Chicago, June 23. A granddaughter
of the famous Lady Watson, of London,
was arraigned at the Desplaines station
court yesterday for violating the ordi
nance prohibiting the gathering of street
crowds. She is Mrs. Margaret J. Rice,
and all over Canada and in some cities of
the United States she i more familiarly
referred to as "thb wife of the cowboy
preacher." Mr. Rice's offenseconsisted
in obstructing the corner of Pearl and
Madison street by addressing a crowd
which was attracted there by the fervor
of her preaching. She is very young,
not being yet 18 years old, and both she
and her hysband are among the most re
markable people the police have had
dealing with in a long time. Mr. R,ice
is the daughter of the late Hon. F. V.
Shields, of Toronto. The cowboy
preacht' ha been arrested 70 or 80 times
for obstructing the streets, and hi wife
ha likewise been a prisoner in different
cities for the same reason, and it has
been their practice to pay no fine on such
occasion. Rice says the present arrest
is the result of spite. .In court Mr.
Rice's dress was of fashionable cut, and
a nobby Bailor hat, with a Btand-up
collar and necktie, completed her attire.
On her finger she wore eeveral diamond
ring. "Not guilty," wag her answer.
A small fine was imposed, but the justice
remitted the fine and Mrs. Rice was
allowed to go. Her friends have secured
Luther Laflin Mill to push a criminal
case against the police for false arrest.
Mrs. Rice preached from the eame
corner, and the police were defied.
Unfits, owing fo the fact that she has
deliberately acknowledged the killing of
Thomas Henderson Boyd, her husband,
who was editor of an Olympia newspaper.
The court, room of the criminal depart
ment is crowded, and the judge ha been
obliged to order the court room doors
closed after the court room is filled to
avoid the jam which would follow in case
such an order was not made. Startling
revelation have been made by letters
written from Thomas Henderson Boyd
to Mrs. Boyd, in which he has laid deep
schemes for blackmailing a great many
prominent men of the state of Washing
ton. Prominent among these parties
are bankers and business men of Seattle,
Tacoma, Olvmpia and Spokane. The
general plan was to have his wife, who
was formally of unchaste character, but
who has been, since her marriage, true
to her marriage vows, go to these differ
ent men and entice them into com
promising positions with her, and then
extorting money from them in order to
save their reputation. This he urged
with eucIi persistency and she resisting
it with tlie same earnestness, caused
them both to become desperate, and one
night, when Mr. Boyd endeavored to
force his wife into one of these inhuman
acts, she became desperate with anger,
and shot him four times, killing him in
stantly. The sympathy of the people
was somewhat against her until thi
revelation, and it has been established
to such a degree of certainty that an
immediate acquittal is almost certain.
The revelations w hich seem to be well
proven establish the fact that Thomas
Henderson Boyd was one of the most in
human,immoral vampires whoae life has
ever been investigated.
Seattle, June 23. Mr. Boyd was
cleared at 1 :30 this morning by the jury.
Five hundred person waited for the
verdict. It is said the defendant ha
promised to become a missionary among
fallen women.

circus started to move in the morning.
The regular trainer was not alxmt and

his gaff and Eulalia parted company with
him, Bhaking him off, and before he
could escape the animal stepped on him,
crushing two rib. The elephant then
trotted down the street. O'Rourke was
sent to the county hospital, while the
manager and a crowd of BH.ctator
started after tlie elephant. Then began
the chase through Knglewood, up one
street and down another. When a good
portion of the suburb had been traversed
and trampled upon, Eulalia w as brought
up with a round turn and submitted to
the dictation of her captors.
