Vaudeville Artist Claims Marriage With Royalty.
Since the fire In the dipping room at the Richmond Manufacturing company last week, which for a time threatened the entire establishment, the old agitation for the location of a hose house west of the river has been re
vived with renewed energy, by the residents of West Richmond and Fair-
view, who maintain that the territory
west of the river Is not. and cannot be protected by the hose companies to the
cast of the vfver. The fire department has been censur
ed bv the residents living near the
Richmond Manufacturing company's plant for not arriving upon the scene! earlier, saying that it took the ho-el companies fifteen minutes to reach the. scene of the fire after the alarm hal
been turned in. Owing to the situation of the fire in the factory, the flames could soon have spread and had It not been for the prompt action of the employes working in the dipping room this woul 1 have undoubtedly been the case. Had the flames spread, thousands of dollars worth of damage would
have been clone before they could have! jjjjrj Jfxjs, ShOWn belOW.
ueen cuckku. Not Ample Protection. In speaking of the location of a liose house west of the river and the immediate need of one, a prominent West Side resident said: "Under existing conditions it is impossible for the people of the West Side to receive ample fire protection. In the first place, the geographical situation of Nos. 1 and 2 hose houses, these two companies responding to fire alarms on the West Side, is a handicap to early arrivals on the scene of fires. No. 1 hose company is located on Tsorth Kighth street and has to make a run of fearful length to reach either West Richmond or Fairview. No.
located at the city building makes the Tim to the West Side via Fifth street, down the long hill, on D across the Doran bridge and then to the point from which the fire alarm is sent. Tho

which he has confessed had not been corroborated; that the Vindicator Mine explosion was an accident; that the Independence Depot explosion, where fourteen men were killed, was planned by K. C. Sterling and D. C. Scott, railroad detectives, and that the Pinkertons sent men into the district to join the unions. Borah Replies to Darrow. Senator Borah in his address in reply to Mr. Darrow said that counsel for the defense, in his opinion, claimed that a conspiracy existed between the Pinkerton detectives, the Mine Owners' Association and the Citizens' Alliance to drive the Western Federation of Miners out of Colorado, and that many of the crimes charged to the federation were, in fact, committed as incidents of the conspiracy to get rid of the union miners. It is believed a verdict will be reached within a week.

Heat, humidity and polsonea lemon
ade combined to make the Elks parade
more of a grewsome tragedy than a carnival of joy. Philadelphia paid $ir0,00( for the privilege of having the parade pass through its streets.
Nearly a million men, women and children were packed in a sweltering mass in Broad street to witness the spectacle. While the marchers passed
through the streets spectators were stricken down by the heat, fell to the ground until Broad street looked like a battlefield after a cavalry charge.
And then after the heat and hu
midity had done their worst there came a terrific downpour of rain which
while it drenched tens of thousands to the skin, put an end to the havoc of the sun's rays.

Boise. Idaho, July 19. A day of ar
gument on the admissibility of points of evidence followed the announcement from the defense that they hsd no further witnesses to offer in behalf William D. Haywood. The jury
was not brought into court. Judge Wood having been informed by council of their decision to rest without
offer of sur-rebuttal.
Clarence Darrow spoke for an hour
and a half of the morning sesnou.
Senator Borah replied in the after
noon and was followed by E. F. Richardson.
The point argued was the proposition to exclude from consideration by the jury the evidence offered by the defense to show, by proof, the deportation of miners from and the employment of detectives in the Cripple Creek district of Colorado; that a conspiracy was formed among the mine owners and citizens of the district to prevent the employment of members of the Western Federation of Miners.
The position taken by the Haywood j tbat ppjnt
defense was that Harry Orchard was employed by the Mine Owners' Association through detectives to commit crimes which were then charged to the federation and public opinion aroused against the union workers, and It therefore followed that if Colorado evidence for the state was admitted, the defense had the right to show a counter conspiracy. State Makes Reply. The reply of the state was that the defense had failed legally to connect their case in the particulars, and, therefore, their evidence merely confused the Issue. In the absence of the Jury the argument gave counsel an opportunity to take a wide range in commenting on the methods employed by both sides. Mr. Darrow was impassioned and vituperative. He bitterly assailed Orchard and the Pinkertons. He maintained that Orchard's story connecting Haywood and the Western Federation of
Miners with, the ..various crimes.

which was promptly cut short by Judge Converse who told him that he did not care to hear his praise or the praises of the other court attaches sounded. All he wanted to see Jim do was imitating a man leaving dear old Wayne county for good. Jordan again promised to leave. The man was taken by Sheriff Meredith to the interurban station and there a ticket to Indianapolis was purchased for him. Before leaving Jim tried to make a "touch" off a couple of acquaintances, but was turned down. "Not until I can return as a man will you ever see me here again." was Jordan's farewell message to Sheriff Meredith.

Recently an lew wagon In attempting to cross Rldgo Etreet got its wheels caught In the car tracks and the horses were unable to dislodge it from Its position.

It is probable that the grand Jury will

Has Threatened Suicide. Will Fisher face the bar of justice for the murder of his wife Mary? This question is considered seriously by fome people who know Fisher and have read his communications sent to his wife during his recent confinement In Jail for insulting a white woman at the corner of Eighth and Main streets. The-letters are now in the hands of a
well known business man of Richmond
and they show that Fisher contemplated killing himself if hi3 wife's attitude toward him was not changed, and it is the opinion of those who know Fisher and have read these letters, that he will commit suicide at the earliest opportunity rather than fare the court for the murder of his wife and take chances on getting bung or sent to prison for life, the two sentences possible if he faces the court. In the letters written to his wife he says that he heard of her actions with other colored men and begged and pleaded with her cot to desert him and lpave him suffering in Jail. He said
he loved her and wanted her to act "square" while he was confined and stated that be was worrying himself to death over her actions. He said In one of his letters: "I think you have forsaken me and I wish I was dead and all you have to do is to keep worrying me more and I expect I will be found hanging In my cell some morning, for I have thought of doing It time and time again." Owing to Fisher's reported actions in jail at the present time, brooding the most of the time, it Is feared he will do himself bodily harm since he has learned that his wife ia dead from the
