supported by dispositions of other wit

to ascertain II he was intending to
marry again soon, and was attempting
to secure q divorce for that purpose.

DR.. ALLEN May NOT

CHANGE OF VENUE.

It is not improbable that Dr.. w. A.
Allen will not have his second trial in

a change Of venue In the district court
yesterday. Judge Fox has taken the

clare that further confinement would

After satisfying the judgment

himself from the hospital for any Pc
Rod Of time the sheriff may return
him to the county jail, where he must
stay until his term expires. Judge
Fox also specifies that Ross must pay
all Of his own expenses while confined

The certificates Of several physt

order. They set forth that Ross is

BURIED ON BANKS or YELLOW.
STONE BY CORONER.
FLESH R011ED AWAY
A Few Trinkets In the Pockets Give
No Hint as to the Mans Identity
Washed Up by Hish Water Many
MSnths Ago-coroner Investigates.

Still unidentified, the skeleton OF
the dead man found near Waco vas
buried yesterday afternoon near the
banks Of the Yellowstone, with a sim
pie %headboard on which was the date
of the finding Of the body and that Of
burial, nothing more.
Coroner Smith, who returned to
Billings on No. 8 last night, found
nothing which would show the mans
identity. The body lay buried face
downward in the sand and had appar-
emily lain there for months. doubtless
since the high water last June.
There was nothing left but the bones
bits Of decayed flesh and enough tat
tiers Of clothing to show that the man
had worn a pair Of striped trousers,
fancy vest, soft shirt, knit necktie
and No. 10 shoes.
Stuff In Pockets.
In one of the pockets there was
found a cheap match safe, a heavy
nickel watch chain, three scent
pieces rusted together, a big jack
knife with a wooden handle and a
blade covered with rust, and a Peter
sons patent pipe cleaner. The latter
was rusted as badly as the other
metal about the mans person.
A trapper. who lives not far from
the place the body was found remem-
bers that he has passed the little
hummock made by the mans body
hundreds OF times, but never noticed
1t until just before the coroner was
informed OF the case. He says he has
picked berries near it and seen the
coyotes Sinking about the corpse for
months.
There seems to be some dispute be.
tween the trapper and Miss Epsinger,
as to who discovered the body, but II
is certain that Miss Epsinger first
brought the news to Billings.

ICE HOUSE OF HOTEL TWICE
ATTIRE THIS WEEK.
.INCENDIARlsM LIKELY
First Blaze Started Sunday Morning,
Another Monday Mornins-Both
Fires About the Same Heur-Dam-
age Il Not Great.

A strong suspicion OF lncend1ar1sm
attaches to a fire which broke out in
the ice house and barn of the Cottage
Inn Sunday morning about $3.50 and
again Monday morning about the
same time. It is the belief Of the
fire department and of the owner of
the hotel, Frank Mccormick, that
some firebug set the first blaze, while
the second was possibly due to the
fact. that the first fire was not
thoroughly extinguished.
When the fireboys first got the
alarm, turned in by Mrs. Willis, who
runs the DINING DON of the Cottage
Inn, the blaze was already flaring
high in the darkness and famed by a
light west wind threatened the frame
hotel and all its guests who were
sleeping quietly regardless Of their
peril.
AS soon as the men arrived a
stream was. turned on from the near.
est hydrant and the fire was immedi.
ately brought under control and ap.
parently entirely extinguished within
two hours. The immense amount OF
saw dust packed in the bottom of the
ice house made it difficult to be Ger.
tain that the fire vas out.
Spontaneous combustion scarcely
seems the theory to At the origin OF
the fire, for the building is scarcely
charred where the saw dust lies, but
is nearly burned through at the top
OF the walls and the roof. The walls
are filled with ashes to keep out the
summers heat when the building is
used as an Ice house.
Second Fire.
About $3.50 O'Clock Monoay morn
ing fire was again discovered in the
ice house and the firemen were call
ed to the spot. This time, though the
blaze was not so serious, It was neces.
sary to smash in the front of the ice
house and tear down some Of the
walls.
It is thought that on this occasion
the fire started from a bit Of smold'
ering sawdust which may have smok'
ed away all day Sunday, though the
mute evidence Of the walls burned
high up and scarcely at all at the
bottom seems to make this doubtful,
It took the firemen about an hour
to get the fire out yesterday morning,
hut this time they made sure there
was no kind Of blaze or smoke left.
The ice house is about fifty feet
back Of the Cottage Inn itself, but ia
very near the annex and contiguous
to a lot Of small out houses. It would
not have needed to burn much longer
to have set afire the entire place,
which Is old and susceptible to fire,
The actual damage will not amount
to more than 5000, for the ice house
was an old shack valuable only for
the use that could be4made Of it.

ceased, fled suit for $4,000 damages

neer employed by the company. in the

was engineer collided with the rear
end Of the caboose, killing Harrison
instantly.
Alleges Violation Of Rule.
Negligence on the part Of Harper,
the operator at Yegen siding and
other employees Of the company is al
legged. The complaint recites that
Harper was running at a dangerously
high rate OF speed and that the rules
Of the company relative to trains run
ming ten minutes apart was violated.
It is also alleged that the operator
at Yegen siding failed to give the
! crew Of the other train a certain order
known as a soup ticket" which
would have warned them Of the train

deceased. The compleint states that
II the engineer of the other train, the

was smashed into splinters and the
bodies Of the two men were horribly
mutilated. sE
