MRS. THOMPSON AND
MARK KING ACQUITTED

Mark King and Mrs. Thompson we're
late yesterday evening acquitted in
Commissioner Farfer's court Of the
charge Of killing Joe L. Thompson.
The commissioner considered the evi-
dence insufficient to hold the accused
for the action Of the grand jury and
they we're discharged. From the evi-
dence submitted IL was pretty thor
oughly established that Mr. Thompson
came to his death from natural causes,
thus exploding the theory that foul
murder had beer committed. For the
sake Of the people involved and the
fair name Of the community where
they reside. The Chieftain is glad that
no suspicion or crime committed re-

Barnstable. Mass. Aug. 31.-Nearly 5000 persons at the Barnstable coun' ty fair saw "Professor" Maloney, q halloonist drop 1000 feet to earth, striking on top of a cedar fance posi- and escaped with his life. MaloneJ made his ascent late Thursday after noon. and as the visitors at the fail grounds gazed upward they saw that his attempts to cut his parachute wat fruitless. A sharp easterly wind had blown the rope which connects with the knife amongst mass of cords higher up and out of reach of the bal loonist.
 For fully two miles Malony floated along. The gas rapidly leaking from the big bag above him, and he pre-. pared for the long drop. Maloney and the balloon came earthward rapidly. As it neared the earth, the canvas fell about the body of the aeronaut and prevented him from seeing where he was falling.

ACCESSORY ARRESTED.
More Light Thrown on the Assassina-
 ton of City Editor Scott.

Helena, Aug. S0.-One more step in the bringing to justice oi the murderer of City Editor J. M. Scott was taken when Sheriff Kitchens swore out warrant against Wash Amps, negro, and proprietor of the Riverside hotel, charging him with being an ac- cessory to the assassination on August 4.
 Wash Amps and his wife have all along been suspected of com plic.ty in the crime, knowing the murderer or murderers, but the officers have sc far failed to gain anything, though twice Amps has been in jail and subjected 10 close sweating. Since their last release the Amps woman has talked somwhat freely and the officers have gained enough evi- dence 10 justify further holding and to demand the trial of Amps as accessory to the crime. The evidence gained is in part as follows:
 Ga the night of the assassina- ton negro woman and compan- ion had a room in the Riverside hotel under the window Of which room Scott was found, and from which he Is supposed to have been shot. Amps wife testified that she was ordered by Wash Amps, her husband, about 10:04 O clock or little later, on the, night of the murder, to move the two negroes in the above men, tioned room, as 1t was wanted by some white meu. That she did as was ordered and that she heard one of the men say: "Here is dollar for the room; we won't need 1t long" As to whom the men are who occupied the room, and their further action, informa ton cannot be obtained before the trial
