Companion OF Laura Matthews shoots Him.

COLORADO SPRINGS. July 30.-Amos r.
R~umbaugh Of Washington. ID. c.. a close
friend Of Miss Laura Matthews. the Chicago
suicide, whose body was found at Ivywild
on Monday morning. blew out his brains
in his room In the Alta Vista Hotel this
afternoon.
He had been summoned TO attend the
Coroner's inquest over Miss Matthews's
body, and at 4 p. NJ. officers called to sec
why the had not been honored.
They broke into his room and found him
unconscious. He had shot himself over
the right ear with a as calibre revolver.
He died two hours after being taken 10 a
hospital. He was 30 years old and I'M
married.
He claimed to be OF a wealthy family and
to be travelling through the West. with
California as an objective. He arrived
here July -. and was not known TO any one
in the city.
On Sunday afternoon he went riding with
Miss Matthews. He said he had known
her for several years.
The theory that Mics Matthews may
have been murdered, based largely on the
fact that her temple was not powder burned,
is not entertained by the Coroner, whose
inquest, however, was stopped at Rum
baugh's death.
From the testimony OF Miss Green, Miss
Matthew's nurse. il appears that her sui-
eide was a matter Of common talk between
them, and that she had come here with the
idea of killing herself, Her body will be
shipped to Chicago.
Miss Green said to-day that the Coroner
wa keeping the lid tight on the correspon-
dence left in Miss Matthew's trunk. His
reason for this is said to be q desire Il pro-
tect a rich Chicago man, who. the nurse
animated, had knowledge OF the girls
intention to kill herself.
She declared she had been a companion
of Miss Matthews in Chicago three years
and that Charles Coey and Miss Matthews
were intimate friends for two years. She
said Miss Matthews expected Coey to marry
her and that the date was set several times
but always postponed by Coey.
Before leaving Chicago, she said. Coey
and Miss Matthews quarrelled and in their
quarrel the girl declared that she would
go West and end her life. Miss Green
swore positively that Coey knew the girls
intentions.

WILL INSTALL
SUBMARINE BtLLS
LIGHT VESSELS ON THE PACIFIC
COAST TO HAVE SUBMARINE
TELEPHONE SYSTEM.

SEATTLE, July 22.-Advices receiv-
ed in the city yesterday state that the
United States lighthouse board has
arranged with the Submarine Signal
Company to equip with submarine bells
the lightships on the Pacific coast.
Practically all the light vessels on the
Atlantic coast and The Great Lakes are
fitted with tn ese Instruments, which
have proven a great success.
The government has for long time
promised to adopt this system along
| the Pacific coast. and it is now assur-
ed. Several light vessels on the Coast
are now fitted out with the submarine
bells and those that are not will be as
soon as possible. Among the list to
be fitted with these instruments are
the Umatilla reef, off Tatoosh; Column
bia river, light ship; San Francisco,
Blunts reef, Cal, and relief light YES
sci No. &c.
The submarine telephone system has
been universally adopted by all ma
lions. Vessels fitted out with tFese
instruments can obtain their positions
when nearing a dangerous entrance or
passing near dangerous rocks or shoals
during thick or foggy weather when
} the air signals cannot be heaTG, or
/ when heard, are misleading. The YES
sells hull is fitted with a receiving in
strument on both the port and star
board sides, with wires running to the
pilot house
If the captain is in doubt during
thick weather as to which side of the
light vessel he is on, all he has to GC
is place the receivers to his ears and
I from whichever side the light vesse
is on the submarine bell will be heard
on that side
Steamship companies on the Pacific
coast have already expressed theil
willingness TO adopt the submarine
telephone system. but heretofore the!
have been unable 10 get any satisfac
ton from government officials as q
whether or not the system would b.
adopted on the Coast.

in such weak-spirited, half-hearted
fashion by the prosecuting attorney,
County Attorney j. w. Cathcart, that
the case was dismissed on the tech

noise by her presence and participation

expressly permitted the use of her said
premises for said purposes, and had
refused to put stop to the noise when
requested, all which could have been
abundantly shown, but not a single
question was asked by the prosecuting
attorney to elicit these facts.
Prosecutions conducted in such fash
ion as the above but defeat the pu1-
poses of the law, and make the adj
ministration of Justice, which should
be considered most sacred the veriest
burlesque or travesty.
| In fairness to the defendant in the
case l would say the dancing has been
conducted the last few nights with
much less noisy singing than formerly
so that we were little disturbed We
do not object to the dancing or to pro-
per singing.
