ing that an attempt had been
made 10 blow up her home and muir
der herself and six small children
Mary Robert. who lives at Salters
creek. appeared before Magistrate j.
wal ar Spcj.n yesterday and swore out
a warran, charging a woman named
Lawrence with the crime
The Roberts woman brought 10 the
Hampton Jail with her large STICK
eff wood. in which is embedded a II
gauge cartridge. which she claimed
the Lawrence woman inserted in the
wood. According TO Mary Roberts,
there has been bad feeling between
the two families and the Lawrence
woman has made threats against her.
Monday afternoon, so Mary Roberts
told Deputy Sheriff Charles c. Curtis
and Magistrate Smith. the Lawrence
woman brought the loaded sick OF
wood 10 the residence occupied by
Mary Roberts and PLACED it with other
wood. one of the little sons OF Mary
Roberts saw the Lawrence woman
when she put the wood on the pile
and. running outside, picked up the
lex. which later was found to con-
tain the big cartridge. II was said
that rad the woman put the loaded
wood ON a fire that the cartridge
would have blown up the house and
in that event Mary Roberts and her
children would likely have been blown
TO atoms.
The wood containing the live cart
ridge caused considerable interest to
a number of persons who saw it. and
if the story. of Mary Roberts turns out
10 he true. the se against the Law
renee woman will be a remarkable
che for this sec; ion.
magistrate Smith issued a warrant
against the Lawrence woman, charg.
ing her with attempting to blow up
the house OF Merry Roberts and also
with attempted murder.
Up o late hour last night the Law
renee woman had net beer arrested,
brt it is expected that the warrant
win be served upon her early today.
" the woman is taken into custody to-
day. Magistrate Smith eaid last night
that he will give her a preliminary
hearing tonight.

His name will not 20 to the Senate,

when the first announcement was made,
saying that there was no vacancy" He
has insisted all along that there is nc

The Backward Drift From
The Canadian Northwest.

Settlers are coming back from the
Alberta region of Canada faster than
they went in. Thousands of them
are turning their backs on a land
limited to the raising of alfalfa and
winter wheat, a land where the form
of government does not appeal to
them, where there is ice and snow in
August and railroad rates are ex-
orbitant.
Wherever and whenever the Am
orleans can sell without too great a
sacrifice they are doing so and re-
turning to take up lands in their own
beloved country. finding comforts
and contentment and opportunities
such as Canada does not offer. The
United States Reclamation Office al
Washington reports that $4,000
settlers have recrossed the frontier
and taken up abodes on this side of 1t

of 129 miles in making the 20 miles
between Laramie and Medicine Bow,
finally arriving at the latter place at
2 O'Clock in the morning.
Between Laramie and Rawlins
they encountered a creek with no
sign of a bridge. Miss Scott easily
crossed 1t and safely mounted the
bank on the other side, but the pilot
car clumsily ~ploughed its way to the
center of the stream and embedded
its wheels in the deep sands from
which it persistently refused to
bulge. 1t was Necessary to put into
use a block and tackle and after
three hours Miss Scott's car succeed
ed, with the united efforts of the en-
tire crew, in extricating 1t. The car
was not damaged. but several dis
positions were" said Miss Phillips,
who exhibited two blistered palms
which she acquired while on the job.
A novel experience, particularly
for those not familiar with the
changeable temperatures which cor1e
with different elevations in the noun
tains, av aited them between
Cheyenne and Laramie, where they

have no hats. Neither of us has worn
a hat one minute since leaving New
York. You know how it is with a
woman's hat nowadays. Where on
earth could We put them when We
wanted to take them off? And be-
sides we don't need them"
The trip was made as far as Lin
coin, Neb., IN ordinary clothes, tailor.
ed suits, shirt waists and pongee
silks, and so on, not even a buster
being worn. And this was a feature
for much comment among the people
of the central states, many of whom
came many miles in automobiles to
greet them, and all logged out in
automobile coats, wells and goggles.
At Lincoln they donned their flannel
waists, divided kakhi skirts and high
laced boots for the climb across the
Rockies.
After leaving New York they made
a stop in East Aurora and enjoyed 4
visit to the Roycroft Shop, where Mr..
Hubbard in his farewell to Miss
Scott, wishing her a pleasant trip
remarked, And if you think the
