Verdict of Justifiable Homicide.

Glendive.-A coroner's jury verdict
of justifiable homicide may stand be-
tween Ed Simms, of Jordan, and a
possible prosecution for murder. On
the other hand this verdict may be
robbed of it's usual significance be-
cause of the fact that the justice of
the peace who impaneled the jury was
not regularly deputized to act in the
county coroner's place.
The man shot by Simms was his
own nephew, William Wolfe. The ex-
act nature Of their previous trouble
is not known, but the shooting oc-
Cured at the Jake Mears ranch near
Jordan. Wolfe came there armed
with both rifle and six shooter look
ing for Simms. Wolfe fired at Simms,
but the latter, who is a crack shot,
fired first and shot Wolfe through
the heart.
Justice Gregory impaneled the jury
and after considering the facts the
verdict of justification homicide was
rendered.

Attorney Vertrees announced in con-

to impeach parts of CLAWS story by
the testimony of this witness. CLAWS

had made an affidavit denying all OF

Claws Motive is Sought.

coal land entries in Alaska when Sec.

slight change in the rules.

He said he thought he had given some
testimony favorable to Ballinger.
The examination had not gone along
very much further when the attorney
and the witness locked horns again on
the subject of direct answers. Yer

CLAWS always "ties a string to his an

He declared CLAWS had stated his pur

"He has no other motive than to tell
the TRUTH" shouted the lawyer. "He

"The treaty proposes to divide part
of the water of this river as we'll as

Canadians are to be given three
fourths of the water in st. Mary's

Thus, in 1903, wrote Robert Emmett,
from his prison cell. The letter was
cut short by the arrival of the guard
that was to conduct him to the scat
fold. His last words and thoughts
were for Sarah Curran, the lovely girl
who shared with Ireland the devotion
of his great heart. A biographer tells
in the following lines how utterly the
young patriots affection was recipro-
Gated by Miss Curran:
"She loved him with the disinter-

early love. When every worldly max
i'm arrayed itself against him, when
blasted in fortune and disgrace and
danger darkened around his name, she
loved him the more ardently for his
very sufferings."
Robert Emmett was an 1rishman OF
excellent family. From boyhood he
showed every promise of brilliant
future. At Trinity college, Dublin
where he was a

FOR WASHINGTON MEMORIAL.
Plan to Erect Building in Capital
City Given Impetus.

City 1Iven impetus
Washington, Feb. 19.-The plan to
erect a memorial building to Wash.
ington in this city received impetus
today at a meeting held under the
auspices of the George Washington
Memorial association. 1t was pre-
sided over by justice Harlan of the
supreme court and among the speak
ers who urged that the plan be car
ried out speedily were President Taft
and Senators Lodge and Hepburn.
The plans Of the association re
quire that a fund of $2,500,000 be
raised; 100000 of which will be de-
voted to the erection of the building
and the remaining 100000 to it's
maintenance. Certain sections of the
building will be turned over, free of
charge, to societies of patriotic, sci
entific or educational character for
their national and international con-
ventiohs. The Washington Academy
of Sciences and it's affiliated soci-
eties,and the National Academy of
Sciences are to have their permanent

morning as result of jurisdictional
labor dispute.
A committee representing the Inter-

the superintendent of the Amalgamat-

nounced that the jurisdiction of the
union must be recognized.
The committee also claimed juris-
diction over the pump men, compress
er men, f1remen and oilers.
Officers of the miners union say
that the Western Federation of Miners
would furnish enough engineers to
operate the mines and thus long
shutdown may be avoided.

The Fight Against Tuberculosis.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam.
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 1913 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed.
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
'a1s we're established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com.
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso-
Citations for the prevention of tubercu.
iosis were formed than during the pre-
vious IL months, and G. more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January 1, 1910, there were in the Uni
ted States 1874 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations, 3Se hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis

years his senior. Josephine was not
carried away by the same fervor.
When Napoleon proposed to her she
asked Barras' advice. Barras Che says
in his memoirs) told her Napoleon had
a promising future and advised her to
accept him. The couple were married.
Napoleon received from Barras the
command of the army of Italy and left
for the campaign almost at once after
his wedding. He was desperate at
parting from Josephine and wrote
wildly ardent love letters to her all
the time he was gone. He conquered
Italy in a whirlwind campaign and
was sent to Egypt. BY this time he
had heard that Josephine was consol-
ing herself for his absence by series
of daring flirtations.
Such rumors, as we'll as news of a
political crisis in Paris, sent Bona
parte hurrying back to France before
his work in Egypt was finished. Jo-
sephine failed to come to meet him on
his return. A stormy scene ensued,
after which Napoleon seems to have
realized how foolish had been his
blind love for his fighty wife. Yet
the two settled down to fairly pleas
ant existence together. Meanwhile
Napoleon forced himself to the high
est rung of the political ladder. He
became first con-
Empress a"o sui and then, in
vo'eeo' 1904, emperor of
France. With his own hands he
crowned Josephine. The former Gre
ole widow was thus empress of the
| worlds greatest nation. For Napoleon
brought nearly every other European
country to it's knees, browbeat kings,
bullied the pope and turned peaceful
lands into armed camps. He was the
'hold-up man" of Europe; a military
genius such as the world had never
| before known-lawless, invincible.
But he and Josephine had no chill.
dren He wished an heir to carry on
his own greatness. He also wished
to strengthen his position by royal
alliance. So, in $780, he calmly di
vorced Josephine and married the Aus,
trian emperors daughter, Marie Lou
ise He settled an annual income OF
! 100000 on Josephine and continued
always on friendly terms with her
Josephine won genuine admiration by
the patient dignity with which she
bore her fall from power. Her mis-
fortune, indeed, awoke such universal
pity that her earlier faults were large
ly forgotten. AS an empress she ha(
provoked ridicule. AS forsaken wife
she commanded public sympathy an(
respect.
Napoleon's marvellous luck forsool

Within few years he was shorn O.
