WOMAN MURDERED :
AT DOOR OF CHURCH
Leading Resident of Wisconsin
Town Killed While Shaking
Hands With Pastor.
WORSHIPPERS PANIC-STRICKEN

Oakfeld, Wis, June 2. While at.
tending services at the Methodist
church yesterday morning Grant
Poole, aged about t~hirty-ive years,
shot and killed Mrs. e. M Orvis, a
leading resident Of the village. The
Rev. Sabin Halsey had completed the
services by ~pronouncing the benedic,
ton and went to the vestibule door
TO shake hands with the members of
the congregation as they left the
church. Poole occupied a pew in the
church directly in front Of Mrs. Orvis
and followed her to the door. Mrs.
Orvis was about TO shake hands with
Mr.. Halsey when Poole pulled a re,
~volver, firing three shots in rapid sue
cession, one bullet entering the heart,
causing almost instant death. Mrs.
Orvis fell back into the arms of her
husband.
Congregation Panic-stricken.
Mr.. Halsey asked the congregation
to remain and offer prayer for the
dying woman. The congregation was,
however, panic-stricken and fed from
the church in haste. The pastor re-
manned and prayed over the body.
For some time Poole has been try
ing to win the affections of Miss
Grace Orvis, twenty-five years old. 1t
is reported that the parents informed
Poole OF their objections to his ac-
tons toward their daughter, and it is
presumed that this was the cause Of
the deed.

F|LIBUST[R ENDS;
CONGRESS QUITS.
-ast Days OF Session Made Mem'
orable by La FOllette's Ef-
fort to Talk Bill to Death.
CURRENCY MEASURE is PASSED
AIdrich.V reeland Bill Goes Through
Senate-C0llapse of Filibuster
Is Sudden.

Washington, June 2.-Just ten min
utes before the hands of the big round
clocks in the chambers of the two
houses of congress pointed to the
hour of midnight Saturday, the first
session of the Sixtieth congress came
to a close.
In the house the closing hours were
characterized by singing of songs by
Republicans in honor of Speaker Can
1on and by Democrats In the interest
Of William J.. Bryan.
Made Memorable by Filibuster.
The last days OF the senate will be
memorable on account of the filibus-
ter of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone and
lGore against the emergency currency
bill.
At 4:30 o'clock the senate adopted
the report of the conferees of the two
houses of congress on the Aldrich-
Vreeland emergency currency bill by
the decisive vote of 43 to %.
FiIibuster in Disfavor.
The downfall of the flibuster was
Inevitable. Nine-tenths of the sena-
tors on both sides were opposed to 1t.
Senator Gore, the blind orator from
Oklahoma, was left on guard through
out the afternoon. Senator Stone was
to follow him with a speech of about
an hours duration, and Senator La
Toilette hoped TO take the floor again
at 6 o'clock to talk as long as his
physical endurance would permit.
When Senator Gore concluded his
speech he sat down. Doubtless he
expected that Senator Stone would be
in waiting, ready to take the floor, but
Senator Stone was reclining on a
sofa in the cloak room.
Fairbanks Puts Question.
When the Oklahoma senator con.
cluded his speech the vice president
put the question to the senate whether
the conference report on the curren-
cy bill should be adopted. The roll
call was begun before Senator Stone
and Senator La Toilette could reach
the chamber. Futile efforts were
made by the Wisconsin senator to in
terpose objections that would pro.
long the debate and to devise means
to give him opportunity for continued
discussion. He received no encour-
agement. When he appealed from a
decision by Vice President Fairbanks
on a question of order only nine sen
ators supported him.
Collapse Is Sudden.
The result came Unexpectedly soon,
but not until the senate had been well
worn u by a flibuster which, while
not largely supported, made up in in
tensity what it lacked in numbers.
The obstructive tactics were begun
by Senator La Toilette when the re-
port was taken up by the senate Fri
day; it was prosecuted by him all
Friday night and was continued Sat
urday by Senators Stone and Gore.
Mr.. La Toilette broke the record as a
long distance speaker; Mr.. Stone held
the IGOR for six hours and a half, al
most without interruption, and Mr..
Gore spoke for something more than
two hours.
La Toilette spoke eighteen hours
and forty-three minutes.

PASSENGER TRAIN
HELD UP BY BOYS
Force Great Northern Train to
Run on Siding and Rob
the Passengers.
MAKE CONDUCTOR PASS HAT

Great Falls, Mont. June 2. A
north-bouRd Great Northern passen-
ger train was held up at 1890 yester-
day morning about one mile and a
half from this city by three boys, who
are under arrest.
The train was run onto a siding by
the bandits, who fred a fusillade up
and down the train.
William Dempsey, an Augusta
rancher, was shot through the leg in
attempting TO escape from the train
after it had stopped.
Rob the Passengers.
Conductor Hays was compelled by
the robbers to precede them in pass
ing through the cars, carrying a hat
in which the passengers were invited
to dump what cash they had about
them.
Most of them deposited from 81 to
$40 and the booty of the desperadoes
is not believed to be greater than sew
eral hundred dollars.
One of the bandits guarded the
doors Of the cars to prevent passen-
gers from leaving. The robbers finally
jumped off the coaches and disappear
ed in the darkness.
Boys Arrested.
The three boys now occupy cells in
the city Jail. a fourth youth, who
admits having assisted in planning
the hold-up but took no active part is
also a prisoner. The quartet have
made a complete confession to the
police.
The four boys are Albert Hatch,
aged fifteen; William Randall, aged
seventeen; Harry Rheams, fifteen,
and George S. Cresswell. aged six
teen.
According to the story told by Ran
dali, Rheams and Creswell, the hold
up was planned and carried out UNI
der the generalship of Hatch.
Wanted to Rob Some More.
Rheams states that Hatch, after
they had left the scene of the hold-up,
proposed that they cross the Sun
river to the Montana Contra. lire and
hold up passenger train No. 236, from
Butte, which was due in TWO or three
hours. Because he demurred, Rheams
says, Hatch drew his revolver and
threatened to kill him. He was dis
suaded from the second attempt of
train robbery by the two youths who
were with him.
