BRITISH EARL
 DIES IN HOTEL End Comes in Paris Lodging | House. RUMOR OF PISTOL DUEL Friends Declare Death Was Due to
 Natural Causes. Member of Parliament Said to Have Fousht With an Enslishman Just outside French Capi-

 PIeurisy.

Paris. Dec. 30.--EarI Percy (Henry Algernon George) of London. mem- Der of the British Parliament. and for- meriy British Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs died here today from acute pieurisy
 Death occurred at second class ho- tel situated opposite the railway sta- tion and the fact that the Earl had occupied these humble lodgings cre- ated the impression that there was something mysterious in connection with his illness.
 It was rumored that he had been shot in a duel outside of Paris a few days ago. These stories were denied today by the attending physicians. The hotel management explained that 1t was Earl Percy's custom to stop at this hotel whenever he visited the city.
 Despite all deniais the rumor per- sists that Earl Percy was the victim of duel. His opponent Is said to have been an Englishman who had been re- ceived as a friend in the Earl's family. What caused the quarrel is not stated but the two are said to have left Eng land for the express purpose of fight ing the duel
 bullet is said to have pierced the Earl's lungs.
 Sir H. Austin Lee. counsellor of the Embassy here, declared that the story of duel was a preposterous invention.
 The physicians state that death was immediately due to heart failure fol- lowing an acute Inflammation of the lungs.
 News of the Earl's death created something of sensation among those who are more or less acquainted with the Englishman's affairs. The theory of duel is credited in high quarters. where 1t is believed that the family is expressing the facts.
 The sudden demise of Earl Percy leaves the conservatives without a candidate for South Kensington. His election address was in the hands of the printer.
 The Earl had planned to open the campaign in hls district next week.

ton are successful. made Its report

The committee reported that there
had been an inspector in the fld in
vstigating the lands to be flooded un-
der the easement secured by the
company, and that an effort had been
made by the committee to have a con-
ference with him but failed. The
committee reported, however. that
all the facts concerning the situation
had been placed In his hands by st.
Maries citizens. and that the commit
tee had held a conference with del
egation from this city relative to the
matter, and that Il was estimated
that the land that will be flooded by
the company under the easement,
and those belonging to settlers II the
company is successful in the courts
with its suits against settlers, will
aggregate $4,000 acres. The com
mittee stated that nearly all OF the
land was OF an agricultural charac-
ter, and that It's flooding would re-
suit in heavy loss and injury to the
people of the county. and also the
city Of Occur d'Alene. The directors
referred the matter back to the COM
mittee for further consideration, and
another report will be submitted at a
later date.
The matter OF electIng three del

ening.

ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE

Hold Big Rail, Banquet and We'd
ding.
The Odd Fellows lodge celebrated
Its nineteenth annual ball al It's hall
last evening, and the event was one
OF the best attended. and most elab-
crate social functions Of It's kind that
has been held in the city for some
time. The committee in charge had
made extensive preparations for the
event. A splendid program had been
prepared for the occasion. and after
its rendition a sumptuous banquet
was given at the Hotel Idaho. Be
sides the members OF the local lodge
there was In attendance delegations
from the Odd Fellows lodges at Har-
rison, ST. Maries. Post Falls and

One OF the unique features OF the
program was a marriage. The con-
tracing parties were Thompson
Manning and Mrs. Minneta Gardner.
Both are OF Harrison, Mrs. Gardner

ali lodge of that city. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. w. r. Pow
ell OF the Baptist church. and upon
It's conclusion the contracting parties

Another feature OF unusual inter
est on the program was a history OF

views. Rev. Powell In his address
dwelt upon the early history Of the
order. and upon It's many benefits.

ton upon society. The remaining
programs consisted OF musical selec-
tons. recitations. and a drIll By the

the crowded condition OF the hall
portions OF II had TO be eliminated.

casion by Captain p D. VIM. and
the excellent exhibition given showed

SHOT PRIEST
In COLD BLOOD
Deliberate Murder Causes In
tense Excitement Among
Polish Catholics

NEWARK. N. j., March 1o.-Rev-
erend Father Erasmus Ansione, Gu
rate of Saint Stanislaus Polish Cath
Ollie church, was shot down in the
rectory of the church by three men
this morning, and Miss Tonista, his
housekeeper, who upon hearing the
shots rushed into the rectory, and en-
deavored to pervent the assassination
was also shot, and will die from the
wounds. Father Ansione was i'm.
mediately taken to the hospital for
treatment but died from his wounds
on the way.
Assassination a Mystery.
The assassination of Father An
stone is enveloped in mystery, and
so far no motive has been assigned
for the murder and no arrests have
been made. Father Ansione had
just completed his celebration of the
morning mass when the door bell
rang and he was advised by his
housekeeper that there was a group
of three or four men outside waiting
to see him. He met them at the
door and escorted them into the little
front parlor rectory, and what oc-
Cured there will never be known un-
less the story is told by his assassins
when apprehended by the officers. 1t
was but short time after the father
had escorted the party into the rec
tory when the shooting occurred. and
Miss Tonista upon hearing the shots
rushed into the room. She endeav-
ored to prevent the assassins from
carrying out their object, was shot
and as she fell PROSTATE upon the
floor the assassins trampled upon her
body as they fed from the room.

r. L. Black have not made an
investigation of the matter, but my
opinion is that when the bin is signed
that the new district will be without
a judge, and that 1t win remain so
until an election is held. unless some
one is appointed by the governor"
R. e. McFarland-"W Whether
Judge Woods win retain jurisdiction
or will not depend entirely upon the
bill. II is certainly a great over
sight IL no provision was made in il
for Judge Woods to continue to have
jurisdiction until a Judge Is elected
for the new district. 1t win not SER
iously affect litigation. Suits can be
commenced as usual, injunctions SCI
cured. but ntil a judge is elected IL
there is no provision for Judge Wood
to retain jurisdiction there will be no
tribunal to hear motions, grant or
ders, and attend to other legal mat
tiers.
p. n. LaVeine-"If the governor
signs the bill creating the new judic-
ial district it will be without a Judge,
unless the governor should appoint
one. He has the power under law to
make such an appointment If he de-
sires to do so, but 1t is not compuI-
sorry upon him to make it. Litiga-
tion to any great extent will not be
disturbed as an election will be held
within couple Of months, and what
Is known as extraordinary proceed
lngs can be resorted to through the
courts in adjoining counties, and the
supreme court of the state"
Edwin McBee-I am unqualifiedly
of the opinion that if Governor Brady
signs the bill that the district is then
created, and Judge Wood ceases to
any longer have Jurisdiction over it.
1t will then be without a Judge. and
/ believe that the governor should APP
point one at once until an election
can be held.
