that fences
on the public lands be removed. Gov
ernor Brooks telegram was addressed
to the secretary of agriculture, and Is
as follows:
Owing to the extent Of cattle range
in Laramie, Albany and Converse coun-
ties, Wyoming. il would be very dam
gerous to have all the fences removed
that President Roosevelt has ordered
down. as cattle would be at large and
spread disease everywhere. A few
months time should be given these cat
tlemcn to dip infected herds before the
fence order is enforced
The communication was referred by
Secretary Wilson to Secretary Garfield
and toe latter replied:
congress did not amend the fenc-
ing law as suggested by the depart
ment. ! cannot make exception regard
ing special fences. The facts to which
You refer were fully known last win
ter to the cattle and sheep interests af-
fected. and ample notice was given OF
the result if no legislation were en-
acted. No action other than the en-
forcement of the law can now be
taken by the government"

OASHES WILDLY
OUT OF ROOM
Accused Murderer Causes Sen
Sation During His Trial
at Chicago.

Chicago. March 9.-Leonard Leopold,
co-defendant with Howard Nicholas on
the charge of numbering Mrs. Margaret
Leslie. the actress. today testified in his
own defense. He denied all knowledge of
the murder and left it to Nicholas to eX-
plain the possession of the diamonds OWN
ed by Mrs Leslie. which will be recOv-
cred as the result of the confession of
Nicholas.
He declared that he had not offered
any diamonds for sale after the death of
the woman. as stated by Nicholas. and
said that all the diamonds he had in his
possession were sold to him by Nicholas.
He was positive that the diamonds had
been sold to him by Nicholas several days
prior to the death of Mrs. Leslie.
Leopold. when asked if he killed Mrs.
Leslie. replied: 81 did not"
Did you ever see her?''
At this Leopold suddenly sprang from
his seat i'm the witness chair and dashed
from the room. Bailiffs. lawyers and
spectators rushed after him. He had
gone but a short distance in the hall
when he tainted. Ii is not believed that
the rush from the room was an attempt to
escape, but was due to a nervous col
lapse, following the strain to which he
had been subjected.
Nicholas, the second man charged with
the crime, took the stand during the aft
ernOon. He told his story of it. denying
that he killed the actress. and claiming
the confession was extorted from him by
the police.
