SHOT HK.lt lit SUA Ml.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 7. Sarali
W. Cox shot her husband. Leander
Cox, at their home at SIS Pine street
last night. Inflicting only a scalp
wound, and turning the gun on her
self, sent two bullets Into the left
temple near the ear.
Mrs. Cox died an hour later.
She was 35 years old and her hus
band Is 71. Mrs. Frank Blade, a
neighbor, says the woman had been
drinking heavily all day.
Five ahota were fired, with an In
terval of fully a minute between
such of the first three ahnta, accord
Ink. to R. L. Durham and C. S. Wen
artlt, who roomed at the Cox horns.
The first two shots went through the
fcltcben door. The third shot, which
wounded Cox, was fired at close
range and the two were struggling
Sa the weapon exploded, sending a
ballet through Cox's hat brim.
It Is claimed a quarrel started
tn Cox accused his wife of driving
all the roomers away.
Cox married hli wife two years
ago aa the reault of hli advertise-
ment for a housekeeper. Cox aay '
that be and hla wife came to Seattle
from Effle, In Whitman county.
While In the hospital two months
ago. he claims that hla wife sold their
farm and that only by the Interven-
tlon of one of his grown sons waa
she prevented from getting all the j
proceeds of the sale. Cox is well to
do.

PARIS, Oct. 7 Official advices
received In Paris Indicate a very
great degree of Hpiilar excitement
about Servla. The further mobiliza
tion ordera which have been Issuer
and reaerves called to the colora are
said to be 75,000. It is feared tin-
Servian government. In order to aave
itself, will be driven to embark on a
desperate adventure against Austria
Hungary. The diplomatic situation
briefly la as follows:
Turkey virtually agreed to refrain
from final measures against Bulga
ria and Austria-Hungary pending the
action of the powrea. In the mean
time the cabineta at Paris, London
and St. Peteraburg engaged In ef
forts to formulate a program for sub
mission to the powers along with the
invitations to the conference. Cer
tain difficulties, especially on the
side of Huasla, who deslrea latitude
for compensatory advantagea, prin
cipally the question of tbe passage of
the Dardanells, are intimated, but it
Is thought these can be adjuster.
Tbe obstacles In the way of as
sembling the powers In an interna
tional conference to discuss tbe Bal
kan situation are piling up. Great
Britain's ideas In this direction clash
strongly with those ot Russia. M.
Iswolsky, tbe Russian minister of
foreign affairs, today In an Inter
view In which he declares the treaty
of Berlin Is directed against Russia,
and be serves notice that If there is
to be a revision of the treaty which
Russia favors, his government will
demand a compensation.
Great Britain, on the contrary, la
assuming the role of protector of the
integrity of Turkey and the atatua
quo. She opposes the general revis
ion of a treaty which would amount
virtually to a acramble of tbe powers
for compensation at the expense of
Turkey.
MUH. HAINKH WAXTH DIVOIU'K.
NEW YORK. Oct. 7. All doubt
as to what- would be the attitude of
Mrs. Hains In the forthcoming trial
of ber husband. Captain Peter Cono
ver Halns. Jr.. accused of tbe murder
of William E. Aunls at tbe Rayaide,
L. 1., Yacht club In Auguat last, waa
dlapelled by the Inauguration by her
of proceedlnga In the aupreme court
of Brooklyn, In which a general de
nial la made of the allegations of
wrongdoing with Annie, which Cap
tain Halna made In his suit for di
vorce against her, and formed the
basis of his defense for the shooting
of Annls.
Mrs. Halns asks counsel fees to de
fend the divorce suit, alimony and
the custody of her three children.
The papers will not be filed until
Monday, but their general tenor waa
freely discussed by the attorneya.
From thla It appears that Mrs.
Halns alleges that the break between
herself and her husband was due to
tbe poisoning of the latter'a mind by
her brother-in-law, Thornton J.
Halna, whose enmity she bad In
curred, ahe asserts, by repulsing his
advances. In her petition for $1000
counsel fees and $50 a week alimony,
Mra. Halns, It is gathered, will ut
terly deny Improper relations with
Annls.
The famous confession of her Im
proper conduct upon which the at
torneys for Captain Halns have de
pended to prove their client's Irre
Hlwnsihilily, It Is asserted. Is not re
pudiated, save only that the claim Is
advanced by Mrs. Halns tbnt It was
obtnined from her while she was un
der the effect of a drug.
A letter beginning "My Dear
Billy." which the lawyers for Cap
tain Halns have In their possession,
nnd which they claim was written by
Mrs. Halns to William K. Annls, Is
declared a forgery.
The application will lie vigorously
opposed. tho lawyers for Captain
Hains helng particularly anxloua to
prevent the recovery by Mrs. Halns
of ber three children, one of whom
they Intend to use as a witness in
the murder trial.
The child, according to Jobn F.
Mclntyre, of Captnln Hnlus' counsel,
is expected to testify as to vis! bv
Annls to the captain's quartern at
Fort Hamilton, and to certain impro
prieties between Annls and Mrs.
Halns. which it Is asserted h? wit
nessed. THE NEW MILL.

Jones for chaperon, the lean Jacob to
ruu errands, old Jones to drive into the
village once a week after kerosene and
baking powder and their mall tbe
very thought of It produced thrills.
Well, It all came about. Tbey went
down early In July to remain for two j
months. Word bad been sent to Jones
that they wished to rough It and that
he must not remove any of the ro
mance. He obeyed orders. He built j
three rude bunks, put In an old table
and three chairs and furnished n lump
There were a few panes of fflass In
tbe windows, and lie did not add to tbe
numlier: there were a few holes In tbe
roof, and he did not cover them: there
was half mi acre of pigweeds around
the house, and he did not mow them
down. Mr. Jones wtm romantic him
self and appreciated the sentiment In
others.
The outing n-ted off with "How
ehanulntrr "ll.w ideal T and How
very romantic!' -Then the three gfrls
got their head together and look a
wilemn vow It was that they would
renin I n until the very lant day of Au
gust and that lu the Interval they
would not encourage any young man
to address them any young man ex
cept Jacob, from whom tbey learned
that young men came that way at In
tervals to flab In tbe bay.
The bungalow was a success from
the mart. Ou tbe first nlgbt It rallied,
ami tbe water dripped down through
a duaen leaks: ou tbe second night a
cow came and put her bead through
one of tbe windows to see what
strange cattle had arrived and taken
poMsesalon; on the third an owl alight
ed on tbe roof tree aud uttered three
w hoops, s ud t bey were f ol to wed by
three exclamations of "Murder!' 'Io
lice!" and "Help!"
On the fourth day Jacob appeared
with a pitcher of buttermilk and some
startling news. He bad dlwovered
a young man had cone Into carup a
short quarter of a mile away. He bad
with him a tent, a boat, plenty of
provisions aud cooking uttnlls. I.
ooked as If he Inteuded to stay right
there all summer. Jacob had entered
the yo'ing man's camp and awked him
to please move two miles farther up
or down. The youug utau bad glared
at hltn aud kept on reading a volume
of poetry. The news created Intense
excitement at once. Ao ludlgnatlon
meeting was at once called, and It was
resolved "that tbe young man bus
got to go and that we wait upon hini
in a body aud tell him so."
Jacob bravely offered his help, but
it was declined. "The body marched
straight for tbe enemy's camp, each
face wearing a look of determination
The enemy waa sitting down smoking
a pipe, but ou their arrival he rose up
and doffed bis cap nnd stood at
spectful attention. Miss Florence was
sirokesmnii. aud after a slight shiver
she announced:
Sir. tills Is my futher's property.
aud you are s trespasser. I have to
request that you kludly go away.'
"But It happens to be my property,
replied the stranger, with a smile.
"Your father's farm euds at tbe creek
there."
"Hut but we are three girls, sir."
Tbe young man bowed to the three
in turn.
"And we bave a bungalow and do not
wish to be disturbed."
"I shall take great pleasure In not
disturbing you."
"Rut can't you understand, sir, that
we are on oar vacation and don't want
any men around?"
"Sorry, young ladies extremely sor
ry but I am ou my vacation and don't
want any females around. I will agre
to keep my distance If you wilt keep
yours. I have cauiteil here for tbe pai
three years on account of this spring."
The delegation walked back to the
bungalow without a word. Then the
meeting was called to order again, and
Miss Florence asked what further steps
were deemed necessary to rid them
selves of the presence of the Impudent
Intruder.
"Why. ir It's his land be bas a right
(here, hasn't be?" Ingenuously queried
Molly.
"And I didn't expect to see such a
good looking young man." sighed F.dlth.
"Are you girls going to turn traitor?"
lemanded tbe chairman li Indignant
tones. "Hs may be good looking, and
he may be on hla owu land, but he's no
gentleman. A gentleman would have
couaented to move bis camp even ten
miles If kludly requested by three girl
who were camping by themselves. I:
be thinks we are going sway lu(ea:
he'll find himself very much mistaken
We must snub him ou every ihumJMi
occasion."

said he giieKSed the young mau wn
