WOMAN CALLED FIEND

Paris, Nov la. Many well dressed,
stylish appearing women managed to
gain entrance to the gloomy, sitting
court room yesterday TO hear the con-
clnding argument IN the murder trial Of
Madame Margherita Steinheil, widow Of
the Inflated painter.
The accused woman with features Of
deathly pallor, walked unaided into the
court room, but her step was mechani-
cal and her arms hung Imply at her
side.
When she had taken her place in the
dock she seemed hardly to have the
strength to look about her and sat with
lowered eyes, like one in a dream, as
the red ROBBED Judge advocate resumed
his merciless arraignment
Beginning with the words. Owe viii
live again the tragic night" NJ. Trou-
ard Riolle, who had opened his summing
up for the prosecution yesterday, in
cold, dispassionate words, undertook to
reconstruct the scene at the Steinheil
house on the night Of the tragedy and
on the morning when the crime was dis
covered
He marshalled the testimony Of wit
7 ness after witness to establish his con-
tention that the burglar story was a
fabrication and the binding of Madame
Steinheil a farce; that the money
claimed to have been stolen never ex-
listed and that the Jewels which the
widow asserted bad been taken from
the house were afterwards found in her
possession.
NJ Riolle dwelt particularly upon the
tell tale ink stains which the two ply
sicians, who examined the injuries Of
Madame Steinheil. claimed TO have
found upon her knee During the bind
ing Of Madame Japy, an inkstand in
her room had been overturned and sub
seqently ink stains were discovered
upon the qnilts Of her bed.
Tie prosecutor claimed that during
the scuflie in the step-mother's room,
the ink was spilled. scattering both up
on the he'd and upon the accused.

dozen cracker boxes. A large number
of spectators were present not for the
purpose Of hearing the evidence, but
to see the fun. The most noticeable
feature of the spectacle was the ten
derfoot attorney standing before a
barrel turned on one end the other be-
ing covered with two long knives and
two revolvers Of the heaviest CALDER.
Snelson looked the defendant In the
eye and said:
Il have heard that you intend to
kill me IL ] argue this case. To kill
me you must get your hand in your
pocket The first motion you make in
that direction I'll I'LL you full Of bull

Snelson then presented undoubted
evidence Of the title Of the Empire
Mining company to the property In lit
igation Traphagan let the case 90 by
default, and the Jury without leaving
their cracker boxes gave verdict In
favor OF the plaintiff.
But 1t WAS evident from the look on
Traphagan's face that the case had not
been settled between him and the ten
derfoot. As soon as the verdict against
him had been recorded he said to the
latter:
i don't want to XIII a gal, but ! do
want to give you thrashlng I'll al

wen 60 out with nothin but our fists
to find out which is the best man."
II have no quarrel with you, replied
Snelson, "but If you insist upon it I'll
accommodate you"
Traphagan was relieved OF his weap-
ons-there was one In each Of bis coat
pockets-and Snelson. leaving his lay
out on the barrel head, went outside
with his antagonist. Odds as high as
four to one were laid on Traphagan.

restrain his wrath, and no sooner was
the fight on than he STROBE toward
snelson for the purpose Of annihilating
him. But when he struck Snelson was
not there. Besides. before bis antago-
mist could recover himself he received
blow that put one eye out Of the
combat Then Traphagan brought his
ponderous fist down on the tender
foot's shoulder. but Snelson dncked so
as to escape most Of the weight OF the
blow. His fist shot up against the
bad mans nose and drew a plentiful
supply Of blood Though only a few
minutes had elapsed, from this point

AN IRRIeAToR's INQUIRIES.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
 Sir-Reading the articles in your cstimable paper of the 27th and 2Sth inst. about the copious amount of water in the canals, l want to ask this question: Why can We not get some Of it? This is the 11th or 12th day since We have had a run Why is there not more regularity about the water system. especially in the Appropriators? 1t must be the fault of the officials. not the water Now think there ought to be an equal distribution of water; not have to see water in the canal and one suf- feriug for water for everything on the ranch. I have lived in this val ley some of the time for twenty three years and am here to stay if l am not burned out. I have seen better man agement of the water system than now. I am and have been cores bonding with parties. from Wiscon- sin. Nevada. and Kansas that want to know how and what can be done here. as they are tired of wet weather in those states.

A TRAGIC EXPERIENCE.
The Climax of a Woman's Return Trip
to Her Home

TO Her Rome.
A New York woman had a curious
and tragic experience, one that seems
more like a grewsome page from
French fiction than the plain recital of
fact.
This woman started out with her
husband to accompany him part way
on a business trip he was taking to
a southern city. 1t was arranged that
she should stop to visit some friends
at a point about halfway on the jour
ney and after a two days stay should
proceed and rejOin her husband ut his
destination and return with him. She
made her visit and when she reached
the town where she had expected to
meet her husband found that he was
not at the hotel where he had been
stopping, but had left hurriedly for
New York the day before. She waited
long enough to send kilograms to her
husbands office and to their house in
New York asking if he had arrived
and to receive Il negative answer from
each place.
Concluding that he had been unable
to reach her by telegraph while she
was on the road, she decided to return
home. She was disappointed, but not
at all perturbed, as she jOurneyed
nOrthward She had to change cars
twice on the way. Each change in
voIved a wait of ten or fifteen min
utes at a small junction town. AS she
was pacing up and down the station
platform at each of these places she
saw q big, pine covered coffin box I'M
loaded from the express car and put
aboard the nOrthbOund train. At Jer-
Sey City the same box was being UNI
loaded, and it crossed the ferry with
her in a hearse. She noted idly that
one Of the hearSe horses was white
and the other black She went first
to her husbands office, but the hour
was late in the afternoon, and it was
closed. Then she went uptown to her
home
As she was about to enter the apart
ment house a hearse drawn by q
white horse and q black one drove up,
and the undertaken climbed down and
pressed the button below her name on
the row of call bells at the entrance.
She asked him what it meant. Think
ing she was some inquiring stranger,
the undertaken told her that he was
bringing home the body Of man who
had died on a train near the city
whence she had just come and that
the undertaken who had taken charge
of the body had forwarded 1t in com
pIiance with the dying mans request.
In a daze the woman asked the dead
mans name Then she fell fainting
to the floor. 1t was her husband
