SAYS GEN. WELLS

SALT LAKE. April 23.-Colora-
dos future experience with the law
lessness of the inner circle of the
Western Federation of Miners Is pre-
dicated absolutely upon the outcome
of the trial of Steve Adams for the
murder of Arthur Collins. in the
opinion of former Adjutant General
Buckley Wells, who was In Salt Lake
City last night en- route TO his home
at Telluride from California, where
he has been resting after his almost
miraculous escape from destruction
by bomb five weeks ago, The bomb
gnited under his bed and he is
thankful that he did not share the
fate of Frank Steunenberg of being
blown to atoms.
The reign of terror in Colorado Is
at an end, according to the former
adjutant general. Just so long as
the possibility exists of Steve Adams
repeating his confession to the muir
der of Arthur Collins. the inner cir
Gle of the Western Federation will
play its hand of being good and thus
escape further prosecution OF W. ID.
Haywood. So great is the possibil
ity of Adams telling the truth about
the methods of the inner circle and
corroborating the remarkable con-
fession of Harry Orchard, says Mr..
Wells. the administration of the
Western Federation will henceforth
be characterized by meekness and the
defendant pal of Orchard will be
given no incentive to talk.
In the event of Adams conviction,

claimed a portion of the estate val

Mrs. Anna Blnndell-Lee, claiming

asking for letters of administration
on the John Lee estate and petition
ing the court to revoke and set aside
the letters of administration on the
estate granted TO her brother, 7. H..
Blundell and w S. McRacken.
This petition of Mrs. Anna Blum
dell-Lee has created quite sensa-
ton among those concerned in the
John Lie estate and among those who
knew John Lee in his life time in
This community. as John Lee was a
very wealthy and well known resi-
dent OF Washoe county, and until this
petition was filed his friends and ac-
qnaintanees supposed that he had
died a bachelor,
Mrs. Anna Blundeil-Lee claims to
he his widow, however, and has en-
gagged Attorney James u. Jones TO
tight for her interest in the large es-
tate.
In her petition she states that she
is AZ Years OF age and that all of the
property left by John Lee in Washoe
county. amounting to S44,45O, was
accumulated after she became his
wife and that she is entitled TO a
widow's share in the remainder OF
the property.
John Lees only living blood heir,

Raeken. the appointed administrators
of the John Lee estate, states that
he will Immediately prepare to con-
test the legality of Mrs. Anna Blum
