Lillis, president Of the Western Ex-
change bank, was mutilated with
knife early Sunday morning when
John P. Cudahy, son Of the wealthy
Omaha packer, came home and found
him with Mrs. Cudahy. His wounds,
while severe, are not dangerous, but
he will be SCARED for life.
Cudahy Is Arrested.
Jack Cudahy, who was arrested by
a policeman who rushed into the home
after Mrs. Cudahy had appealed for
aid, was given continuance and will
be tried next Monday on charge of
disturbing the peace. He is under q
SOL bond.
Mrs. Cudahy, in an interview, de-
clared that she and Lillis had been
automobiling, had taken dinner at the
Baltimore hotel, which was common
affair for them. He had taken her
home and she had asked him to come
into the house. She said that they
were seated in the library Of the
home, casually discussing common
places, when her husband, accompa-
MED by his chauffeur, Johann Moss,
had appeared from practically no
where. They attacked Mr.. Lillis,
bound and gagged him, and Mr.. Cuda-
by, whom she declares is of a jealous
nature, proceeded to carve him with
a big butcher knife. Where he got the
knife she did not know. She was
afraid that he would murder Lillis, for
whom she has very sincere regard,
and she called for a policeman. This
Is practically all of her story.

Bit by bit the story of betrayal, jeal-
ousy and revenge assumed tangible
form, as it was told by one of Cuda-
hy's attorneys. Included in it is the
narrative Of an old suspicion which
grew upon the husband until he set a
trap.
Into this trap late Saturday night
Jere Lillis walked. Then the husband
and a trusted employee seized him and
bound him with rope.
Aiming himself with carving knife
Cudahy proceeded coolly to slash his
rival, while, Mortified. Mrs. Cudahy
looked on and mingled her pleadings
with the groans of Lillis.
Johann Moss, chauffeur, who aided
Cudahy, has escaped and cannot be
found.

in clearing the Canadian Pacific track
in Rogers pass at the summit of the

away the debris of a smaller slide
which occurred in the Arrow valley of
Bear creek, f1anked on either side by
precipitous mountains covered with 8
depth of snow varying from twenty to
fifty feet. While the men were trapped
in this valley the second avalanche
descended. It started on the side of
the canyon opposite the point where
the first slide occurred.
The avalanche piled on top of the
first slide, burying the tracks for q
distance Of a quarter of mile around
to depth Of SO feet. Hundreds Of
thousands of tons of other debris in
the wake Of the avalanche bounded of
the huge heap and half filled the val
ley of Bear creek, hundreds Of feet
below.
The news of the disaster was flashed
by a lone telegraph operator at way
side station a mile distant. AS soon
as the news reached Revelstoke and
Calgary relief trains conveying physi-
clans and nurses and over 1875 railway
men and other citizens were speeding
to Rogers pass. The bodies of many
Of the victims were probably swept
into the canyon and may not be re-
covered until summer melts the snow.
Six hundred men are now digging out
the track.

 President Towle stated last night that personally he was in favor of having the chamber of commerce make good the check, but that he would leave the matter entirely up to the board of gov ernors and the executive committee.
 According to President Towle, the chamber of commerce check book is missing and it is supposed to be in Rohrabacher possession.
 As yet no examination has been made into the chamber of commerce accounts, but as President Towle kept a fairly close check on all accounts, it is not believed that any irregularities will be found, unless it should develop that not all of the money collected by Rohra- bacher was deposited.
 As yet no steps have been taken to- ward securing a secretary to succeed Rohrabacher, but it is probable that the executive committee of the chamber will take some action in this matter during the present week.

"Hymen" was daily visitor at the inn to get his "dram,'' and at times became thoroughly shocked at "Ben $" outrageous language and manners.
 ,"Ben," one evening joined the town boys in an exciting game of football on Main street, became overloaded and cooling off too quickly, went into pneu. monia att night. Several physicians who attended him, soon pronounced his case hopeless. A dozen or more of Ben 's'' friends, among them "Hy men," were standing around the bed just before "Ben s" spirit took its flight from earth, when ''Ben uttered long groan and said: 70 Lord have mercy on me.

 At this moment "Hymen" turned his head slowly and remarked: ''De good Lord ought to take ''Ben right now, for lie never be so good, nc more. '-National Monthly.

All Enthusiastic Over I'm portant Work of Deter

After an entirely satisfactory trip throughout the southern part of the ter ritory, Census Supervisor F. F. Towle returned to this city last night to direct the taking of the present census from his office in this city.
 ''I encountered the greatest measure of success on this trip that anyone could have had" said Mir. Towle last night, beaming with satisfaction. "The spirit with which the enumerators throughout the southern part of the territory are taking hold is something to make me proud of the position hold with the census bureau and from every indication Arizona will have one of the most complete enumerations of any state or territory in the union.
 During my trip l met some sixty enumerators and talked with them per sonally, concerning their work and the manner in which they were to conduct their part in taking the census. While many of the enumerators had some fear that the work might be very difficult, an explanation of the work in an in formal manner, mainly in response to their questions, dispelled this atmos- phere of uncertainty and I do not be- lieve that there is one enGmerator in the southern part of the territory who does not thoroughly understand the work and who will not give entire satis- faction.
 "ThrOugh the northern part of the territory, which was unable to visit, special agents explained the work per. sonally to the enumerators, in much the same manner that I did and from the reports which are being turned in, the enumerators in all parts of the tern tory have taken hold of the work with the enthusiasm which will make this census a decided success in Arizona.
 During his trip Mir. Towle visited Stafford, Benson, Bisbee, Douglas, Fair banks, Tombstone, Nogales, Tucson and Yuma, in their order, making hurried visit to Los Angeles before returning to Globe.

PERJURY |S CHARGE AGAINST WITNESS
 FOR REESE
Man Thought to Be His Ac- complice Held to Next

Special to the Silver Belt.


 SOLOMONVILLE, April 16. - Charged with perjury in connection with testimony given in the case of King Reese, acquitted on a charge of horse stealing, II. O. Miller was ordered placed in custody by Judge E. w. Lewis today and held to await the action of the next grand jury.
 Miller was the chief witness for the defense in the Reese trial and is be- lieved to be an accomplice of the al legged thief. He is wanted in Silver City for horse stealing at the present time.
 Although acquitted, Reese was rear rested be~ore he was allowed to leave the courtroom, warrants charging him with similar offenses having been re- ceived from Pinal and Gila counties and New Mexico. He was turned over to Deputy Sheriff McMurray of Globe.
 Thomas WaddIA, self-confessed mur- derer of J. P. Lindsey, whose second confession yesterday created so much excitement here, declined to plead when brought into court today, stating that he preferred not to plead either way. The court directed that a plea of not RullIy Ut tultItu. Ht Cdot Nbi piVpd- bly, be tried Monday.
 Charged with having criminally as saulted Rhoda Dodge, a seventeen year old girl, Michael Levy was on trial to- day.
 The complaining witness testified that she met Levy at number of dances in the Pima district and became ac- duainted with both him and his wife, who is station agent at Pima.
 Later she went to the Graham noun tains on camping trip with the Levys. During this trip she claims that she and Levy became intimate, condition which continued for some time. She was about sixteen and one-half years of age at that time.
 The complaining witness sprung some thing of surprise in court by .testi- flying that Mrs. Levy attempted to persuade her to use medicine to prevent her from becoming mother.
