MOTIVES FOR
THE MURDER
Prosecution of Luetgert
to Close With Strong
Evidence.
*„
Infatuation for a Seivant-Girl
a Cause for Getting Rid
of a Wife.
Colls Tightening- Abouttha Accused
Sausage-Maker, Who Is Anxious
to Address the Jury;
CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 17.— The prosecu
tion will rest its case in the Leutpert trial
to-morrow, after three weeks given to the
presentation of evidence against the pris
oner and four weeks spent In the trial.
The prosecution will close its case with
some strong evidence tending to prove
'.tie motive for the crime. The State will
endeavor to show that infatuation for
Mary Siemmering, the servant-girl in the
Luetgert household, was the cause for the
murder. It will be claimed that the big
sausage-maker desired to make the girl
his wife, and that he put Mrs. Luetgert
out of the way- to permit lira marriage
with the girl. To prove this story Frank
Bialk and Frank Odorofsky, employes of
Luet*ert, who have already testified in
tbe cafe, will be put upon the stand ami
will give eviaence relating to the domestic
affairs of the Luetgerts. They are ex
pected to testify as to the friendliness of
Luetgert Tor Miss Mary Siemmeiing and
the indignant opposition to the girl's
presence in the house made by Mrs. Luet
gert.
The frequent visits of Mary Siemmering
to Luetgert in the sansaee factoiy a: un
usual hours of the night will be detailed.
Both men will tell of seeing Luetgert
chase his wife noon one occasion with a
revolver, and they will tell of threats
which they heard him make. With this
evidence in the State will rest. To-day
was given up to technical evidence, and
there was little of interest in Ihe iriai for
the outsider.
When the trial opened to-day the cross
examination of Professor Uorsey was re
sumed. He was questioned as to the
comparative nature of the sesamoid and
femur bon»»s of a calf, a sheep and a human
being. His answers were technical and
adroit, but of a character thpt supportec
his original identification aid testimony
with reference to th* bones in evidence.
- When Attorney Vincent concluded his
cross-examination of Professor Dorsey he
moved that the court exclude from the
record all of the evidence of the witness
and alto all of the evidence of Dr. Norval
Pierce in connection with the identifica
tion of the femur and temporal bones on
the ground that the identifications were
not based on legitimate or substantial
basis, but merely upon the opinion of the i
experts based upon certain alleged condi
tion*-. The motion was overruled. Tne
attorney then moved to. exclude aU of the j
evidence of Professor Delafontaine in I
which the latter had stated "these may j
be human bones.''.. This was approved I
and sustained and the motion allowed.
Captain Schuettler was called to the I
witness-stand to testify as to collateral
fads.
The closing hour of the afternoon ses
sion was devoted to the identification by
Professor Delaf Fontaine, Professor
Haines, Sergeant Spangler and other wit
nesses lor the prosecution of exhibits
used in the trial, all of which will go into
the jury-room when the case is submitted
to the jury.
The mostnotable visitor to the famous
trial to-day was United States Senator
William E. Mason. Senator Mason came
into court at 1:30 o'clock and was escorted
to the bcncr. by a court bailiff. He sat
beside Judge Tuthill for over an hour, an
interested observer of the court proceed
ings. It was the opinion of the attorneys
in the case to-day that the trial would
last at least three weeks longer.
There is said to be a difference between
Luetgert's counsel with reference to the
defendant taking the witness-stand in his
own behalf. Attorney Vincent is not in
clined to permit Luetgert to do so. At
torney Phelan believes the sausage-maker
should tell his story to the jury, Luetgert
himself is quite ' determined to go upon
the witness-stand. He not only de-ires to
tell bis story, but he also wants to address
the jury. In all likelihood be will testify.

Disappearance of a fireman.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. 17. — A
special to the Tribune from Pocatello,
Idaho, says: Fireman Bert . Wakefield
disappeared from bis engine, pulling
freight train 21. this afternoon, as com
pletely as though tbe earth bad swallowed
him up. Engineer Staples missed him
just after the train had crossed the bridge
over Bear River at Novene. The train
had stopped, but no-,- trace of the man
found. ■ They ran back , to . the river and
searched: there, but in vain, and had to
come on without- bim. ' It -is supposed
that Wakefield fell off his engine while
crossing the bridge, and that the body
was swept away by the current.
ETHEL DOWNS
A GAME MARE
Chris Peterson Beaten
by the Lion-Hearted
Trotter.
Most Stubbornly Contested
Race Seen at Sacramento
in Years.
Nordeau Wins the Stanford Stake
and Antrlma the 2;15
Trotting Event.
SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Sept. 17.-The
harness sport at the track to-day was lib
erally patronized. The racing was char
acterized by nothing in the record
breaking line, but the 2:13 trot proved ibe
most stubbornly contested raceseenheie
in years, and trotting-horse entbutiasts
would willingly have braved a trip over
Chilcoot Pass to view it. Ethel Downs,
the finely chiseled and lion-hearted daugh
ter of Boodle, and Driver Bunch of San
Jose issued from the contest with all the
honor. The affair was looked upon by the
smart ones as "oil out of the can" for the
Montana norse, Chris Peterson, driven by
Shaner, wbicb in the first pools sold
brought $40, to Galette $25 the field $10.
In a desperate drive through the stretch
in the first heat, witb Galette standing the
whip for over a furlong, Ethel gained the
verdict by a neck in.2:l6}£. There was
no marked change in the betting, and in
the heat following Boodle's daughter
locked horns with the favorite and in an
other fierce drive got home first by a head
in 2:l3}£* These two hard heats, it was
thought, settled her chances, and Chris
Peterson was a warmer choice than ever.
Shaner's horse went out and took the
third and fourth heats, while Bunch gave
Ethel Downs a breathing spell.
The fifth heat saw none but the black
San Jose mare and the sturdy Montana
horse . core for the word. As they were
sent away Bunch, beuind the mare,
at once opened up a gap, with the Peter
son backers saying, "Wait till he hits the
stretch." He did hit the stretch, but
Ethel hit it in advance of him, and, stand
ing punishment in the ganiest style pos
sible, snatched the beat at the wire by a
head. On returning to the wire Driver
Bunch and his charge were given a great
ovation.
The Stanford stake, value! at $760, was
taken by Nordeau, a Palo Alto-bred lilly,
the favorite, Owyhee, being badly beaten
after winning the first heat.
Carlyle Came, tne favorite, managed to
cet away with two heats in the 2:15 trot.
Then Antrima, the second choice, slipped
in and took the next three.
In the openfng pools sold on the four
starters for the Stanford stake Owyhee, j
the OaKwood stock farm entry, driven by ;
Ben Cheboya, sold over the bald at odds ]
of $30 against $16. He took the first heat j
without effort in 2:23%, which caused a
decided calm in the belting, Auctioneer '
Leuch being unable to peddle-off a ticket j
at any odds. Nordeau, which . was. ex* I
' pected to press the favorite, made a break j
at the first turn, finishing a. distant third.
To the surprise of all, in the second
! heat Havey, behind Nordeau, went out j
and trotted big rings around Owyhee,
j leading the big bay past tbe wire by a i
! hall-length in 2:21}.. This caus?d a big
shift in tbe betting. Pitched in with
Lynall and Uncle James as coaxors, Nor
deau brought $20, with Owyhee going for
|$6 In this heat Owyhee led to the
stretch, where he weakened and dropped
back. Nordeau then assumed command,
but was given quite a brush by Lynall,
finally winning me heat by a half-length
in 2.25%.
-Now selling against the field at prohib
itive odds, the fourth and deciding neat
was easy lor the Palo Alto filly, which
again displayed superior stamina and won
from Lynall by a half-length in 2:2»j.
There was a vast supply of Carlyle
Came coin at the outset of the pooling on
the 2:15 trot, the McDowells' gray bring- I
ing $25, Antrima $18 and the field $10. |
Carlyle took the opening heat without j
effort from Lady oin 2:17J4, after which :
he brought $20, Antrima $ib and the field
$10. The second neat was another snap j
tor Carlyle, which led from the word and i
finished four lengths ahead ot Conn at the !
wire, with Antrima a bang-up third.
There was now a peculiar shift in the j
betting. Notwithstanding the fact that
Quae had taken both beats in handy 1
fashion, the wise ones "in en the know" |
were afraid their money would get cold, I
and when the horses were calief for the |
third heat, Heating's mare. Antrima, had j
a slight call over McDowell's horse in tbe |
netting, an average pool being Antrima i
$26, Carlyle Came $25 and the field $L
In the third heat Carlyle led until near- j
ing the stretch, where Margaret Worth
assumed the lead. Keating now called on
Antrima, and the black mare took the
heat easily by a length in 2:16%. After
this, Antrima sold against the field, and
it was clear sailing for her, the Montana
mare tucking the two heats necessary to
annex the purt-e up her sleeve and trudging
off to the stable.

Over 10,000 men are still out, with no ap
parent prospect of settlement; sporadic
outbreaks of violence are occurring near
the outlying collieries, and the withdrawal
of troops is not only beyond considera
tion, but the guard lines of several of the
camps are being constantly stengthened,
and the wisdom of bringing the cavalry is
being discussed. -..'.' '
A captain of General Go'oin's staff is au
thority lor the statement that an uneasy
feeling prevails at headquarters in conse
quence of the little outbreaks of the past
few days, and the indications they hold
of the underlying disturbance. The bri
gade commander admitted to-day that
the action of the raiding women was giv
ing him much perplexity. He does not
care to use force against them, and has in
structed the soldiers in case of necessity
to use only the flats of their sabers upon
the Amazons.
Tho story reaches the general that many
men were in the attacking crowds of yes
terday and , to-day disguised as women.
Tbis morning's violent scene at Auden
reid was almost an exact repetition of yes
terday's at t c same place. It arose from
another attempt to start the Monarch and
Star washeries of tne Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Company. About 100 men reported
for work at the former, when the wild
band of women swooped down upon
tbem, armed with sticks and stones.
Others were stationed on top of an adja
cent culm, whence they showered missiles
upon the would-be workers, and a large
body of men nnd boys waited in reserve
behind the banks. The men promptly
quit work before any injury could be in
flicted. •
At the Star washery, where 100 or 135
men wanted' to work, a like assault
stopped them. Tne call for troops, which
came from Cranberry at 2 o'clock this
niornine, was the act ot a night watch
man, who mistook sold. ers for strikers-
All the dynamite that can be found in the
region is being collected and stored to
keep it from the hinds of the miners, and
100 men from the Ninth Regiment were
sent over to guard the house. ; The watch
man ' saw* the lights and moving figures,
lost his nerve and telephoned that an at
tack was threatened.
Late last night v. body of strikers at
Latimer No. 2 quarreled among them
selves and bloodshed was threatened, but
Company E of the Thirteenth Regiment,
which is camped at Latimer, restored
quiet. A ' '■•" ' '"'■ ■■ ■'■;-.
DepJty Coroner Bowman will begin the
inquedL over the bodies ot the dead miners
next Wednesday afternoon.- Over 100 wit
nesses will be examined. .
■ General Gobin will not interfere with
to-morrow nisrhi's big mass-meeting unless
highly colored speeches are made. The
principal speakers are to be P. J. Mignire,
vice-president of the American Federa
tion of Labor, and Georgo Chance of the
United Labor League. As a precautionary
measure a guard ol soldiers will be pres
ent. Organizer Fahey and other leaders
have asked that the militia be withdrawn,
and General Gobin has advised them that
the speediest way to accomplish this will
be to put a stop to holding mas-t-meetings
and thereby exciting tne people.
Tne only change in the strike situation
to-day was the return to #OtS of the 500
employed at Coxe's Beaver Meadow col
liery. The mm rs say that tuis is only
temporary, and that if the other Coxe men
at Dritton and elsewhere decide at tbeir
meeting of next Mon pay to go out the
Beaver Meadow men will join them.

Prompt Action Taken Upon the
Report of Captain Ray— Lawless
Element Needs a, Check. ;
WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 17.— The
report from Captain Ray, the army officer
who was sent to Alaska to investigate the
condition of affairs there, formed, the
basis of the Cabinet decision to-day to
send a small force of soldiers to St. Mi
chael at the earliest moment. Captain
Ray's advices were of date August 27. He
was then at St. Michael, about to take the
steamer up tbe Yukon to Circle City. His
report showed that without doubt great
suffering must be expected in the Klon
dike region this winter, owing to the lack
of food supplies. Further details on that
point were promised at a later date. He
regarded it as essential that some kind of
force acting under lawiul authority be
placed at St. Michael to restrain the law
less * lement.
Secretary Alger late this afternoon gave
the necessary orders for the sending of
troops There will be only twenty-five
infantrymen, and they will be sent from
Fort A. D. Russell, where Captain Ray
had made a selection of hardy men to ac
company him when he was about to go
north before. These men will be under
the lead of Lieutenant-Golonel Randall of
the Eighth Infantry, now at Cheyenne,
and there will be a surgeon and three
members of the army hospital corps, be
cause of the reports of prevailing sickness
in Alaska.
Secretary Alger has managed to over
come the difficulty in the matter of trans
portation by means of telegraphic corre
spondence with President Weare of the
Alaska Transportation Company. That
gentleman has informed the Secretary
that the company will start another boat
from Seattle for St. Michael within the
next seven days. This boat' will take up
mainly food and clothing supplies, but
the troops will be taken also if the War
Department desires it,
CHEYENNE, Wyo, Sept. Lieuten
ant-Colonel George _'. Randall, Eighth
United States Infantry, stationed here, re
ceived orders to-night from- the War De
partment to start within a .week with
twenty-tive enlisted men and two officers

Mail-Carrier Brown Compels Indian
Packers to Keep Their Contracts ]
. by Displaying a Gun.. . i
PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., Sept. 17.—
A letter received here this morning shows
that David E. Brown, a former mail-car
rier here, has broken the record in cross
ing Chiicoot Pass. Brown left here for
Juneau on the steamer Queen August 29.
From Juneau he took a small boat for
! Dyea. In nine days after kissing his wife
good-by he wrote from Lake Bennett that
! he had crossed the pass and had engaged
passage with other travelers in a boat
from Lake Bennett to Dawson City, pay
ing $450 cash for the passage down the
rivei. His outfit weighed only 350 pounds
and he was well provided with money.
The time on the trail from Dyea to Lake
Bennett was forty-five hours. Brown wai
accompanied by two Indians, who carried
bi3 freight across the pass for 38 cents a
pound. He made a contract with the In
dians at Dyea, and at Sheep Camp they
struck for 45. cents a pound, but Brown
forced them at the point of a revolver to
fulfill the contract at the original price,
which they did, as Brown drove them
ahead, himself bringing up the rear with
i 100 pounds on bis back and his revolver in
i nis hand.

"I had been troubled with dyspepsia for over fifteen
years and the last five. years suffered intensely. I had
tried quite a number of remedies, and though at times
they relieved my suffering they never cured- me. About
four months ago I noticed the advertisement of Ripans
i| Tabules and bought some, and by using them as directed
they benefited me more than I expected. Soon I found / i
that all signs of the disease had disappeared and that I ! /
was gaining in weight right along, and to-day I can say '
that I am thoroughly cured. I have gained in weight
seventeen pounds, increasing from 1 28 to 145 pounds.
