Great Anxiety Expressed.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Colon, Colombia, Nov. 5.--9jo0 . m,.
Much anplety prevails in all quarters here
today. It is recognized that the crew of
the Nashville would be quite inadequate
to cope with the situation ashore should
serious disturbances occur, and the arrival
of the Dixie is anxiously awaited. It is
hoped she will reach Colon soon, but there
is no knowledge of what may occur before
that. The Nashville is now preparing to
again land a detachment of blue jackets.
The commotion ashore is intense.
Gen. Pompillio Guterez, one of Colonm
bia's best generals, arrived here today
front Cartagena on board the Austrian
steamer Jenny. This has intensified the
situation imnmensely.
No good results followed the confer.

WITH CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
MR. TOOLE DOES NOT SAY
WHAT HE MEANS TO DO
Another Petition, Asking for a Special
Session of the Legislature, Is Being
Circulated Today Among the
Business ,Men.
SPR('IAL. TO TIlE INTER IMOUlNTAIN.
Helena, Nov. S.-So far as action by
the governor on the petitions for a special
legislative session is concerned, there is
literally nothing doing at the executive
office today.
That the governor has not yet made up
his mind on the sutject is the latest ad
vice which comnes from the state house
this afternoon.
The chief event of the (lay in the shut
down situation was the arrival of delega
tions from Butte, Anaconda and Great
Falls, representing the business interests
of those cities, to urge (;overnor Toole,
in the interests of the state's well being
and prosperity, to call the extra session.
The Great Falls committee was to have
arrived early this morning, but it was on
the delayed Great Northern train and only
reached the city at a p. nm. Sometime
after that it went out to the state house
to have its interview with hie state's chief
executive.
The Butte delegation arrived earlier in
the day and went out to the state house
shortly after a o'clock. The Butte business
men in the party were A. F. Bray, W. 1).
Thornton. J. ID. Slemmons, D. J. Charles,
W. D. Horgan, Henry Mueller, Dr. T. J.
Murray, Andrew J. Davis and R. H. Pax
son.
(;overnor Toole received the party in
his office and had a conversation of some
length with the various members, but did
not commit himself one way or another
as to his intentions.
The Anaconda delegation had an inter
view later.
Similar delegations from the business
interests of Missoula and Bozeman are
expected today or tomorrow to call on the
governor for the same purpose.

today that four men had held him up last
night as he was driving home. lie said he

When he told them who he was the would

they were after someone they had heard would

HEINLE AND MEN
UP FOR CONTEMPT
CITED TO APPEAR BEFORE FEDERAL
COURT IN MONTANA CAPITAL
TO ANSWER CHARGES.
TWO ORDERS ARE VIOLATED
Judge Knowles Characterizes Offense
as Serious in Setting Matter for
Trial in Helena.
That F. Augustus Hteinze and his dyna
miters have for once prestumed too muoch
upon the leniency of the courts of this
state was shown this mtorning when the
leinze attorneys appeared in the United
States courts and asked that a stay of
execution of the order of survey be
granted.
The proceedings that developed during
the hearing were sufficient to cost
vince the court that Heinze had not only
ignored the court's order, but had been
guilty of most outrageous disregard for
the order of injunction covering the terri
tory in dispute in the Michael Devitt
claim.
Former Governor Smith appeared for
the Johnstown company antd requested a
stay of execution of the order of survey
as ninde applicable to that branch of the
,M. O. I'. company, as they wished to apply
to the United States court of appeals for
a writ of certiorari.
Affidavits Read.
Immediately after Mr. Smith had made
his request for a stay of execution, Mr.
Forhis, representing the Butte & Boston
eonlmpany, read three affidavits certifyhit
to the dynamiting of the entrances to the
Michael Devitt.
"We have heen accused of doing the
dynamiting, your honor, and if it Is true
we should be severely punished," said Mr.
Forbis.
"This is a serious matter," said the
court. "It involves the violation of this
court's order. It is not necessary for the
court to make any threats as to what it
will do, but I will transfer this case to
Helena, where this question will be heard.

HAS FILED ANSWER
TO THE SUl BY
H, H, HANSEN
Dolman Says Doctor Is to
Blame for Death of
Mrs. Belcher.
A sensational answer was 'fled today byL'
the defendant in the suit of Dr. H. H.
Hansen against Carroll G. Dolman, the
young lawyer, as administrator of the es
tate of 'Ella E. Belcher, deceased. Han
sen sued Dolman to recover $5oo, which
he alleged was owing to him for medical
and surgical services rendered the de
ceased, Mrs. Belcher.
The answer denies the debt, and charges
Hansen with fraud and deceit. It says that
Hansen did not perform $Soo worth of
medical or surgical services or any serv
ices at all.
The answer says that Mrs. Belcher had
cancer on the 8th of July, )goz, and that
she employed Hansen as a surgeon and
physician to attend -her; and that the lat
ter agreed to pay all hospital fees in the
case.
The complaint adds that it was neces
sary to remove by a surgical operation the
parts affected by the cancer, and that
Hansen agreed to do that, but that he
made a "pretended surgical operation"
upon Mrs. Belcher, but "failed and re-.
fused to remove" the parts.
It continues with the allegation that
Hansen "wrongfully and fraudulently
stated and represented to the said E. E.
Belcher and the said B. B. Belcher, that
he, the said Hansen, had by the said pre
tended surgical operation" removed the dis
eased parts from the body of Mrs. Bel
cher, "when in fact the said Hansen had
not removed the said parts or any part
thereof from the body of IMrs. Belcher."
The defendant goes on to allege that the
removal of the diseased parts from the
body of Mrs. Belcher "was a part of the
necessary surgical operation which the said
Ii. H. Hansen agreed to perform as herein
alleged, and that by reason of the failure
and negligence of said plaintiff to com
plete and carry out his agreement as afore
said, the said disease increased and the
said cancer spread to other parts and por
tions of the body of the said E. E. Bel.
cher, during the time she was under the
smedical and surgical care and treated by
the said Hansen and subsequent to the
said 8th day of July, 9go2, and that the
said failure and negligence of the plaintiff
to perform the said necessary surgical
operation on the said E. E. Belcher, this
defendant is informed and believes, and
therefore alleges the fact to be, caused the
death of the said E. E. Belcher, and she
died on or about the loth day of January,
1903."
The complaint says that Hansen failed
and refused to pay the hospital fees.
As a second cause of action the com
plaint alleges that Hansen was engaged
by B. 3B. Belcher to attend upon Mrs. Bel
cher as a physician and surgeon, and that
his "pretended" services greatly added to
her suffering.
It also says that Mrs. Belcher had prop
erty of the value of $8,ooo, and that while
she was sick, Hansen induced her to make
a will to his advantage, and that when she
grew better she had to make a new will In
order to dispose of her property as she de
sired to do.
It adds that this greatly added to her
physical and mental exertions, "all caused,
by the fraud of the said H. II. Hansen,",'
and "hastened the decline and death of the 4
said E. E. Belcher."
The defendant asks that the suit of Dr.
Hansen be dismissed, and that he be al- I
lowed his costs. Attorney Thomas Morrin
represents Dolman,
BUTTE CHARACTER
OVER THE OIYVIDE
MRS. CHARLOTTE KNOWLTON,
FEMALE LETTER CARRIER, IS
GONE TO REAP REWARD.
WELL KNOWN ABOUT SECTION
Rialp or Snow, Cold or Hot, She Mounted
Her Wagon and Carried Mail to
Suburbs of the Camp.
iMrs. Charlotte W. Knowlton, who for
a number of years has been in the employ
of the government as mail carrier between
butte, Walkerville and Mteaderville, died,
yesterday morning between ia and sa
o'clock of pneumonia.
Mrs. Knowlton was well and strong Sun
The Late Mlr. Charlote ... Know.ton.
It day and performed her duties as usual, hut
o on her return home at the endt of the day,
1. she complained of being ill. She went It
bed and rapidly became .worse until the
end camile.
TMrs. Knlowlton was lornl in 'anadtla near
Lake Megog. in May, . ia.tut, ad carue to
Montana with her husbndll in iH85. She
came of good old Scotch stock and was :1
woman full of vigor and industry.
Left a Widow.
When her husband, Alfred Knowlton,
died in t892, Mrs. Knowlton was left with
a family of three to care for.
She secured the contract for carrying
the mails between Burlington, \'alhervillc
and Meaderville, and had been eingaged inl
that occupation for about nine years.
There are many people in this city who
) will remember Mrs. Knowlton as, clad ii
furs on bitter cold wintry dlays. shll would
mount her wagon and start out for the
cheerless dtive to the little town of Bitur
lington. Snow or rain, she never disaii
pointed the eager watchers for mail a;t tllh
little postoflice when Blurlington was ImIti,
bered among the silver camps of the state.
When that postoflice was disconktillcd
after the silver panie Mrs. Knolwltoin re
tained the Meaderville and Walkerville
routes, and later carried the mail to the.
Nine Mile house and that vicinity. Of
late she had been only serving the towns
of Meaderville and Walkerville.
She Relied on Herself.
Mrs. Knowlton never sought help
from any one in caring for her bushiness
and fed and hitched her own horse whnc
she started out mornings.
It is said of Mrs. Knowlton that she felt
the responsibility of her position, and
many tines when on the road with the
mail would not turn out, but dermanled the
right of way for her equipage loaded with
the United States mail.
One day as she was turning into the
alley back of the postoflice on a fast trot,
a Chinaman started out of the alley with
his wagon. Mrs. Knowlton immediately
produced her police whistle antd blew the
signal for a right of way. The China
man thought he was up against it, and
baeked his horse through the alley for the
distance of a block.
Many times while on the road her horse
has run away and smabhed things, but thit:
mail was never late.
Last Female Carrier.
With the death of this lady goes the last
female mail carrier in the state. Mrs.
Knowlton's record is the longest of any
known woman carrier in the West, anl,
there have been few instances in the United
States where mail routes have been served
by a woman.
Mrs. Knowlton leaves three children,
one a son, Alfred, who lives at a233 ast
Silver street, the late home of the de
ceased; Mrs. George W. Smith of Dawson
City, Alaska, and Mrs. C. D. Estcy of San
Francisco.
Mrs. Knowlton was held in high esteem
by all who knew her, and her calling,
though of a vigorous, trying nature, had
not removed the inbhorn tender sympathies
of womanhood, and she was a devoted and
kind mother. At the postoftice she was
held in high favor by all who knew her,
and there is general regret at her demise.
The funeral will take place tomorrow at
it a. n. from the family residence.
