New York Oct. H.-Edward n. Barrin.
the guide who accompanied DR.. Frederick
A. Cook on the attempted ascent of
Mount Mckinley In 1906, and who has
been quoted in news dispatches during the
last few days as saying that DR.. Cook did
not reach the summit of the mountain, is
quoted extensively in the Globe Of this
evening in a long statement which be-
rims: II, Edward n. Barrill. being first
July sworn. do on oath depose and say"
&c.
The Globes published affidavit OF Bar
iii then goes into detail about the vari-
Gus stages Of the trip. IN which the guide
absolutely denies DR.. Cook ever reached
a height of even 10000 feet. whereas DR..
Cook, in his book describing the ascent,
says the mountain is more than $1,000 feet
high.
Barrill says the Illustration in DR..
Cooks book labeled The Summit of
Mount Mckinley" and which was repro
duced this evening with the published
affidavit. was photographed. according to
the affidavit. at a point twenty miles
from the summit

The photograph shows Barrin himself
waving an American flag. The altitude
Of the spot shown. according to the
guides sworn statement, was according
to DR.. Cook himself" not over 5000 feet.
Barrill says It did not exceed 1000.
II might be noted at the same time
that In an interview with Dr. Cook dated
Philadelphia, which appeared in the
Evening Sun tonight, the explorer says
he doubts Barrill has said the things

attributed to him during the last few
days and adds: But he is one in whom
have every confidence"
Whether DR.. Cook stlT has the same
confidence in his guides truthfulness.
now that the Globes affidavit has been
published, has not been learned.
In the explorers book. THE Top Of
the Continent" DR.. Cook gives one ac-
count OF reaching the summit OF Mount
Mckinley. Barrill in the affidavit gives
quite another. Here is Dr. Cooks de-
scriptiOn in his book:
1t was September 16 the temperature
l6 degrees below zero. the altitude 2O.3gO
feet. Most impressive was the curious
low dark sky the dazzling brightness
OF the frosted granite blocks. the
neutral gray blue Of space. the
frosty, dark blue Of the shadows and
above all. the final picture which 7 took
OF Barrill with the flag dashed to his
AK as the arctic air froze the impression
into relief which no words can tell"
Affidavit Is Different.
BarriITs affidavit runs differently The
affidavit says:

Three divorce complaints were filed in the district court yesterday by At torney J. M. McCollum, the complain. ants in each ease being the wife, and in all three of them the grounds were given as drunkenness or general "ornri- ncss.' Mrs. Della Powers, married in this city November 2, 1907, complains that her husband has been intoxicated rather too frequently and has i'll treat ed her, and she therefore asks for a divorce from William J. Powers. Mrs. Mary F. Reading, married at Carl June. tion, Jasper county, Missuori, February l3, 1904, says that the last thing she knew of her husband, David N. Read ing, he was in Cananea. anything but a good provider, besides which she charges that he has diseonocerting habit of getting drunk and beating her Mrs. Hattie l.. Randy asks for a di- vorce from William Randy because, she says, he calls her foul names and beats her cruelty, but she made no charge of drunkenness.

H spat on the Sidewalk

In spite or the "second and last warning" published in yesterday morn. ing's Silver Belt, w. D. Rowe, young cmploye of the Old Dominion company, forgot himself and spat on the side walk in Broad street. It was the most convenient sidewalk he could fnd--- sidewalks are not so plentiful in Globe, after all, but that was not offered as an excuse. The fact is that he was eaaght redmouthed by Deputy Marshal Coeh- ran, who lost no time in placing the offender under arrest. Result, visit to Justice Hinson Thomas and the i'm position of $5 fine, which was prompt ly paid. News of the arrest and fine spread quickly; considerably more in terest was taken in it than in the pub lication of any number of warnings, and yesterday afternoon the sidewalks "all over the city, were as clean as could be. More offenses will bring more ar- rests.

There was no booming cannon, no shrieking siren, but the alarm quickly reached the sheriff's of fee, bringing out more deputies with more shooting irons. The runner was overtaken just as he leaped into q wagon jogging along towards the creek. "Wot ell, :" stammered Blevins. The greaser was past stammering as he look ed into row of pistol muzzles that seemed about to engulf him. The poor devil was working with the street gang and had simply run to catch q ride on the city wagon, it was explained. The officers seemed suddenly attacked with extreme nervousness about the rignt toe, but the boy had vanished.

LEBO, Kan, March C.-The failure of an Emporia woman to get a legal separation from her husband has just cheated owen Reeves, 77 years old, out of his fifteenth bride.
 Fourteen weddings and fourteen partings comprise the domestic achievements of BIT. Reeves, of Speedy, as he is called in Lebo, and, although several Of his four and ten unions have ended ingloriously, he still regards married fife as a bliss full success. He Is iu the field for another engagement.
 After a wearisonae three years and four months Of "batehing" Mir. Reeves felt the germ of love stirring in his system again. When the bubble of love burst he bethought himself of a certain charming woman he once had known fin Emporia. Straightway he went to F. L. Traylor, cashier of the Lebo State bank, who is Reeves conhdant and correspondent He di- rected Traylor to engross a tender note to the fair lady, inviting her to be mistress of his two-roOm cottage and his income, a pension of SIS monthly TOT serving with the Nfrety- seventh Illinois infantry, Company c, in the civil war.
 The lady read and capitulated Two days later Reeves received an en. chanting note from her asking him to call In Emporia. Reeves was fond ly received. After an ecstaic few mo ments of conversation and sighs. the widow let slip the unfortunate admis- sion that she had a living husband but no divorce.

INSANE MAN
 IS KILLED BY
 REV. EASTMAN
Valet 10 Army Officer Runs AmuCk and Minister Of Cos pei is Compelled to Shoot Him

TEMPLE, N. M- March C.-Whne crazed with drInz, George L. Mar cott, a valet in the employ of Brig adler General James Miller, U. s. A., retired, ran amuck and after shoot ing at several villagers, was shot and killed by the Reverend Harvey East. man. pastor of tho local Congrega- tiOnal church
 The tragedy occurred at General hiller's residence, one and One-half miles from Temple.
 Marcott had been drinking freely for some time. He seized one or General Miller's army pistols, dis charged it at random and drove the general and his hOusekeeper from the house.
 General Miller telephOned to Tsm- pie for assistance and in response eight men, armed with shOtguns and revolvers. hastened to the Miller homestead.
 They surrounded the house, hoping to induce GarcOtt to surrender, but he refused to do so and maintained his treatening attitude. Finally. Mar colt left the house by the back door Tho Reverend Mr. Eastman and Doe tor Davidson were nearer to Marcott than the others and endeavored to persuade the insane man to lay down his pistol.
 shot was the invariabie reply. As a last resort, Davidson, who was armed wSh revolver, fired at Mar colt but missed him. The insane man continued to s1oU,, but his aim was so wild that he did not hit anyone.
 Finally Mir. Eastman pointed a shot gun at the valet and demanded that he surrender. To save his life, the minister discharged the gun, the con tents striking Marcott in the fore head and killing him instantly.
 The authorities took no action, ex- cept 10 hold a formal inquest.

SNOW PUTS DAMPER ON
 GOLD HUNT
Soil is Rendered Too Damp tC Be Worked By Dry Washers Which Stops Activity At SyIvanite

SYLVANITE, March 5.-But for the slight fall of snow which occurred this week rendering the ground too wet to be worked by dry washers, there would have been considerable activi- ty in the gold bearing gulches. The ground now being worked is the dis COvery location made by E. J. Clark, early last spring, when be first com menced prospecting in this district. Ij is situated about one mile west Oi the lowell mine and covers a dry water channel and a fiat which shows evidence of a great rush of water in
 times gone by. Clark extracted over S40O worth of gold in a very short time and his success led to others finding gold on adjoining ground. Clark sold his claim and continued his prospecting east, which led to the location of the King Solomon, Golden Ea gle and the other properties. Up to a month ago fully $20OO worth of placer gold has been taken from the surface gravel by very crude means. The gold is of good quality, and that it has not travelled far is proved by it being rough and jagged at the edges while it's weight leads to the suppOsition that it was errOded from the immense number of veins which outcrop from the King Solomon. Gold cn Eagle, Makeup Charlie and Brok- en Jug claims and north across the Handcar, Big Surprise, Knight and Spanish groups and the Wood mine Badger and Iron King claims. CIark's original location is now being operat- cd by a dry washer by Welch, Mar shall and Summers, who before snow fell. recovered over $15 worth of gold as the result of only a few hours work. James Clark, a brother of the original discOyeTer, was also getting very satisfactory results from adja cent ground. The gold brought in this week is coarse and heavy, some pieces being as big as grains of rice, of a copper hue and worth about SIS an ounce. As the snow has now melted work will be resumed when the ground has dried out, but if plenty oi water was available much greater re turns could be made by sluicing the ground. The fact that the surface soil. near to the big quartz veins. is so rich in gold is additional proof, fl needed. of the values of the veins ir place The deposition of gold in the surface gravel Is by no meaas con fined to the above named gulches ol that section of the camp but may bs found also on the south and east sides of the range and if vigorously worked
