A corset worn by Miss Delia Ostbye
for the sake of form acted as a shlrt-of-mall
to turn aside the point of a knife
alleged to have been aimed at her heart,
and as a result the young woman who
thus miraculously escaped Injury Is ap
pearing this afternoon In Justice Gra
ham's Mount Tabor Court, as a witness
against Frank B. Ridney, charged with
assault with a dangerous weapon.
The trouble which Is being aired In
court occurred at an early hour Sunday
morning In Center Addition, near Mount
Tabor. It Is 'claimed that Miss Ostbye
was walking out in the company of a
young man. named Eltce, when-Ridney
suddenly appeared and struck at her with
a knife.
The blade. It is said, penetrated . the
thin shirtwaist worn by the young wo
man, but struck the padding and steel
rlbe of her corset and was - deflected
from her body, liot even drawing blood.
Her clothing was badly cut, but beyond
a rather severe nervous stock the girl
escaped entirely without Injury.
Ellce, Miss Ostbye's escort, advanced
upon the midnight assailant, wrenched
the knife from his grasp and adminis
tered .such a severe beating that Ridney
was unable to appear in court until to
day. : On Monday a charge of assault
with a dangerous weapon was lodged
against Ridney and he was taken Into
custody. Should the evidence be found
sufficiently strong, he may be held to
answer before the District Court and
final conviction might mean a term in
state prison. ,
Ridney, who Is a. married man,' lives
near the home of Miss Ostbye, In Cen
ter Addition, and It Is charged that he
has been attentive to the girl, who Is
said to have spurned his advances.

- HELENA.- Mont.;-June Mrs.- L.
Brown of Powdervlllo has given herself
into the hands of Sheriff Savage of Cus
ter county, saying that it was . she
who killed Richard Standifer, formerly,
her husband, and who afterwards mar
ried her sister.
Mrs. Brown told the sheriff that
Standifer and his wife were at . her
ranch visiting about a week ago, and
Standifer, her former husband, asked j
her why she never came over to visit
them and she said she replied she did
not want to. Upon this Standifer
struck her violently in the face and
knocked her down. When she arose he
knocked her . down again. The third
time she got up she started for . the
house to get a gun but Standifer pre
vented, her from so doing.
Later Standifer and his wife met her
enroute to town.
Standifer asked her where she was
going, and she said "To town to have
you arrested."
Standifer replied: "If you do I'll
kill you. I guess I'd better kill you
right now." f .,
Then he reached toward his boot
after his gun, and Mrs. Brown says
she knew him well enough to take no
chances and shot him- as he stooped
over, the bullet hitting him In the back
and he fell out of the buggy.
She went to Miles City where she sur
rendered and was released on $5,000
bail. The poor woman's action Is ap
proved by citizens generally who regard
Standifer as a bad character. ,

For toying with the heartstrings at
Birdie N. McCarty, Jamea D. Heryford
Is facing a danlae. suit in the . United
States Circuit Court in the sum Of
$70,000.
The case , was called ioc.trlal jrester? .
day afternoon and its principals are
James Heryford, cattleman and banker ,
of Lakevlew, and Miss Birdie N. Mc
Carty, a school teacher, from Michigan.'
According to the plaintiff .Heryi!or.d i
worth In the neighborhood of a quarter .
of a million, but the defendant declares
he has only $70,000, the amount of dam
ages asked by the woman.. .
Protestations of love, broken promises
of marriage and her ruin are tho charges :
brought by Miss McCarty against; the
big stockman. Heryford, on the other
hand, declares that the woman has not
been compromised, and that he has at
all times been willing to take her as. his
wife. t
According to the story of the plaintiff
Miss McCarty came to Lakevlew In Sep-
tember, 1900, to teach school. Sh
boarded at the home of Heryford, s
widower of 45. with four children. Miss
McCarty, fit the time, was 29 years of
age. A strong friendship sprang up
between the man and woman and this
finally ripened Into love. Miss McCarty
declares Heryford promised to marry
her and she consented on condition she
be nllowed to spend half her time after -
the marriage in Michigan. It was shortly
after this, that Heryford; the woman al
leges, wronged her, and their relations) ,
continued until the summer of 1901.
when she returned to Wayne, Mich.,
to prepare for the wedding. , .
The two corresponded during the sum
mer until finally the stockman wrote .
that he no longer loved Miss McCarty,
and asked that he be released from his -
promise to marry her. She wrote beg
ging him to marry her. . To this en
treaty she received no response, and
finally, after several months, upon the
advice of attorneys, sho threatened suit
for breach of promise. Then Heryford ' .
agreed to take hf. provided" she would '
come to Renpr'fieY,, butslle refused. '
and last fall suit was filed In. the United
States Court. . , . . r ,
--Miss- McCarty- occupied the ' wl'litesa"""

trial today. The courtroom was crowded
with the morbidly curious, and several
women were present listening to the
story related by Miss McCarty. f
