Chicago, March miss Frances
Kingsnorth, an artists model, was
led blindfolded into a room filled
with cadavers yesterday and was pho
tographerd for a picture to be en-
titled ASLEEP with the Dead" She
famed when the bandage was re-
moved and her eyes opened on the
grewsome grinning hulks of human
forms that surrounded her. Her col
lapse was followed by Mysteries, in
which she screamed and struggled to
free herself from what seemed to
her to be living tomb, until she fell
in an unconscious heap on the floor
of the anatomical laboratory.
After this experience she was in d
precarious condition at the home of a
physician, whittier she was removed
following the scene created as the re-
suit of an effort to obtain a photo
graph that would eclipse all the mag
NATIVE horrors conceived by art.
Miss Kingsworth previously had
nerved herself to waltz with an artic-
ulated SHELTON, and to pose with TIE
same bony remnant of a departed
personality upon her lap, and several
pictures were taken.

Fairbanks and two are uncommitted.
Only fourteen delegates from Ohio
had been elected and al are instruct

four Taft delegates come from states
other than Ohio. No candidate 9TH
er than Taft has thus far secured
any delegate outside of his own
state. The gentlemen in public life
who have been talking about the col
lapse of the Taft boom have begun
to take notice

The Story of an Fog.

A little girl down the river owns
a black pullet of which she is justly
proud-and in that section the hens
are not trained like Seattle hens t.
carry rubber stamp to mark the
date an egg is laid, so this little miss
must write the information. One of
the World-Adyance force was yester-
day served boiled egg which bore
the following inscription: This egg
was laid by my black pullet, Dot,
Feb. %, '0S. Martha Solomon, age
13 years. Vulcan, Wash" The egg
was in first-class shape, and the prin-
ter wishes the black pullet to keep
right on with the good work.

that he took in payment thereof the
south half OF the tract in dispute.
Long Jim had at that time no title
to the land and Mr.. Starr went TO
Washington and got a bill passed,
granting the Indian patent to the
tract.
Long Jim alleges, however, that
ne did no. realize what he was DO
ing. and .hal Mr.. Starr practiced
fraud in that he made the other be-
Iieye that Mr.. Starr had clear title
to the south half through his claim
for services when he did not. He
alleges that after Mr.. Starr had. later
purchased for cash the .iorth half.
he induced the Indian to give him
deed for the whole tract. In short,
Jim believes the defendant to be a
thoroughly cultus man and the meth
DDS he employed to be more cultus
still.
Four witnesses testify that both
Jim and his wife signed the deed,
though Mary now swears she never
did. Testimony as to the value OF
the property at the time of the sale
and at the presen greatly varies.
Real estate men and others familiar
with property values in the vicinity
of Chelan approximate its worth in
1900 at about $4,000 alj a. the
present from $4,000 to $4,000.
Long Jim is represented by y. G.
Avery. z. S. attorney, and l.. 3.
Lindsay, assistant Z. S. attorney,
both of Spokane. Mr.. Starr IS rep
resented by Reeves & Reeves Of We
natchee. Witnesses for the Indian
are r. II. Lord, Bob Blakaney, Jchn
Walsh, NJ NJ Foote and Chris Rob-
inson; those for Mr.. Starr are D. L.
Martin, Dewitt c. Britt, A. H. Muir
dock, c. c. Campbell, D. L. Gillespie.

/ 1t is expected that the court will

Helena News Notes.

HELENA, April 7.-Judge Hunt OF
the federal court declares that because
of the increased amount of litig alton
in Montana the creation of q second
judicial district ia the state is impera.
tive. 1t is understood that one of the
Montana legislators will! urge Judge
Hunts claims in congress.
IT the tria now pending ia the fed.
eral court is concluded by Thursday
the trial will then begin of John T.
Murphy, indicted on the charge Of
illegally fencing approximately SO, 600
acres of public land. In the amount
of land involved this case il the big.
gest ever brought in Montana.
Judge Cheadle, of Fergus county,
announced in an interview today that
if the republican party saw fit, he
would be willing 10 accept the guber.
natorial nomination. He says If the
party thinks he is the most available
candid ate, it is agreeable. He does
not want to be thought to be contest
ing with other aspirants. This an
nouncement is a result of the republic
a committee meeting Saturday
night, many of the committeeman ex.
pressing it as their belief that Judge
Cheadle was the best man to make the
race.

Flax As a Montana Crop.

improvements in methods of man.
u%facturing textiles from fax straw
will increase the demand for that pro.
duct, according to a circular Issued
by a large eastern line manufacturing
concern, and part of this demand
may be supplied by Montana farmers.
Many of the settlers in the eastern
part of Valley county are reported to
have raised good crops of fax seed
the past few seasons, and If there is q
profitable market for the straw its
c~ultiv alton will be largely increased.
In referring to this new source of
income from agricultural products,
the L%ewistown Argus says it brings to
mind the fact that while fax has
v been cultivated to any extent in
Montana, there are several erctions
in which'it is easily grown. 1t is no
idle boast to say that no part of Mon.
tana il so we'll ad ated to fax culture
a. Fergus county. This has been dem.
onstrated 10 several ways, and it is
we'll known tina, ia several parts of
the basin, fax grows and fourishes
