Mrs. Kohne also testi fied that on the day of Haider's trial for perj iry she carried a bulldog revolver concealed in her drets, sud that she carried the pistol because she had heard that Haider had n>ade threats of lujurine her; that when Justice Von Tobol de cided the case in favor of Haider, the latter waa directed by his attorney to taka his wife; that bsaccordingly seized her by the arm and raised fcer frorn her chair; that Haider persisted, in ■pit* of her remonstrances, In his attempts to take her daughter away, and that then her laemory left her and ahe had no recollection of irfcat happened afterward.

THE CHARGES AGAINST HUNT. Kellogg Accuses Hun of False Pre tenses— Fire Commission to Act. Ex-Cbiel of the Department tiardner Kellogg yesterday followed up Ms statements of Tues day regarding A. B. Hunt's citizenship by de claring that the naturalization papera were ob tained under false pretenses. The facta of the case will now be brought out iu aa official man utr before the fi-o commissioners, for at tho next meeting Commissioner Kana ey will sub mit questions to Chief Hunt that will embody the charges already published and ask for rea sons why he should not be deposed from the position of chief on the ground of being aa alien. In an interview with a PosT-INTkLi.iotKCER re Dorter yesterday Gardner Kellogg not only re iterated his former statements, but added: Hunt, in his application before Judge Bev crly, of the superior court of Pierco comity, states that "he is a native of Canada an 1 has resided in the L nited Stites of America three years next preceding his arriving at the age of years, and has continued to so reside to the pre-ent time." This is the exact language of his certificate, aud on the strength o; this state ment Hunt was admitted to cit.zenship. This would all he well if such were the facts, but t.ie true facts are that H.int was not a resident of the I'nited etstea during the whoie period named in bis statement to Julge Beverly. Hunt is \ii vears old next April, according to his owu statement. So, to have been in the United states three year* before he arrived at the age of 21 he must have been in this country during the years 1878, IsSQ aud 18SL iiuut was not in the United States during those year*. He was at that time in Canada, married in Canada, raised a fam.iy iu Canida, aud h.s family on.y left Canada for the United Mates in the latier part of trie year 1890. His children. the oldest 7or 8 yeurs, on his arrival here bad never set foot on American soil until they left Canada to loiu their fattier here. Hunt himself only came to America iu April, IXB9. bo his statements to Judge Beverly, on which his citizeuship i at.ers were issued, were fraudulent It not so, why does not .Mr. Hunt now sav so? It is certainly easy for htm to prove his resi dence iu America, if he ever had oue, but, never having had one, he is mute. Aud he need not speak." The proof will be forthcoming—docu mentary evidence, to prove his residence in Canada during the whole time be claimed a res ilience in America. Will Hunt dare to deny that he was married in Canada? Will he dare deny that his children were born in Canada? Will he dare deny that wr.ien lirst bis little children came into the engine house he introduced them as little "Canucks?" Uet Mr. Hunt speaa tor himself; let liiin deny tb->se statements pub liciy; they are facts the public huve a right to know. Siience will not avail him. The truth is, he was a native of Canada, was educated in Canada, attained his majority in Canada, was a member of the lodge of Odd Fel lows in Canada, married in Canada, raised a family of children in tana .a, was a member of a oi;e-hor*u volunteer fire company in Canada, voted i:i Canada and was a resident of Canada until lsV\ when lie came to this state. Ljt Mr. Hunt make oath to the contrary if he dares. hire Commissioner Kahaiey was seen by a POST-INTKLUGKNCKB reporter last evening and asked il he could state definitely whether or not there would be auy official action taken by the fire commissioners in regard to the reports about Chief Hunt. He replied: 1 his thing has gone so far that I shall take it up in justice to the people. At the next meet ing of the commissioners 1 shall k*». Cine* Hunt questions pOrtinent to this matter, and expect that his answers will either show him to be a citizen oi the t'nited states or of Canada. The matter will then reduce itself to a point of proof. "l>o you know anything about a combine to oust Hunt and put in (ieorge Marlow, ex-as sistant chief?" was asked. "It" there has been such a deal I know nothing about it," was the reply. ItIODLEY HAD TO PAT THE COSTS. He Forgets About Iteing Hohiied by the Festivo Laura Williams. The esse against Laura Williams, a Now Zealand house dance ha'.l woman, who was ar rested ou a charge of stealing l.'l.iy in cash and a diamond pin, valued at |4;>, from Edward Riddiey, was dismissed yesterday by Justice Humphrey on the testimony of the prosecuting witness, who seemed to have suddenly lost all recollection of the case ou trial. When Kiddley was put on the stand he declared that he to the complaint when drunk Hnd, in inct. had been on such a protracted spree that he ha J lost all recollection oi the amonut of money he had, whether or not ho lost a diamond piu and the exact time he was with the defendant. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Winstock at first looked surprised at (he witness' forgetfulness and then as-ked the justice to dismiss the case and charge the co*ts to the complaining witness. A de cision was rendered iu conformity with this re q licit and Kiddley paid %J*. There seems to tie no doubt that Riddley is the son of a wealthy merchant in New York city, but love of ltyuor and women have led bun into bad ways. He took part in a wrestling match at the People's theater a short time ago tinder the name of Frank Smith and was com pletely at the mercy of his opponent, " Italian Frank." lie Is Not a Keeley (iratluale.

She Harriea After to See film Lyin( Mangled on the Ground—Cause of the Fatal Step. Willard D. Williams, the S'vyear-old »on of A. J. Willifhis, janitor of the Seattle National Bank building, was killed yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock by failing from the back porch of the Baxter block, at the corner of Yesler avenue and South Fifth atreet, to the ground, a distance of between thirty and forty feet. The little fellow ■truck upon his head face down, crushing hi* skull. Although insena.bi# the child lingered •ome minutes, moaning in a pitiful manner. A. J. Williams and his family, consisting of a wife and two children, live iu rooms in the rear of the Baxter biock. This b.ock laces on South Fifth street and the rear looks down into the vac.nnt lot, a part of which was to have been oc cupied by the theater that has never been built. Across the back of the building are porches con nected with each other by steep stairs. Count ing from the ground tho Williams family lived on the third floor. Below them lived the Kucz family, whose little boy, Arthur, played with the Williams child. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Williams bought a new coot stove and bad it setup. After this was done he said goodbye to Willard, who seemed greatly pleased with tha addition to the furniture, and bis wife, and went back to his work at the bank building. He had left the house but a few minutes when Wiilard wanted to go down stairs aud te.l his playmate, Arthur Kunz, all aDor.t the stove. The littie felicw opened the kitchen door lend ing to the porch auJ started for the stairs. His mother was standing at the window and, as he started down, thought of the danger and went after him. She was too late, however, for when on the second stair the chili stumbled and fell headioug out into space. Iu its descent to the ground the little body turned over twice and struck upon a board flooring face dowu, the force coaling on the head. When the mother reached the railing aud looked ovor for her child, she saw him stretched out upou the dirt-covered boards quivering in death strugcies. She rushed dowu the stairs, but a stranger reached the little form ahead of her aud carried it upstairs and placed it on a bod. The child moaned but gave n > answer to the grief-stricuen mother's cries. Word was im mediately scut to the lather aud to Drs. Bailey and I'nlmer. The physicians arrived before life was extinct, but could do nothing to save it. When the father came the little one lay upon the bed. dead. The parents are grief-stricken and have made uo arrangements for burying tho remains. Coroner Hot ton investigated the case last night an l will bot hold an inquest. Mr. Williams aud family came here from Kansas City about three years ago. A DANGEROUS ROADWAY. Another llorae and Wagon Fall Victims on Commercial Street. Another horse and wagon tumbled off the Commercial street roadway over the tide flats Tuesday. The horse was drowned and the wagon badly damaged. They belonged to the Puget Sound Hteam Laundry Company. The driver was turning the horse around and it backed too far, running the wagon clear over the edge of the roadway, and as it went down tho animal was carried with it. The driver only escaped by jumping off when he realized that tho tvagon ■was going over. Assistance soon catne, but the horse was dead before it could ba gotten out. The accident occurred between Piummer nud Norman street.". Horses enough have been lost off this roadway since it was built to almost pay for keeping it in first-class condition, had they been sold and the money applied in that way. All that is re quired is the putting up of a good, substantial railing along the sides. Several claims for dam ages are now pending arainst the city for its negligence in. not providing these safeguards. It is really dangerous for a person to waik along tbere ou a dart night, for there is nothing to prevent his falling into the water should he stumble over some obstruction near the edge of the planking. WATER 8U I'PLT FOK OKI I.LI A. Pur* Spring From the Hill Provides It —lron in the Klver. The Orillia Water Company, which was in corporated lest week, is intended to suppiy spring water to the town of Orillia and the farmers along the valley in that neighborhood. William Cochrane, P. C. Hayes, Duncan Mc- Pougail and Martin Nelson havo bought from Julius Mess a spring on the hill between the river and the Bound and will pipe the water from it to the valley, where it will be us«d for household purposes, for thj stock and in the hop houses. A number of other farmers In the vicinity have taken stock in the company, so that it is a sort of co-operative enterprise. Mr. Cochrane said yesterday in explaining the rea sons for seeking a water supply from the hill: The river witer is too full of iron, and !n the summer, when we want water most, it is too muddy. If you put a sheet of iron in the water and leave it in lor any length of time you find it full of holes. lhe well water is not even a.s good as the river water, lor it boils rod with the iron it contains.
