mated that not less than fifty thousand

"A tired little woman leading a
burro with a lopsided pack, came
down the mountain into Grizzly Gulch
camp a few days ago, and was In a
lew minutes transhgured into pitiful
heroine. Every man in the street
helped to undo the hEches which
fastened a plank coffin to the pack
saddle and carry IL into a house,
where the little woman, who had not
wept at all, cried her heart out over
the body or her husband. Her name,
she presently told her new friends,
was Mary Stribling. Her husband, p.
T.. Stribhng, a prospector, was killed,
and his partner badly hurt in q cave
in on their claim. She made the in
1ured man as comfortable as she
could, placed provisions where he
could reach them and then built the
coffin around her husbands body and
succeeded in getting 1t on the burrows
back. She walked twenty-four hours
with hardly a halt to reach Grizzly
Gulch, where her husband might be
buried with suitable rites. Aid was
sent to the injured man.
The treasury department on yes
terday began making deposits OF the
additional $50,000,000 government funds
that are to be placed with the banks in
the agricultural states to aid In the
movement of crops. The first deposits
were made in the reserve cities in the
southern states among which II Is un-
officially stated were Baltimore, Md;
Richmond, Va, Atlanta, Ga, and Mem
phis, Tenn, the three latter receiving
S75O,00o. The apportionment Of the
funds has been completed according to
information at the department. 1t was
stated unofficially that the next largest
deposits would be made with the ma
tional banks at Chicago, this being the
most important reserve city in the ag-
ricultural states. The largest deposits
are to be made In st. Louis, with Bal
timore second and New Orleans third.
No official announcement Of the exact
amount sent to those cities has been
made, but unofficially it has been learn
ed that Baltimore will receive between
$1,000, 900 and 100000 and that Chi
cago and st. Louis will divide In the
neighborhood Of $15,000,000.
Harry Thaw did not go to the
Connecticut coast and take yacht for
Europe, as was intimated he would
do. On the contrary he struck for the
Hartford and Connecticut River rail-
road and made for Canada. A New
Hampshire peace officer saw him on
the train. recognized him from the cuts
printed in the newspapers, followed
him to Canada and had him arrested
in a small town near Quebec. Thaw
admitted his identity TO the New
Hampshire official while still in the
United States; but claimed that he
could not be arrested, for the reason
that there were no charges against
him. Soon after his arrest, Thaw, who
had an American lawyer with him,
employed counsel in Canada, and sued
out 8 writ of habeas corpus. The
hearing was set for yesterday. The
general legal opinion was that Thaw
could not be extradited from Canada;
but there seemed to be no question
Of the fact that he could be deported
as an undesirable citizen, and 1t was
thought that he might be put back
into United States at the point in New
Hampshire where he crossed the line,
or he might be put back over in New
York state, in which latter case there
would be no trouble about the New
York authorities getting hold Of him.
- Charges have been made in the
senate against Judge Emory Speer of
the fifth Georgia Federal district,
looking to his impeachment. The most
serious charges preferred are included
in the following: That Judge Speer
unlawfully permitted the wasting or
dissipation Of bankruptcy estates that
came within his jurisdiction as a Fed
eral judge. That he presided in cases
in which his son-in-law was an attor-
ney on a contingent fee with full
knowledge that his decision would af-
feet the fee Of his son-in-law. That
he was guilty Of imposing unlawful
punishments for contempt in cases be-
fore his court. That he ignored the
mandates Of the circuit court Of ap-
peals and of the supreme court Of the
United States in certain cases. That
he was absent from his district when
he should have been attending to his
duties in court. That contrary to law,
he tried cases outside of his district
There were other charges relating to
what the judges accusers claim to be
arbitrary conduct, and one relating to
personal habits. All of these charges
have been matters Of common report
for a number of years and 1t Is con-
sidered probable that the house OF
representatives will soon agree upor
and present articles Of impeachment
