MRS. INGERSOL[ GETS
VERDICT OF $13S,S1O
Case Has Been Tried in Several
Courts but Final Decree Is Is-
sued and Widow viii
Obtain Money

BOSTON, April '15.--The lengthy It'll
cation against relatives of the late An
drew J. Davis, a wealthy mine owner
of Montana, by Mrs. Eva M. Ingersoll
of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y, widow of the
late Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll, ended to-
day when Judge William L. Putnam
awarded Mrs Ingersoll $13S,S10, with
interest and costs.
Following the death of Mr.. Davis
certain of his relatives engaged Colonel
Ingersoll as counsel in an effort TO
break the will, agreeing to pay him
100000. After Colonel Ingersoll died
the Davis relatives refused to pay the
widow, claiming that the services called
for had not been fully performed.
Mrs. Ingersoll then brought suit In
the United States circuit court to re-
cover 100000 from Henry A. Root of
Lowell, Joseph A. Coram of Boston
and others who had made the contract.
The court decided in her favor and
the case was appealed to the circuit
court of appeals, which reversed the
verdict.
Mrs. Ingersoll then took the case to
the federal supreme court, which re-
versed the decision of the court OF
appeals.
AS a result of this decision Judge
Putnam issued the final decree today,
practically reaffirming the original ver-
dict of the court.

PANIC AT THEATER
NARROWLY AvERTED
Amusement House at GoIdfleld In Path

to the Extent of
100000

GOLDFIELD. New, April 15.-Fire
which started in photograph gallery
about o'clock tonight for a time
threatened the destruction of the en-
tire business portion of this camp. Not
until four large buildings, comprising
almost block, and losses estimated at
100000 had been caused were the
flames controlled.
A panic was narrowly averted in a
theater in the path of the fire which
was crowded with people. The play
house was emptied in less than three
minutes.
For short time 1t seemed that the
Western Union telegraph Office would
go up in flames, and the operators
were ready to abandon their wires and
move the most valuable of their in
struments.
Heroic work on the part OF the fire.

WARSAW. Russian Poland, April Is

WARSAW. Russian Poland, April 15
"A movement is on foot in Russia ano
Austrian Poland to honor the memory
of Helena Modjeska, the Polish actress,
who died in California April 3.
ARRANGEMENTS are being made Tor a
memorial service to be held in this
city, and a statue of Nine. Mod1eska
will be erected in the foyer of the War
saw theater.
A committee is working in Austrian
Poland to erect another statue at the
Lemborg theater.
The Warsaw theater has decided to
establish Modjeska fund to further
the education of young actors. An
effort is being made to collect money
to bring Modjeska's body to warsaw
for burial, and if this is permitted there
will be public funeral.
There is some doubt, however, wheth-
er the Russian authorities will permit
this, as Modjeska was expelled from
Russia several years ago, when she
was about to make a public appearance
in this city If burial in Warsaw is
not possible, the body will be inferred
in Cracow, in Austrian Poland.

Most of the towns around
Julesburg are now in the field
with a base ball team, but so far
nothing of any material conse-
quence has been done here.
There is no sport known to the
civilized world today which goes
ahead of base ball, and let the
fans get their heads together and
see if it will not be possible to
organize a team which will be
able to uphold the honors for
Julesburg with any of the teams
in the surrounding towns. Talk
is cheap but 1t takes players to
put Dip good article in the
line of base ball. If everyone
who is interested in this matter
will pull together it will not be a
difficult matter to get together a
record breaking team and there
is no need of going out of this
community for material either.

Julesburg seems to have a
large number of boys and young

age ceremony is scarcely finished
until this element presents itself
and begins it's mission of annoy.
ance and unnecessary fuss. Now
there is no one who does not en-
joy a little bit of this sort of sere-
nading, but when it comes to
acting in a boisterous manner,
shooting off fire arms and max
ing other equally earsplitting
racket then it becomes unbear-
able and it's high time that some
one be given a lesson which they
will not soon forget. This bois-
ferrous and disorderly conduct at
the instance of wedding is be-
coming simply unbearable and is
not in keeping with what should
be expected of a civilized COM
such as we are supposed
to live in. 1t smells to high
