 Surrounding Tragedy.

Annapolis. Md..LAug. 13-A large au- dience was present this morning at the beginning of the last day of the open sessions of the court of inquiry Investigating the death on October 13, 1907. of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, IT,, U. s. M. c.
 The attraction was the summing up by Henry M, Davis, counsel for Mrs. Sutton. and A. E. Birney. counsel for Lieutenant Adams. and possibly some- thing from Major Henry Leonard, Judge Advocate.
 Mir. Davis's argument did. in fact. lead the Judge Advocate> to speak, though briefly, and what he said was not in the nature of an argument touching the case.
 Members of the court were all in blue uniforms. which gave the scene in the court room more formal air than when. as has been the case hith- erto. they wore white duck.
 Mrs sutton Absent.
 Mrs. Sutton was not present at the afternoon session. It was explained privately that she had been so af- fected by the touching references of MT. Davis to her lost son at the morn ing session. that she did not feel able to appear in the afternoon. Mrs. Rose sutton Parker. her daughter, was pres- ent throughout the proceedings, how ever. and followed the arguments with the closest attention.
 The court will sit tomorrow in pri- vate to discuss the findings. which will when reached. be forwarded to the Navy Department at Washington, whence the announcement of the result of the inquiry will be made.
 Mrs. Sutton said tonight that if the findings of the court of inquiry de. clare. as did those of the former board of inquiry. that her son committed suicide. she. will carry the case still further, though In just what way she is not now prepared to say.

NEW YORK SUFFRAGETTES
GET INTO TROUBLE

New York.-A hurdy gurdy and
tamborines were used by militant suf-
frsgettes today whose English tactics
adopted for the first time in New
York, met with such a boisterous re-
ception in the city hall park that a
riot nearly ensued. A meek looking
man pulled hurdy gurdy while Mrs.
Sophia Loepinger and Miss Helen
Murphy, the suffragettes, who wore
hodges and streamers lettered "Vote
For Women" and carried copies of
"The Suffragette," tangled tambo-
rines.
Within five minutes they were the
center of such a rush that they had
to shrek for the police. Not a copy
Of the official publication, was sold
and there were no speeches, A squad
of police made lane for the women
to the nearest subway station and
they hurried home.

FOREST MONARCHS FIGHT
TO THE DEATH

Astoria, Ore.-Two of the mon
archs of the forest met in mortal
combat last week in the gorge of Big
creek, about nine miles west of
! Knappa. and it was a fight to the
| death. The vanquished was an i'm
mense cougar that measured nine feet
from tip to tip, and one of the largest
dead body told the mute story of the
deadly combat, and 1t is believed that
the victor was a big bull elk that the
cougar had been chasing, probably for
miles, and when cornered in the can
yon was compelled to give battle, as
it was impossible to go further.
The ground for so feet had been
literally plowed up, showing that the
fight had been a prolonged one There
were traces of considerable blood over
the scene of the struggle. The body
Of the cougar was found by some fish
ermen on the bank of Big creek, with
It's head in the water, evidently hav-
ing crawled there and died. 1t was
a mass of cuts and bruises, while its
stomach had been ripped open, which
was evidently the fatal wound, al
though others of the wounds would
have killed a less powerful animal. 1t
gave evidence of having been dead
for several days. and its scalp and
claws were removed by the fishermen.
Tracks in the disturbed ground gave
-, hn fatA
bull elk, and his dead body may be !
found some place in the timber, as
it is impossible that he could have es-
capped without having received serious
wounds.

BEGINS SUIT
FOR DIVORCE
SENSATIONAL CHARGES FILED
AGAINST Il. ID. KIRKPATRICK
Suit Is Filed by Millie X. Kirkpatrick
Against One of the Leading Farm
ers of the Reservation-Asks Legal
Separation on Charge of Cruel
Observation-Disclosures Were Married
in Missouri in 1S92-Both Are Well
Known Locally.

Charges of a sensational nature are
contained in the suit for divorce filed
this morning by Millie G. Kirkpat-
rick against Edward d. Kirkpatrick,
one of the leading farmers on the
reservation. Cruel and inhuman
treatment are the general allegations
upon which the plaintiff bases her
suit for legal separations.
The parties to this suit were mar
ried at Windsor, Missouri, January
IS, 1892 and that thirteenth day was
evidently unlucky for one or both of
them, if the allegations contained in
the long complaint are true. There
are no children as the result of this
union.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick charges in her
complaint that the cruel and inhuman
treatment has extended over a period
of seven years and ranged from
abusive language to actual threats
against her life. Conduct of a ques-
tionable nature is also alleged.
Among other things it is declared
that kirkpatrick locked his wife in
the house on one occasion and hat
when she escaped he pursued hel for
half a mile down the road, pulling
out large quantities of her hair when
he caught her. Last Saturday she al
leges that she asked her husband to
bring her in to the celebration but
that he refused, compelling her to
come alone while he brought in their
cook and that he and the cook did
not return home until after o'clock
in the morning. Another time when
Mrs. Kirkpatrick wanted to go some
place with him she alleges he grab
bed her by the neck and pulled her
out of the buggy.
Both parties are we'll known in
Pendleton, as they have resided near
this city for a number of year.
