PREPARES FOR EMERGENCY
HeneY Fears Enemies May Get Gala
CHER and Plans Accordingly.

San Francisco. June 4-Conyinced
that the higher ups" have determined
to kill former Supervisor James L.
Gallagher, Assistant District Attorney
Francis ]. Heney announced yes.
terday that he will dismiss the case
in which Abraham Ruef is charged
with bribing former Supervisor J. J..
Furey, because Gallagher's testimony
before the grand jury led to the in
dictment.
The testimony of a dead man given
before a grand jury cannot be used
IN future action. Repeated attacks on
Gallagher's property with dynamite
and continuous threats against his Life
have led Heney to take steps to pre-
vent the loss of Gallagher's testimony
through his death.
t is Heney's purpose to file new
information against Ruef in the same
premises and call Gallagher as wit.
ness at the preliminary hearing. II
his testimony is taken in this way, It
will be on record
The necessity for such unusual meth
DDS is believed to be urgent by the
members of the prosecution, who tear
for their own lives as well as for that
of Gallagher.
This probably will be the next pro-
cedure against Ruef in the graft cases
and it is proposed to take it as RAPID
ly as possible. as the prosecution Pc
lieves that the ''higher-ups" are De-
coming more desperate every day.

MONTANA CUT

Rising Hoods Break Communication

Still Continues Many Passengers
Marooned on Trains in out-o'-
fhe-Way Places.

| Missoula, Mont, June Cat O'Clock
last eeyening the food situation in west
ern Montana was growing more serious
each minute. Helena is cut off from
the outside world. She is without rail-
way, telegraph or telephone communica-
ton. For a short time in the afternoon
there was a telephone connection, and
at the time it was learned that all Of
the streams in Helena and vicinity are
Overlooking, and that there has been
much damage to farms and consider
able loss Of livestock.
The Great Northern's branch lines
are out Of service, and the main line
in northern Montana is cut in several
places. The first train started eastward
out OF Spokane over the Great Northern
is now tied up There is no communi-
cation either by rail or telegraph
All streams continue to rise. The
Big Blackfoot river is nearly its high
est flood mark
The Northern Pacific has lost sew
eral miles of track east of here during
the day At Bonita, Nimrod and Bear
mouth the telegraph operators have
been compelled to leave their posts,
driven out by the rising waters. At
Garrison nearly all the residents have
fled from their homes and are camped
upon the hills in the rain
None of the dams on the river have
given way, though the power dam
owned by ex-senator William A. Clark,
above Missoula, is reported to be in a
critical condition.
Yesterday afternoon the Northern Pa
cihc released by wagon transfer 200 of
the passengers that have been marooned
east of here. They will be sent to Spo-
kane on made-up train.
The damage to the new roadbed of
the ST. Paul line between Missoula
and Butte will not fall short of a mil
lion dollars, and it is becoming greater
all the time
The Northern Pacific has assembled on
this division all Of the piledrivers from
the west that it can get; it has taken
from its own western divisions and has
borrowed from other roads. The fight
against the water is being carried on by
10000 men, but the water is gaining
steadily and the rain continues to fall
in torrents. The Missoula river at this
place is but few feet below the high
est mark ever registered. The expensive
city bridges are IN danger, and are
guarded to prevent their use, SO danger
Gus are they considered.
West Of here the Northern Pacific
has no trouble as yet
At midnight the Northern Pacific has
surrendered the fight against the water
east of Missoula for the present. I'm
less the rain stops soon, there will be
very little left of $50 miles Of the most
expensive road on the line. Two big
steel bridges have been washed out, but
i is not understood that they are de-
stroyed.
The serious feature Of the situation is
the fact that the high water has ex-
tended west of Missoula. and is attack
ing the track between Missoula and the
west end Of the state. The Idaho di-
vision has sent big force of men over
to help in the fight on the west end

SHOOTS AT DREYFUS.
Military Journalist Seeks Revenge for
Insult to French Army.

Paris, June 5.--Just at the close oil
the. ceremonies attending the canoni-
cation of Emile lola in the Pantheon
yesterday, when the president oil
France, the premier and a host OF
ministers of state were taking their
departure, Louis Antheno Gregoris, a
military writer of note, drew a re-
volver and fired two shots point-blank
at Major Alfred Dreyfus, for whose
liberty lola fought and won.
Men distinguished in all walks of
lite filled the Pantheon and, when the
shots rang out, there was great ex-
cifement in fear that the president
had been assassinated. but even the
attempt on the life of Major Dreyfus
created a profound impression Sol
diers speedily surrounded Gregoris
and he was aiken to Jail, bruised and
bleeding, with his clothes almost torn
from his back.
Major Dreyfus was not seriously in

put did not injure the bone. AT a
late. hour the official statement was
made that his condition was very ia
vorable and that no complications
were feared.
With regard to the erasons for Gre
goris' act, the opinion prevails in Paris
that there IS much truth in his avowal
that he was driven to the deed by the
appeals to hatred with which the anti
Semitic papers have been filled since
the government resolved to place the
Dody OF Zoia in the Pantheon.
