> been unable to mako answer TO mys-
terious action brought by the W. w.
Mclaughlin Detective Agency to col
iAct Sl.70O for services rendered Mrs.
Shonts prior to Dec. ?s. 1911.
Justice Grecnbaum allowed Mrs.
shonts another month to nle an an
aver. provided she agree to secure Mr..
Mclaughlin at once for any amount he
nay recover in court. Otherwise. the
Court denies her application for stay
With 80 costs.
Attached to the application Is an AM
Aavit by ThomAs v. Mclaughlin. the
dstective's son. In which he states that
Q '1Grs. Nattsinger, sister Of Mr.. Luce,
tAs lawyer who engaged the detectives
for Mrs. Shonts," called him on the
tsiephone q short time ago and prom
issd that the bill would be paid as Mrs.
9honts was soon to benefit from the sale
Of stock In q corporation In which she,
Mrs. Nattsinger and Mr.. Luce were IN

Mrs.. Nattsinger admitted the bin was
lust and that Mrs. Shonts would be out
q her financial trouble by Fob. I.
MRS. eHoNTS SAID TO HAVE OF.

Mclaughlin were to work upon the
shen@ case" Mrs. Nattsinser also re-
cs1ved tho reports and communicated
Ms 6honts's orders to Mclaughlin
He says that previous bill for ''samiiir
services done In the matter for the de-
esndent." amounting to more than $500.
was paid promptly.
In support Of Mrs. Shonts's appeal Cor
aNelay Is an afYidavit OF DR.. J. Darwin
Nagel setting forth that the mother of
the Duchess de Chaulnes is "gravely
,ir' and that even a consultation with
her lawyer in the suit IL impossible be-
cause OF the patients extreme and dan
gerous condition.
The papers do not disclose in what
quest the detectives were enlisted. The
name of the traction magnate does not
appear In any Of the afiidavits.

DEADLY WOODTICK
BITES COLORADOMAN
Palisade Doctor Not Expected to
Live; Three Fatalities Are Re-
ported in Wyoming.

PALISADE, Colo, Juue 20 DR..
J. p. Roberts is believed-to I've dying
here as the result of bite of wood
tick. Attending physicians despair of
his life, declaring that he has a bad
case OF spotted fever. DR.. Roberts
was bitten five days ago while out
fishing. He paid but little attention
to the bite until the fever set in.
Three deaths caused. by bites from
this supposedly harmless insect have
been reported recently in Wyoming.
In each case spotted fever set in short
ly after the bite and nothing that
could be done checked the course of
the disease.
The deaths from spotted fever caused
by woodtick bites reported in Wyom-
ing were J. Nelson Clark, wealthy
oil man at Evanston; Kenneth McRae,
wool grower at Casper and Solomon
Brown of Thermopolis.
According to DR.. j. w. Amesse,
who was connected with the United
States public health service and who
mas Ilaue SpeSldl SeuoS VI uic Spot-
ted fever, the tick causing the disease
is not the common wood tick but arare
species found only in the mountain
states. He declares that cases of
death from this cause have been re-
ported before in this state and in
Wyoming, but that the cases have
never been SO numerous.
DR.. Amesse said that the germ ofthe
disease, which is similar to the typhus
germ, was contracted by the tick from
mountain animals. 1t has no effect
on the insect, but when transferred to
the human being it is deadly. No sue
cessful treatment is known. The only
measures recommended by the gov
ernment are 70 prevent an increase of
the insect.
The species of wood tick causing the
disease was first discovered at the gov
ernment barracks at Boise, Idaho, in
1896. The disease has been known
since 1873. The government has been
Investigating since 1907. O2.-Denyer
