Bail Fixed at $4,000 After
Bitter Fight; Parks
Resists.
WIFE MAY LEAVE
TOWN, IS REPORT
Said to Be Anxious to Get
Separation From Her
Husband.

Thompson Falls. Feb. 5.-Special.-
Arthur Soule. pioneer Sanders county
rancher. pleaded self defense tonight
when he was arragned before Justice
of the Peace w. G.. Adams for the mur-
der of Ben Soule. his nephew. two
weeks ago.
The old man admitted killing his
young relative, but declared that he
acted in self defense. He entered Il
plea of not guilty and waived prelimi-
nary hearing. Prosecutor Wade
Parks will take the case to the district
court today.
The prosecutor and A. S. Ainsworth,
counsel for the defense. engaged in a
bitter controversy at the hearing over
the matter of bail. Parks fought to
have Soule held in jail, but Justice
Adams finally admitted the defendant
to bail in the sum of $4,000.
If Soult furnishes the bail as he is
expected to do, Parks will take the
matter before the district court, he
said tonight. Judge Theodore Lentz
of Missoula opens court here tomorrow
Nothing was said at the hearing to-
night about the suspicious which the
elder Soule first offered as the reason
for the fatal duel. The relations be
tween the young man and Mrs. Arthur
Soule were not mentioned.
Mrs. Soule, who has already sworn
that her husband started the fight in
his nephew's cabin, is reported upon
good authority, to be seeking a sepera
ton and financial settlement from heI
husband in order that she may leave
Thompson before the trial.
She and her husband. it is said. came
to Thompson about a week before the
killing to arrange a separation. but de-
cided to wait. They have had do
mestic difficulties before, Soule having
sued three men for alternating his wife's
affections several years ago. Tht
elder Soule is reputed to be wortf
about 0,U00. He has been ranchel
here for nearly half a century.
Mrs. Soule's story was that her hus'
band entered Ben's cabin with a guI
in his hand and without a word aimee

the trigger When the gun failed Il

He ran out of doors then, but Arthu

cording to the wife, he rushed upol
his victim and. despite prayers 70

barrel of his rifle.

thrown at the imperial palace in
Berlin by strikers Saturday eve
ming, according to Berlin advices
received here from Berne. Kaiser
Wilhelm was supposed TO be in the
palace at the time and IL 10 be-
leved that the attempt was made
on his life.
II was not learned whether the
bomb exploded Immediately af-
ter the attempt % persons were
arrested by the Berlin police and
troops stationed near the palace.
This is the first bomb attempt
on the kaiser that has become pub
lie and it Is interpreted here as an
indication of the bitter feeling held
hy the strikers against the govern

According To late advices the
strike situation is dying out in
many quarters in the German en-
pirr. although reports continue 70
arrive Of discomfort being mani
tested by small uprisings among
the working classes.
This feeling has extended to the
German troops in Flanders and re-
ports have been received that the
